32 Best Delis in Portland

“One of the best places in town to get a soup, salad, or sandwich! I love that you can have a gorgeous full lunch or just treat it like a coffee shop and get something from the espresso bar and pastry. They also have a great selection of wines, and for the holidays have some extra locally sourced gifts.“

“Perfectly bare-bones cafeteria with lightning service, probably good for a quick break. I had the bulgogi bowl first which was ready in 1 minute, and quality flavor..next day I crawled back for the best sourdough turkey sando of my life..just a straight line from my house to a SOLID food option😇“

“amazindg anddwichs. Paul is an artisan!“

“John's Marketplace is my favourite place to go. Awesome beer selection, good food, and owned by some awesome people. I also appreciate that the Hall Blvd location has a dog friendly patio.“

“My husband took our son next door for a haircut and wanted to try out this restaurant. He came home with all the food and we were so happy to eat their food!! So yummy and bomb 😊 Heres what he ordered - Tacos Al Pastor, chorizo breakfast burrito, Quesidilla with shrimp and Al pastor (special order not on the menu) , and Bacon breakfast burrito. We enjoyed everything 🙌🏽 ❤️ Next time we will post pictures 🤙🏽“

“Good food and good service.“

“Excellent authentic German food and drinks. Can't go there without getting a Leberkässemmel (roll with hot Leberkäse and mustard) for the road!“

“Even though I travel the world touring with "my" artists, this was my first time in Portland, Oregon. Our friends booked us a personal guide (Adam Thorn Smith, highly recommended! ) who showed us around and made Yelp even sent us a message on the day like "wow - you know how to explore all hot spots on one day". So after the Japanese and Rose gardens, we took a first bite here at Henry Higgins, which was very good. I liked the ambiance, and the lady at the checkout was nice - just as you would expect from a place you go to ;-) I prefer places with tableside service - but we loved everything we had - and yes, I would even use the word great for their bagels. I will not understand, though, why my breakfast sandwich with a toasted bagel, cheese, egg, and meat and a small bag of chips was cheaper than my wife's same bagel with cream cheese and egg salad (no chips, no cheese, no meat). I generally also have a problem when places do not offer any service but take my order and make me pick up (= "over the counter-service" only), suggesting to tip the same amount as if I were in a full-service restaurant, particularly when they had charged restaurant prices in the first place ($6 for a coffee, $11 for a regular, toasted bagel with cream cheese and egg salad). Again, we liked the place, even loved the bagels, would come back - but to rate five out of five stars, "surprises" would have to be on the positive rather than negative side.“

“I've come in there several times . Never really feeling comfortable because most of the employees are busy visiting with regulars and people they know They might offer you something to drink once in a while. Until ERICKA !!! She gives excellent customer service (this 5 star rating is for her) I was in there the other day and she was calling every single person by name. She us wonderful. You are very lucky to have her as an employee. I hope your paying her a decent wage because if not I would snatch her up in a heartbeat . She gives excellent customer service. I guarantee you that she is what brings alot of your business in. Thank you Erika for making me feel welcome!“

“I love their sausages, such a large variety. Friendly, knowledgeable staff“

“Great little deli perfect for a quick stop to pick up a bite to eat especially if you're in a hurry. They have hot food cold food.. lottery machines the people running it are the nicest folks also. Always great you and ask how your days going. All around great atmosphere.“

“I love this place. It my first choice when I feel like playing video poker. It's always clean, especially the bathrooms. The staff is friendly and attentive to their customers. They are also very protective of their customers. The atmosphere is very chill. I especially love the 80's music always playing on the radio. I rated the food a 4 because it's all frozen but still good. There are restaurants on each side of the deli also.“

“The pork enchiladas had lots of shredded pork and very cheesy an I love cheese. They weren’t drowning in the green sauce. The best I’ve had in a very very long time.“

“Job search support excellent“

“I recently started working downtown and wanted a quick sandwich. This spot is now my new favorite. They put fresh carved turkey on their turkey sandwiches. Reasonable prices and very filling / delicious. They were also very quick. I’ll be a regular here for sure.“

“So good! definitely a gem of Portland that I was glad to find. The chicken strips were clearly hand breaded moist delicious and the dessert case was to die for I got a tuna melt and my partner got chicken strips in a couple of other things and everything was excellent!“

“I had an awesome time here. It was clean and sanitized frequently. The lady that was working was prompt and very sweet. I think her name was Jenny. Great costomer service and I even won a few bucks! I'll be back with my friends next time.“

“I really love going to this place for breakfast when I am at work. Greenleaf has amazing hot and cold food they make on request. One of my favorites is the burger bowl . They also have a ton of other things like snacks and drinks. You can get a full meal for under 10 dollars here which is pretty much impossible these days. The owners are also some of the nicest people !“

“I'm a weekly regular here, typically working for 2-3 hours per visit, and the experience is consistently exceptional. My go-to order is the chicken shawarma paired with the morning brew boba milk tea, and both are absolutely delicious. The shawarma stands out particularly because of the fresh-cut vegetables—I've never left a single bite uneaten. The atmosphere is perfect for getting work done, with soft music that creates a pleasant ambiance, and even the restroom is impressively clean and easily accessible—a detail that speaks to how well this place is run. What impresses me most is how reliably excellent everything is, visit after visit. The new management has been doing an exceptional job maintaining this high standard. I can't recommend this place highly enough.“

“This place has REAL food. It has the kind of homemade sandwiches you wish you could make but dont have the resources , so, instead you head here and have a nice friendly conversation and a huge delicious meal! Totally worth it. Yum.“

“I've always noticed the handpainted signs in the windows while driving down Columbia, but wanted a legit burger today. $7.50 for a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a drink, which is awesome and also, ohmygod, they give you a ton of crinkle fries. Fast service, clean, pleasant. Will come back to try the Bernie burger and the gyoza asap.“

“So far have only stopped in for a cold beer, their video game selection, and occasionally common like interested conversation. Another great reason this is the place to keep in mind is because they are a handful of few places that stay open until 2:00am-2:30am.“

“his Portland gnome enjoys a good watering hole, and Time Out Pub is a friendly, laid-back spot with plenty of character. 🍻 The drinks are solid, the crowd easygoing, and there’s a good neighborhood feel inside. Honestly though, the real treasure for this gnome is right outside—the taco truck! 🌮 Best food option by far, perfect for pairing with a pint. A fine place to relax, recharge, and grab a bite“

“It is layed back, mostly I always see the regulars in the house. All of the work staff are friendly but don't forget your id, because they will ask you every time to see it until you are known. My good friend Summer works here always willing to listen and ready to help in any way. Thanks Summer and all the lady's that work there for all you do. Dee“

“Good food & service. Thank you, Juana“

“Super nice folks who own and run the Deli & Mart. To my best recollection we've only ever bought drinks here. Oh, and gallon jugs of water to pour into the radiators of our latest $500 Craigslist car that was in its final stages of life.“

“This has always been one of my favorite video poker places in the area. The customer service is always polite and friendly, typically it's not always packed so there's always at least one if not a few open machines to play at, and I've always had pretty good luck here with hitting some good wins here so overall I like it here. It's quaint and cozy, and I give it five stars for being everything I've always appreciated it to be.“
