Reviews for East Side Deli on Lombard in Portland, OR
Been a big fan of east side since moving to Portland nearly 12 years ago. Recently noticed the horseradish on my Ruben isn?t as... spicy anymore. I have some sad feels about the shift in recipes/brands. Not a deal breaker, but as a condiment lover- it issorely missed. Otherwise a staple spot for my dine-out cravings. ???? Read more
This is the only location I?ve ever had a problem with. The first time I tried this place I was told to order a certain way so... that my sandwich would be made correctly. The lady was rude that day. From that point on I?ve only ordered a handful of times.This last time I ordered the way I was told per usual, but my sandwich came out incorrect. When I requested that my sandwich becorrected, I was told I was ?not cool? for the way that I ordered it. It was a problem and my fault because they had to fix itand I needed to order it differently. The lady was rude and argumentative. Would recommend a different location. This place isnot worth the hassle. Read more
I hadn't been to this location since 2019, a visit was long overdue. I ordered ahead online through their website. I got a... "build your own" sandwich, and a side of macaroni salad. They got it ready fast, and it looked good and tasted great! I think Iwill be coming here rather than the other corporate big sandwich company down the street. Good quality fresh ingredients, andtasty bread. Read more
Masterfully made sandwiches! This place reminds me of Seaport Deli, on Long Island. I didn't think Portland had any proper... delis, until now. Pricing is a bit high, for me...because I'm broke... not a reflection of the kitchen staff's labors; but thisis made up for in the sheer size of the sandwiches. If I hadn't been so hangry upon my first visit, I would have had leftoversfor later. They don't scrimp on contents. A real deli sandwich should be the size of your head, and this didn't disappoint. Myonly wish...add a good pickle spear in there, maybe a bag of chips. Only because this is part and parcel of a true deliexperience. Love you guys! Definitely coming back! Read more
As far as Delis go, East Side appears ordinary at first glance. The classic red Coke cups, the skinny non-absorbent napkins, the... "yah we mopped it but not today" feel as your shoes cross the floor. But order a sandwich and your world will change. This eaterhighly recommends the East Side Italian. Deli meats thinly sliced and combined in a medley of vegetables and cheeses. Notabletastes include the banana peppers, black olives, and Italian sauce dousing the inside of the bun. The flavor will bounce aroundyour mouth, sweet and savory and sour and spicy, giving you the experience of an Experience. A word of advice: enjoy it. Take abreak from work, grab this puppy with two hands, and prepare for the delight of deli meat sweats. You will not be disappointed,and will likely come away not only with a full belly, but a fuller understanding of both yourself and the Universe. Read more
This is defiantly the best deli sandwiches that I've had in years. I had the East Side Italian and is was so packed full of ... goodness that I could barely get my mouth on it to take a bite. Highly recommended and I will be back. Read more
This place has some really great subs. Their portions are generous and I have yet to leave this establishment unsatisfied. Bring... an appetite when you visit. The product and quality is consistent with their Hawthorne location so no matter which one youvisit, you're going to get a tasty sub. Read more
I came by after school I was chill and respectful and I went up to the window and she said do you have your phone on you to... which I replied yes but it's dead and she said next time order online very rudely and she was visually annoyed. I got the menuand I came back to the window and she asked what sandwich I wanted I asked to build my own and she rolled her eyes and huffedand gave me a pen. Overall I liked the sandwich but there was a lot of water dripping out of the sandwich, barely put any ranchand mayo on my sandwich. Overall a decent sandwich but will not be coming back because of the disrespectful worker with darkhair Read more
