Snappy's

I wish I could say I’ve tried a variety of items on this menu before reviewing, but I’m absolutely enamored by their B.L.A.T. and haven’t been able to stray yet. Perfectly toasted sourdough, a big ol’ thick slice of heirloom tomato, and whatever herb-y mayo and mustard they use really set this sandwich apart. Somehow, one or two of those Heath Bar Crunch cookies will end up in my bag, too. Parking in this neighborhood is a bit of a nightmare, but Snappy’s is definitely worth circling the block a few times for. Eventually I’ll broaden my horizons and order a patty melt or something, but for now, my current choice is worthy of its own review.

Hey guys I'm i n the hospital across the street and my doctor said he was going to buy me a sandwich for lunch. It was i think an Italian. That sandwich was so good im dreaming about getting another one tomorrow. I have know idea how you keep the bread so crisp as you eat it. PURE HEAVEN. TOP NOTCH ALL THE WAY . THANK YOU FOR YOUR PERFECTION!!!!

Patty melt was made to perfection 👌 and they have a tiny restaurant IN their restaurant 😂💖

We had the turkey club and it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever eaten! The bread was perfectly crispy but not overdone. The sandwich was stuffed with turkey lettuce and tomato. The sauce was a perfect combination of delicious. I highly recommend every sandwich lover try this place. The cookies were delicious as a bonus treat.

It was three of us visiting this little place for lunch. Each of us had a different sandwich and we shared curly fries. Everything was spectacular. One of the best sandwiches in town. The place is basic so don’t expect any fancy atmosphere. It is a sandwich shop. It shares entry with other two restaurants so it is nice place for community to get meal. The bummer is if the door is open and it is cold outside the place is not cozy. Not really the problem of the restaurant. Again, these guys know how to make a good sandwich.

Great sandwiches in a cool space. I think this counts as hole-in-the-wall because it really is a bit hidden being nestled between other shops. The interior is super small, but is a very chill place to eat your sandwich if you can grab a seat. Also, props for the Raising Arizona poster and VCR playing As Good as It Gets in the corner.

Awesome food, and cool looking place to get it. The parking is sometimes difficult, but circle the block a bit and it's also a good idea to call in the order so if you do have to double park or something less illegal you can get your food and bounce. I highly recommend the 4 pointer sandwich btw😁

I had the Trilogy sandwich—solid choice with great flavor and fresh ingredients. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the cookie was a nice surprise to round things out. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

Special today: You Shucks this place was cute & did not disappoint! Patty Melt 4 ever! Don't skip the MF'in toffee cookie!! Will be back

IYKYK. Dear fellow chicken salad lovers, this is not the place for your chicken salad sandwich. Meat very sketchy ... some brown / some white ... weird fatty pieces. Mostly ... no flavor or distinction. I scraped it all off and ate the bread with a single slice of butter lettuce and a single tomato slice. F&B cafe use to have some the of most delicious chix salad ... long for something comparable. That said - my son had and enjoyed the BLTA. Wish I felt pull to try again ...ambiance is cute, but BLTs are hard to mess up.

Service was ok, nobody in the store but I still waited 15 minutes for my food. It was dead in there. Ambiance was 80s throwback with VHS tapes all over the dining area. Food was a little disappointing. The sandwich I bought was $14 plus a $2 tip. For the cost of the sandwich I expected more meat. The sandwich is definitely heavy on the lettuce filler. The flavor was good but didn't "wow" me. This is an average sandwich with a premium price. We won't be back.

I could've gotten a bigger sandwich from subway for less than $14. Over priced for basic sandwiches. I do have to say that staff is amazing and extremely kind.

I only had a hankering for three entries in the 2024 Portland Sandwich Week, Snappy's green chile egg salad, ham, and cheddar was one. They had already sold 45 on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. It was decent, but I probably wouldn't reorder. For one, the bread isn't warm. Overall, their sandwich offerings just aren't my thing as they are mostly deli-meat based. The place feels more chain than artisan. Strange as there were no condiments for dine-in, but they sold them by the bottle. Too bad customers can't sample as it was delicious. I'd return just to stock up on the sauce. The counter guy was very nice!

Always a solid spot with tasty sandwiches. I've been here multiple times and tried a few different things between Sandwich Week and other bites. Just had the Chicken and Veg recently which was perfectly savory with a nice mix of veggies. The artichokes made it sing!

Order: Turkey Club ($14), can root beer ($3), curly frys ($5), macadamia nut cookie ($3) total= $24 Pros: came to see what the hype was all about. The cookie was super delicious. Its like it had lemon and coconut in it. The curly frys are curly and was also good. The bread in the samdwich was decent. Cons: $24 dollars is hella spensive for the items I got. For $21 bucks I can get a giant sub, chips and drink from Jersey Mikes. The sandwich was just okay. The garlic aioli was overpowering the taste of the sandwich for me. It wasnt bad it just wasnt all that.

jalapeno poppers and turkey club - delicious, big sandwich. the ambience was fun, loved how close it was to washington park.

Snappy's is definitely one of the sandwich shops you will see pop up on yelp or be recommended by locals. It's moderately priced and has a fairly simple menu. It can be hard to find parking nearby, but it's doable. The sandwich shop is between two other restaurants a little sunk back. Ask people which line they are in to avoid wasted time. They participate during sandwich week and this last one was great! See in pics. I recently went to try a breakfast sandwich that was a special, but it was sold out when I went a little late that day. The Turkey Club I had was good and has more flavor than most thanks to the herb aioli. The bread is not super soft and a little on the crunchy/airy side. It feels light when you get the sandwich, but it's filling. Cool VHS tapes line the upper walls.

I've revisted Snappy's and while I enjoy their sandwiches I would not rate it as a must stop shop but this a spot that is more then then sum of it's parts. Solid service, nice fries, and a very cool interior. Highly underrated offerings for ice cream and sodas in their fridge too. Lot to love here. When it comes to just a sandwich the best for me right now is Baker's Mark

After reading a book set in 1980s Pennsylvania that repeatedly referenced Italian hoagies, I was desperately craving one myself. Then I remembered that Snappy's exists, and they delivered, in spades (not literally though, I went to pick it up myself). Granted, my experience was limited since I only tried the 4 Pointer (Italian-style sub sandwich) but it hit. Savory, with a punch of acidity from the vinegar, stuffed with fillings and sizable enough for two meals, making the $15 price tag well worth it. I immediately inhaled half, felt very full, and spent the next two hours obsessively thinking about eating the other half, waiting impatiently for my stomach to make room. I found myself in the area the next day and it took all of my willpower not to stop in again and pick up another. You know it's a sign of a solid joint/meal when you can't stop thinking about the next time you're going to eat there. Snappy's slaps.

Not much on ambiance, Snappy's serves some good food. Solid sandwiches. Good prices Attentive service.

Busy place , parking was tricky, food was & customer service was . New location opening up in a few weeks

Best fn patty melt in town. This patty melt is perfect. it's the sandwich of your dreams. This place continues to raise the culinary bar on sandwiches.

So excited to try but I got Day old bread ? Super bummer after all the positive reviews

Drinks: - Null Food: - The 4 pointer to me wasn't that great to me. It's a quintessential cold sub sandwich but maybe the pepperoncini overpowered the sandwich a bit (even though I like pepperoncini). - The Beef and Cheese was my favorite, what's not to like about beef and cheese? I mean this is a match made in heaven. The horseradish cream and fried onions just take this sandwich to the next level. This is a must get for me - The Spicy Sausage Marinara was textbook flavor wise. I wished the sausage had more of a bite to it. The sausage in this sub was a little soft for my taste but if you like it that way then you'll like this sub. Ambience: - I loved all the VHS tapes on the shelves lining the walls of the place - Their food selection is so unique and there's something really aesthetically pleasing about their fridges. I think it's the way it's organized that caught my attention - They have a small TV in the corner of the room playing old VHS films which was so cool to me - I loved all the vintage memorabilia on the walls, specifically the autographs of famous actors that have visited Overall: I didn't realize that this place is more like a bodega than a restaurant. There's no seating so it's pretty much only good for take out. The person taking my order was super personable and nice. We had a really nice talk, you can tell they care about their customers which I appreciate. The vibe of the place is just top notch. It's clean, vintage, has a bunch of interesting memorabilia to look at and admire. I will be returning for sure to try the other subs. The ones I want to try next are: the patty melt, the turkey club, and the pulled pork. I also remember reading a quote from the signed Charlie Sheen portrait saying "This place with blow you away, and trust me I know a thing or two about blow" (or something like that). That single line alone should tell you what this place is like.

Been there twice - one stay in and one take out. Great ambiance with retro 90s vibes meats deli counter. My fave was the albacore tuna melt and the combo sandwich with all the meats I forget the name, plus they have Good Pickle there and Utz chips. Service is great you order at the counter and take a seat or get it to go. You bus your own table. Heads up though - only 3 tables inside. It shares rental space with 3 other restaurants - I think it was Asian or Thai food. Little bit of everything for everyone. I'll be back.

I've heard a lot of good things about this place, unfortunately wasn't my favorite due to several factors. 1. There is no seating area inside of this shop. There might be outside but sometimes the weather will not permit for that, plus they share a space with a ramen spot so the seating is mainly for them. 2. The day I went they seemed to have been fully staffed. The shop wasn't busy but it took an average of about 40 min. to get my food, and whoever was working the register was incredibly rude Overall, this spot was just okay.

Great little sandwich spot I paid a visit to with the fam on Saturday afternoon. Interesting set up. It's in between two other food spots. Counter service only and self seating outside in a patio area they set up in front of the building. I ordered the The 4 Pointer which has mortadella, salami, soppressata, capricola, provolone, mayo, mustard, hoagie spread, lettuce, onion, tomato, and pepperoncini. Very tasty. Not much better then a nice cold cut on a Portland summer day. Will definitely be back soon.

Mando sando is this a tasty sandwich shop. I ordered the turkey club and was not disappointed. The herbed mayo on the sandwich with the vinegar and oil made every bite of this sandwich a thing of heaven, a perfect balance. I believe the bread is made in house and has the perfect balance of crunch and pliability that keeps you coming back for more scrumptious bites. For the price, the sandwich is a good size and was very filling. The staff is super friendly and they made my sandwich very quick. We live in Corbett and I would not hesitate to drive 40 minutes to pick up another sandwich from Snappy's. I cannot wait to try the other sandwich combos on the menu.

Note to the young employee behind the counter: When your kitchen help messes up the order and the customer asks if you want to see the receipt reflecting the correct order, you should never respond with "I can read.". Then, adding horseradish to the replacement sandwich just to be a jacka$$. F this place, it doesn't deserve one star. I'll never go back.

Loved the old school 90s vibe of snappys as soon as you come in. the aesthetic is really cool. sandwiches were a reasonable price and very tasty. i got the vegetarian option and it was super flavorful. their curly fries are also bomb. the employees were very friendly and thoughtful. only critique is that the bread was a bit stale. it was later in the day, though.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and we come from out of state, but we come to Oregon a few times a year. We knew that we had to finally try this place out and it did NOT disappoint. It was SO delicious. We ordered a Patty Melt and the Turkey Club and they were both AMAZING. Patty melts are one of my favorite things ever and this was probably the best one that I've ever had. Also, the Turkey Club is not something to sleep on. The sauce, the dressing, all of it together, it was AMAZING and so flavorful. Hands down some of the best sandwiches that we've all ever had. Will 100% be coming back here as soon as we are able to!

Ordered a patty melt about a hours before closing and the bread was not grilled and the burger was lukewarm I get trying to get out not to long after you close but I believe the first order to go out should be just as good a the last one.

Tuna melt? More like tuna ripped out my heart and tore it to shreds. No pickle in my sandwich? What the what. No flavor?? What the what. And don't get me started on the chimi chili ! more like the chimi chilly (NO SPICE). Like the name Snappy's and the shade of green they use throughout the store. Will probably not come back, not a serve. Service was kind and storefront is cute.

Amazing sandwiches !! This is by far one of the best sandwich shops in Portland. I had the grilled veggie one and I loved it so much! Such a cute little spot with a fun vibe.

Last time I tried to eat here, they ran out of bread. I guess that's a good sign. I got the spicy sausage. I felt I came at a not very busy time but my order still took longer than I thought necessary. I'm curious how quickly it normally gets done. The sandwich was plenty spicy as advertised. The sausage was tasty but a touch dry. Some of the dry herbs were a little too strong in the mix. The sauce was ok but I thought it could have used more. The sandwich is a mess but that's not a deal breaker. The bread was solid and the right substance for the sandwich. My issue was that the wax paper stuck to and took off all of the cheese. The cheese was delicious and necessary, but it just ended up being picked in small pieces. I could be convinced to come back Ave try something else. It impressed well enough

The 4 Pointer is the best Italian sub I've had so far in Portland! I'm originally from the east coast where subs/hoagies have their own culture and Snappy's is the closest thing to that! They even carry Utz potato chips (IYKYK)! Also tried the Veg Supreme and was equally delicious. Cj is the man ;) awesome customer service.

Tried 4 Pointers before I can grab a photo but the sandwich is good for what it is. I'm not really an Italian sub person but the proportion of meat to bread was good. Unfortunately I also had the Chicken & Rice next door while trying the sandwich and when the two are compared, prices seem to be hard to compare so that's why I'm docking a point. Besides that, cool place. I would come back to try other subs.

Very solid sandwiches. Super fresh. Great staff. Amazing sides. Highly, highly recommend.

I had the Spicy Sausage Mariana and it was awesome. The sandwich was fresh and the sausage and mozzarella were just perfekt. Took 10 minutes but it was fresh. It's a small place with a shared eating area which is shared with two other restaurants. Definitely worth a try

Portland Sandwich Week, my first time at Snappy's. So I haven't had any of their regular sandwiches, just the special and a soup, to go. Gotta say, Sandwich Week made me aware this place exists. I ride by it all the time, and I knew about restaurants on each side of it in the same building, but had no clue about Snappy's. It's retro, many reviewers note. But retro to what? Someone said '90s but I think maybe '70s is more like it? It feels like a chain, although it's not. The menu, graphics, even the name, all seem like something that could be duplicated and reproduced. But it has much better beverage and ice cream selection than any other sandwich shop! Hard to take your eyes off the coolers while waiting for your order. There are tables outside, a seating complex they share with the other two restaurants. I don't think there is any inside seating. The service was friendly and attentive. Their Sandwich Week special, Pastor Sandwich, was interesting but didn't quite work. It involved chunks of grilled, marinated pork on a soft roll, topped with chipotle mayo, a runny green salsa, and pieces of chicharron (pork rind) on a soft butter roll. The flavors went well together but there was one big flaw: the chicharron becomes soggy from all the sauce. I presume it was crispy when assembled, and the idea was you'd get the crunch. Now, I did take it to go. But I took it for only a 10-min bike ride, then maybe 5 minutes later I was tearing into it. And it's such a saucy sandwich, I think that chicharron would have lost its crunch within a minute or two after serving. The soup, pozole, needed salt and hot sauce. It tasted fine after I doctored it up. I would try this place again, even though I wasn't dazzled by the food on this visit.

Wow. So delicious. The veg, patty melt and Turkey were all so good we went back the next day. Highly recommend.

It's a really chill spot with nice food and very nice employees if you want a sandwich I fully recommend snappy's!

I had a brutal night and woke up and then sold my soul on a 16 mile run. I was looking for a sandwich savior. Sadly, it was just alright. Just not my favorite type of sandwich. I'll be back to conquer that patty melt tho.

First off...Patty melt all the way!!! Snappy's is a pretty cool food spot, it's hidden between 2 really busy restaurants and the decor is to die for. Really like the VHS collection and overall retro feel to the shops design. The food is nothing crazy new or innovative but that's what I love about this place. The foods tasty and it has an overall good vibe to it which I beleive adds to my favoritism. One critique I would say is maybe the sandwich to mouth time should be shorter but Ik it's impossible.

Service was quick! I loved the casual, take-out feel! It's perfect for grabbing something on the run! The veggie sandwich was just OK. I thought the artichokes didn't blend well with the other ingredients. The bread was tasty, and the sandwich size was good. I would go back and try a modification to that sandwich next time!

Ordered through DoorDash. The food was really good! Very generous portions, delicious, fresh bread and very tasty ingredients. Will definitely order again!

Had some mishaps with delivery so I didn't get to try their food super fresh or hot but even then I was very impressed by the quality and quantity of the food from Snappy's! The Tuna Melt was huge and they're very generous with their tuna here, it was practically overflowing with big albacore tuna chunks. The sourdough they used remained fairly crispy despite many hours of being out and not eaten (damn you grubhub...). I love the addition of celery and potato chips for the crunch. The sandwich was very toasty on both sides, which is how I like it. I'll definitely be back to try this fresh off the grill when I get vaccinated. I also got a box of the Crispy Wings in sweet soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Again, I doubt I got to try them at their peak form but the flavors were still good. Just wish I could have had them when they're crispy and hot... The package of delivery was very neat and secure, not just thrown together like with some places. Thanks for a super filling meal! Y'all are doing great.

Just went there today and the lady who took my order said it would take 10 minutes for my patty melt to be done. She took orders and delivered food to two customers before me and I was there before them. She needs to be fired, she then after giving the guy who came in after me his food, she just disappeared, she's terrible. And all the guys in the back just stood around talking and not even paying attention. I had to yell at someone and tell them "I need my order"!! Horrible service and the food isn't even that good. Solid 1/10.

When I pulled up to Snappy's I was pretty confused bc I've been to Nong's and Miruken countless times and never even noticed the was space in between both restaurants. The cashier steered me to the Beef and Cheddar sandwich, and I'm so glad he did. I'm usually not a French dip person, but this was one of the few I actually enjoyed and loved. The french roll was so perfect for the french dip. The exterior had a thin but crisp and crunchy crust and the interior was pillowy soft. The roll was substantial enough to hold up to a generous dunk in the au jus. I usually hate french dips bc a lot of the times the bread just disintegrates or falls apart after dipping, or the bread just soaks up too much broth and it becomes a really messy affair. Not here at Snappy's. The au jus was so damn delicious. It was an umami bomb unlike any other au jus that I've ever had. There was carmelized onions in it that added some depth, and I was curious if they might have added some mushroom powder to up the flavor as well. Everything worked really well together and the flavors complimented each other well. I don't know if I'll even work thru the menu here since I liked the beef and cheddar that much.

This place reminds me of my time in New York. The bodega old school décor and the sandwich options make me feel that type of way. They have like 10 plus sandwiches to choose from. I've tried a few and was happy with all of them. My favorite would be The 4 Pointer, yup I want it all. The sandwiches are big, very fresh, and inexpensive. Well done and very creative.

Alright, I'm from the East Coast, NJ to be precise so I have heavy opinions on sandwiches. So when you get to Portland and are trying to get a good East Coast style sub it's a bit of a chore and everybody loves to make sandwiches on "rustic bread" or whatever the hell out here. You got Taste Tickler, which is OG and you can't say anything about them (they are good though), then you got DeMarco's who I mess with heavy but there sandwich is alittle more like Italian Deli style and they use hard bread which isn't my go to. Then I hit up Snappy's... brahhh it's like a dope Quick Chek or Wawa's sandwich. The sub roll is like a thin and flaky shell and the flavors are great. I think they are sneaking up as my favorite sandwich in town. The cookies and soup are great too.

If you didn't know it was sandwiched (pun intended) between two amazing restaurants (Marukin and Nong's), you might not know of it's existence. You also will be missing out on one of the better sando places in town. Though it be small, it is mighty. I had the Beef and Cheddar and it was most definitely worth it. Cooked, sliced beef, with Tillamook extra sharp white cheddar with sautéed onions, fried onions and a horsey sauce. There was nothing wrong with it. Paired with Utz Crab chips (from PA) and it made my afternoon. Obviously, with the current times, they are to-go only and you can order in person, by phone or through third party delivery. The menu is eclectic, and they have a second business out of there doing chicken wings. I believe called Blazers Wings. So, support the little shops right now, they need our help the most. Enjoy.

It may be a little difficult to locate Snappys - but it's tucked away in the lobby between the ramen shop and Nong's. You can't miss the unique and retro decor!! I got the turkey sandwich and they graciously let me try some of their wings - both were absolutely amazing! I loved how the lettuce on the sandwich was tossed in dressing so it wasn't just a mouthful of bland iceberg lettuce. Nope. It was super flavorful! The wings were tender with the perfect amount of heat. A little kick without making you need water to cool down your mouth!

Holy mother of sandwiches! @makeitsnappys has the BEST Patty Melt in the city and you are probably sleeping on it. This tastes like French onion soup met a smashed burger The place opened up almost a year+ ago and @heysandi introduced me to my first patty melt ever. I do recommend splitting bc it is that rich, 100% cheesy, buttery goodness. Ketchup on the side makes for THE perfect bite

Traditional, simple sandwiches done right! Been here several times and every time is exactly what I want: crusty bread, balanced flavors (no 5lbs of mayo here), and quality ingredients. I love the 4 pointer but everything I've had is solid. Staff is always friendly, wait times are accurate, and they have a lot of drink options!

It might seem crazy what I'm 'bout to say Specials Board says "Grilled Cheese Today"  I'm a Hot Veg Supreme that won't go to waist  With the air like frigidaire, try Soup of the Day Because I'm Snappy  Clap along if Pharrell sings your favorite tune Because I'm Snappy Clap along if you feel like Snappiness is the truth Because I'm Snappy Clap along if you know what Snappiness is to you Because I'm Snappy Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna chew

Snappy's has debuted in the upper echelon of sub shops in Portland. They not only have the staples I grew up with, but they make the sandwiches with some finesse. East coast transplant here. Can't say how disappointed I have been by most sub shops in PDX. You'd think a sandwich would be a hard thing to mess up. With the food scene being so good PDX should have amazing sandwiches. Snappy's is a game changer. I like how they make the standards right. Nothing ultra fancy. Just damn good. We were going to eat at Nong's next door, but the wall of Utz potato chips drew me in. You haven't lived if you have never tried the crab chips. Portland finally has the hole in the wall sub shop we deserve.
