"Where the locals are eating." While its true that the Peninsula is inundated with great places to eat, some are more apt to be tourist hubs than others. The Crooked Mile, with its unassuming storefront and location that is *just* far enough away from Market/Exchange/Middle, humbly serving up some of the best breakfast sandwiches to be found in Portland AND, I propose, the best salads. (Their sandwiches, soups, and cafe drinks are lovely too. The cookies! Soft, chewy, home-y.) The layout is a tad awkward, with a line of lunch-breakers (or pre-workday-ers) that often reaches the door. The seating is at a premium; however, your first bite of a sausage-egg-cheese sandwich or crisp cucumber slices will reveal precisely why this place is busy. It deserves to be. The salads and sandwiches range in the $6-7 range and are generously portioned (I am a glutton and I could happily split a salad from here) and always have fresh-tasting ingredients. The plating is top-notch. Thank you, Crooked Mile, for doing what you do!

I went in and was barely acknowledged by the 2 employees there--it was about 4PM on a Friday afternoon. The girl working behind the counter looked sad and miserable and did not make eye contact. No one asked me if I wanted to order, so I walked right back out the door. There were no other customers present and no one said anything to me before I walked out. Was really excited for a sandwich but felt so uncomfortable with the vibe. Someone give the sad girl a hug! Or tell her not to bring her issues to work.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch- his cranberry chicken bog sandwich was pretty good but my curry chicken salad sandwich was flavorless! The coffee tasted burnt and like church coffee, but they had great iced tea and lots of flavor to add, which was was nice. The staff clearly hated working there and were not pleasant to interact with. I would definitely recommend going to another sandwich joint if youre looking for lunch.

This is the first time Ive tried the Crooked Mile (I work in the Old Port) and I was very impressed! The sandwich I ordered (the Jersey Joe Italian) was delicious and the ingredients felt high quality. The service was fast and friendly. I would highly recommend this spot to friends.

They really do have the best breakfast sandwich in Portland (that Ive sampled, at least). And compared with the portion size, its a better deal that the sandwiches found at many breakfast chains. What else is there to say: it pays to buy local!

Had a wonderful snickerdoodle latte. It was the best coffee Ive had since moving to Portland a week ago, and weve had a lot of coffee! Also had an absolutely delicious bacon egg and cheese muffin. Divine. Will be back!

I love to stop by on my way to work and get an everything bagel with their veggie cream cheese - which is really plain cream cheese with veggies heaped on top! less than $4.

The person taking the orders was rude and all around unpleasant. I find it strange that such a great restaurant would hire someone like that.
