SHORT ANSWER: YES, A very nice stopover at PDX, comfortable seating nearby to work, relax, and eat…read moresome airport food, food is ok. LOCATION: Great location but you will have to seek it out. FACILITY: Very well designed good looking space but pay attention on how to order as it is not instantly obvious. MENU: Good options, not super healthy. FOOD PREP: Pretty well done for an airport. FOOD QUALITY: Ordered a burger, it was okay a bit mushy and over salted but it was again, ok I ate half so maybe good to share. Fries however were amazing. WAITSTAFF: Above average for the airport, seemed well managed. OVERALL VALUE: This was okay, not a ripoff so I was happy. TIP: Good padded seating nearby, I had three hours to kill and had my feet up, power plugs, lunch, and my laptop so a happy traveler.

The line was pretty long however the staff was fast and efficient and was getting through the line fast. While waiting I was looking at the menu, and decided I would order a Broccoli cheddar soup since it was a cold rainy day and, I also ordered a Avo Turkey sandwich and added bacon to set my sandwich off. They make you sandwich on one area of the counter and you go to the end of the counter where they will confirm the sandwich you had made and they another person will add you toppings. You then go to the register to pay and since I ordered soup I picked up my soup and water at the register. There is no seating to dine in and it is strictly take out only. There is plenty of tables in the middle off the food court area though. The sandwiches was very good, but I have to say the broccoli cheddar soup was hands down my favorite.

Christmas Eve Magic, Molten Cheese, and Dive Bar Greatness!…read more Hello!!!!!! How have I been living in Portland and not known that Sandy Jug Tavern is serving up one of the best burgers in town? We swung by on a very busy Christmas Eve and were immediately hit with that perfect, cozy tavern glow. If you haven't been, the vibe is pure "Old Portland"--historic, unpretentious, and effortlessly cool. We managed to snag a spot near the bar, which was the perfect vantage point to watch the holiday chaos while sipping on our Christmas Old Fashioneds. Our trio went all in: a Juicy Lucy, a Chopped Cheese, and a BLT. I tried to play it safe and go the "healthy" route with the BLT--which was fresh and crisp--but the Juicy Lucy absolutely stole the show! As a group of self-proclaimed burger connoisseurs, we were floored. We're talking a thick, hand-pressed patty stuffed with molten American cheese that literally oozes with every bite. PRO TIP: Exercise some holiday restraint and let it sit for a minute so you don't incinerate your tongue on that delicious cheese lava! Not to be outdone, the Chopped Cheese was a gritty, glorious masterpiece--the perfect NYC-style love child of a cheeseburger and a Philly cheesesteak. Between the historic "Jug" setting, the friendly holiday service, and the cheese-stuffed heaven on a plate, our bellies left very, very happy. This isn't just a meal; it's a PDX rite of passage. We will definitely be back!

It tastes just like the first time My Father took me at the age of 10. But, give the other sandwiches a try because I have always been told they are delicious too!

Please be patient he the only one working and, he is preparing several orders per phone and walk ins. Ambiance~Is very chill vibes with music playing as you wait at a table, along the wall, or outside (you know when to come back to the counter when your order is ready but, he does call it out). Parking in the front and, along the side it's also a convenient store across the way. If you are craving a sandwich I highly suggest you give the place a try!

There is a food cart in the back with Hawaiian goods which I am down to try next time. The service is friendly and acknowledge me when I first got in. The reason why I went to this bar was to check out the vibes if it was too loud or too busy or if it is chill enough to hear conversations with one another. That would be it ! It was quiet enough to have conversations even for a drink with a large group. There is a Photo Booth and a vending machine for nicotine I believe. And there are signs that they have karaoke on Saturdays, which I will have to come back for so this is definitely a spot to check out. I did not give it a full five stars because the parking was not the greatest.

We had dinner there on a Friday night, and there was plenty of tables available. Let's start off with the food. I had the pork chops. Probably one of the best I have ever had. It was cooked just right. Another one of the Foodie Folx ordered the Vodka Pie Pizza, she loved it. The Beet salad was also a very big hit. I of course had the tiramisu for dessert. Excellent. The service is very good. You order at the counter, and they bring out to your table. Oh I want to mention that the Penicillin cocktail is excellent.
