I love this place. Phenomenal sandwiches, sometimes a bit of sass from the owner - and I honestly mean that in the absolute best of ways, hes kickass and pours his heart into his business. It shows. Best sandwiches in town, and straight up some of the best wraps Ive ever had, period.
Everything I’ve ever gotten here has been delicious! Ingredients are very fresh and very high quality. I’ve had the super veggie wrap, jerk chicken wrap, chef salad and the amazing corn muffin. Service is great and line moves fast.
Super busy about 45 minutes before closing, I even heard the owner/manager telling his staff to lock the door before closing time. Seems odd to turn away business but who am I judge. Waited about 30 minutes to place order but at least my husband and I were smart, we ordered cold sandwiches which took them no time to make. The chicken salad was fantastic, bread was good too. I would probably plan ahead and order online if I ever go back, seems like they make good sandwiches but they cant keep up with demand. I saw one staff member restocking bottles in fridge while others were running around crazy.
Best sandwich my family has had. Full of flavors, that are balanced well. We got Newbury, Reubenette, Southwestern, and Chicken Salad and they were all top notch. I usually dont usually leave reviews, but Im leaving review here because my family felt the need to put in effort to leave good words for this place! Also, the port right by the shop makes an scenic eating place!
Probably the best falafel, I ever had! Well worth the price.
Delicious and awesome order taker! Also saw how he motivates the cooks which is so important in these times! Would go again for sure!
Had a great experience here! Food was great and they even had healthy options that fit a Paleo diet. It was a really cute place!! I also love that it is near the water with beautiful views right outside.
We called with an emergency order last week. You kicked out lunch for 12 in minutes flat. Painlessly.Service: 5 Stars all the way.Lunch: Assorted, mammies, Delicious, as usual. We needed to feed some very hard working folks in Lynn, clock was ticking. You sprang to action.Thank you for making it happen.
Hubby and I went on St Pattys day to Port City. It was pretty busy when we arrived at 12:30pm so we got right inline while we checked out the menu. Hubby got turkey bacon sandwich, my uncle got and Italian and I got the special of the day St Pattys day Bomb. It was absolutely amazing!!! It was grilled chopped corned beef and shredded cabbage carrots potatoes and turnips I subbed American cheese for the Swiss. So so good and the portions are huge!!! I will definitely be back!!
I had the best sandwich. Real crabmeat. DELICIOUS
The quality of the food is excellent. I have loved every wrap and sandwich I have tried on the menu. My favorite right now is the teriyaki chicken wrap. It also has good portion sizes, and friendly and efficient service all done at a decent price.
Best sandwiches and wraps in the area 100%
Food was delicious. Great staff and friendly service.
Food is amazing!!! SOME of the staff aren’t the friendliest though.
The person who took our order was very fresh. When we asked what kind of bread they had he said look at the wall. Very rude
One of the biggest and best tasting egg and cheese sandwiches Ive ever had!
Ok food, high rent
Best sandwiches i have ever had in Newburyport. Had our order in 10 minutes and did not disappoint. This is my go to sandwich place for now on
Good quality food & fast service ! The only thing I can say is once in a while they don’t answer the phone. Other then that 5 stars seems like they got the operation down.
Great food and super friendly service
Solid wrap/sandwich shop. Highly recommend!
Stellar sandwiches and unique specials, a cant miss lunch spot!
I can’t say enough good things about Port City. I’ve been several times and have never been disappointed. My personal favorite is the chicken salad club on the braided roll. My fiancé got the meatball sub on the braided roll today and he gave it a 10/10, he’s Italian and VERY picky about meatballs and he couldn’t say enough good things. If you haven’t been to Port City you are missing out!
Rueben is the best.
Sandwiches were awesome; I had the West Newbury; turkey, bacon, Swiss on rye, pressed. Super quick, clean, great customer service!
Hamburgers Tuesday were terrific, and my granddaughter loved the grilled cheese sandwich. Nice folks and fast service.
Amazing sandwiches! My family got a whole array of their sandwiches from wraps to grilled cheese, and they were all fantastic.
Fast, simple, healthy, and delicious!This is a great place to go to just grab a good, old-fashioned, fresh sandwich! The staff is nice, the menu is extensive but easy to choose from, and they have you in and out the door in less than five minutes if that is what you need. I always get turkey and cheddar in wheat with spicy mustard, but the veggie wrap and tuna salad are good too. Cute and simple and easy plus great parking!
Amazing sandwich selection (along with soups and salads), blazingly fast service, and really COVID conscious! We got the gyro wrap, buffalo chicken wrap, and turkey chili, and all were simply perfect, juicy, and flavorful. The chili has a great kick to it! Our order was complete within minutes. Theres no indoor seating because of COVID, which is the smartest move Ive seen a restaurant take, especially since they have enough customers already and are right next to a park you can eat in (no outdoor seating because theres no space). Id definitely be back!
First Id like to thank MB for showing me this place even exists.This place is amazing great variety of sandwiches and wraps that taste great for a low price. Food was prepared faster than the guy could take orders, never seen that happen before and thats no blow at the guy taking orders, the kitchen is just unbelievably quick.
This was absolutely one of the most disappointing and downright oddest experiences I’ve ever encountered at a sandwich shop. The disjointed, inexplicably cumbersome ordering process, the lack of ordinary sandwich shop amenities (side orders, holds on certain ingredients, substitutions on menu items), and the palpable level of disinterest in creating even satisfactory dining experiences for patrons was astounding.Here’s a good example: I asked the clerk(?) at the register for a side of home fries to go with my breakfast sandwich once our party figured out where and how to order. The clerk hemmed and hawed and turned to the cook, who was no more than four feet away, and asked if that was possible. The cook responded by grabbing a large prep container full of home fries, holding them up in the air, shaking them once or twice and then declaring that she couldn’t “do a side because [she] only ha[s] enough for one more Megawich”. This, mind you, was announced as they were closing the breakfast menu and switching over to lunch.It’s that kind of disregard for customer service that makes folks cross establishments off their lists. It goes without saying, then, that my list for eating establishments in Newburyport is now more refined after visiting Port City Sandwich Co. I suggest you also refine yours by crossing it off your list, too.
Great friendly upbeat service. Sandwich did not disappoint either. Strongly recommend. Will definitely be back.
Ordered the Reuuben and the chicken parm to go, along with onion rings. The onions rings taste great, but the amount of grease in the bottom of the to go box was ridiculous.The Reuben tasted good, but the bottom slice of bread was a sloppy, soaked mess. I have had reubens before with both slices of bread firm. This is the first time a Reuben fell apart while eating because the bottom bread was mush. The chicken parm tastes good but again the sandwich is sloppy with everything oozing out of all sides of the hoagie roll.May try again, as there are no concerns about the quality of the ingredients, but for a sandwich shop to have mushy bread and overall sloppy sandwiches, is a bit disappointing.
Excellent sandwiches, creative menu well-executed by skilled hands.
Thank you for the wonderful job you did preparing everything for a rather sad day. The food was great. 😊
I love Port City and tell everyone about it. Usually there for a breakfast wrap, but today was lunch. They had a March Special for St Paddy’s Day. It was a corn beef melt etc...Delicious 👍👍
Ive tried 2 different sandwiches here so far and wow. Amazing. My first was the ultimate grilled cheese. Texas toast with a gooey mess of cheese in the middle. Simple yet tasted amazing and filled me up. The second was a Cubano sandwich. Not regularly on the menu so I kept my eye out for it and I was not disappointed! Fresh meats and cheese...full of flavor! A must go if youre walking downtown Newburyport!
This place has some of the best wraps Ive ever had. Whenever Im in Newburyport/ Ipswich for a beach day I stop by here to grab lunch. My go tos are: Jamaican jerk chicken wrap, southwestern wrap and thai chicken wrap and the prices are great too. Stop by here and you wont regret.
Loved the chicken salad melt that I got. Bread was buttery and toasted just right, with cheddar cheese melted in to give that rich creamy flavor. The chicken salad was plentiful and tasty. I tried the chili too which was on the beanier side and had a really nice growing heat to it. The employees here are some of the friendliest I have ever met. Its a small place but there are benches nearby for when its nice outside. I would absolutely come back for lunch again.
Bottom line: great food, served quickly. Port City is our go-to in Newburyport. On our last visit, we took our daughter and grandkids (area residents) for sandwiches and drinks that we ate in the adjacent waterfront park. Owner Tyke smiled behind his mask when he recognized our daughter. He remembered the boys standard order - two grilled cheese on white. The adults ordered three amazing crab clubs (crabmeat mounded high on ciabatta with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and guacamole). Im amazed at critics of the food; we have never had a bad food experience at Port City. Tyke is all business when the place is busy, so I can see why some people might feel slighted that they didnt get the level of personal attention they feel they deserve. I can say if youre ever there in a rare quiet moment, youll find he is a cordial and caring person.
Great sandwiches and location.
Good to great sandwiches. staff is friendly and helpful. just wished the parking was better.
We had Port City Sandwich Catering yesterday for our graduation event and it was fantastic! Tyke delivered, set up, and left us with big, full, super fresh delicious sandwiches and the most amazing Potato Salad and Asian Noodle Salad! His food was a huge hit! Thank you Port City for helping make this day extra special!
Great food, healthy options, good atmosphere. Food is a tad pricey but the quality and freshness absolutely make up for it. Guy behind the counter made small talk with us between giving orders to his staff and made us feel welcome, he seemed like he knew what he was doing and him and the staff had good communication. I will absolutely go back.
A great place for soup, sandwich and salad to go. You can sit and eat there however its small. It has become very popular for the locals and visitors alike. You most likely will be in a line to order, but it is worth the wait.
Went here twice in one day. Nice folks, quick service and great sandwiches. First went in for breakfast when my wife was running a road race (I think I recall I ordered the Capt Bob which was amazing). When we needed a lunch spot after she was done this was the no brainer choice and we sat on the water nearby to enjoy our sandwiches.
Probably the best place for lunch (quick or otherwise) in town. If you go in during lunchtime, expect to wait in line because it gets busy immediately after noon (try to get there at 11:45!) but also expect that line to move. Rather quickly. This is the only shop Ive found to rival Figaros in Boston for good food fast.Theyre incredibly efficient, far beyond any of the places that rely on POS systems, and their food is probably the most consistent I have ever seen. I think they even weigh out portions of different ingredients - if you get meat expect to get a solid serving of it. And theyre as friendly as busy, efficient people should be - dont expect a 3 minute conversation about hows your day, just smiles and a few casual comments.And if you like spicy, get the Southwestern wrap.
Fantastic assortment of delicious sandwiches and muffins! Highly recommend the beef stew and soups as well!
Friendly staff and good sandwiches. A very busy place so expect to wait a while for the food. The grill and the dinning tables are enclosed in the same space so the air quality was very poor. The best option is to grab the food and eat outside.
Great food at reasonable prices. No skimping on sandwiches or wraps. Gluten free options make it a favorite of mine.
Great food, amazing service! The staff operate like a Swiss watch. Fast, courteous, service, great menu, and amazing food. Be sure to stop in when you are in the area! Youll be glad you did! I will eat there again when Im in the area.
Very friendly and efficient staff. Wraps were delicious as well as sandwiches (5 of us were very satisfied). Clean and simple. Great quick stop.
That Dutch boy kept on flirting with my daughter. I decided to take matters into my own hands and bag him real quick. Also he ate all the profits.
Had the meatball and my daughter had the corn chowder with a veggie wrap. Excellent. Had a tough decision due to the menu board.So many good choices. I will definitely be back
Great service and staff! The food was delicious and served very quickly made fresh right in front of us. The owner took our order and was very enthusiastic and happy to serve us. Highly recommend for a filling informal relaxed lunch.
Hidden gem! This place was excellent. There were so many sandwiches that sounded good it was hard to choose! I got the chicken salad, the portion size was huge. My husband got a meat lovers breakfast sandwich, it was also huge. We would go back next time we are in the area.
Its exactly what youd expect, and wonderful for it. An unpretentious sandwich shop that has an extensive but not overwhelming menu of sandwiches, salads, soups, daily specials, and big tasty muffins.They have something for everyone from veggie lovers to carnivores, and enough seating to accommodate even the busiest times Ive been, but its right on the waterfront, so take it to go. As promised, my order os always ready in minutes flat.
We love this place. They know us by name, despite not really being regulars and my son requests to go their for the grilled cheese with bacon. Food is fantastic every time.
Been going here since they’ve opened. Always loyal to the jerk chicken wrap. It is amazing, however just tried the prime rib sandwich. There are no words to describe it.
Great people, Great food, Great environment. The homemade buffalo sauce is amazing and very hot. Will definitely visit again.
Solid sandwichs and wraps. I frequent here and havent had an issue
Just great! Wonderful variety of sandwiches with remarkably quick turnaround. Staff were outstanding as well.
Fantastic food but even more impressive was the staff. Friendly and engaging without overwhelming; absolutely great place for kids. I got a Tike special (whatever the staff felt like making me) and was not disappointed :)
The restaurant was very friendly and clean. Sevice was great. Sandwiches were very good. I would recommend take out because dining area is small and crowded
Really enjoyed the Falafel wrap and the staff was friendly even during an extremely busy lunch rush.
Everything is made to order and is always fresh I had a tuna on dark rye lettuce and tomato delicious
Very busy which means good!... right along the water to sit and enjoy your sandwich
Fantastic service!! Very good coffee!! Awesome breakfast sandwiches!
Amazing locally sourced selection. Great gluten free options. Sandwiches were absolutely delicious and the service was expedient. Parking is easy too.
Food is good, freshly baked items although I was not impressed with the staff. They seem preoccupied and hurried.
Good food. The host is never nice to people. I dont get it. Everything else is great!
Great food, fast service. Recommend the buffalo chicken wrap with their extra hot sauce. Okay amount of seating. Great area too.
Good sandwiches and fast service. The one thing they could work on is writing down orders so they dont get them wrong (has happened to me the last two times Ive visited).
Great, simple sandwich shop right on the water. Fast service and good prices. Easy to just grab a drink on a hot day or get a sandwich and sit at the picnic tables with a view of the bridge.
The crab blt is so good!! one of the best sandwiches ive ever had
Great spot! We were visiting in town, wanted to grab a quick bite to eat by the water. Tuna salad was wonderful.
Always quick and tasty. Real food makes all the difference. Love this place and so does my son!
Best sandwich on the North shore year in and year out
For a small sandwich shop, they had an enormous selection of sandwiches. And its, good too. I just had a chicken salad sandwich on white and a bottle of Dasani water, at a cost of $9.00 and change Very good.
The sandwich, soups and muffins are really good. The prices are really good . Service is friendly. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.
Amazing food. Awesome staff. Perfect location. Cant beat it.
Delicious food. Incredibly fast table service. Would highly recommend
Fast, friendly take-out service. Great sandwich! Thank you!
Great food I love it all the time give it 100 stars I would
My husband love it. But the Chowder is way to salty to me .
This was rated the number one sandwich/lunch place in Newburyport when I googled this topic. However, we ordered the Californian and it was just a regular if not sub par wrap. It was okay. The owner was working and seemed to be very friendly and to care about his customers.
We were in town for a day and found this gem. They have the best sandwiches and funny friendly staff. They represent the area well!
Quick service, great selection of sandwiches, etc. Expect to pay for parking. Also this place gets busy fast, so expect a wait on a Friday at noon!
Just had my first experience with Port City and I will be sure to return. The staff was accomodating for our large order for an office meeting. The order was exactly as placed and the food was delicious. What a great find.
The person behind the counter was yelling and unfriendly to most of the people in the staff and the customers. Three of our party had the chicken salad and each of us got food sickness later that day. Try one of the other shops in town, there are plenty of great ones!
Very nice wrap. Southwestern says nicely spiced. Service was fast and the staff were friendly.
Someone discouraged me from going there at this time of day because I had little time, and he said they get slammed and they are kind of slow.I went anyway, they WERE slammed but holy bejeezus I had soup AND sandwich in hand and out the door in 4 minutes flat!A little pricey but its high quality and its Newburyport! Whatever. Still gave it 5 sitars
Love this place! Tastiest sandwiches in Massachusetts!
Now were talkin about the best burgers with bacon sauteed onions french fries whatever you want Greek food wraps its all here
Great food! Super fast! Jerk chicken wrap was excellent! Highly recommended
Wonderful homemade muffins all day. Great sandwiches, gorgeous riverfront picnic tables right outside.
This place might be trying to do too much. God bless them for trying!
Popular little sandwich shop, line out the door! I used their bathroom, it was clean. Thanks, guys.
