Portland Kettle is a family run small business right in the business district of downtown Portland. They serve a variety of delicious soups and sandwiches. I ordered the sandwich combo which is a half sandwich and soup of your choosing. The sandwich was delicious and savory and packed with pastrami, I was surprised it was considered a half, the chili is really good and was very filling. The only downside is that it was a bit dry as if it was sitting for a bit, but delicious nonetheless.

What an amazing place. As a former New Yorker, it’s so hard to find delis like this out west.

Great pace for soup and sandwich. Soup isn’t salt like some places. Blues playing in the background. Corned Beef Sandwich and Chicken Noodle soup was excellent.

New favorite joint. Best clam chowder ever. Don’t tell the restaurants I’ve had it in in Boston. Great owners. 1950s Blues Music. Highly suggest. Off of 3rd between Columbia and Jefferson. Downtown on SW side.

My soup here was pretty unpleasant. We had high hopes with how busy it was, but I’m assuming it’s busy out of convenience for the office buildings nearby. My soup had a really strange taste to it and it was very off-putting. Maybe it was just a bad batch? Or possibly some of their other soups are better? Either way, I will be trying other places for soup before coming back here.

We walked here from our hotel because we were cold and really craving soup. The food was so good, and large portions. Everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was awesome and let us sample soups and gave us recommendations.

Well while I love to support mom and pop places, this unfortunately doesn’t get positive points. First off the sandwiches are way overpriced. I’d rather pay less for less meat. Most fell out when I took a bite. And if you want to charge $12.95 for a round sandwich you should include bread options, more veggie options, more cheese than just Swiss or American and maybe chips as a side instead of just slaw. But two more upsetting matters- I found a fly in the sandwich about half way thru it fell out with some of the meat and cheese and the male making my food appeared to have dried blood around the cuticle of his thumb and had no gloves on while making the food. So I’d advise against getting food here, sadly disappointed.
