I had high hopes for Porterhouse after hearing several recommendations, and I genuinely appreciate their focus on sourcing locally. Unfortunately, our experience was pretty disappointing overall. We ordered three sandwiches to and only one -- the meatloaf sandwich -- was decent. My husband ordered the Kansas City brisket sandwich, and unfortunately ours came with just a few very thick-cut pieces of brisket that weren't very appetizing. Based on other photos/reviews, it may have been an off day, but the flavor and texture in the sandwich we received were disappointing. I ordered the Reuben, and the bread-to-meat ratio was way off (photo attached). It was mostly bread with very little filling, especially for a ~$14 sandwich. The sides were okay, but the portions overall felt pretty minimal given the pricing. I always want to support local restaurants, especially ones prioritizing local ingredients, so this was a letdown. Based on this visit, I wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

The best sandwiches here are absolutely the hot sandwiches -- specifically the Southwesterner. If you want to try their smoked tri-tip, this is the move. Every single time I order it, I tell myself, "Okay, I'll just eat half." And every single time I fail because somehow the combination of their soft toasted bun, smoky tri-tip, salsa, and just the right amount of messiness makes you question why other sandwich places even exist. What really makes this place special though is that it still feels like an actual neighborhood butcher/deli. Hayley, the owner, is often behind the counter and genuinely knows the names and faces of regulars because there are THAT many repeat customers. They're also one of the best places around for holiday meats. Pro tip: order early for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Another great tip I got from one of their butchers was to pick your order up two days before you need it instead of fighting the crowds the day before. They've already allocated your order, so it's the exact same quality -- but way less stress and waiting. And honestly? Their holiday sides deserve their own review. When the red skin mashed potatoes come out for the holidays, I genuinely wonder why anyone makes mashed potatoes from scratch anymore. And the gravy? Dangerous. I literally order extra every year and freeze it in portions because it's too good to only eat once during the holidays. read more

BEST; Customer service! Meat quality! Local ALWAYS...ALWAYS...rotating marinated meats, chicken in the refrigerator display. Check out the freezer section; we buy our Italian sausage, lamb, various sausage packages, oh....quart of soups made fresh daily. Great quality bacon also. Fish selection is very good too but depends on seasonal. Ham hocks for your crockpot split pea soups. We make that and others. Sandwich selection made fresh to your taste. Local bread sold on shelf just as you enter. Christmas time they offer a seasoned prime rib. Pick the size. Quite a few sold each year. It's the best we've ever had. This is where we purchase all our meat. Quality meat will make your pastas and lasagna a five star. I'm a boomer 5 star chef!! Three year customer here. read more

Service: outstanding Food: it was delicious. Wish my bread on the gobbler would've been toasted but they recommended that next time I try it grilled. Like a panini style sandwich. Can't wait for next time. The Kansas City brisket : bread and bbq sauce: outstanding. The meat could've been a bit better but still a solid sandwich. read more

Enjoyed a lunch on a Friday. It was a busy hour and the line was to the door. Ordered a half Italian sandwich and chicken noodle soup. Both were fresh and delicious. Such a nice deli to grab a bite and eat in the patio area when the weather is nice. Parking was a challenge, but now I understand why, the food is great. read more

Wow! Great sandwiches were enjoyed here. It was such a great location and the menu comprehensive. We wish we were able to purchase some of their vast fresh meat selections. We definitely will when we return. Note: the side dishes offered with the sandwiches were also outstanding! You can take out larger quantities too. The store offers catering as well. read more

The sandwich was a 4 for taste but within a 1/2 hour I had a major stomach ache for the rest of the afternoon. The staff was pretty slow getting our order out. I have never seen so many employees in one place that are not outgoing or friendly and do not smile. read more

This was a miss for me! My husband and I found this place on Yelp after hiking the Greenbelt nearby. I was excited to see a Rueben on the menu made with pastrami since I don't care for corn beef. This isn't the classics Rueben with sauerkraut. They use a grainy mustard instead. That was the miss for me. The mustard was off putting and the pastrami was gristly and tough. My husband ordered the turkey sandwich (gobbler) and it was just okay (I took a bite). Another disappointing thing is that this place doesn't provide bathrooms. You actually have to go to the Chevron across the parking lot. On a positive note the service was friendly and the location is nice (no Riverside seating like was mentioned but this little shopping center is charming and close to the Greenbelt. Still for us it's a one and done. :( read more

They have great meat. I've never been disappointed. Great service. I really enjoy their Reuben sandwich also. My husband and I split it.

Absolutely the best meatloaf sandwich on sourdough bread I've ever tasted!! With sun dried tomatoes tooooooo level ALL THE WAY UP!

Best butcher in Eagle and surrounding area. Good selection of beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and others. They also have a deli with great prepared food. Called and ordered six pounds of hangar steak for a birthday bbq dinner. Meat and cut was excellent. With my special marinade, came out delicious. read more

My mom and I had a great sandwich and side salad. We will go back. Plus there is an amazing selection of Locally Sourced meats.

Consistently good food. Kind service. Friendly atmosphere. Great for breakfast. Quick and large portions.

Best crew in town!! Porterhouse is an Eagle gem! I stopped to pick-up a sandwich and check out the various salads, sandwiches and dessert choices. The sandwiches are freshly made to order and they are delicious! Porterhouse is popular and normally pretty busy. I stopped in when they opened at 10 am and was quickly able to get what I needed. I ordered the Kansas City Brisket BBQ Sandwich "Our slow-smoked tender beef brisket loaded up with our special BBQ sauce and sliced onion" and loved each flavorful bite. The potato salad was excellent and had that taste of home! I'm excited to go back because they have quite a few other sandwiches I definitely need to try. Porterhouse is a cute little spot designed to handle the walk in traffic. There are a few tables if you want to stay to eat. The employees are truly exceptional, both knowledgeable and friendly!! Porterhouse is so much more than just a deli checkout their website to discover all they have to offer!!! read more

Wonderful selection of superior meats and deli items - even fresh eggs!! They have fresh cookies and local honey too. Nice small selection of wines. Super knowledgeable & nice people that work there too. Feels old school. We LOVE THIS PLACE Kristen and Jeff Ward Meridian, Idaho read more

The food and sandwiches are already well-known and rightly reviewed as excellent. But today, the customer service at Porterhouse went to the five-star level.... making things right for me. I typically order online and pay in advance of pickup. The online ordering software works well, but my orders are frequently packaged with errors. Ex: side items missing, the wrong dessert bar put in the bag, order not ready even 30 minutes after promised... Today, Porterhouse made it right for me - by listening to my history of issues. I'm sorry I didn't get the name of the young man who patiently took notes- or his colleague whom I recognize from my frequent visits - but thank you both for making things right and reminding me why I keep Porterhouse on my short list. read more

This is my #1 go to spot for lunch in all of the Treasure Valley. It's not as talked about as it should be.

I love to see small businesses this busy! Sandwiches are top notch. And their carne asada is melt-in-your-mouth tender. Will be back, for sure read more

The staff is so friendly here! There is a lot to look at around the store and lots of great meat options for purchase as well as things like premade soup, brownies, pasta salad, sandwiches, cheeses, etc. there is seating inside as well as a few tables outside. Will be back soon! read more

We've heard some good things about Porterhouse. We stopped by a few weeks ago and ordered some sandwiches. Turkey or Turkey Club I think. The bread was not fresh and a few days old. Good fresh bread is the foundation of a great sandwich. The staff looked miserable. But, we'll give this place another shot read more

First, to be clear, this is a meat market and a very nice one. On my return trip I will place an order for their prime cuts to bring back for some summertime grilling. Did get a Rueben with potato salad and a Mexican Coke. All were very good. Nice service, clean and charming shop for desserts, seafood, and much more. read more

Always a good experience here. Amazing sandwiches, soups, salads, desserts. Best tuna melt ever!

I walked through their door just before closing. A very helpful & kind young man named Hayden waited on me. I bought a Parmesan chicken breast, a twice baked potato and a container of Caprese salad. It was all delicious!!! I will definitely return to try one of their delicious-sounding sandwiches. I highly recommend this business!! read more

Stopped in on a random whim and wow I was very impressed! The Ruben here is delicious. They have various pasta salad to choose from to go with the sandwich. Can drink a beer with it as well. They had lots of meat options and a meat counter you can select a cut and take home to grill up yourself. The young man who made our sandwich's was very nice and was in culinary school! Next time I'm going that way I will definitely make a point to grab another bite! read more

This was by far the best food we had on our recent road trip, which I mean in full compliment. Our sandwiches and sides were well-made with great quality ingredients, and everything was so perfect that we returned back the next day on my insistence. The shells and grapes were bomb! Definitely don't sleep on the yummy salads. The butcher selections looked impressive, as well! read more

We stumbled onto Porterhouse after shopping in the Roost Gift & Home Collection shop within the North Channel Center in Eagle. Detected the unmistakeable smell of a smoker in the vicinity; lo and behold, the aroma led right to Porterhouse in the same center. Being a huge fan of smoked meats, we had to pop in for lunch. As you walk in the door it becomes obvious that Porterhouse is primarily a meat & high-quality grocery market with the option of enjoying a great lunch. A light handful of high-top tables and chairs (sorry, I don't recall whether there were seats in front - but there are plenty of places to sit around the center itself). The interior of Porterhouse is warm and welcoming. Plenty of hands working behind the clean refrigerated deli cases. To the immediate right of the deli cases lie the beautiful butchered goods and their dedicated personnel. Directly across from the deli cases the various "market goods" coolers and freezers are located. The dining area rests in-between both areas. It is small for a dining area, but a great place for viewing. The deli menu is limited, but the choices are varied and impressive. Wife's choice today was the Albacore Tuna Melt: Housemade Albacore tuna salad with provolone and pepperoncini peppers, grilled on sourdough. It comes with the housemade potato salad. She really enjoyed the quality of ingredients used. From the "BBQ Sandwiches" menu, I ordered the Kansas City Brisket sammie: slow smoked tender beef brisket loaded up with their special BBQ sauce and sliced onion. The BBQ sandwiches come with the potato salad as well as the BBQ beans (both housemade). To be honest, I have had brisket that was a bit higher in moisture content - not that it did not taste really good, because it was. My first thought is that it may have been sliced earlier, then reheated for the order (just an unsubstantiated guess). Their BBQ sauce was a little on the sweet side, but it actually helped the brisket. The sandwich roll held together nicely. For me, the best part was the housemade potato salad. Just slightly on the mustardy side - my favorite direction. We both enjoyed the tater salad enough that we took home a container after lunch. The BBQ beans were very tasty if not a little sweet. Nothing wrong with that, but in combination with the similar BBQ sauce on the sandwich just went a bit sweet. All really good though, make no mistake about it. We looked through their extensive "grocery" cases after lunch - wonderful items can be had within. Many different housemade sausages, salads, entrees, etc. We snagged a couple of things to take home. Of course with a name like Porterhouse, as expected, the stars of the show here are the fresh meat and seafood selections available. While enjoying our lunch it was possible for us to observe many customers arrive and receive excellent service from everyone on the staff here. Quality throughout. I really wish it were possible to select 1/2 stars within the Yelp reviewing process - Porterhouse is easily at least a 4.5 in my opinion. Could not in this one visit assign a 5-star, primarily on the basis of the brisket. That in itself would not prevent us from returning for another great lunch. read more

A specialty and meat/fish market that has a great menu as a takeout restaurant. My personal passion is their Reuben sandwich and baked bean side. Perfectionists will tell me that this sandwich is not a REAL one because it uses pastrami instead of corned beef. It also uses stone ground mustard instead of Russian dressing. To those I say, so don't eat it. It is just a delicious meal, and you can eat vastly inferior sandwiches all over the Treasure Valley, regardless of the name. This is really good stuff. I could make a meal of just the baked beans read more

Awesome spot for meats, sweets and a nice assortment of beer and wine. We were in about noon on a Saturday and some how made it in just before the lunch, this place gets busy. The inside is small, only about 8 at a big shared table in the center, I'd imagine once it warms up a bit the outdoor seating would come in handy. Our group ordered the Italian, Porterhouse Club, California TriTip, and the Roast Beef. They were all great, and we look forward to returning and checking them all off of the list! Will definitely be back! read more

A couple days ago I got the best damn Reuben I've ever had. Served piping hot and generously packed with the goods, I devoured the entire beast in 10 minutes. Housemade pastrami with Jarlsberg swiss, thousand island dressing, Guiness mustard and pickled red onion grilled on rye. Nothing beats that. I've also tried their Seasonal Berry Pecan salad that's absolutely heavenly. Fresh spring greens with the sweetest roasted candied pecans, berries, chevre goat cheese (lots of it!) and chicken breast all drizzled in a delicious, tart raspberry vinaigrette. I can't wait to try out the rest of their menu! read more

I visited this store on a weekday for Christmas shopping with my family, and I was served the absolute best tomato bisque soup with sourdough bread. They also have mixed cocktails, a small menu, and I was served a spicy Bloody Mary, which was very tasty. They have a selection of broths for both pets & humans, non-alcoholic bottled beverages, wines, soups, meats, cheeses & deli items to choose from. I'll be back! read more

Always great beef, pork and chicken! The butchers know what we want and how to cut it.

We ordered a raw turkey and other Thanksgiving items. All were very good but the turkey was the best I've made in the 30+ years that I've been on Turkey Day duty. I highly recommend Porterhouse. read more

What a gem this place is! Their Italian sandwich is delicious. Their little shop has a variety of goodies for fair prices. We've shopped their value meat section several times and haven't been disappointed! Service is pretty quick & their deli is pack with flavorful options. read more

Holy moly these sandwiches were just what the doctored ordered. Had the Ruben on sourdough, not a rye fan. The sourdough was so soft and yummy, even though toasted on the outside. Sauce and mustard were lick your fingers good. Also had the California tri tip that tasted so fresh and hearty. Inside is small but also has several outdoor tables. read more

I stopped in today for lunch and was nicely awarded. I got a warm Parmesan chicken breast and some potato salad for lunch. Both tasted great and I found a wonderful selection of local meats to BBQ, a great deli for sandwiches, and wonderful service. I think it's worth the trip to find this little place off Eagle road at State Hwy. The prices were not "discount" if that's what you are looking for, but the quality is excellent. Recommended! read more

I liked it. Everyone in my party did not, though. We stopped for lunch, on our way out and about. I got an Italian sub that was delicious but loaded with way too much pesto mayo. Ruined it a bit since it was covered in it. Next time, mayo on side. Kids got grilled cheese, delicious! Mom got a chicken cutlet that was delicious. The place was insane right around lunch time with orders and pick ups. You can buy meat, fresh and frozen and items from deli case. Try the 5 P salad, it was pesto, parm, pine nuts, parsley, pasta... delicious!! read more

So good! Unique, authentic, local, and extremely legit. I recommend exploring every sandwich on the menu and then grabbing some locally sourced meat for home. read more
