I ordered a steak and cheese sub with waffle fries. The woman was very pleasant on the phone when I called and ordered. She told me it would be about 25 minutes and they were getting pretty busy at the moment.I arrived and was greeted by her at the counter, she again was very pleasant. The food was great! The steak and cheese was perfect, and you can’t beat there price!

Y'all out here blaming the price hike on renovation. Yes they're understaffed at times - JUST LIKE almost every business right now and maybe you all have your head in a hole but the price of doing business has risen and that price is reflected in every product you now buy. Ordered 4 steak and cheeses tonight - was advised of the wait and it came sooner than expected for one person running the bar and kitchen. Food was fire, prices still are reasonable and it's a chill spot with pleasant staff. Don't let ignorant people get yall down, you're killing it. 10/10 will be back

I miss Mellon st. But as always you revamped the store opened a bar. The prices went up and the quality went down.I used to frequent this place all the time and now I find an excuse to go somwhere else.Get back to your roots. Be the corner store. Not the bar.But remember "diversity is our strength" 🤣

Don't even bother. This place used to be the best local food spot in the neighborhood. Affordable, delicious food in a cozy old corner store. Then they renovated, jacked the prices up, spread themselves too thin, and the food suffered. Used to be able to get the best banh mi in town for $4.50. Now they're $7 and slimy and cold.Okay for a quick stop for some snacks or beer or household items. Don't bother with the food. The quality plummeted about a year ago. I used to be a loyal customer but I'm done with this place.

I come here on my lunch break a couple times a week. The gentleman that work here are SO friendly and welcoming! The customer service is definitely 5 star, I would rate higher if I could! :) As far as the food, I have only tried their pizza slices and they are amazing! I'm so glad this pace is here! Anytime I am in the area for lunch, this is my " go to" place!I recommend this place to everyone! :)

The food has been mediocre since the changeover, but it has somehow become way worse. Fries are no longer included so everything is more expensive, the fries themselves are literally inedible theyre so salty (and I like salt) and the bahn mi was the saddest thing I have ever seen. Burnt and had two bits of jalapeno, and one of those was a rotting end bit.Absolutely never again.

This place has gone downhill since the renovation. They won't even do large pizzas anymore, instead they would prefer to sell you a small frozen pizza for more than it's worth. Their snack selection has downsized, they can't seem to get a grip on their ordering, and it feels as if they prioritize their bar regulars more than other customers. Not to mention all the prices have been jacked up a ridiculous amount as if there wasn't a big apple or seven eleven right around the corners. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day has been ruined.

Great craft beer selection. If I want to try something new, Tim and Shawn always know what to recommend. I highly suggest grabbing one of their made-to-order Bahn Mi sandwiches. A great value and they’re really good!

Place is super laid back, and super decent food. I love to go just for the comfortability and fun easy going vibes. They have most everything you would ever want at a convenience store and restaurant. Guys who run and own this place are the real deal, they’re out here makin’ it GO! For the people! Great food for great prices and they keep a super friendly staff. Nobody is perfect but when you see people out there givin’ it everything they got, it really shows! Awesome energy and positive vibes!

This place has really turned around in the last 6 months. The food selection is top notch (AND CHEAP). The beer selection is the best around (AND THE CHEAPEST). And they even have the common fresh groceries. I’m really looking forward to what Shawn and Tim do with the new bar/restaurant slated to be coming in a few months. I assume it will be too notch as well.

Mellen Street Market has become my regular place to visit for a quick lunch. I must admit that the pizza is a reasonable price and also incredibly tasty. Banh mi Is an awesome sandwich also with a reasonable price and a fantastic taste. SUPER GREAT HUMBLE new owners and the store is packed with verities which I tend to find practically anything in there. As the store continues to expand and is becoming to be my favorite spot in portland for satisfaction guaranteed than any other corner stores. Definitely Portland's popular new addition!

Been here 3 times and gotten chopped cheese sandwich each time. The first two times it was great- cheesey and hot. Today it was dry and had ketchup on it. Hoping this was just a blip, because it's a great spot for decent drinks and snacks at a good price.

5 stars for the meatball subs. Holy heck they are so good. Giant flavorful meatballs & really good sauce. The bread is toasted with the cheese & the whole combination is nutso good. The meatball subs will have us back even more often than we usually come in.The bahn mi are also really good and a great deal. My vegetarian daughter is super happy to be able to get a good veg bahn mi in our neighborhood.However, I got a Cuban which I did not enjoy. It was made with big chunks of pork, no mustard (that I could see or taste) and had mayo on it (*lots* of hot mayo- yuck). The worst part is that it was not pressed- it was made on a regular sub roll and the entire sandwich was squishy, overly juicy, drippy & kind of gross. The first Cuban I had there awhile ago was pretty good, but the one I just got was not a Cuban, just a weird pork sub.Overall, the new owners seem to be making some good changes we are pretty happy with. The giant bottles of Orangina are bomb! Being able to get Hi-fi donuts so close to home is pretty great, too.

Truly unique little market near Deering Oaks park.You'll be lucky if you meet Tim, the charismatic owner, who wants...and is succeeding...at having a little something for everyone! I absolutely love the Vietnamese flair!And Sean, the manager, (whose food last year made Tomaso's one of the best dive bars in Portland) is a loving giant and a hell of a cook, serving up delicious and seriously loaded sandwiches to order, as well as fresh and new home-cooked dishes that change daily. The banh mi sandwich is divine, and Sean is always brining, marinating and slow cooking meats for his special sandwiches (turkey club, cuban, hand-made meatballs with fennel) to perfection. This is the place if you want home cooked food and serious value!The craft beer selection is always growing and the prices are the best in town!I can't wait for the bardega concept to open, as it promises to be some of the best bar food in town and a seriously fun and relaxed atmosphere.And have you had HiFi donuts?Ask Sean to toast one in the pizza oven for you ;)Also, I recommend adding banh mi garnishes (cilantro, carrot daikon slaw, and jalapenos) to all dishes.

New owners don't seem to know how to run the place. I got sick from a breakfast sandwich, then from a sub on another visit. They've made a lot of changes, one of which was to extend the hours which is *great*.HOWEVER, I just walked over and they were closed at 10:30 (supposedly open until 11pm). Which would have been super annoying anytime, but I am really sick and needed juice and medicine. Really wasn't up for walking in the cold, and to find them closed for no apparent reason is very frustrating.They also stopped taking EBT which is super lame for one of the only (sort of) grocery stores within walking distance. There are a lot of people who use EBT & don't have cars in the neighborhood, your business is not going to do well if you shut us out.(And did they really need to take all the pins out of the map? All the history of years of customers from all over the world, just gone. Super lame.)

The food by Ronnie Medlock at Mellen Street Market is UNREAL. Options on the menu include a wide range of anything inspired by Vietnam to Puerto Rico. NO PLATES MORE THAN $10. If you're looking for a bang for your buck, this place is dynamite for your dollar. Drinks stronger than your dad’s gym socks. Come support a local legend doing it right.

This is an awesome neighborhood market with friendly & helpful staff. The food is great and so are the prices. Well worth working into rotation of my favorite spots for takeout.

Good steak and cheese, but the menu says they’re $8 each and I ended up paying $26 for 2 not including a tip. Then I got home and they were tiny.

I'm not shopping here again until they actually enforce the mask requirement. The store is tiny and cramped, and I was the only customer wearing a mask despite signage saying people will be denied entry if they don't.
