Good good, poor service

by joanre101

I have been going to the Elephants Deli for years, since I first moved to Portland fourteen years ago and lived in the Uptown neighborhood.

The service there has ranged from indifferent to unacceptable. On a couple of occasions I have walked out the door without what I came for, swearing to myself that I would never come back. Some of the employees seriously need to get over themselves.

The food is invariably good, sometimes excellent. That is what has kept me coming back occasionally.

I won't be a regular until their customer service comes up to an acceptable level, and that's not likely.

• Pros: Food ranges from good to excellent
• Cons: service is heinous

A new favorite.

Today I went to Elephant's for the first time. I'm new to the neighborhood & every single time I've mentioned my new location Elephant's has been brought up and raved about!

My husband & I decided to try it this evening, and let me tell you - we will definitely be back. They have a great selection of unique drinks, candies, breads & cheeses. We ordered some calamari & sliders and they were delicious! The sliders were AMAZING.

The staff was more than helpful! I have no complaints at all. The wait for food was a little lengthy, but that's about it.

• Pros: Different, Delightful & Delectable.
• Cons: Busy.

great spot for an easy dinner!

by artistannie

i love the fact that there are so many choices... i never get tired of eating here. they have the best grilled shrimp at the deli counter, that i tend to get with a side of grilled vegetables, or maybe noodles. their soups are delicious as well - always a great selection - hard to decide!

it's also great to get things to go when you don't feel like cooking, but don't feel like dining out.

great, great food!

• Pros: great selection
• Cons: none
