Ninth and Fitzwater — Restaurant in Portland

Beermongers is lucky to have Brad (and vice versa). He explains that the name “Ninth and Fitzwater” is an homage to a bakery in Philly that made the sesame bread which he gets custom made now from a bakery in lents! The Italian did not disappoint, easy to eat without it falling apart, he has mastered the art of sandwich making. The pasta salad is good although the carrots are an interesting texture in a mostly soft dish, which could be enhanced with perhaps diced salami (would get that as a meal itself!) A cool dude making bomb hoagies outta the back behind the fridges at the already awesome Beermongers space! It’s beautiful. Get it while the getting is good!! Easily a top Italian sandwich in...

Starting off with the cheesy breadsticks with the pepper garnish really set our expectations very high. The cheesy breadsticks with the garnish was so unexpectedly incredible.

Thank you for the experience of a lifetime for...

Holy cow! These sandwiches are incredible. I’m not entirely sure the photos do justice to how great the food looks in person or the quality. Everything was fresh, well balanced and so flavorful. It was just the right amount of food and fairly priced. Brad delivered our food and was so gracious when we were confused about our order. He was patient, kind and great at his craft. Can’t wait to try...
