It's so hard to find vegetarian food to go so I decided to hit this place up and see what was yummy. I'll give them that it was a busy Friday afternoon, but the staff wasn't super friendly or helpful. I asked if all the sandwiches were warm and was told yes, requested one and she all but snapped at me "that one isn't warm" um, ok then.... I opted for the veggie cheesesteak, seemed like a safe bet. It was ok. The bred was very soft, but also super dry. Like without the veggies you couldn't really eat it dry. Veggies were ok, throughly cooked but almost to the point of being mush. I guess that's better than way under. There wasn't much cheese and it was a cheesesteak so that was odd. But it was just about $10, and the portion was large so they get points for that. Very basic sodas in cans for drinks and no sides from what I could tell. The place wasn't super clean, which could be expected from a roadside food stand like this, but they definitely could have done more. And their restrooms weren't working, which I found odd. There are better food trucks in town, so I probably won't venture here again. But he definitely had worse, so there's that.

"Banana" cheesesteak
Justin S.

Great food! As someone who grew up eating some of the best cheesesteaks out there, in New Jersey, I can say that this was a pretty good spot. The "banana" cheesesteak with its banana peppers, was really really good; and that horseradish sauce hit the spot. The only real feedback I had was that the sandwich was a little too bread, but I did love how they seared the top of the sandwich as well.

Wipe out- no tomatoes

We tried several sandwiches and every single one was amazing--so fresh and full of flavor! You can really tell the quality in every bite. My absolute favorite was the Wipe Out... SO good, I'm already craving it again! Highly recommend trying a few because you honestly can't go wrong.

Consistently great food over many years with decent staff and great prices. They bring it straight to your car. One of the best places to get consistently great food.

Malibu sandwich and cup of clam chowder
Joanna B.

This place is a great staple in Long Beach. Hours are reliable and they take credit cards! The clam chowder is different than most- peppery and savory. My mom said it's the best she's had in a long time. Lots of vegetarian choices, both hot and cold. They also have great smoothies and their bread is baked fresh each day. Definitely give this place a try and enjoy your food outside or take it for a picnic!

Crasins, pineapple, apples, and cashews in a sandwich? I'm honestly not sure why this works, but it does. We love a good vegetarian menu moment and happened upon this gem after visiting Cape Disappointment. No disappointments here! I'm vegetarian and I ordered the Goofy Foot with jalapeños and it almost knocked my socks right off. My friend got the Big Kahuna with jalapeños as it was recommended by another reviewer! :) We were both super happy with our choices and agreed we'd likely be here 4 times a week if we lived in the area!

Closed.

Showed up on a Monday afternoon, internet search said the place was open but it was closed IRL. Maybe seasonal hours. I'm sure the food is good, I really was excited to try this place. Maybe try calling before you drive all the way there and see a sign posted in the window that it's closed. Small town adventures and life lessons in food planning and having some grace with everyone is what I enjoyed from Surfer Sands.

Warm delicious Sandwiches with great choices. A new favorite! On main strip so easy in & out

The chicken sandwich cut in half so you could see the insides. Very delicious.

Quite delicious very tasty at a good value for your buck. I definitely go back and try something else next time I'm up that way.

We recently discovered the gem that is the Chalkboard Cafe. While staying in Seaside we were…read morelooking for a new breakfast spot and are glad that we happened upon the Chalkboard Cafe. Located near the end of a strip mall on Broadway on the Southeast side of the river, this tiny cafe and bakery serves up love and smiles. We were traveling with our two adult children who are on the autism spectrum. Our oldest is gluten free and our youngest, well he identifies as a bull moose and can be about as easy to wrangle. There were plenty of gluten free options for our oldest. Our server Zoe rocking the Wonder Woman tank was a super hero! The owner quickly tuned in to our family being on team quirky and made us feel welcome and at home. Everyone was so friendly! The food? Exceptional! This was our third breakfast out on our trip and the Chalkboard Cafe took the blue ribbon and it was not even close! My youngest had the biscuits and gravy, with a couple of eggs and a sausage patty. He's a charter member of the clean plate club and met the challenge. It was a generous portion. Our oldest had a half order of the B&G and was tempted to have one of the hot from the oven gluten free mini Marion berry pies that the owner proudly paraded around the dining room. Steaming from the oven this Marion berry pie tasted like the best of an Oregon summer. I was glad he shared a couple of bites. It was such a delight that we took a pie home for later! My wife and I shared the traditional eggs Benedict. The eggs were perfectly poached, and topped with a thick piece of ham grounded with their perfect English muffin. The Hollandaise was rich and creamy providing a wonderful coat on top of the egg. Their red potatoes were seasoned just right and were a compliment to the eggs Benedict as they would compliment most any savory breakfast. In addition to the pie we took home a couple their chocolate krinkle cookies which were not gluten free. That's the bad news. The good news is that we did not have to share them! They were heavenly! We get to Seaside at least once or twice a year and the Chalkboard Cafe will be part of our regular dining rotation while visiting. Thanks for the love and excellence! Great job and we are looking forward to our next visit!

We had heard of mix reviews from Steakadelphia in Beaverton, on Saturday my son and I took a trip…read moreto taste for ourselves, we were not disappointed. The shop is located right after the Budget Rental Car building off of Canyon Road, you turn left going east into the parking lot as you pass the Budget building, the sandwich shop is right next to the hot tub shop on the left of the lot, ample parking is available. The interior has a few tables but seating is limited if you plan on eating in. The menu board is basic and to the point. You can create your own sandwich or select from the various options. A key fact, they only serve one size sandwich a 12 inch. I ordered the chicken with pepperjack cheese, hot peppers (they are hot), black olives, pickles and mayo (I will share that you might ask for a smaller spread of mayo if you are not a huge mayo fan), my son ordered the Supreme with steak, mayo, unions, lettuce, tomato, jalapeños, mushrooms and steak sauce on a soft white roll. The bread was amazingly soft and holds up well with all of the toppings. The sandwich taste was amazing, it took about 8 min or so to get our order but well worth the wait, they sandwiches were packed with toppings, nice and hot proteins, we also ordered fries with cheese dip, the french fry order was much larger than expected glad that we shared them, the cheese dip is also very tasty. We look forward to our next sandwich.

Second time, I ordered online and requested Anjou sauce but they didn't have any and called me for another substitute. Which I thought was nice, because the first time I asked I assumed they just didn't put it on the side. 3rd, I ate there In person, right when they opened up. A girl helped me, she was really nice. The food always taste amazing. Definitely will keep coming back!

Atmosphere: Food truck pod…read more Food: I was very excited when I got the cheesesteak. It was piping hot and I had high hopes, especially with Whiz. The whiz was done right and was nice and thin as opposed to being too thick like some places do it. I appreciated the idea behind putting multiple cheese types in here, but I think it probably would have been better with just whiz. Unfortunately, my biggest gripe with this sandwich was that the meat used was pretty clearly chopped up burger meat as opposed to the typical shaved steak that you would typically encounter in a cheesesteak. While I hoped that this wouldn't make too much of a difference and would still be an enjoyable sandwich, I just couldn't overlook it as I ate the sandwich. Price: $17 for a cheesesteak (as of June 12, 2025). Reubens were $19. Prices are a bit high in my opinion Service: Excellent service. Very friendly and accommodating Parking: Street parking. Parking in the area can be a little tight but you can find something if you don't mind walking a couple blocks

Okay let's get it simple. Chopped cheese (an east coast delicacy), has made its way to Portland…read more Then there was a good old fashion Ruben. The Ruben was just okay. I kept my pants on for that one. The chopped cheese though? That blew my face off. One of the best things you can get on a hoagie this side of the Mississippi. Get that. Go home and eat it. Go to sleep. Wake up, and go back and get it again. Elite stuff. The rest of the menu looked pretty sexy too. (4.7 Stars)
