I love the name of this place! It reminds of the arcade game of the same name from the 1980's. I…read moreloved that game! I don't know if it's a reference or not but it's cool nonetheless. I was in Portland to check out some breweries and later had a concert further north in Ridgefield. Double Dragon came up and it was not far where I was wrapping up from my previous stop. Upon a arrival I instantly loved the atmosphere here. I saw that they had a Banh Mi sandwich and that sounded great! I do love those sandwiches very much! It didn't disappoint in the slightest and the ingredients were so very fresh and flavorful! You have a choice of meat and I got the Pork Belly as that is usually what I want with this particular sandwich. The meat was so tender and I gobbled that sandwich down! I knew I would want a side ao I ordered French Fries as well. They were very good too! Nice and crisp with a soft center. They had a lot of different kinds of cocktails that looked quite good but I passed on them because I was waiting to have my cocktail at the show in Ridgefield... which I did! But another opportunity to come here I'd totally explore that cocktail menu!

Seriously one of my fav burger spots in PDX that I came here more than once! I'm a sucker for smash burgers so this place definitely hits the spot for me. Honestly after trying their peanut butter bacon burger here, it really got me more into sweet/savory dishes. I like how it's made to order and the crispy crust of the patty brings it together. The waffle fries are seasoned well and has a good crunch to it. Definitely recommend for your next burger craving!

My son wanted a non-fast food burger. I offered fancy and everything in between. He decided on…read morePleasure Burger. Walking up to the business, there were at least 9 people, in a few different clumps, outside. I didn't know if they'd eaten, or were waiting. It ends up they were looking for another place to eat - not because of the quality of food, but instead the lack of adequate seating, and especially for larger groups. Ordering is at the front counter. One of the first things I want to make sure I say, is that all the employees were incredibly kind and patient. It's all crazy manic orders and trying to deliver them and deal with the turnover, but you wouldn't know that from how they treated us. The burger my son got was good. Not fantastic, but certainly tasty. The waffle fries? Insanely good. So good that my son and I turned to each other with wide eyes after our first bite.

I stopped by with some buddies before heading to the airport on a Sunday morning. You just tell…read morethis place must be a lively place to grab a burger in the evening. They have plenty of seating inside and the bar area looks like a small dive bar venue. The cashiers and servers were cool and helpful. The burgers were amazing! We all enjoyed our meals. My only regret is not ordering the onion rings. My buddy let me try his and it was SO good. And if you're feeling saucy, they have plenty of options for you to try. So grab a beer, burger, fries and plenty of sauces and I'm sure you'll love it as much as we did.

This was an incredible introduction to the Portland food scene, delivering some of the best…read moresandwiches I've ever had. Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.

Lunch from Lardo! My manager is a huge fan of Lardo and asked us to get our meal from here. The…read morefood was good! We got our meal delivered, so I can't speak much for the ambiance. Though, our food was made quickly and packed with care. Portions seemed good for the pricing! My manager and I got a variety of food to share. We ordered the Korean Pork Shoulder, Beeria Grilled Cheese, Lardo Fries, Hush Puppies, and Tater Tots. My pork shoulder sandwich was divine! The bread got pretty soggy, but there was a decent amount of tender, seasoned meat. The kimchi added spice and texture; I'd recommend it. The fries and tots were fine, nothing special in my opinion. The fries weren't too crispy, but the tots were. I enjoyed the hush puppies and found them pretty dense. My manager enjoyed her sandwich. If you're a sandwich lover, then I recommend trying Lardo. I can see why they're popular! Find them off SE Hawthorne Street.

I think this is going to become my new favorite BBQ spot…read more We placed our order at the counter with a friendly server. Once everything is ready they call out your name or number to pick it up. Everything we ordered here was delicious! Every meat option was "cooked" soooo good with amazing flavor, tenderness, and just overall yumminess. For sides we went with the Mac & cheese and brisket chili. The chili was good but I LOVED the Mac & cheese. We also had to try a burnt ends sandwich with Mac & cheese piled on it. It was amazing! Of course it's a little on the spendy side for a meal but it's a platter of MEAT so be ready to spend a little more than usual. There is a full bar but we didn't indulge this visit. Our only gripe was about the parking. We're are definitely not regular visitors to the downtown area so we don't have the different apps loaded or websites ready to pay for street parking around Portland. I feel old saying it but I wish there were still meters or little ticket machines available for these type of short visits to the area. That won't stop us from coming back here for another meal... or 5... though. Give this place a try! It's all delicious!

After being on my list for over a year, I finally got to try Lawless. Unfortunately, it puts…read morePortland BBQ back into the category that I declared long ago as just tolerable in the sense that I am from the South and have had better meals out of a Styrofoam box than I have had in Portlands sad attempts of trying to upscale food that needs to be cooked with Soul! I'm not surprised... just disappointed that aside from one wayward, inexplicable New Yorker... this town has yet to produce one Pit Master! The food was tender but was just ok. It had flavor but not enough of the right flavor. The ribs fell off the bone a little too easily and had such a light smoke that they could have easily just been roasted in an oven. Considering they came pre-sauced in a sickeningly sweet Dr. PEPPERESQUE BBQ Sauce...I feel like they are trying to cover up the tasteless of the meat. No bark. No Smoke ring... just copious amounts of sauce! That's a huge Red Flag with BBQ! Truly great BBQ requires no sauce and any self respecting Pit man will not serve it that way. It issues always to be served on the side... let me decide if I like the taste of your meat or if I need it to cover up the lack of flavor. Thankfully, they make that decision for you here at Lawless so you don't get bland meat...unless you get the pulled pork sandwich...meat piled high is nice but like the ribs, no coloring to denote the meat ever touched a smoker. Instead a vinegar slaw and mustard dressing and no sauce. I must have missed the description on the menu describing it as a Carolina approach... I'm just used to having a choice when it comes to a basic pulled pork sandwich. I've lived in Portland long enough not to trust BBQ here... but I had a momentary weakness... one that will now be corrected by me cranking up my own smoker and smoking my own ribs and pork butt... BBQ flavored with salt, pepper, and smoke. No Sauce needed! Oh... and the greens... tasted liked someone in culinary school made them... tough and leafy...minimal flavor to the Pot Likker! And bacon? Everyone knows you don't use bacon to make your greens! It dries out from the long cook time and gets gritty! I really hope whomever runs this place ain't Southern... they granny rolling over in her grave! If you're a lifelong Portlander... or from Iowa... eat here...it is close enough. But if you have a list of your top five BBQ meals of all time in your head... only eat here if you can't make it yourself and you are really missing home. That was me today... unfortunately, I think I left sadder than when I arrived.
