My man! Best cheese steak i’ve had in portland didn’t know they even offered authentic cheese steaks. I’m from nj and this was one of the best cheese steaks i’ve ever had. The owner gave my fam free mac n cheese salad and just really hooked it up. I would recommend coming here if you want good authentic new york/philly food. ?

Ok, so it’s a bit far from my house. As an *extremely* picky eater I was worried about not being able to mod my sandwich but I went with it. NO MODS NEEDED. Like there’s a reason they don’t do it. It’s literal perfection. I genuinely think this may be the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. I will be ordering again tonight for the second time in a row. Even on DD it arrived fresh and hot and it’s like a 20 min drive? (I know I know but I’m lazy) my first time eating from here and it blew my expectations out of the water. They know what they’re doing.

I rarely leave a review, but we will not be returning here since the food and service were so bad. Sandwiches were meh, fries terrible, service poor, and their primary vegetarian options were supposedly out 2 hrs after opening on a Saturday. All the food was far too salty (and I like my food salty but this was ridiculous) and fries were stale and luke warm. We ordered 3 sandwiches which were brought to our table with no labeling so it was tricky distinguishing whose was whose. Pretty sure they botched our order and gave us 2 of the same sandwich but who knows cuz nothing was labeled. Service was also very slow. Not impressed at all.

The cheesesteak was FIRE! I loved the sesame seed roll, and the cheese sauce was killer. Ate too quick to take a picture.

Didn’t even get to try the “amazing food” because the people working there just flat out ignored my dasher after 1.5h after the order was placed. He waited there for a half hour.

A brief passing glimpse of a “Jawns” sign glowing in the night led us to this joint. We ordered the moment they opened the next day. My husband is from Philly and we lived there for years. We have tried pretty much every “touted” cheesesteak in Portland with varying levels of disappointment. Until now. THIS IS IT. Just bread, onion, meat, and cheese in some age-old, who-knows-what, you-know-it-when-you-taste-it alchemy of flavor that IS a Philly cheesesteak. Thank you thank you thank you. We’ll be back!

Their Philly cheesesteak probably saved my life last night. Might need to get saved again tonight.

I’ve been such a fan of Papi Sals, or John’s Jawns since they first opened-and the quality of the food has only become more mouth watering and the smiles from the folks behind the counter have only gotten bigger!Jess and John are crushing it and if you’re not smashing hoagies from this spot, you’re missing out.

Oh my god this was the best vegan I’ve ever had. I’m coming back tomorrow and I told my friends. They have cool ribeye sandwiches and I bet that slaps, but this was
