28 Best Delis in Portland

“I’ve been coming to Taylor Street Kitchen for lunch every couple of weeks, and they’ve never disappointed. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and very high quality!

Recently, they went above and beyond. I had a last-minute lunch order for my company that was unexpectedly canceled by another restaurant through DoorDash. With only 45 minutes before the meeting, I called Taylor Street Kitchen to see if they could help. Not only did they take the order for 12 sandwiches on short notice, but they had everything ready for pickup within 15 minutes. They were incredibly responsive and helpful, and they truly saved the day!“

“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 & service. Thank you, Juana“

“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😇“

“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.“

“amazindg anddwichs. Paul is an artisan!“

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

“Good food and good service.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely the yummiest food they have everything you could need here a clean space to eat and sit unlimited convience and the variety in food options is amazing for anyone needing that quick lunch there shrimp chow mein and pasteries and pasta are delicious with huge fresh shrimp to hit your taste Buds i highly recommend this place for affordable good eats the couple running it are very kind!!!“

“For my local corner bar that's good enough I don't drink so I can't comment on the expense of the drinks or their quality

Vegetarian options: It's a pub don't expect there to be a vegetarian option

Parking: Big lots on the side that's all gravel recycle spots at front that are on blacktop“

“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 !“

“So lovely! I work across the street and come here pretty regularly for lunch. But recently I think they changed ownership, because they have a whole new menu! The couple that was running it was so welcoming and offered me samples for homemade Baclava. The sub sandwiches are so yum and fresh every time! Love to come here and will keep coming as long as I work there.“

“Job search support excellent“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“The owner is the absolute sweetest, they weren't too busy for midweek lunch time, so that was nice.
I got the Chicken Katsu, and it's was enough for two people holy wow. It looked like two breasts worth of meat! I took half home.
Very reasonable price for the amount of food given.“
