Devil's Dill

My quintessential PDX late night sandwich spot. The sandwiches are always amazing even when it's not their best night. With it being connected to No Fun, some nights can be kind of crazy and you can see it on the staff's face. But fear not, just tip well (they like a variety of goodies if you're a fan of the barter system) and they tend to be cool and will hook it up. Either way, worth making it a part of your late night repertoire. Update: Service from the staff at No Fun is kind of hit or miss. If you get served by the guy who looks like Caveman Sam from Trailer Park Boys, check your change and be prepared to wait.

I would willingly throw up a $100 meal just to make room for one of these sandos, hearing the word “devil” in any context make my mouth water for the pavlovian response is real. If they called upon me, i would march into battle against any other sandwich shop in town. If i had a last meal on death row, it would be dealers choice off the menu here.

Part of Devil's Dill's charm comes from their unassuming punkrock store front. Write on the walls while you wqit for your dope sandwich Everyrhing here slaps. I get the #5 with a side of the sauted kale. My homie loves the #3 with the genuine german potato salad Because they are the good portal for the next door bar (NO FUN) they end staying open super late During the day, they are one of several excellent sandwich spots on the eastside, by midnight, they are the absolute best food in town

Updated review Aug 2023: Still the best sandwich I've ever had. Prices have gone up a bit but still worth the trip from Olympia, WA. Original review July 2022: Took a day trip down to Portland. While there got a recommendation from a local store owner saying this was one of the best sandwich shops in town. Being skeptical we hesitantly decided to stop by. So glad we did! One of best sandwiches we've had in a long time. The place is not much to look at. Just a hole in a wall along a busy street with many store fronts but man... what an experience! Had the pulled pork sandwich. Ciabatta bun, perfectly toasted. Meat was tender and super flavorful. The BBQ sauces wasn't anything I've tasted before. The slaw also gave a bit of sweet & savory crunch in just the right places. Unique flavor and spot-on for a pulled pork if that's what you are in to. Just a fantastic sandwich overall. Didn't care for the pickles although we could tell they were homemade. Nothing wrong with them, just not our taste in pickles. We asked the gentleman at the counter what his favorite is. Said the #5 followed closely by the #1- pulled pork. Although a bit pricey, still highly recommend this sandwich shop. The To-go menu flyers doesn't reflect their new prices so go by the pic I took of the menu inside the store.

Random sandwich shop pit stop. Hearty sandwiches for big size hunger. Same bread used for all so variance of ingredients is warranted otherwise the flavors all bleed together. Room for improvement all around, but appreciate their heavy use of kale and combos. No restroom, no water station. Counter service and HOT outside patio dining.

I’ve been coming here off and on for years now. My favorite and go-to is the No.4. They’ve always got pretty dope specials too. The prices are kinda rough but they make up for it in quality. You get what you pay for in this case I suppose. I take my friends here whenever I get the chance and show them just how bomb a sandwich can be. Cheers!
