One of the best prosciutto sandwiches I've ever had.

Karen Locke

Love the banh mi. At first I feared it would be too simple but the meat is what makes it. Staff is fast and friendly!

Ken Hansen

Good food

Dawn Tower

Excellent, creative salads. I was excited to see more than one on the menu.

Pork products and sandwiches are great.

JF Pinguen

Loved these guys since before they got a brick and mortar location. Great product, unpretentious attitude. Pork doesn't come better than this.

Taylor Giles

Great pork sandwiches.

Jackson Curtin

6/5 starts if possible

We love this place. Such a variety of pork products.

Jorge Chavez II

Nice variety of personal little pies, big pies must be ordered in advance and hand spun milkshakes, cordial staff and cozy atmosphere. I was happy

Dave Klein

Yummy! Finally a genuine fresh sandwiche deli here in Portland!

Jeff Davenport

Driving from Seattle to Dallas Oregon, we wanted to experience a Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives spot. Stopped in to Tails & Trotters! OUTSTANDING experience. The staff and the the food was 5+ stars. everything pork related was available and deliciously luscious and flavorful. A must eat.

My goto for anything pork - their prosciutto is top notch as well. Also, their sandwiches are excellent and the Cubano is a must try!

Tom Sollitt

They deserve their high review rating. This place is beloved by my two roommates who are chefs. I’ve had the pleasure of eating their reuben sandwich. I didn’t even take the time to photograph it. It was greasy, fattening and I could taste the quality. It was slightly heavier fare than I normally go for but I a treat. I will be making it a regular spot for sandwiches in the future.

Richard Bolt

Dropped in on my way to Uno Mas. Tons of great meat cuts including excellent hazelnut pork chops. Good selection of mustard, sauces and other meat toppings. Sandwiches and drinks to go.

Spencer Ravsten

Great products and customer service.

Mmmm, sooo good. Nom nom nom nom

These guys are the best! The ham is sublime. Every time I go in I have to get a few ounces sliced thin to take home. I let it sit on the counter until it gets to room temperature and then I eat it by itself. It is simply amazing. The sandwiches and everything else they sell is fantastic as well. So glad they are back, with a better layout and upgraded interior to boot!

Brandon Keenan

Wow. Incredible sandwiches from this spot. We got the Mortimer and porchetta and both had very unique flavor profiles. The porchetta was my favorite with an excellent blend of spice with the pork flavor and the shaved crisp lettuce which put it over the top. I can see why they are so popular. Definitely would come back in the future.

Cody Willets

One of the better places to not only grab a meal in Portland, but get really good food to cook as well. I just wish they would stay open longer, but it's not exactly a restaurant per say. I'd love to see them expand their menu too, but everything I've tried so far has been very high quality. Their pork is very high level, so if you're going to get anything - I would start with that.

Update... Raising one star again for their impeccable customer service! It's rare that you get a company that will stand by their product as well as their customers feelings!! On s holiday weekend, to address my needs and concerns says alot. I'll be using my refund towards my next tails and trotters visit and will give them another chance!!

Phil McCary

Excellent sandwich. Eat here. You will be happy you did.

Jim Flores

I have been out to Tails & Trotters twice now. 1st sandwich was the Grinder, for a cold sandwich it was delicious. Just today before my departure I went in for a Breakfast Ruben, they don't serve breakfast ... but the Ruben is sublime... wow. Definitely a must try if your in the area, or even if your within 25 miles of the place.

John Deodato

Pork Paradise is at 24th & Sandy, this place is the best! I used to stop by 2-3 times a month for their pork chops, sausage, bacon, and an occasional sandwich. Then they had the fire last year, and I freaked out until they announced they’d rebuild. After a year of pork withdraw, thank God they’re back in business, and better than before. Everything Aaron and the guys at T&T’s make is fantastic, off the charts good, did I mention the prosciutto?

Stuart Sequeira

Best bacon ever!

Bob Johnson

Picked up a few things there on Saturday. The first was scrapple. I was so excited to see they had scrapple, it is inner of my favorite things hands down. I couldn't wait for Sunday breakfast. Boy, was I disappointed. The consistency was all wrong, there were big chunks of meat throughout the loaf. Made it nearly impossible to slice thinly. The seasonings were not close to traditional at all, it should have been called onion loaf. We also picked up an inside ham for Easter dinner. Now that didn't disappoint. I'm sure it was the best ham I've ever had. Juicy and tender, and more flavor than one would expect. It was on the pricey side, but worth it. Doubt I will ever again buy a ham anywhere else. Just wish they would fix the scrapple.

thomas gee

Just ate here for the first time. Had the Cubano and it was spectacular. Only qualm, is the price. $12 for a sandwich, while not surprising in Portland, is still steep.

Jeremy K. Spencer

Easily the best pork in Portland. Delicious sandwiches etc. Very highly recommended. —a southerner who has judged the international barbecue championships in Memphis

Bobby Forks

Seen the place on Tv was so excited to have some purpose fed pig. ordered six racks of ribs for a party, went to pick them up and they had no meat on them??? Still paid, went else where to get ribs with meet on them cause of the size of party. After all said and done there was enough meat on a half rack of ribs to make a half sandwich. Very disappointed. However The shop had many other very good looking meats that looked delicious.

Andrea P

How can I put it other than.......well, you will lick your fingers and the plate and every last morsel. Tails & Trotters make the best Ham ever. The quality and the taste show how much care goes into producing such a masterpiece and it is by far the best Ham that we have ever tasted.

Todd Vogt

Exceptional!

Jose Elias

Great place!

Jacob Gorny

Great sandwiches and cured pork selections.

Erik Regelein

Sandwich was not good, too expensive. The meat was dry and lacked flavor, the bread was hard, the toppings were not fresh and uninteresting. If I pay 10+ dollars for a sandwich, I expect it to actually be good. Which it wasn't, at all. I've honestly had better sandwiches at Subway.

LMB ZX

They claim that the pigs they use are fed hazelnuts. When asked how much and for how long, I always get a vague answer. So being a suspicious guy I guess each pig is given one hazelnut before slaughter. Fried some of their bacon along with some from Olympia Provisions. Asked my sister to taste both and she said the bacon from Olympia Provisions definitely tasted better.

Travis Hultquist

Heavenly.

Benedict samson

Food is good to great, variety of items, good short beer list. Relaxed vibe. Glad they're back.

Joel Augee

Had lunch there today. Roast Pork sandwich and it was tasty (the fresh veggies, the pickled fennel -- just perfect), plus a side of slaw that was amazing. I love the atmosphere and the friendly staff. I'll be back soon for dinner provisions.

- Porchetta - Bowl of pozole

leila adjeroud

I am an Italian girl who has worked in norcineria since a long time and I can only say that the REAL PORCHETTA IS NOT THIS cause the ingredients are: fresh garlic fresh rosemary White wine salt and pepper consists of pancetta and inside the sirloin and is tied by hand and put in the oven to cook for 4 hours without sauces and without anything the PORCHETTA is one and only one and it is a purely Italian dish like pizza, pasta, parmigiana,tiramisu,pie, ect... here in Italy nobody revisits American dishes but in america all to revisit OUR DISHES call it bacon and sauce not porchetta

Michelle sung

I love all kinds of meat butchery and sandwiches from those butcheries! I had pork porchetta sandwich and it was okay. It was little bit drier than I expected. I tried their sample pate and it was amazing. I will be back for something with pate next time :p. The atmosphere and the service were great.

B Evans

Wow

Rick Glos

I return over and over to stock up on the excellent bratwurst and custom sliced bacon.

B Baggins

This is the best ham that is made in Oregon. It may be the best ham made in the U.S. Expensive and worth every penny of it. Update: I'm sorry to say their quality has deteriorated it's not what it used to be. No longer worth the price.

Jaxon Watson

It's really good

Pete Morgan

Marvelous sandwiches

Berry Toland

Awesome food and service. Will definitely go back.

James Stroder

Damn.... that says it all. I've had 2 sandwiches and both were great. Right now I'd say the Cubano is the one that hit the spot the best. Looking forward to trying more.

Karen Schletz

If I could rate this place higher, I would! These folks are doing it right - deeply respecting the animal, and the resulting flavor and texture and quality are amazing. The sandwiches are creative and absolutely delicious. The pate, salami, mortadella, loin and cappacolla are vastly superior to anything we've found in the US. Glad they're on the way to the airport. We'll be taking some meat home!!

Tiffani

I had the Mortimer. It was incredible. It was one of those you get sad eating it when your half done..because you only have half left. If it wasn't so spendy I would have gotten another one to go for later. I am sure all the other sandwiches & meats are good but next time I go I'm pretty sure I'll get the Mortimer again.

David Littlewood

Great "porkstrami" and Swiss on rye with a side of slaw, friendly service, pleasant place.

Paul Dixon

I only managed to get here once, just before the fire. Sadly I couldn't wait the 30-odd minutes for a sandwich, but did buy some nice thick British style 'back bacon'.........and oh my word it was brilliant. I am not a 'foodie' and typically find all this "with a hint of XXXX" stuff just passes me by. But you seriously could taste the hazelnuts that the pigs are fed. Okay it was expensive ($8 for 6 rashers), but it was so, so good. Please open back soon!

Fran Guidry

Every time we visit our friends in Portland we're blown away by the food scene, and we live in the SF Bay Area. This time we stopped at Tails & Trotters for a ham. If you examine labels on ham-like products in most grocery stores you'll notice that actual unqualified "ham" is rare or non-existent. The folks at T&T handed over a gorgeous 6 pound cut of cured and smoked pork leg that has absolutely ruined me for any lesser ham ever again. Now I wish I had bought lots more of the stuff they had available. I called up T&T just before Christmas and got easy but detailed advice on cooking the ham. I used a braiser with the lid on at 300 for 15 minutes a pound then top off, glazed, blasted at 450 for 10 minutes to brown and crisp the glaze. I'm getting hungry describing it.

Samuel Fout

Just plain delicious

Nathan Lindblom

Best pork and sandwiches in the city

Jack Repenning

The hazelnut finished porks are awesome! Prosciutto sandwich was a delight.

Mary Torkelson

Grab a sandwich or buy some of their pulled pork and make a sandwich at home. A variety of pork selections are available here in this sandwich shop/butcher shop. The pulled pork is delicious and you can have a glass of wine too. There are 4 or 5 tables and about 10 seats in a friendly & clean establishment

Samantha Flanagan

Get the pork belly! You won't regret it! Soooo good!

Jared Wangenstein

Fantastic quality! With exceptional food and a friendly staff Tails and Trotters is easy to recommend.

Heather Skeehan

The prosciutto and copa are both stellar. And their pepper bacon is fabulous.

Chris Maycumber

Came from Kansas to visit this place. Everything I tasted was excellent!

MikeMaryOwen Wiley

11 yr old states '"I feel bad for you. This is the best sandwich ever." That is a pretty big compliment.

Toby Schmitt

Had the cubano. Amazingly good!
