Knuckle Sandwich
📍 Address: 2137 E Burnside St, Ste D, Portland
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)
You know what you need? A knuckle sandwich. One of our favs! Yay! The days of cash only are over -- they TAKE CREDIT/DEBIT now!! Though the place seriously has a DUDE vibe (which is WAY better on the days when they play metal or classic rock than on the pop or trance days) we come as a family for lunch all the time. We LOVE it! Decadent, tasty old skool sandwiches (forget uber fancy ingredients) all served up on fresh Pearl bakery rolls and bread. We always want to branch out but I can't seem to get out of the clutches of the siren's call of the Burnside (House roasted beef, jalapeños, red peppers, cheese whiz, crispy onions and pickles) so delish. If you're like me and a total wuss when it comes to heat (though, I have toughed it out a fews times because the jalapeños do add an awesome kick!) you can order this without the jalapeños and get a mild version of this unforgettable sandwich. The tender au jus soaked beef and onion strings make this sandwich, as does the cheez whiz (sometimes you just need to go trailer park!) The hubs always gets the east sider (neck-and-neck with Bunk for the best Italian sub in town) it's sopresatta, capicola, proscuitto, genoa salami, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, roma tomato, red onion, pickle, olive oil, red wine vinegar and Mama Lil's Peppers all on a Pearl hoagie. (He hasn't been able to venture past this little baby either.) The fries are great, thin, crisp, served in a big basket and be sure to get the ketchup in the squirt bottle -- like old 50's diners serve -- allowing you to get the best ketchup to fry ratio ever in the history of man. The chili also gets high marks (though it IS spicy) it is big chunks of succulent beef, rich and yummy you can get it on your fries as well. Our kiddo gets the grilled cheese with cheddar & mozzarella and it is a real treat on their sourdough. In addition, to sandwiches they have burgers, breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, PB & J and even a burger with peanut butter on it. If you like down home, kick-ass flavor on your sandwiches, lug your cookies over to Knuckle Sandwich -- it'll knock you out!

Yes, I've been to Hoppdoddy Burger Bar. Yes the line for this place can look ridiculous. But Most of the time those lines are because the product inside is worth the wait. Here that's definitely true.

After my poor experience with them, Shan e Punjab not only returned my payment in full, but also sent me a fresh order of my previous one which was a wonderful surprise. I hope more restaurants can follow their example to rectify their mistakes. It's a wonderful way of redeeming themselves and keeping their customers happy.
Pho Van

I had the large N6 pho with very little meat. Lots of noodles though which i could not eat. Ingredients traditional but overall not worth the $8.50. Sandwhiches looked better for $4.99 and spring rill appetizer two rolls looked ok. I am still hungry. Should I get a sandwhich?! Place is clean, nothing special. Might try again but would not get pho. Would not recommend.
