Beaverton Sub Station

Beaverton Sub Station feels like the deli that time forgot. Tucked away in a two-block stretch of Old Downtown near a cobbler and a barber shop, there's a sign in the brick building's window advertising coffee for a quarter and regulars stop in not just to eat but to chat or read the paper. The sandwiches here are bookended with chewy yet not too hard rolls with the circumference of the thick end of a baseball bat. There are dozens of sub varieties, but the Smitty ($6) is a standout, with layers of thinly shaved turkey, cheddar, tomato and crisp cucumber that complements the pleasant tang from a cream cheese spread with a dash of dill.

GO: 12448 SW Broadway, Beaverton, 503-641-7827, beavertonsubstation.com, 9 am-6 pm Monday-Friday, 10 am-3 pm Saturday. $.
