Without a doubt one of the best sandwich joints in Portland. Absolutely everything made here is created with a passion for delicious food, and you can certainly tell when you taste it. From the smoked chicken wings, to the burgers, to the properly layered and piled high nachos, you will not be disappointed with anything you get on the menu. Pair anything with their extensive liquor selection and great tap list, along with amazing cocktails they make in house. I feel like when I’m inside, it’s like I’m back in my grandparents basement. It’s cozy and has a great feeling. Patio is great for the summertime. I can’t recommend this place enough.

I love everything about this place. The staff is kind, patient, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is exquisite and unique and the atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. I even had a phone call with the owner regarding an art piece there and she was so patient and helpful in answering my questions and steering me to where I might find something similar. Top notch customer care in all the senses.

Such an amazing spot! We had dinner and drinks before the Feist show at the Wonder Ballroom. The food was awesome and the portions are huge! We got the fried chicken sandwich, tater tots and arugula salad to share. Everything was absolutely delicious. Only thing better was the outstanding service! We will definitely be back.

Excellent cocktails, burgers to die for, and other dishes are excellent, too! Great relaxed atmosphere (check if there's a concert at the Wonder Ballroom above if you want to avoid crowds). Wonderful staff and service.

The food, service, ambience are some of THE BEST you'll find in Portland. Awesome staff, food is pub fare but done very well with generous portions, and they always have super tasty beers on tap. Those nachos, totts, fries, mac and cheese, and green salad are all freakin tasty and BIG. Actually all the food we had was excellent! You can tell whoever is making the food cares about quality/taste/value. Plus the ambience is super fun, they always play excellent music and if you're seeing a show upstairs its pretty much a MUST pre-game destination.

The food was great and atmosphere was fun. I had the Smoked Fried Chicken Sandwich. while my wife had the Smokes Smoked Mac and Cheese. We also split an order of tots. There was a lot of food and we felt we got our money's worth.

Everything about tonight was amazing. I loved the feel of this local gem. We had the tots, a couple cocktails and the steak frites. They all live up to the reviews. It was delicious, I wish I remembered my server/bartenders name. She was the highlight of our night. We will remember her.
