It's been a while since I've had monkey sub, but man the quality and service sure has changed in a negative way. I remember the deli staff were cool folks, they would blast 90s hiphop music and made bomb arse subs. Today I had their sub and it was dissapointing, it looked like a 5 year old made it, it was a mess. I'll still give them a 3 because I'm hoping the owner will read this and straighten things out. read more

They don't skimp on the meat. It's a solid sub sandwich. The owner is a nice guy that's involved in the community, and he hires the local high school kids to work there. read more

Always the best. Their food is super fresh and always tastes amazing! This place is better than any sub shop and that includes jimmy johns. I would recommend this place. The service is always great! read more

Super yummy subs! I love that they slice it thin and fresh right there as you wait, and have some fun names for their different sandwiches. I was a little sad that they had less veggie options, but not surprised as it has an air of "This is a place where we make MAN subs. Men don't need a bunch of frou-frou veggie options." It's all about the meat and cheese here folks. They have a drink and chips meal combo but are a little pricey. As for this being a "hole-in-the-wall" joint is certainly true. It just says "Sub Shop" outside.I'm sure the line frequently goes out the door at lunch hour as there's not a lot of standing room. I was amazed to find out, upon chatting a bit with the owner, that they show up there at 4am to make HUNDREDS of subs for local schools. Kudos to the crew at Monkey Subs! read more

I was taken to Monkey Subs by a Client during her kitchen remodel (I am her designer) and I WAS TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!! I am an old school "TOGO's" girl from California and I have not been impressed by the "Subway" craze - yuck!! If you want fresh bread and your deli meat sliced wafer thin to order, then this is your place. I enjoyed the pastrami and provolone and I have been back several times since (each time taking a newbie with me!!) Yes it is a small (no indoor seats), hard to find (next to Miller Paint off Farmington Rd and 185th, in the Albertson's parking lot), and you will probably have to stand in a line outside before you order - IT IS SO WORTH YOUR TIME - Delicious!! read more

A co-worker introduced me to Monkey's a year or so ago. The weather was pleasant outside, and it was one of the first nice days of the year. We ate outside and in general, enjoyed the weather. I remember thinking that the sub was impressive, but not memorable. My opinion's changed. I've eaten a sandwich from Monkey's 3 times in the past 2 weeks. The "Monkey Wrench" is the sandwich to get, in my opinion. I've also had the "Banana Boat", which is essentially the Monkey Wrench minus a few meats and 2 (I think) types of cheese. Get the Monkey Wrench. You won't be disappointed. I've found the employees to be friendly and engaging. Yes, the shop's small and there's no seating inside to speak of. What they lack in accommodations they make up for with their food. It's that good. read more

I took my lunch to come to this sub place, due to the owner coming into my work and promoting his new location. This place is HORRIBLE!!!! I am about to report them to the health inspector. I had ordered two hot subs and they took both subs in their wraps and place them in the MICROWAVE!!!! and called it a "HOT SUB"!!!! The subs were super nasty, the bread was soggy and the flavor was not good. I was very disappointed and pissed that this location is using that method. To top it all off they forgot to give me my chips. They charge too much money for this method to be used!!!! I didn't even want to give them one star, but I had too!!!!! read more

Best Place ever! thanks to all the reviews that led us to this place. truly is a hidden treasure. Customer service is amazing personal and makes you feel apart of the family. We had the Monkey wrench the first time we came and blew our socks off. The S word is no longer in our vocabulary. Next we had the french dip supreme it is a must!! soooo good. they make they're own break, bacon and roast beef. its the best at what it does!!. SO proud to be a monkey sub supporter 8) read more

This is the best sub shop that I've found in Washington County. It's a hidden gem tucked away in a nondescript strip mall in Aloha. Don't look for a Monkey Subs sign - it simply says Sub Shop. Everyone knows that the marker of great sub sandwich is the quality of the bread. Their bread is fresh-baked (they get it from another bakery) and is delicious. This is the first sub shop that I've been to where I actually think that the wheat bread tastes better than the white bread. All of the meats are carved to order (like they should be), the vegetables are fresh and the cheese is of deli quality. They have no seating inside (standing room only) but they will set out a couple of tables outside when the weather is nice. If it's a nice day, I'd take the subs to a nearby park like The Jenkins Estate anyways. Monkey Subs does just one thing - but they sure do it well. read more

Perhaps my expectations were a bit high from reading reviews for Monkey Subs. I've heard people compare them to Beaverton Sub Shop and Geraldi's. I don't get it! The sandwich was better than anything at Subway, to be sure, but that's not saying much. I can do better, much better, at home. The meat portion was average. The sandwich was average. It's a takeout place most days with no seats inside, so there's that - unusual for a sub shop. If "beats Subway" is a goal, then Monkey succeeded. If being the best is an aim, they missed the mark by my calculation. read more

Probably the best sub in the area! First off, don't get confused by the name: It says 'sub shop' out front but the official name is 'Monkey subs'. The only indicator of that is a carved wooden monkey inside. And outside of some crayoned pictures inside from the local middle school, that's pretty much ALL that's inside here besides a meat slicer, a cooler and the dude behind the counter. The Monkey Wrench is a solid move every time. But the roast beef...oh shit its like beef porn! They roast it up right there, and when shaved its all pink and juicy inside...a lot like a prime rib sandwich, actually. All irony with the taste of fresh delicious damn near still mooing cow.... ...sorry I had to take a cold shower! Only complaint is theyre missing a good pepper relish. Yes, they have jalapenos and pepperoncini but what they REALLY need is a good red cherry pepper relish, a-la Jersey Mikes. read more

Used to be amazing. However, the quality and consistency has dropped considerably. You definitely do not get the large amount of meat that you used too , even though the prices have increased significantly. Such a disappointment. read more

Monkey's is what a sub shop should be! My family and I have been coming here for 8 years, and there is no better sandwich around. I will drive some distance for a great sandwich, and this is hands down the best place in the Portland Metro area. Everything is fresh, and the meat is cut right in front of you. On top of the product, go in there a few times and they remember you by first name, and remember your order as well. To top it off, the owner is very involved with the local community and youth sports. A great small business! read more

Without a doubt, the best sub you'll find in the west-side suburbs. (Definitely better than Beaverton Sub Station) Food: 4 stars Price: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Setting: 2 stars Oh yeah. SO excited to find somewhere in the Beaverton area worth telling people about. The meat selection is great. All the cuts are very high quality and always cut to order. This place is so much more than it's first impressions. These guys obviously love and know a damn good sando. 2 kinds of bread - both freshly baked. The white is crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The wheat is a little more hearty but not overly so that it distracts from the wonderful toppings. My buddy Dusty E. had the white and said it was a little too sourdoughy for him. Great selection of fresh toppings. Avocados are all green (no dark spots), soft, and delicious. Vegies were crunchy and flavorful. I like the oil and vinegar on top but something with a bit more flavor would have been nice. Service was great. She was fast and very friendly. The Setting got knocked down a few stars because it's pretty tight inside and the only seating is a couple of metal chairs outside. read more

Monkey's is an awesome sub shop in the Farmington Plaza strip mall at the corner of SW 185th Ave. and SW Farmington Rd. in Aloha. You can build your own sub or choose from 11 specialty subs, 3 hot subs and 5 basic old school subs; each under $10 for a full (whole) sandwich which can easily feed two hungry adults! My all-time favorite is the Barrel O' Monkey's, one of their specialty subs. Provolone, cheddar, ham, cotto salami, pepperoni, pastrami and salami on a white or wheat roll with your choice of mayo, mustard, tomato, lettuce, onion, oil and vinegar. The subs are offered in full or half sizes. 4 ft. and 6 ft. party subs are also available. A combo meal with a large drink and chips or potato salad is an additional $2.50. They also have mini meal deals for the kids; a 1/3 old school sub with a small drink and chips for under 4 bucks. The carved-to-order meats and the fresh-baked bread can't be beat! Much better than any chain sub shop, hands down. They are now open Monday to Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m...you can get your Monkey on 7 days a week! 4.5 stars rounded to 5. No inside seating, take out only. When the weather is nice, they sometimes have outdoor seating. read more

Two words:: HOLY CRAP! Monkey's is the best sub shop in town. Their bread (and everything else) is fresh, every day. The staff at Monkeys is friendly, professional, and fun to work with. I will forever be a customer! read more

Agree with most all the reviews here, place is amazing. Great Bread, great toppings, great prices; HUGE SUBS!!! The only place that rivals it is Beaverton Sub Station. read more

just about as good as expected! they cut the meat right there fresh for your sandwich which i was actually kind of surprised by. my bacon was also surprisingly crispy! my only qualms were i asked for extra mayo and to add avocado, both of which i had to go back into the store for. no big deal service was friendly enough. i also noticed on my SO's philly dip that there was not a lot of meat going on, and that the onions and peppers are raw, not caramelized as you'd expect on a philly. but overall fine experience! read more

He deserves to be the first and ONLY member of the sandwich Hall of Fame because no one has the skills that he has. read more

This is by far one of the greatest sandwich places in Oregon. The first time I heard about Monkey's was from a co-worker who proclaimed this to be the best sandwiches period. He loved them so much he'd drive from far NE Portland all the way down to Aloha. I figured if it was good enough to endure a 40+ min drive both ways it had to be OK. The first time I went to Monkeys, I knew I could never eat another sandwich from anywhere else again. I was hooked. Everything, including the warm greetings from the owner Vic (who's very supportive of the local community) and Rich (who always provides an incredible experience) makes Monkeys a must for sandwiches. If you go there enough you may earn a spot on the wall. read more

So, with much anticipation, I made the trek to Monkey Subs for the very first time. It took me a bit to find the place as there is only a small sign above the door that reads 'Sub Shop'. The place is a very small ' hole in the wall' type place with no indoor seating. Actually, if you have five or more people in line, the place is very crowded. There are two tables and chairs outside... Definitely a take out place. The subs are generous and delicious! I had the Monkey Wrench. Fresh bread and meats that are piled high. I believe the owner was making the subs and seemed to be a likable guy. I regrettably take away one star as there was some confusion on an order before me and a sub had to be remade. Also, they ran out of white sub rolls and had to deal with that on a previous order before getting to mine( it WAS Sunday afternoon, so I get it). However, that said, I had to sit there for 15-20 minutes to get my sub. Needless to say, the sub was so delicious that I will certainly go back any time I am in the area!! read more

The bread here is wonderful. The meat is carved to order, and the veggies are all fresh and crispy. So why only 4 stars you ask? Because the service is bad. It's fast but the guys need to take some lessons on customer service. Very rude workers! I always go for the pastrami or BMT. They're so good that I've never tried anything else. But really, they need to work on their attitudes. read more

This was my fist time here. Usually when I visit a sub shop for the first time I order a B.L.T because of it's simplicity and since it is so simple it should be outstanding. The bread is nothing special a little hard, Most of the lettuce had brown spots, the only bright spot was the bacon which was not plentiful as the menu stated but was good. The only thing I enjoyed here was the music. $9.50 for a full size sub is a little much definitely not 4 stars. Sorry monkey but you Need to step up your game. read more

Gone here for years and love!!! They're quick and food is always fresh. The employees are very friendly.

I had a Monky Wrench today from Monkey Sub's. I have been here a few times. They do normally pile on the toppings, but today they were very skimpy. The one thing that I wish would improve here the most is the bread, it's always so dry. I keep giving this place another chance because it's locate to where I live and I love the vibe in this place. Come on Monkey Subs, improve the dry stale bread please! read more

This is basically the voodoo donuts of sub shops, except you don't have all the stoners and hipsters and eclectic wall art--ok, they are nothing alike except both are the best in the class in PDX area. Monkey's also provides subs at my daughter's school for school lunch......she calls the big bald guy the "Monkey man". I've thought about showing up at her school and buying a lunch ticket. Barrel of monkeys is one heck of a sandwich if you are looking for a recommendation for a "man meal"....not some little sub-slider with 3 slices of meat like you'd get at subway. read more

Been coming here since they opened and I love their sammiches! Always quality and the bread is consistenly soft and tasty unlike some chain sub shops like jimmy johns. At Monkeys you always know what youre getting which is a good quality monster of a sub that is worth every penny! Staff is always friendly and the cool laid back atmosphere is very welcoming. I notice someone complained they forgot her chips...well the chips are on a shelf for the customer to pick up so looks like she may have been the forgetful one. read more

Simple and to the point, this sub shop really delivers. Ingredients are fresh, bread is soft and tasty, service is fast. I get the turkey and salami. They use plenty of mayo, always a plus in my book, and season with salt and pepper. I know that sounds simple, but a little basic seasoning elevates a blah sub into one I'll buy again. Definitely small and unassuming, but on a recent visit at 2:30 on a Thursday traffic was at a steady stream as I sat outside eating my sub. Nothing fancy. Give me good meats, cheeses, veggies and bread, simply seasoned any day over gourmet anything. So glad I found this bright spot in an otherwise somewhat bleak Aloha strip mall. read more

Great service and really delicious sandwiches. This is our new go-to spot when the sandwich craving hits us. read more

Great place to eat if you like soggy sandwiches. Very disappointed, expected more from a $12 sandwich. Won't be returning.

Had the monkey wrench. It was good, just not $11.50 good. No chips or drink. It would have to be hands down the best sub I've ever tasted for me to pay that much for a sandwich, and it just wasn't. :/ read more

This is where it's at! Fresh bread, Fresh sliced meats and cheeses...YUM! My only complaint would be that it is a little pricey BUT SO WORTH IT! read more

Amazing sandwiches, I've been going here for quite a while now. They have fresh bread and ingredients every time I get a sandwich. The people are friendly and courteous, I mean what more can you ask for. If you've never tried this place then your doing yourself a huge disservice. read more

Monkey's Subs - Newest menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

I've been coming here for years, really love this place. They know my name, my order, and it's always delicious. Service is fast and friendly. What I really like, is they have good fresh wheat bread, and quality meat. I have some allergy issues with preservatives, that I've experienced at other sandwich shops, but no problem here. I LOVE their French dip on wheat. So yummy! read more

I drove 40 minutes out of my way to try their subs. I like the vibe and good attitudes from employees. I like it when businesses have happy employees. It often translates into good service and results. The sammy was alright. I would like to see a more dense loaf for all the toppings but the deli meats were decent and the veggies fresh. Decent portions and would go back again read more

Delicious sandwiches at a great price. Definitely making this my go-to spot for subs. As for people complaining they get stuff from Albertsons- who cares?! It's all shipped in from the same food distributors anyway. Where do you think restaurants and grocery stores get their food? It literally all comes from one or two distributors in the area...obviously those people have never worked in a restaurant so don't understand how food gets shipped out and distributed. The only thing that matters is if their food tastes good. It does. read more

I love the novelty of this place. From outside you wouldn't look at it twice - in fact, it's sign reads "Sub Shop" and until going inside I did not know that the place had a real name. It must be the only place in the area where you can watch the meats and cheeses on your sandwiches be sliced right before your eyes. The guys that work in the store are wonderfully friendly and laid back. This is sandwich + charisma right here. It certainly isn't the best sandwich I've had in my life, but it is a swell place to visit and get a bite to eat. read more

I visited Monkey's for the first time yesterday due to all the good stuff Yelpers have written about it. I was sort of in the area, so I figured it was a good time. They were blaring The Immaculate Collection from Madonna on outdoor speakers SO loud that I immediately respected them. I kind of hoped that it has bothered passing squares. I automatically got a "we do what we do, and if you don't like it, screw yourself!" attitude from that, and the fact that "verbal abuse" is listed in their sandwich ingredients. I like a place with attitude! You don't get a sense of muted bureaucratic BS at Monkey's! (End soap box) Now to the sandwich. It was simple, and good. I asked for no mustard; they put it on there anyway, but no big deal. The menu had nothing special, nothing elaborate. I got a turkey sub. Everything was "pretty good". I have definitely had better sandwiches, but not really in the Portland metro area. I will definitely go back at some point, because I want to try their turkey bacon avocado. I love sandwiches, and have tried desperately to find a good place I can abuse with my patronage, but to little avail.I hate to say this...because I love small businesses, but I think the made-to-order deli sandwiches at Safeway Tanasbourne might exceed the quality at Monkey's(so far), and they don't use iceberg lettuce. I feel lame for putting this in my review, but I'm desperate: If anyone knows of any really exceptional places to get a sandwich, I'd love to hear about it. Nothing fancy, please. My favorite sandwich joint is still a hole in the wall Italian place in Southern California. read more

Great local sub shop. The meat and cheese were cut fresh for the sub. Creative names and good service. read more

Speedy service and outstanding flavor. Not much for seating but the sandwich is worth the wait if seating is not available.
