Caper's Cafe - Portland International Airport PDX

CLOSED July 30(?), 2024 and replaced by Capers Bistro


Established 2001

The Roast Beef lists on the sandwich menu board at $5.50. It is a few dollars less than the hot foods but seeing the large staff hustling, I concluded the sandwiches had to be decent.  The server behind the counter wrote my order and handed me the check to pay the cashier.  After a couple minutes, a person came out calling my number and I was handed a brown paper bag.  What?  I expected a sandwich on a paper plate but am handed a plastic wrapped sandwich.


The roast beef is dry and bland and the Caper sauce is the only thing giving it moistness and flavor. The roll is even dryer with a starchy stale refrigerated taste and texture.

If I want a vending machine quality sandwich, I would stop at a vending machine or gas station, not an establishment where I put in a order at a counter with an expectation of a fresh made to order sandwich.  I despise this more than Big Town Hero at the other end of the terminal.
