It's delicious with a great pita, perfectly flavored lamb-beef giro meat, tzatziki sauce, etc. The size of the sandwich is very generous. It's the best giro sandwich we have found in the Portland area. Highly recommended.

I mentioned that terrariums are popular and I would love a few... and the next time we visited she had a whole display of them put together. Friendly, caring and great prices... all you could ask for in a small town.

Great selection of arrangements and very reasonably price. Lisa provides great service.read more

This is your basic old skool small town place that has been around forever but for a reason. I…read morestopped by and had their Sunday breakfast while I was in town on business. The place is basic but warm and inviting and when it's full of locals you know it will be good. As long as you are not in a hurry (think Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore) with one waitress you'll get a great meal at a great price.

We came in after a day of antique shopping. Wanted to sit down and have a nice lunch. The food was…read moregood, we ordered sandwiches with fries. The service was lacking, one of there staff members has a horrible attitude. He seems like he doesnt even want to be there. The restaurant is dirty. There's dust and greasy fingerprints everywhere. The carpet is stained with cobwebs in the corners. I overheard someone talking about ants in their soda last time they were in, so I didn't get a beverage. This feels like a local spot that caters to a regular crowd and isn't very accommodating to out of towners. I guess we should stick to what's on the main street.

If you're a sandwich purist like me, you'll love this place!!

Had to double check their menu since I thought the prices haven't been updated in years?! To my…read moresurprise the prices are real, and reasonable. Unto the food and other things. The food is basically steamed sandwiches with meat, cheese, sauce and hoagie. No lettuce or tomatoes are available. The sandwiches are mostly $7, while their "loose goose" sandwich (their top seller), is a steamed loose burger (has onions grilled with the meat) served loose with cheese and their sauce runs for $8. It was MUCH better than I expected it. Something that doesn't always happen when you underestimate and are pleasantly surprised. The loose goose is like a burger except on a hoagie and without a formed patty. It's warm, gooey, cheesy. The sandwiches come with a pickle plate which is basically a few pickles, banana peppers and some homemade tapenade. Sides are strong and only $4 ($3 as a combo with sandwich) Drinks are super affordable. The prices for the alcoholic drinks are like 2020. Cozy spot, great server. 5/5

Very popular since most of the onsite seating were occupied (6/20/25). No surprise after glancing at their menu, easily I could gravitate towards several of their sandwiches. Lots of merch and deli items are also available to select from. I ended up ordering a half pound of proscuitto (0.52 lb for $17.67). This was carefully sliced thin, packaged, and wrapped carefully, which was duly noted and greatly appreciated. We paused at window counter seats and had to sample the purchase before departing. Absolutely delicious! Helped elevate a meal the next day too. I may have to return to indulge in one of their Italian sandwiches. Update: we did return to dine onsite at the same window counter seats (6/22/25). The Homie had the Hot Meatball ($14). Meaty with zesty sauce. I had the Salami Panini ($12), which reminded me of a fave Italian panini at Irwin's Bakery & Cafe in Seattle. Both were fantastic, hit the spot, clean plate club worthy, and definitely no takeout boxes needed! Gaetano's Market & Deli, a terrific find in Astoria!
