    French Dip Roast Beef
    Nicholas O.

    First time and not my last! The pastrami was sliced thin with great flavor! My first time trying Dutch crunch bread and it was both soft, chewy, and a great crust. I do think it could have used a bit of brightness to balance the sandwich. The roast beef was flavorful and the horseradish mustard was perfect. It added a nice brightness to cut through the rich au jus. The seating is limited indoors, but there are a few tables outside. The staff seem nice though you don't interact much and order through a kiosk at this location.

    This place was mentioned by locals when I was visiting, stating they even run out of the Dutch Crunch bread, so go early. That right there made me want to go. Tiny parking lot and limited street parking, but we found a spot. I went with the hot T.B.L.T and it did not disappoint! I went without the red wine vinegar and oil, because I knew I would take 1/2 home, but I can only imagine that makes it better. Next time, I will get it on the side and drizzle as I eat. My loss. My companion went with the French Dip and loved it! Small seating area and no real interaction with the staff. You order/pay at a kiosk, they just call out your name. I didn't see any bathrooms, but it's possible the building businesses share a community one? Overall, this feels like more Grab and Go, than a sit down restaurant, but awesome sandwiches!

    Excellent! My bride and I stopped by after church to get sandwiches before heading on the road. Very easy ordering process with the kiosk allowing you to full customize your selections. Staff was super helpful in assisting. My bride ordered the Avo-Chickpea and I went with The GodFather - we both selected Dutch Crunch Rolls.....we both loved our selections and commented how much we enjoyed the Dutch Crunch! Since I was driving when I ate the sandwich, I didn't get a picture to share :(

    Order on a screen, plenty of seating inside and outside French dip was glorious - the au jus was very flavorful and the addition of the horse radish and dijon mustard melded everything into an addictive bite. Finished it in under 5 minutes. The pastrami meat had good flavor but the sandwich was lacking and the one I ordered needed some more acidity. An alright sandwich. Would come again to try other things

    Great staff, incredible food & cute little spot in the cute & quaint neighborhood in SE. Outdoor & indoor seating available. The staff is super nice, will def be back. 10/10 if in PDX.

    If you're looking for a sandwich that commands respect, The Godfather is it. I stopped by this sandwich shop on a sunny afternoon and took my order out to the patio--nothing like enjoying a bold, flavor-packed sub at a picnic table under the sun. I ordered The Godfather, and let me tell you, this cold sub is the real deal. Layered with Genoa salami, prosciutto, capocollo, ham, and mortadella, every bite delivered a savory, perfectly seasoned kick. The pepper jack cheese I chose to add definitely added the right amount of heat, and the spicy salad lettuce gave it a crisp, zesty crunch. Add in creamy avocado, crispy bacon, and tangy pepperoncini's--all tucked into perfectly crispy Dutch bread--and you've got a sandwich that's stacked, satisfying, and straight-up delicious. Great vibes, friendly service, and that unbeatable patio setup made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back to see what other masterpieces they're serving up.

    Tasty sandwiches although I still prefer Jersey Mike's. Prices are a little bit high, around $14 for a sandwich. Service was good and helpful, but they were pretty busy when I went and it took a long time for the order to be ready even though they were doing their best to hustle so if in a rush, maybe go elsewhere.

    Fresh baked bread

    Trying again after many years. I am just not a fan of dutch crust bread and I think last time I tried it out. Just a personal preference. Nice to see they had a french bread option. My husband enjoyed his salad but thought the choice of protein on the salads was too limited. Tuna, salami, basic turkey or garbanzo beans. Asked after we ate and they said next time we can ask but they will charge more as the other meats cost more. I think they could still add the option and just show it costs more. I enjoyed the warm ham and provolone sandwich on french. Usually provolone is so bland but it was pretty good melted. Very popular and a big line after noon. Reasonable prices but Boars Head meats so not high end either. I did have the special Snickerdoodle and was very happy. Two typical types of Snickerdoodle cookies (one of my favorite cookies). Either dry and crumbly (not my thing) or moist but soft. Theirs was moist and soft with good cinnamon flavor so two thumbs up from me.

    The Godfather Dutch crunch spicy peppers

    Believe the hype. Get the Godfather. Get the Dutch crunch. Make sure you get the works and absolutely the spicy peppers. This was one of the best cold cuts I've had. Hands down delicious. Service was quick and they were busy! Place looked clean, open, and bright. Not a huge indoor space but plenty of seating outside.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch since the line for biscuits was out the door but I'm glad we did! You'll order at the kiosk and they will call your name when ready. It was decently busy for early lunch but our sandwiches took about 10 minutes. I got the TBLT and thought it was solid. The portion is pretty generous! Definitely try the dutch crunch bread for some extra texture.

    BBQ Beef

    Do not sleep on this sandwich shop. I mean that literally, they are so busy they typically run out of the Dutch Crunch bread that is a must have! We got there around noon and there was already a decent line. It moved quickly with a little kiosk to order from and we had our sandwiches in no time! We split a BBQ Beef and a Godfather, and both were killer! The place has a very Portland vibe, outdoor seating, and enough seating inside to keep you warm! Definitely a must try!

    Sold out at 12:30pm on a Sunday! A friend recommended The Baker's Mark and we went in blindly. After eating here, you can tell that this place is known for their bread, specifically their Dutch Crunch bread. We ordered a Hot Pastrami Sandwich (Provolone, no mayo, spicy brown mustard) and the Godfather (added Genoa Salami, no mayo, all the veggies, hot peppers, red wine vinegar); both were served on their signature Dutch Crunch bread, as they were sold out of all other breads. Both sandwiches were solid, I will say that I actually preferred the Hot Pastrami over the Godfather- and I am not a pastrami girly. I think the fact that it was warm really brought the bread to life and made it that much more tasty- nice crunch, melty cheese, and sour pickles! We ordered a fermented sour pickle on the side, which really hit the spot, but was $3 for a very small pickle- a bit overpriced in my opinion. Otherwise, the sandwiches' price point were both excellent for what you got- these days a value is as much on my mind as how good something tastes when I'm seeking out a spot to eat. We sat out on the patio, which was very windy and cold- adding some of those outdoor overhead heaters would have made the seating much more enjoyable. You have to bus your tables after you eat, which is pretty typical nowadays- I was happy to find a clean table and not have to bus beforehand. My final thoughts are that I would definitely recommend The Baker's Mark to eat at to someone seeking a sandwich, but I personally wouldn't frequent this spot. There are so many Deli's to choose from, and the bread isn't enough for me to choose this spot over another. I am curious to try their Spicy Dutch Crunch bread (which they were sold out of by the time we got there), so I'll definitely be back for Round 2. PRO TIP: Order ahead online so you don't miss out.

    What time do they usually sell out? I have come twice at 1pm (halfway through open hours) and sold out both times? Do they just not make enough bread?

    It depends on the day. They make more Dutch Crunch than French Rolls each day but still manage to sell out (speaks to the quality / demand).… Read more

    Do you sell your loaves of bread?

    Right now only at our NW Pearl location. At SE Division we need to keep all our rolls for sandwiches.

    Do you still offer the Spicy Dutch Crunch?

    No not right now. We are still trying to build the menu back up after this break. It is my favorite and we are actively figuring out how to bring it back at least 1 day a week.… Read more

    Great service and delicious food! Visited while in Oregon with my sister, who recommended this…read moreplace, and we even had the chance to chat with the owner, which made the experience even better. They're open on Mondays, which is rare since many restaurants are closed, so it was nice to try it before leaving. My sister ordered the spaghetti and cheese with two large meatballs, garlic bread, and the Chicago beef with Italian sausage, and both were great. The meatballs were especially delicious. I just wish more were included, though extras are available to order. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich which was very cheesey and flavorful. Afterward, we noticed you can add pepperoni and make it a "Chicken Parmeroni," which sounds like a better option. The large antipasta salad with balsamic vinegar was fresh and tasty, and it's nice that you can choose your dressing . I really love the antipasta salad! Overall, a really enjoyable meal and definitely worth recommending! Wish there had been time to try more of the menu.

    Let me start by saying I didn't take pictures. For anyone who reads my reviews, that's a big part…read moreof them: ALL THE PICTURES. Presentation, portions, half eaten, etc... but I didn't. Because the food was so damn good. Look - I'm going to start off by saying I grew up practically on The Hill. Out here, you'll have to Google it (make sure to add 'RI' to the search or you'll get some political BS), but back east, "alls you's have ta say" was those two words and anyone would know you knew your Italian, food and otherwise. There isn't anything on this coast that vaguely compares to The Hill's food, but walking into and biting out of Geraldi's was having a little piece of home. There's this little shop in the old town where the owner knew your voice when you called to order... you'd walk in, and you heard "hey cousin!" whether you were or not, and that's the vibe you get from Geraldi's. The food is much the same - you get something that looks like Nonna was at the range all day with her sauce (it's not gravy - no meat) and you came home looking like you haven't eaten in weeks: "I'm gonna fatten you up before you leave" and you walked out the door with a sub (sandwich, that is - not a submarine) that weighed the same as a newborn. We got three of those babies: a Chicago Beef (seal of approval from the orderer - only 'complaint' was that they had to eat it all in one day because the bread was quote too soggy to make it to lunch the next day - travesty), an Italian sausage (just as delicious when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and a Chicken Parmeroni (I thought somehow even better when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and I could have absolutely gone back the next day if it weren't for A. the leftovers 2/3 of us had and B. the meal planning we'd done for the week. I also grabbed a side of giardiniera because I will get it anytime I see it available and I inhaled it - I need to know if I can by it by the vat instead of the side cups because it too was similar to what I can find at home (about practically nowhere out here) and amazing!! I'm still upset I didn't take pictures though!
