Had a quick bite to eat here while meeting a friend from out of town who was doing some biz in this neighborhood. I’m pretty leery of places in Portland that have the word “Deli” in their name; here it can often mean “lottery games and hot dogs,” but such was not the case today.
Tubby’s is a casual service breakfast and lunch joint with daily specials; the serve the working stiffs in the area, it seems.
My pal went for one of the specials, prime rib French dip, and I opted for the bacon cheeseburger.
I didn’t ask about any of the origin of the ingredients, though I saw empty boxes in a back hallway from IBP, and that’s premium product. The counter person asked me what I wanted on that, and few places do that anymore. There was a wide variety of sides choices, fries, tots, slaw, salad, etc. I went with fries.
It’s a good “classic” hamburger, if you’re sorting into categories these days, like the Oregonian.
And yes, I’d stop back, if I happened to find myself in that neck of the woods again.
