    This place was pretty good! I'd come here again when in the mood for a good sandwich. Service was exceptional, and quick. The food was flavorful and filling. The place has a fun eclectic vibe. Zero complaints!

    Double Rose City Smash burger

    Stopped in for the first time today, and will be back! Great burger, good service, and a really cool place to eat. Convenient parking too! I ordered a Rose City Smash double... and did not see cheese on the menu listing. So I said "throw some cheese on it too!"... and the guy at the counter thought I said NO CHEESE (like I woudl ever say no cheese, lol!). When I got the burger, I let them know about the mistake, and they offered to make me another burger. I said it ok... and ate the burger as it was. Tasty... lots of meat, way too much lettuce (especially with the current lettuce problems, lol)! Looking forward to next time!

    We always see the billboard when headed to baggage claim at the Pdx air port but never thought to try but today we did and it didn't disappoint! We had their regular smash burger and it was amazing! Meat cooked to perfection, the bun was soft and toasty. The fries were delicious! If you are looking for a really good burger MUST TRY! Service was also really quick. This will be a burger go to spot when I'm but the airport!

    Gosh damnnnnn what a treat, first time here not my last I got the liberty bell??? It's the two on top of the sandwich list. The flavors! The PeeWee and The Liberty Bell is what we got

    Jew just picked up some sandwiches from Sandy O's . I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandi. It came with large chicken tenders on it with bacon, lettuce , pickles, and mayo. The tenders were a little dry, but the sandwich was still very good and filling. My friend ordered the Full Pork Press. It was juicy and full of flavor. We ordered our food online and it was tasty for pickup when we arrived. The service was friendly and quick.

    The Peewee
    Ingrid S.

    I am glad this neighborhood has this restaurant. It's a casual sandwich, burger and salad spot. The parking is really tricky with the entrance and exit on Sandy blvd at the corner of 105th. Once parked you have to walk thru that small lot and turn right on Sandy to find the door. It was filled up around the lunch hour. We got the pastrami sandwich and the Italian. The Italian was really good, it's a chopped sandwich with the best thinly sliced lettuce. The bun was light and went well with the filling. I can't recommend the pastrami, it was too salty and a flavor bomb. I wish it was lightened up somehow. They have pin ball inside and plenty of seating and everyone was really friendly.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and it definitely did NOT disappoint. The sandwiches were delicious, the service was great, and the place is huge -- plus they even have a few pinball machines! Now I'm already plotting my next visit because I need to try their burgers too.

    This is a fairly spacious spot with a decent amount of parking around the corner. My partner and I came around 11am and were able to avoid the lunch rush -- it got really crowded around 12 which was a good sign!! The burger was good and I'd definitely come back. The peewee -- 6/10. Wayyy too salty. Would not recommend. Holy smokes burger -- 10/10! This is exactly what I'd want in a brisket burger fusion. The brisket was super tender and flavorful and everything mixed well together. I'd recommend getting this with a side of fries Potato salad -- 7/10. This was eh. Nothing special.

    Rose city smash

    A really solid burger. Who would've thought something on Sandy would deliver like this. So worth it. Great space to sit and eat. Lots of seats. Some games to play. Staff was very kind.

    Holy Smokes Smash
    Amanda V.

    I'd seen the ads for Sandy-Os around PDX while testing Alaska Airlines' "bags in 20 minutes" guarantee, but this was my first actual visit -- and it was worth the wait. The Holy Smokes Smashburger is an absolute knockout: a perfectly seared ground beef patty piled high with tender smoked brisket. It's rich, smoky, and messy in the best possible way -- the kind of burger you talk about afterward. The dining room is small but full of personality, with eclectic décor that feels both casual and intentional. It's the sort of place where you can tell the owners care about the vibe as much as the food. Service was friendly, and though seating is limited, it adds to the cozy, neighborhood-joint atmosphere. Pro tip: plan on street parking, as there's no dedicated lot -- but it's usually manageable. Overall, Sandy-Os delivers on flavor, charm, and a sense of Portland character. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

    Im a bit of a sandwich snob so I was pretty disappointed with their cubano. It was far too skimpy on the meats and really all ingredients. Most every other sammich in Portland I've tried can easily fill me up with half but I still felt kinda hungry after.

    Classic

    Our first time in Oregon and our first place to eat ! The lady with the green hair was super cool . The vibe was giving twilight with a classic old vibe it was great . The best part was the food , it hit the spot after traveling all day . The were big enough for 2 people. We left happy and full .

    We needed to grab something to eat on the way to the airport and this place had good ratings. We walked in were greeted by a very friendly fella. He told us some of the most popular items and we chose 2 of them. I got the Holy Smokes Smash with a single patty, smoked brisket, fries, bbq sauce, lettuce, and shaved onion on a yummy soft bun. The brisket was so good. Tender and juicy making the burger a bit messy. It kind of took over the burger but not in a bad way. If we ever come back I would try the plainer Rose City Smash to try the burger on its own. My fella got the Italian Necktie. Ham, capicola , beef salami, provolone, lettuce, red onion, pepperocini, spicy May and vinaigrette on a really good hoagie roll. Delicious sandwich packed full of good quality ingredients. We also shared some delicious crispy fries. I appreciated the extra clean bathrooms! Great place that I wish was in Arizona as well.

We also shared the chicken and biscuits with mushroom gravy. The chicken was so well seasoned - as was the gravy. The potatoes were soft and crispy at once. Absolutely delicious.

My co-worker mentioned wanting some "creole, southern cooking" so I did some more Yelp'ing of course, revealing yet another bookmark, Screen Door! Here's how it went. Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on Couch St. in the Pearl District is this gem. The outside isn't much to look at, it's straightforward and modern. The restaurant is set on the corner and is adorned with yellow touches with a decent-sized outdoor section. Once inside it feels like a nice old-school mansion set right out of the bayous of New Orleans. Lots of low yellow lighting, woods and bright tiles decorate the bar as well as the seating areas. It's one big open seating area with the bar off to the right. I loved the open concept. It was busy, but wasn't terribly loud. I also LOVED how this place loudly and proudly welcomed LGBTQ+ community with a rainbow of balloons as well as artwork! Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no issues here whatsoever. Food: The drinks were strong, colorful and delightful. Being based on southern cooking I had to try the classing New Orleans Hurricane and Sazerac! The Hurricane was huge, delicious and of course, strong. The Sazerac was practically perfect. First up I checked out the Hush Puppies which are cornmeal fritters w/ pepper jelly. These were delicious, hot, fresh and the pepper jelly had an EXCELLENT spice to it! Next up were the Crispy Fried Oysters which are cooked then crusted with cornmeal, bacon, other seasonings and served with toast points. These were delicious and literally made me forget I was eating oysters. Next up I tried the fried chicken that came with buttermilk-battered, crispy fried boneless chicken breast & thigh w/ buttery mashed potatoes, tasso ham gravy and collard greens. Absolutely fantastic. Chicken was crispy, juicy, tender and well-seasoned. The mashed potatoes were also moist and left my mouth watering after each bite. Collard greens were fresh and everything I wanted them to be. I also got the chance to try the Chicken & Waffles which comes with 1, 2 or 3 pieces of chicken depending on how hungry you are, a sweet potato waffle and of course syrup while everything is dusted with powdered sugar. Fantastic. The savory and the sweet just balanced themselves so well. My co-worked also let me try his macaroni & cheese which was damn good. Baked so it had that layer of crispy cheese across the top and was so cheesy, so gooey underneath. Value: Macaroni & Cheese Side = $7.00 Don't Tell Me What to Do! (Drink) = $13.00 Original Sazerac (Drink) = $15.00 Baked Oysters = $12.00 Chicken & Waffles (3-Pieces) = $29.00 Fried Chicken Dinner = $27.00 It's not fine-dining pricing, but it's not cheap either. The food and the ambiance are absolutely worth the price point. The quality speaks for itself. In conclusion, I LOVED it here at Screen Door. It's worthy of its great rating, stellar reputation and pricing. I am excited to pay this place a visit again in the future when I make it back here.

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.

The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside.
