St. Johns Deli & Grocery — Restaurant in Portland

This place 'ought to be featured on the map any time that St. Johns is mentioned! I couldn't get it to pop up when I searched initially, though I quickly learned it to be one hell of a gem after moving into the neighborhood a couple years ago. For, quite frankly, an embarrassing number of nights this valiant place has saved me from letting myself go hungry at night when it's the last thing I need after work.

The first thing that I would recommend trying? If you're in to it--the shepherd's pie. (The cook there when he's around is not shy about taking suggestions on ingredients either if you're a repeat customer! I'm not a meatloaf guy (though I haven't tried theirs either yet,) but their lasagña & bacon Mac n' cheese are pretty great too. They feature soups, stews build-your-own sandwiches rivaling the selections of Subways, and home-bakes goods all in addition to the regular amenities of a cornerstore with reasonably competitive pricing. The only thing that I don't go to them for is cigarettes. XD

Please, support this local business! I love my safe haven, and I want my shepherd's pie. Please...

I’ve lived in St Johns almost 8 years… I miss my Kevin-11, but the new owners are really cool too. Great Nepalese dumplings (call ahead 15-20 minutes if you want them ready when you get there). Good value and even better people. Show some support for a local business doing great by their customers. They listen to, and act on suggestions by customers… all while balancing their commitment to the community and trying to stay in business. I’ve experienced the owner himself making special trips to suppliers to pick up items I request to make sure I can purchase them on my next visit on more than...

Also known as the Mohawk Mart-- I really like the food that Kip makes here. I get soup on sick days and I enjoy the deviled eggs. I've never had a sandwich here but I'm told they are good. Local folks work here so I pop in frequently as opposed to going to the 7/11. They carry the CBD sodas I like and have ample offerings for drinks and snacks. You cannot find cases of soda here-- but they do individual cans. Unfortunately the staff has to keep an eye out for theft so there are some photos of banned people on the door. I go here...
