This little sandwich shop/butcher shop has been on my list of places to try for a long time. We finally made it!From reading Yelp reviews I got the impression the sandwiches were going to be huge, so my husband and I split the OG (pastrami in a bahn mi style with chili oil & hazelnuts). It wasn't quite that big but it was ok. It left room for a new gelato place we wanted to try after lunch.The space isn't very big and the tables against the wall are wedged so close together that we didn't attempt to sit at one of the empty tables for two. It would've been impossible. I felt kind of bad taking up a larger table since there were only two of us. I enjoyed the OG. It wasn't your typical deli pastrami sammy. The chili oil gave it a spicy edge. I liked the bread too, which was warm even though it's listed as a cold sandwich on the menu.

The reason I gave this place a 4/5 is because the food was amazing, but the person taking our order just seemed very bothered and was not that welcoming. Seemed a bit uptight as it was our first time there. The atmosphere of the place was pretty nice, very high ceilings. The seats were a bit cramped in there, but since it wasn't too busy it didn't bother us that much. The sandwhich that I got was "the toro." I would absolutely come back here again for their sandwhich. Their habanero lime sauce was also very good. They had a nice variety of wines to choose from as well.

A friend took me here because I love a good sandwich.I ordered The Hannah because it has olive tapenade on it.Olive tapenade is normally made with minced olives, but I enjoyed that this had large pieces of olives in it.I was really hungry but couldn't finish the sandwich.It felt like they put half a pound of lunchmeat on it!I look forward to returning.

They have two bread options and were out of one the day we went but didn't matter. Tried the meatball sandwich which has sliced meatball meat and lots of slaw and some cheese. Husband really enjoyed it. I got a chicken and bacon sandwich, I left off some of the toppings and they were okay with that. Good quality meat and it tasted good. Generous sized sandwiches but did finish them. They don't offer half sizes. The only thing that could have been better was the service. That day they didn't have a dedicated person taking orders. So you had to wait for one of the two people prepping food. The guy who took our order was moments before handling raw chicken. I am sure he washed or removed gloves or something but just wasn't efficient and the line was growing. Nice space inside to sit and eat. Will come back again and then walk around on Alberta street again.

I believe my favorite sandwich shop. I have tried 3 or 4 now and all have been bomb. The cold sandwiches start around $14 and it's 2 or 3 more bucks for hot sandwiches. I started with the OG Bahnstrami Sandwich, which I very much enjoyed though I thought it was a tad too saucy. I have also tried the Cubano, Toro Braised Beef Adobo, and one of the cold ones that was like an Italian. I also tried a bite of their burger which was thick, juicy and amazing. All of them were excellent but I think I prefer their cold sandwiches a bit more and still have several sandwiches left on my list to try. The inside is pretty small, like a clean cafe and is always bumping some classic golden era hip hop. You order up at the front counter and they bring your food out. They have WiFi but it's spotty a lot of the time. Overall, great sandwiches and beer, and you can also buy meat or sausages to take home as they are a butcher shop.

Can't believe I'm dropping $16.50 for a sandwich, but when I read this one year from now that price will probably be considered the norm.This is an upper echelon sandwich spot as it's also a mini butcher shop. I enjoyed the The Toro - braised beef/adobo - it was mouth melody good. I do wish the Dos Hermanos bread was more toasted though.The bigger star of today's experience was the half lard, half butter chocolate hazelnut cookie. Oh my, one of the best I've had! And the $3.50 price is actually close to value.You scan a QR code for the menu and get your own water and utensils. And sometimes they have sides, sometimes they don't. It's a pretty people on laptops kind of place.Sit at the window for a scenic eating experience.

I'm always on the lookout for a great sandwich and on a weekend day I stopped at Pasture. Pasture operates as butcher shop, serves hot and cold Sandwiches, and has some awesome natural wine bottles for sale. I got the CAReuben, their Reuben sandwich and it was divine. The pickled carrots and pastrami was delectable. I would highly recommend it. Additionally, the service, ambiance, and location make this place a must visit.

Cute little butcher shop in the heart of Alberta Arts District. The shop is always well kept, and the owners are very friendly and give great customer service. Their sandwiches are delicious, you can't really go wrong with any that you order though I always get the meatball sub. Their cuts of meat can be pretty unique, and the sausages and brauts are great to take home for a quick meal.I also recently went to one of their butcher classes, it was amazing! We had a delicious dinner, got to take part in a butcher tutorial, and were given some cuts of meat to take home. It's a great gift idea! Overall, I highly recommend this place!Pro tip: check out their Instagram account for pertinent updates. They are good about notifications.

These might be the best sandwiches in Portland. I love their take on a Bahn Mi, their pastrami being my favorite. I also ordered a chicken Bahn Mi, which didn't disappoint. It's a casual butcher shop, so everything feels super fresh and folks behind the counter are very attentive. Officially my favorite local sandwiches.

The best sandwich shop in Portland! It's a 2-person show and these folks are working their tails off. Fantastic, clean, little, new Portland butcher shop serving the best sandwiches in town. For the eaters of meat, of course -- it's a butcher. I've eaten every sandwich on the menu, including the one-offs. They don't know how to make anything but remarkable sandwiches. Go! Often!
