The Dugout Gourmet Deli & Beer Bar

Great people. My friends and I go in regularly. I'm happy to see thy are expanding the food menu. I like the deli stuff but, I'd like a bit more sports bar food. Beer selection is amazing. Awesome local bar. I can't say enough about the service. Rich and Kim are great people and definitely believe in making their customers enjoy their experience. Definitely recommend.

I don't know if I can formally review this place since I was only in it for a few minutes and didn't have any thing. My BF was in here while I was at the Marshalls next door shopping. He sat in here and had  a beer while waiting. I thought I might get a drink too but alas no, only beer/ wine. I was ok with that, I might peruse the food someday.. but nothing here for me to booze down on. Such a shame.  It's great if you're going to stop in and watch the game for a bit and have a beer. I didn't get to explore anything else but I would go back and look at the yummy food.

The Dugout is kind of that - a bit of a hole-in-the-wall in a strip mall near albertsons, next to IHOP.  This is a 3.5 star review - an extra half star because the service was good.

Service: Great, friendly and fast service, nice folks.

Beverages: Lots of beer on tap, nothing wrong with that.

Food: My girlfriend got the stuffed avocado appetizer and ate all of it, so that is a winner.  I had a pastrami Reuben, which was pretty average, but had nothing wrong with it. I certainly wasn't expecting Jewish deli quality, so I got what I expected.  The nachos were as advertised on the menu - simply chips with 7-Eleven style cheese sauce.  They have hot-dogs and other sandwiches on the menu.

Prices: Good - Reuben was $7.95, no up-charge for getting pastrami instead of corned beef on it, score.

Decor: Clean, funky football shaped tables, lots of TVs around with sports.  A bit antiseptic in a way - it could use some more character, this is a Portland suburb after all.

Other: I believe I saw an Xbox station for the kids to play at in the corner, that is a nice.

I think this place has a lot potential, especially as a sports bar, since the area is a bit lacking in that department.  Some more food options (I'm not a hot dog person), and a bump in the quality of the sandwiches can really go far.
