Reviews for Portland Kettle in Portland, OR
Food is pretty good but they often don't use gloves when preparing the food. On 2 visits, they didn't use gloves, touching my... bread with bare hands, even grabbed a cornbread slice with bare hands. They are super nice so I went back the second time hopingit was a one time thing like maybe they were out of gloves (they were right there on the back counter) but they did it thesecond time, so I probably won't go back. 4 stars because they are super nice, food is good, and maybe you don't mind the barehands thing?

A friend and I were in Portland for a concert and ended up eating at Portland Kettle. Best decision ever! The owner and the... other worker there were so friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I had never had a pastrami sandwichbefore and wanted to try it since that is one of their specialties. It was to die for! Great prices. Great food. Read more
Well while I love to support mom and pop places, this unfortunately doesn?t get positive points. First off the sandwiches are... way overpriced. I?d rather pay less for less meat. Most fell out when I took a bite. And if you want to charge $12.95 for around sandwich you should include bread options, more veggie options, more cheese than just Swiss or American and maybe chips asa side instead of just slaw. But two more upsetting matters- I found a fly in the sandwich about half way thru it fell out withsome of the meat and cheese and the male making my food appeared to have dried blood around the cuticle of his thumb and had nogloves on while making the food. So I?d advise against getting food here, sadly disappointed. Read more
New favorite joint. Best clam chowder ever. Don't tell the restaurants I've had it in in Boston. Great owners. 1950s Blues... Music. Highly suggest. Off of 3rd between Columbia and Jefferson. Downtown on SW side. Read more
Best clam chowder I ever had! The cornbread was delicious and though a turkey sandwich is basic it was amazing! The best oven... roasted turkey! My granny would love these sandwiches; they're packed with meat and the bun is lit. The customer service wasspectacular! Thanks to the mature gentleman and lady who greeted me, as well as the cheese specialist and cashier! I'm here fora hiking trip and I'm sad I can't grab any food to go! The chowder is life! Read more
Went for the first time craving some comfort food and a good bowl of soup, glad to say those cravings were more than satiated.... Really reminds me of the local deli you go to growing up for a friendly atmosphere and delicious, affordable bite. Portions aregenerous and the food is great. Highly recommend the chili and corn beef sandwich. Read more

Delicious homemade soups, very friendly staff. My pastrami sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. Felt like grandma was... feeding me. My girlfriend and I entered to escape the rain and the food here was perfect to warm us up. I highly recommendsupporting this restaurant. Read more
