Punky's gets four stars using my statistics based equal weighted averaged point scale model for value and tastyness. For example, $3.75 will get you a delicious and filling breakfast wrap. And since no one goes here for breakfast, there is no wait! The burritos are huge and are similar to something I would make at home if I were not so lazy. Thanksgiving subs or burritos are good. The hot mess they dish out of hotel pans during lunch has always been a favorite of mine.

First off, this place is FAR too good to just be open from 8 - 6 M-F. No weekends? Bah-humbug! That said, if you're considering a visit to Punky's (or delivery) here's what I know. The breakfast sandwiches are hearty and a good call if you're in the mood for an AM pick-me-up. They don't make/sell muffins and that sort of thing, so really come here if you're hoping for more savory fare. For lunch, you get a good sandwich/sub for the money and Punky's offers a huge variety of options. I've really enjoyed the Thanksgiving sandwich (turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce) as well as the chicken salad. The onion rings are top notch, though the fries are nothing to write home about. Punky's offers a bunch of pre-packaged desserts if you have a sweet tooth. They're not bad in a pinch. It can sometimes take the staff a little time to put together your order as they're busy, so if you're picking up I recommend you call in your order ahead of time.

It breaks my heart to give Punky's a bad review. Punky's USED to be awesome, with a great variety of inexpensive hot and cold sandwiches, fantastic house made entrees (the mexican casserole rocks my world!), a great neighborhood feel... I was in there at least a couple of times a week. Its gone very far downhill very quickly. The entree fridges are always empty when they used to be stuffed full. They never have materials to make sandwiches. They're closed for no apparent reason on days they're normally open. I went in tonight and they were not only out of entrees, they were out of everything I tried to order. I finally had to ask the cashier what they DID have- just the frozen/fried stuff. I walked out empty handed and hungry. Hope springs eternal, so I'm sure I'll be back, and I'm sure I'll be disappointed agian... Punky's, please come back. Portland misses you :( Update- went there 12/23/14, bought a turkey sandwich for me and one for my mom. We both got super sick, spent Christmas eve trading places in the bathroom with horrible stomach cramps. Sorry Punkys, but I won't be back. Poor selection I'll tolerance, but now its a dangerous proposition.

Great place for sandwiches of all kinds and they usually offer a selection of comfort foods like shepherds pie, tuna noodle casserole, Mac and cheese and many more. I've been here many, many times and have never been disappointed with the food. Their soups in the winter are the bomb. Other favs are chicken parm sub, steak sub, turkey sub (they roast turkeys everyday) and haddock roll up. I could go on and on.

Great go to lunch spot. Comfort food of good quality, and very reasonable price. I am happy to be in walking distance of them for work.

Not quite a restaurant. Not quite a convenience store. Not quite a deli. Whatever Punky's is, it's great! I've been going here for about 12 years now, ever since they were located on Forest Ave. I've only ever had lunch here, and that's because they always have great comfort food pre-packaged lunch specials for super cheap that you can grab and go - think mac n cheese, chicken pot pie, etc. for about $5 a container. And their portions are huge! I was getting the mac sweats during a recent encounter with one of their mac n cheese lunch specials. Counter staff is extremely friendly and efficient. I imagine they're used to a lunch rush of people who need to grab and go, and so they're great at placing orders and getting you your food quickly. The inside has the look and feel of a mom and pop deli/convenience store The parking situation outside - at least during my last visit - was a bit ambiguous. No parking spaces anywhere painted in the parking lot, so I guess you just need to set the tone if you are the first person to park there, or go with the flow of the other patrons. If you're looking for a new breakfast or lunch spot and the idea of inexpensive, freshly-prepared comfort food is appealing to you, then stop in and check it out.

Ok next time you go to punk us doesn't matter what time get the bacon egg and cheese bekfast sandwich it is the best you will ever taste
(5)Ryan D.
They are very friendly, the building is a bit small but the front of the store is open and a dine in area in the back. I stop in every chance I get and buy a wrap for cheaper than at Mcdonalds or wherever. The portions are excellent and the food is better. Stop in, you'll be glad you did!

I haven't written a review since 2009, but I had Punky's falafel sandwich today and felt compelled. They typically serve their falafel with eggplant, lettuce, tomato and tahini. I changed it to: falafel, more falafel (no eggplant), lettuce, tahini, hummus and feta. Phenomenal. 5 star sandwich, 4 star place (I had a so-so chicken salad sandwich there previously).

I've been going to Punky's for years. They have the best local Thanksgiving sub! Real turkey!!! Stuffing galore & a tad of cranberry sauce. Gravy flows like a river here --grab a raft. It's great, the employees are great and I love that they sell Christmas trees!!
(5)Ryan C.
They serve a variety of well priced and portioned sandwiches. The sub rolls are pretty decent, not at all like the hot dog'esk rolls they serve at amatos. The turkey is roasted and sliced in house. My turkey sub was made with provolone (on request) with tomat and mayo. I think it could have used some salt and pepper, but was good and left me feeling healthy. They also serve a variety of hot items, wraps and other sandwiches. Give this place a visit!

I've lived a few streets down from Punky's for 6 years and always thought it was ok, at best. Worse than Ananias and Quality Shop or the myriad of other local sandwich shops. I've changed my mind. First, Punky's breakfast sandwiches are the best! They should be called brunch sandwiches, because no one is eating lunch after one of these. It's a giant potato roll loaded with fried eggs, cheese and a mound the size of a softball of whatever meat you choose. And it's under $4. They have them pre-made as well during morning hours for those in a rush. They have hot lunch entrees such as shepards pie and lasagne that I've heard are fantastic, but I haven't tried. Lately I've been addicted to the turkey sandwich. Where Anania's turkey has taken a turn for the worse (or more heavily processed), Punky's is fresh and comes on one of those perfect doughy rolls I wish I could buy from them. There's nothing overly original about Punky's. They have the usual assortment of sandwiches and chicken fingers, burgers, burritos, etc. But they're really good, and better than in years past. It's a worthy stop for sandwiches.

They're known for their Thanksgiving sub but some of my favorites are the beef stroganoff and chicken pot pie - both are absolutely incredible. Also super nice people and very reasonable prices

I just stopped in for a quick lunch on a Friday. I grabbed one of their specials, turkey shepherd's pie. Oh man, it was delicious! It was an ample portion for only $6! You can tell everything is homemade -chunks of real potatoes in the mashed potatoes, chunks of celery in the stuffing - you just can beat this place! I was in and out in less than 5 mins. I had no problems parking either. Give this lunch spot a try!

Don't judge a book by its cover. Yes, this place does look a little bit rundown, but it adds to that hole-in-the-wall feel and they have some pretty awesome food. Great place to grab a quick bite to eat. Tasty, freshly made, large sandwiches. A few different rotating hot dish casseroles that are also quite good. I'm usually not a fan of meals without meat...but try the falafel roll-up. It has awesome falafels, fried eggplant, vegetables, and a tasty tahini sauce.
(4)Jon R.
I'm really impress with their sub, lots meat and vegetable. I prefer this place over Subway or Amato.

My job is not too far from Punky's so I go there fairly often (several times per week). Breakfast sandwiches and roll ups are good. At lunch time he usually puts out three casseroles and a soup, plus sandwiches, roll ups, and salads. The Greek salad is good even though not much like what I had in Greece. The chef's salad is a whole meal by itself. The various casseroles are almost always good. Some go over the top of my grease tolerance, and some that have tomato sauce are slightly sweet. I can't tell if the sweetness comes from the onions or if he's adding a bit of sugar. I like tomato things to be slightly acidic, but I know many people like the sweet. Prices are reasonable. The potato salad is possibly the best in Portland.

Friendly people. You can get in and out quickly. Had the cheese burger sub and was great!!

(3)Katie S.
They have the best lunches!

Have gone in here several times over the years and sample several items off the menu. Great breakfast sandwiches and subs. Several is always good.

Ok, I have to say I was a bit skeptical when my boyfriend pointed out the unassuming building one day while we were driving home. However, once he started talking about enormous sandwiches for under $5, I was sold. We've gone a few times since. It's truly the perfect spot for a quick, super affordable lunch, especially if you're on the run. They're fast and friendly. I'm a big fan of the veggie italian but I would recommend adding banana peppers and jalapenos for some extra pizzaaz! The daily hot specials are pretty tempting and ridiculously affordable. Also, the BF swears by the thanksgiving sandwich--YUM. Haven't tried the burritos or the pizza yet... Overall, I definitely appreciate the total lack of pretension and fluff at this place. Just a good old fashioned sandwich. I hear breakfast is good too ;)

I only go here for one thing - sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches. In the morning there are stacks of them wrapped in tinfoil so I can grab one and go. When I'm craving a breakfast sandwich in the evening I'll call ahead so it's ready when I get there and I appreciate this service! The sandwich itself is pretty darn good, served on a kaiser roll and a perfectly sized sausage patty. It's a little heavier than most sausage egg and cheese sandwiches I'm into on account of so much breading so it's not my ideal breakfast sandwich - just my super convenient one. Punky's is essentially a fast food joint and convenient store combo. Sometimes I pick up some Cherry Garcia ice cream or a bottle if wine but the combo is otherwise strange and the dining tables uncomfortable and greasy feeling. Great bulletin board in the back for posting business cards, random happenings and missing cat announcements.
