Not surprised this place closed. I went a couple months ago and the owner refused to add Buffalo to my sandwich because he didn't agree with it. Owner made me feel stupid after clarifying. His response was "Buffalo goes on the chicken not the normal Philly so I'll put it on the side" Jersey Mikes is cheaper and better. It's sad that's the bar when the name of the place is based off cheesesteaks. read more

Grant's Philly Cheesesteaks - Philly, with ez cheese, sweet red cherry peppers, and fries. - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Atmosphere: Very dark inside. Better to get to-go Food: The size of the sandwich is okay. It's pretty messy and I thought it was merely okay. Definitely does not compare to a Philly cheesesteak but I guess it's among the better options in Portland Price: Way too expensive for a 12 inch cheesesteak. About $5-7 more than you'd pay on the East Coast Service: Average Parking: Street parking read more

Grant's Philly Cheesesteaks - Cheesesteak with Whiz - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Small off the beaten path place that serves open face sandwiches. The workers were happy we came and thanked us for being there. The sandwich was good albeit hard to eat. Definitely needed a fork and knife until you could get to the point that you could pick it up. Fries were solid. read more

They're sloppy, they're messing, and their doggone delicious! That said, these cheesesteaks are better consumed with a knife and fork, instead of attempting to handle them as a traditional sandwich. My to-go order consisted of a whole Son of Hibachi, a half Whiz, and a half Bleu American Buffalo, to split among the whole family. Once home, each sandwich was section into enough portions to be shareable, so everyone could pick their preference. All of the sandwiches were well received, with the Whiz being the majority favorite, if only just: the Blue American Buffalo was right on its heels! The woman who took my order was knowledgeable, helpful and sweet. There isn't much room to dine-in here, so pretty much any order is going to be to-go, and as is the case with all cheesesteak places, it won't be particularly cheap. Still, that just means you can enjoy being fat and happy from the comfort of your own home! read more

One of the best, worth the drive. The gentleman who helped me order was courteous and helpful. The order was prompt, and very hot. The Philly was large, and delicious! Yes, it's like a neighborhood Cafe, but perfect. read more

They are not open till 8 super bummed out the only people youll find there is a bunch of homeless people wandering around the parking lot

Stopped by for the first time today, and I would say this is a pretty good spot! The service was incredible. The two ladies that helped me up front were very kind and answered my questions, while getting my order perfect. I ordered two different cheesesteaks, a burger, and some rosemary fries. The fries are good but need a bit more seasoning fresh out the fryer. We got the cheesesteaks plain so I am not going to be the best judge of the full picture but good for a plain cheesesteak. Maybe more seasoning for the steak itself would be good. The best thing by far was the burger. Very well seasoned and the Tillamook cheese complements it perfectly.. Overall, definitely will be back for that burger read more

Best place for a Philly Cheesesteak in town. Quick, yummy and the staff is great. My Togo place for a filling cheesesteak.

Always great. Cheese wiz Philly the best I've tried but the cream cheese plain Philly was really good and you have to order the cheese fries, they are always piping hot and smothered in cheese. read more

Grant's Philly Cheesesteaks - Half plain Philly with cream cheese and SMALL order of cheese fries. - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Cheese steak is amazing. They give you generous portions and it is very good. The steak and cheese fries are also amazing. Customer service is stellar and very helpful. Skip steakadelphia on Powell and go to Grants. They are so much more customer service oriented and don't take forever to get your order out. Will be going back there again, for sure read more

The portions are huge, definitely could be split or shared if you wanted to, but both items I got were flavorful. The fries were generously coated in cheese, steak, and jalapeños, and the hotdog was massive, compared to my arm. The hotdog had spice and savory flavors to it. I would definitely recommend and will be coming back to try even more. It's a very chill and welcoming place to enjoy your food. I chose to go, and the food remained hot even after a 20-minute drive. read more

Went here for lunch the other day and got the chipotle sandwich and cheese fries. I kind of cringed at the sticker shock I had for paying 30 bucks for a sandwich and cheese fries but it was a really fucking good sandwich and hands down the most authentic cheesesteak I've had outside Philly. But the spicy chipotle was a nice touch on the classic. Cheese fries were ok. Could've used a little chili. Fries are nice and crispy, so hot and fresh it was almost hard to eat before the sandwich. Overall VERY satisfied with the food, just wasn't as excited for paying the price of a large pizza for a sandwich and fries. read more

We stopped on a recommendation from a friend, we both got the cheesesteak with whiz and we split an order of fries. A lot of people are saying this place is overpriced, but small restaurants all over have raised prices, it's a tough market so I thought the 40 dollar price was more than fair for the quantity and quality. We came near closing time so there wasn't a ton of people but it was clean enough and the staff was very friendly. The sandwiches themselves were delicious! They had plenty of flavor, the meat was just right, and the bread was awesome. The fries were cooked perfectly and heavily salted ( which is a good thing ) and the fry sauce was unique and also very good. We will return again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great cheesesteak. read more

I've gotten some really good sandwiches here over the years but had not ordered in some time. I called in my order today after checking the menu on the website, https://grantsphillycheesesteaks.com/menu.html, and when I arrived to pick it up, the price was $18.65, over $5 more than the price listed on the website($13.50) for a single whole steak sandwich. When I double checked myself and showed the counter person the price on their website, the response was "Well this is the price now" I ended up leaving hungry and annoyed. No idea when the price was raised but maybe fix it on the website as well? Surely I can't be the first person to point this out to them. I guess they're lucky the shop is in Portland. If they pulled this bait and switch in South Philly they'd be out of business. read more

Grant's Philly Cheesesteaks - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Thought I'd stop by since I work close and it had some good reviews. Plus, I haven't had a Philly Cheesesteak in a long time. However, although the place is cute, I wasn't super impressed. Main gripe: it's outrageously overpriced. For 10.25, I got a half sandwich and it was pretty much the size of a hot dog. I was expecting at least something the size of a Subway sandwich cause that's what 10.25 should get you. The fries were also pretty underwhelming. Decent at first but give it 10 minutes and they're soggy. Taste of the sandwich was good, though, I'll give it that. Overall, for the cost, size of the sandwich, and the $20 I paid to get a sandwich, fries, and a drink, it's kinda nuts. I probably wouldn't visit again unfortunately. Everyone seems to love it too, not sure why. read more

Honestly all I tasted is garlic. I do love garlic but not that much. Sandwich was mediocre at best.

I've been coming here for over 10 years. It's been my go to for out of town managers coming in to Portland and I've never had a complaint.

As close to being in Philadelphia as you can get. Any time I am near this place I go by and order a classic Philly cheesesteak. It has been a long time since I lived in Philly but eating here reminds me of what I left behind. They have a place in NW district as well that I stop in regularly. And the people are great. Always a pleasure. read more

I ordered a to go order of 5 sandwiches for my family. The sandwiches were tasty but i felt like the filling was a little skimpy. I paid nearly $10 for the half size sandwich, approx 5 inches, with a little amount of meat/cheese/onion. I was surprised since I didn't see this tendency in the Yelp reviews. The only consideration I will give them is that they were busy during the lunch hour rush and this contributed to the oversight. BTW, I would've given Grant's 3 stars but my sister's vegetarian sandwich was overstuffed with grilled veggies and cheese. It was twice as heavy as the sandwiches with meat. Sooo, embrace vegetables and get the vegetarian cheesesteak when you go to Grant's. That is a sure thing for those who like that sort of thing. read more

Huge disappointment. I used to go to their other location in NW when I worked at the hospital. This place tastes nothing like those experiences. The meat was old and frozen, and the bun was soggy and wet. It barely had any cheese! We didn't get any veggies on our sandwiches other than some marinated peppers, and the woman didn't ask if we wanted any either. The fries were gross and soggy with cheap Sysco cheese ontop. My wife asked for lettuce on the side and the lettuce was rotten and inedible. For the price of 15 to 20 bucks for a cheesesteak, the quality does not come any where near where it should for the price. We would have gone to Steakadelphia today if they weren't closed. Go there if you want a real Philly. Or you can visit Grant's if you want to eat a school cafeteria cheesesteak. read more

This has been a fav of mine for sometime. In spite of the Covid, that they don't do in/dining anymore, no homemade chips - I still find their Philly Cheese sandwich to be one of the better ones in PDX. Plenty of meat, peppers, flavor and mushrooms (extra add-on ) in a soft roll is great. Now they fo wrap it up hot and the resulting steam does make the bread a little soggy if you don't get to it right away. So, take it out to your car and start eating. read more

Service was polite and friendly, made me feel welcomed. The menu was decent sized. I ordered the Grant's cheese steak.I feel the meat was under seasoned and over cooked. The pepper blend added a nice touch but could have been cooked longer, onions were lacking. Seating was minimal but adequate for the space. TVs seemed more setup for staff then guests. read more

Maybe I came in on a bad day, or maybe Portland is just used to subpar food and everyone gets high ratings. Nevertheless this is by far one of the most below average Philly cheesesteaks I've had in my 26 years of life, and the most regretful 27 dollar purchase I've ever made. Yes, you read that right...27 Whole US dollars for an underwhelming cheesesteak with a side of underwhelming fries, and a coke which was actually the highlight of the meal until I threw it at the wall out of frustration. Ok im kidding, I actually forgot to put it in the cup holder and it spilled all over the floor of my truck. I was vexed and stressed and not in the right state of mind after that first bite. I even tried dipping it in their ranch and fry sauce hoping it'd make it a little bit better. I'll be honest and say it does looks quite appetizing, but as the old saying goes; it's all about the inside that matters.. Their service was great tho, good people fr read more

Grant's Philly Cheesesteaks - Sandwiches Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I would avoid this place. Weird vibe. Cheese fries use spicy nacho cheese. Does not state in menu. Cheesesteaks fairly small and really greasy. Dude at cash register puts out strange attitude. There is better in town. Wish I didn't waste my money. read more

It actually makes me sad to write this but they've gone way downhill. Whole is $17.50 and I'm told they're going up from there. I asked why and was told food costs. Let's say they're way on the high side of $8 into each sandwich. That's an amazing margin in food service. Problem is, everything about the sandwich is subpar now. Meat is way different and has spent a lot of time in the freezer. Peppers are good but they skimp. Bread isn't the same. Less cheese. Meal doesn't include their chips anymore. I'm afraid if you all don't step it up you won't make it. I don't want to see that. Good luck! read more

I had lunch at Grant's Philly Cheesesteaks today. It was great! We entered, thinking it seemed like just another greasy spoon. Wrong! Not only was my Portland Cheese Steak delicious, but also the inside of the cafe was clean and painted a spiffy red. My friend had a green salad with chicken and it was very good too. It came with the usual mix of peppers and a homemade blue cheese dressing. Just wow! By the way, even the bathroom was spiffy and clean. I wish Grant great success! He's earning it. read more

Grant's food is EXCELLENT! If you're looking for the perfect french fry, you'll find it here. They're cut from very large potatoes, are perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and impossibly flavorful, and are not even remotely greasy. The "small" size is (as of this writing) $4.25, but it is easily enough for two people with non-gargantuan appetites to share. The cheesesteaks and delicious, and are available with all of the usual toppings such as mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc. and the requisite Cheese Whiz. You can also get provolone and Tillamook cheddar, so you have plenty of options. The staff is very small in number, but their service is prompt and as friendly as can be. The only things weighing against Grants are: 1. It is too small for the number of customers it serves. There are only a handful of parking spaces, and a few small tables inside and outside. You'll likely have to street park, and perhaps eat in your car, or at the nearby park. 2. The prices are quite high, honestly. A full sandwich is $14.25, and it isn't terribly large for that price. It is very high quality, but it still seems to be on the pricey side of things. Definitely go to Grant's if you're in the mood for an amazing sandwich and the best fries you'll find anywhere. read more

So it's been a few years since I've been out here to this one. With NW 23rd being right over the hill I've gone to it. I suddenly found myself out that way the other day and decided to stop in. As normal a very good cheese steak. I should have gotten a small but what the hell it's ok to be a pig once in a while. read more

Grants blows away the competition in Portland. Hands down. They may be a lil pricey? But you get what you pay for. Their homemade tater chips are exquisite. Their cheesesteaks with pickled peppers are beyond delicious. Mouthgasm. Geno's and Pat's in Philadelphia don't even come close to being as good. Do yourself a favor! Visit Grants!! read more

I spent $53 I got two burgers and 2 cheesesteaks all was beyond soggy. The mushrooms on the burger were still raw, the $10.50 sandwich I ordered looked like it came from 7-11 don't waste your money. A good friend told me about this place I ordered while I was out and he said it's not what it use to be. Look at the old reviews this place at one time was good. Again it's over priced for the quality and portions....I don't know how they are still in business??? GOOD LUCK!!!!!! read more

Delicious, and authentic! Amply fried onions and peppers and nice thinly sliced beef. Goopy delight!

Always a good experience at Grant's. From phone orders to pickup, to wolfing down the best cheese steak sandwiches in Portland. I've never had a bad sandwich! Not cheap, but to me, worth it. Saves me the time and airfare from flying to Philly! read more

Since moving to Oregon, I've been looking for a good cheesesteak place to try out that matched my favorite place back in California. Grant's popped up when I did a search for food close by so I decided to try it out. It's a small spot off of Sandy Blvd that doesn't really catch the eye from the road. Easy to access with good parking, for today at least. I must have hit it during a slow period as there was only one other customer present. The lady behind the counter offered a warm greeting as I checked out the menu. I opted to order the Original Philly Cheesesteak since this was a new place for me. Not much of a wait before my food was ready. I didn't time it but maybe about 5 minutes, if that. I love that even if you don't order a side you still get a bag of their housemade potato chips with the purchase of a sandwich. Total came to $14.95 for a whole sandwich. Food was delicious and still warm after the drive back home. I love that they use the hot & sweet peppers over bellpeppers. It just seems to add a bit more flavor. And the bread was wonderfully fresh and soft. Grant's was just what I've been looking for!! Great customer service, and great food. I will definitely be back. read more
