Amazing food! Amazing service! Amazing ambiance! I am glad I happened to stop by and I'll continue to come back over and over again! The subs are high quality and just feel very healthy and homemade. It seems like that the quality of bread, veggies, and meat is very high and delicious. I've lived in LA and SF, but I have never seen the price this affordable and delicious. I got the Italiano Sub and the Grilled Vegetable Panini. All were impeccable and had generous portion sizes. The workers are amazing and gentle as well (good looking as well!)! I'll be back!! read more

See all

Everything I've tried here has been great. Everything tastes very fresh and the prices are very reasonable. My only complaint is they aren't open very late. read more

I'm a sandwich artist at home......I compete with their sandwiches though . Perfect balance of toppings and ingredients. Tomato was perfect (not to wet, or dry/hard) Bread was definitely fresh. The final touches on the beautiful wrapping and presentation took the cake for me read more

Mocks Bottom Cafe - Basic turkey with lettuce tomato and onion. - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Just a 100% great place to grab some really good eats ! And the owner is cute too- definitely make this a required stop anytime I'm in town! read more

Why do the sandwich's taste like meat bricks? The actual worst lunch meat I've ever had. Slimy and nasty. Stop using this cheap meat and charging max prices. Find some Boar's Head and put it in them sandwiches for those prices. read more

straightforward, no frills cafeteria with legit sandwiches. I work on Swan Island, so it's handy to grab lunch here during the weekday. Prices are a little on the higher end for what you get -but they are well made. Seems like an honest, mom and pop business. Dagwood is a favorite and I recently had their Reuben. It was hot, gooey and melty, but stayed intact while eating during an awkward meeting with my bosses boss. I also tried their Baked Potato Soup to go with the Reuben - really nice soup, plain and simple. Complimentary crackers added. $7-8 bucks a sandwich. Fountain sodas. Close at 3pm I think. Hidden away in an Industrial Park. read more

I work fairly close to Mocks Bottom and boy am I glad I am. I always call my order ahead and they always have my lunch ready in under 10 minutes!! So far I've had the pastrami and swizz as well as the pot stickers, and both are extremely fresh! Would 100% recommend! read more

Mocks Bottom Cafe - Pastrami and Swiss - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great little cafe on Swan Island. It's a little deeper in the island but well worth the little drive. The service is super fast and friendly. They offer a lot of different items from sandwiches to teriyaki. I can say that all of their offerings that I have had are super solid. The line can get a little long at times but they are quick to get you fed and back to work! I highly recommend this place for anyone on lunch on Swan. read more

Mocks is always consistent and quick to get you out the door for lunch. They've yet to make me a sandwich that wasn't exactly as expected and it's always fresh! Owners and employees are always kind and serve you with a smile. read more

Great deli for lunch! Very fresh sandwiches, paninis, salads, breakfast burritos, chicken teriyaki, etc. nice people and prompt service. Quick turn around on your food order... I never have to wait more than a few minutes. Their grilled turkey, bacon, cheese with avocado on sourdough is the BOMB! read more

Mocks Bottom Cafe - Grilled Turkey Bacon Cheese and Avocado on Sourdough - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I work on swan island and this is my favorite spot to eat at. Fast and friendly every time!

Great service! Fast, inexpensive, consistent, and decent food. I order online and my work is a 3-min walk away so it's super convenient for me. Also online there's a space for special requests and they're always able to accommodate my requests and go above my expectations. Example: I had asked for less chicken/cheese in my salad because the first time I ordered it, I got too much chicken in my salad. So second time ordering it, I requested "light on chicken and cheese please I just love veggies" and so they gave me less chicken and cheese but also gave me extra veggies not usually included in the caesar salad (cucumber, tomato, avocado, spinach)! To me, that's beyond what a cafe should do. (Again, wrote this in the comments/requests section on the payment page). Anyway - great place for those who work close by. If you're coming from off Swan Island for this place... You may be disappointed? Hope they can have more vegetarian/vegan options in the future! read more

If you haven't tried their food in the last year, give them another try. There are new owners and the interior has been remodeled. If you go to their website, you can even order food online and have it delivered (on Swan Island) for free. read more

Mocks Bottom Cafe - Asian Chicken Salad - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Yet another absolute banger of a lunch! Grilled pastrami & swiss sandwich, cucumber salad just like my Mom used to make, potstickers with a wonderful dipping sauce, (that, although I don't eat spicy food, I put up with the burn because it's so good!), and a brownie big enough for 2 (not that I'm going to share, mind you!) Quick service, great prices, and consistent quality. You really have to try it! read more

Very friendly and helpful staff, seems like a mom and pop shop. I had the macaroni salad and the mocks club sandwich and it was very good for the price. The interior is nice and clean and I got my food quickly. Very convenient if you're in a hurry and need a bite. read more

Very fast service like others mentioned. I can't say the food quality is all that great but if you work or frequently travel to the island this is a nice easy spot to grab some grub. They do boxed lunches and have a myriad of food selections but nothing really stands out. I go there mostly for the convenience. The last time I came here I ordered a meatball parmagiana sandwich. They asked if I wanted onions, and I said "of course!". Sandwich tasted good but the onions were raw. That was a bit of a downer, I was expecting some nice cooked onions but that's not the reason for the 3 stars. That's because there isn't anything special about the place. read more

For some reason my previous review got filtered which makes me mad as this gem of a café deserves some good reviews. I really like the sandwiches on the delicious rosemary focaccia bread. Its homemade on site and went really well with the chicken parmesan. The people are nice and the place is very clean. Definitely recommended. read more

Great little deli down on swan island. Staff is very nice and they have a wide variety of food at decent prices. I have yet to try something I didn't like. I would highly recommend the Dagwood but easy on the mustard. read more

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile, and against advice from coworkers, I decided to give it a shot today. BIG MISTAKE. I have never felt less welcome at a business than I did today. The lady behind the counter was friendly enough, and the food was decent, but the man working (I'm assuming a manager or an owner) was very rude. We came to eat before the lunch rush, and there was only a couple of us dining at the time which made it a perfect opportunity for the man to wipe down the tables. Only when he got to our table and we were busy eating, he was unable to wipe it down--he stared at us awkwardly and sighed as he walked away. Then, after finishing our meal, we bussed our own table (which I assumed was the norm), but I was quickly told by the man, as he ran out from the back, that I wasn't doing it correctly and "next time" I should use a different, larger garbage can. I told him I was sorry about the mistake, but not to worry, there won't be a "next time". He followed us out the door and watched us leave. This is NOT the way you run a business, and definitely not the way you spread "positive word of mouth" around the island. I won't be returning. And I will tell my friends not to either. read more

Lunch for under 6 bucks. But its not like the value deal at fast food places. Mocks is amazing at putting together quality food for a good price. It's like mom making tasty healthy food and just the right serving size. I eat there several times a week because of the variety. Panini on focaccia they bake themselves, complete cold and hot sandwich selection, and several varieties of teriykai. They also have meal and side salads ready to grab and go. Breakfast, espresso, and house coffee, always good. Heck yeah, of course I recommend this place. Courteous and friendly staff too. read more

Mocks Bottom is my favorite place to eat on swan island. There is a wide range of menu options for both breakfast and lunch. Their prices make it affordable to eat there every day, and the service is always exceptional. This is the place to go for anyone looking for a quick delicious meal on swan island. My recommendations: Sausage Breakfast burrito & Meatball Sub read more

Two words: TACO SALAD. My only complaint is that this place has been hidden from me for the past three years I've been working nearby. Seriously, their taco salad is divine (and filling)! read more

Mocks Bottom Cafe - just look at this mouthwatering piece of art. - American Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I would only eat at this place if I was starving. The local business employees seem to like it though it may be because of the proximity and isolation. It's the only food place nearby so I guess it's convenient. The sandwiches are made of boring cheap white bread with usual ingredients, nothing special. You can probably make a better sandwich at home. Salads are just plain lettuce and a bottled dressing. The hot sandwiches are the cold ones put on a greasy griddle. They also make some other foods like Chinese or other Asian hot dishes and have soups. I haven't tried any of it because it just didn't look appetizing. read more

Small local Deli on Swan Island that has a friendly staff, is clean and has good food. Everything is made to order and fairly quick especially if you order and pay online. The Dagwood club is my favorite but there are many meals that are good too. The teriyaki chicken and/or beef with white and brown rice and cabbage is filling, the wraps, the taco salad, pot stickers and many other choices are good, and the breakfasts great. read more

I feel that this place gets all of its business based on its location. Here on swan island we can be isolated for a quick lunch. They do offer a good breakfast, but their lunch is just deli meat on bread. Almost everything if not the entire menu you can order here is pre-made. Our office eats here occasionally just because it is so close and other places are far in comparison, but if you have the choice I would shy away from this place. Even if it is quick and convenient it is not going to be comparable to anywhere else. They do have good customer service and hot breakfast items. I feel that if they offered a better menu and lower prices people would visit the place more frequently. read more

Mocks is one of the only places to eat on Swan Island and we use them to cater last minute lunches often. The food is always good and fresh, the building is clean and the staff is very friendly. If you haven't been in a while give them another try, I believe they went under new ownership a few years ago. read more

Great experience and environment, the cafe was very clean and the workers were friendly. I got the taco salad and it was phenomenal. The prices are fair and the quality is very good. read more

Wow. Just amazingly bad. They use deli meat for everything. I ordered a wrap and my friend ordered the Teriyaki chicken. The wrap was just plain horrible, like the kind of "food" you are served on a cheap red-eye flight. The chicken Teriyaki though, that is where this place really shined. They took a chunk of deli meat, you know the kind you slice with a slicer? Well they cut it into strips to resemble the way a normal chicken breast would look cut into strips then made the Teriyaki dish out of that. It was so unbelievably shoddy we both tried it and just couldn't get over it. It was like a salt lick covered in brown salt sauce. I would never go back here, not even as a joke - which this place is. read more

Sooooooo disappointed. After pondering where to eat lunch I chose this place for a French Dip Sandwich. How can you go wrong with that? VERY minimal roast beef, no cheese, and for $6.00 no pickle, a few chips or nothing. Would have rather eaten at Subway and that's not saying much. read more

Always get the Dagwood with light Mayo. Very friendly and close to work. Nice place to unwind for lunch!!
