    Rose city smash
    Daphne S.

    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.

    Fried pickle burger

    My son took my to Sandy O's for Mothers day, I had the fried pickle Burger. Wow! That was the best burger I have ever had. What a wonderful combination. I will recommend this to all of my friends .Great service, fast and delicious!

    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.

    The Peewee and the holy smokes smash with tater salad
    Catherine T.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent service and a great place to eat! The restaurant is cool with pinball machines to play while you wait for your food. I'm taking away 1 Star, due to the fact that they discontinued their brisket chili fries. Bring back the chili!!!!!

    I always enjoy coming out here when I am in the area. The burgers and sandwiches here are consistent and worth trying out. Sorting this visit, we ordered the Rose City Smash and Italian Necktie sandwich with some fries. The smash burger here is excellent (make sure to get a double if you are hungry) and the Italian Necktie was made well. They are also quick to get our the orders as well.

    Great experience here!! Came by after landing in the Portland airport- super quick and easy to get to, only about 8 minutes. We ordered two sandwiches and fries. One serving of fries was more than enough for two people, and they were so good! Very crunchy and flavorful. Both sandwiches were so good, but I definitely preferred the Italian Necktie. My one comment on it is the ease of eating- the sandwich is packed full of food (big plus) but because it's overflowing, there's definitely a lot that falls out, so not the most graceful sandwich to eat. The other one was much easier! Other details: Two public restrooms, and only indoor seating (but a lot of it). The folks behind the counter were so sweet and made my experience more enjoyable!

    The SS Adamant
    Brooke H.

    Portland is a great place for sandwiches. We've got a lot of options. I happened to be closer to the airport and found this place on Yelp. I ordered the SS Adamant and really enjoyed it. The pickles weren't sweet, which is big for me. The picked onions were perfect and I didn't realize how much tuna sandwiches need pickled onions! We also ordered a side of fries and they were crispy and seasoned perfectly. I ended up only eating half of my sandwich because it was so packed with tuna salad. The last thing we tried was the buttermilk pie, which comes with a side of sour cream. At first we were like "ew, why would sour cream come with this?" But when we tried it, we couldn't believe how it elevated the flavor and even the texture of the pie. The interior is quaint and has an almost western vibe to it. The service was excellent, as well. She was kind and answered our questions.

    Classic
    Cristal B.

    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 .

    Menu

    Always been curious about this place on my to costco. Had the Philly which was pretty good, the cheese was a tad too cheesy for my preference and the meat had a bit of fat to eat but overall decent. Service was nice, efficient, and food came out quickly. Would go back to try another sando and cookie. Interior was nice and clean but had a kinda stagnant vibe i think just cause seating felt sparse for the size of space. They have parking which is a solid plus.

    The Luna sans bacon
    Aimee L.

    ...and I did come back to get La Luna. This time I ordered it online with everything but mayo. The apple butter takes it over the top of what would normally be a very good Turkey BAT. Arugula is a great choice over lettuce. Prices are just nuts in 2025 going on 2026. Almost $20 for a sandwich and nothing else. And that's not just here ofc.

    Burger with Pulled pork
    Mike S.

    This is an underrated gym! The service was super friendly, we felt like she was greeting and helping a regular. Food came out quick and was phenomenal. Smash burger with tons of flavor and a killer Mule to wash it down with. It's very laid back, country style burger shop with tons of heart. Excited to get more of the menu!

    Christmas Eve Magic, Molten Cheese, and Dive Bar Greatness!…read more Hello!!!!!! How have I been living in Portland and not known that Sandy Jug Tavern is serving up one of the best burgers in town? We swung by on a very busy Christmas Eve and were immediately hit with that perfect, cozy tavern glow. If you haven't been, the vibe is pure "Old Portland"--historic, unpretentious, and effortlessly cool. We managed to snag a spot near the bar, which was the perfect vantage point to watch the holiday chaos while sipping on our Christmas Old Fashioneds. Our trio went all in: a Juicy Lucy, a Chopped Cheese, and a BLT. I tried to play it safe and go the "healthy" route with the BLT--which was fresh and crisp--but the Juicy Lucy absolutely stole the show! As a group of self-proclaimed burger connoisseurs, we were floored. We're talking a thick, hand-pressed patty stuffed with molten American cheese that literally oozes with every bite. PRO TIP: Exercise some holiday restraint and let it sit for a minute so you don't incinerate your tongue on that delicious cheese lava! Not to be outdone, the Chopped Cheese was a gritty, glorious masterpiece--the perfect NYC-style love child of a cheeseburger and a Philly cheesesteak. Between the historic "Jug" setting, the friendly holiday service, and the cheese-stuffed heaven on a plate, our bellies left very, very happy. This isn't just a meal; it's a PDX rite of passage. We will definitely be back!

    This is a great hole in the wall burger spot with a cute bar ambiance. I love the outside building…read moretoo. They have some great specials throughout the week. Everything we got was so yummy, burgers were amazing for what you get and the fries are the perfect size. The mozzarella sticks did kind of fall apart but overall the flavor was there. And the chicken tenders were both juicy and crispy. Definitely would be back!
