The Best Philly Cheesesteaks in Portland, Oregon | Eater Portland

"With a simple menu that declares the cheesesteak is sovereign here, Grant’s has been offering Portlanders a taste of Philadelphia since 2003, in its charming original location on far Northeast Sandy as well a newer outpost in the Alphabet District. Cheesesteak options range from subtle cheese variations to more daring alternatives like the fajita-and-cream-cheese cheesesteak. Unlike some local rivals, the cheese is dealt with a lighter hand, letting the seasoned beef and other toppings sing brighter. For dessert, Grant’s offers Philadelphia’s own TastyKake products, like its Juniors and Kandy Kakes." - Nathan Williams
