    When I stopped at this foodcart a sign said this way to the cities best cheeseburger - well let's see: I ordered the deluxe one that comes with all the fittings plus bacon and all their burgers come with two smashed patties (well the jr can set you down to just one Pattie) And I wanted to try their chicken nuggets - just cause I am still on the search for better then McDonalds nuggets haha. Ok then the food came out. There is plenty of space to sit around and consume the food fresh and that is important for a review. Let's talk about the nuggets first. They have been really good and if I would ever end up here again I would order them again. The burger I have to be honest disappointed. I just recently had a monster smash burger and this one was everything like theirs. The patties have been ok and the fitting are ok but nothing special. The bacon was thinly sliced pieces not really crispy and most disappointing was there was one slice of cheese and not much of their smash- sauce. That all lead to an extremely dry burger that wasn't as hot as the one I had at monster. I would not compare a brand to another but they said it's the best cheeseburger in town and so I'll had to compare it. Let me tell you it's a ok burger but by far not the best in town. On the good side as said it is a ok burger (better then any killer burger ever be) and it's extremely fair priced with prices starting at $7! I have to take away one star tho for claiming something you are really far off. It might have even be a different game if you would have had put a second slice of cheese in eternity the two patties. But you decided not to!

    Solid burger and super quick service! The patty was cooked just right, though a little on the dry side nothing a few ketchup packets couldn't fix. Definitely a great spot for a fast, satisfying bite. Definitely coming back!

    Good prices. Small menu. Next to Level Beer and can bring the food in or the drinks out of the brewery. Just a good simple smash burger. I got a smashy boi, I just wanted a small quick burger and fries. It was simple but juicy with crispy cold lettuce. Definitely 80/20 or more. The meat wasn't grisly at all. It's just a food cart outside of the brewery, with picnic table seating that is mostly covered. The staff greeted me nicely and the food came out fast and hot. Would come again.

    We step up to the cart now located at Level Beer at 2pm on a Saturday and can immediately order. This isn't our first time at MidCity. We tried the smash burgers here when they first opened during the pandemic and were pleasantly surprised. Now MidCity operates a few locations but this one that moved from close by in SE still resonates with me. The prices are reasonable, service friendly and quick. I appreciate the food is made to order here. We wait less than 10 minutes. Mr. James Fries are smothered in nacho cheese and signature sauce. We devour them. Swimming in summertime has made us hungry. The nugs, chicken nuggets with barbecue sauce are very tasty. Deluxe smashburger very tasty, although a little messy. That's to be expected I guess. If you're like us and have a craving for a tasty burger hit up MidCity. You can't go wrong especially if you like to enjoy a burger with a nice brew.

    $6 smashburger? Say no more and count me in. I thought the $8 smashburger I had a couple years back was a good deal, but this is just unbelievable. Also, can't beat the fact that the food cart is right outside of a taproom with plenty of outdoor seating. We got smashburgers, and some nuggets and fries to share. Burgers were a good size and super flavorful. Nuggets and fries were also great, plus the amount of fries you got for $4 was amazing. Would absolutely come back here to enjoy some delicious and cheap eats with a nice beer from the taproom.

    Smashy Boi Burger and Fries
    Alivia C.

    I ordered the Smashy Boi and a side of fries, and everything was fantastic. The patty was grilled to perfection, with a beautifully crisp lacing around the edges. Despite how thin it was, the flavor was incredible. The buns were buttery and soft, complementing the patty perfectly. The Smash Sauce was tasty, but I found myself wanting a bit more of it. The fries were on the salty side, but the ranch did a good job of balancing them out. Although this is a food truck, you can sit inside the bar behind it, which is such a thoughtful touch--especially during colder months. The bar itself had a great vibe, adding to the overall experience. I'll definitely be back, maybe with a slightly different order. Amazing food and a great setup! Highly recommend.

    Phenomenal. I'm surprised there are not alot of smashed burgers around. For $6, you get a McDonald's sized cheeseburger with 10x more flavors packed in one. Simple and fast. Good amount of street parking and it's not a busy road as long as you park on the backside. Located in one of the smaller pods but lots of seating. Service was fast, we got our order of three burgers within 5 minutes.

    "Hot and Crispy" fries. We couldn't pick them up without them breaking. Had to use a fork.....which they did not provide.

    Took the family on a Saturday night. Not a busy night, but somehow felt like we were bothering them by ordering an item on their menu: Bag of Burgers. Dude taking our order made it clear with a negative tone that this "item is leaving the menu, ASAP". (I have zero clue why I need to hear/know that). Also, 20% is the lowest tip offered without "customizing" it...awkward situation when the order-taking-dude is cranky. Nonetheless, burgers took about 30min and included both french fry items on their menu. Fries are advertised as "hot at crispy"...they were like French fries from highschool. Soggy, not crispy. Couldn't pick up a French fry from either batch, so mushy they broke when attempting to pick them up. Avoid them. Burger meat is very good, sauce was great....but I had to take 2 bites to get any sauce. Bummer. We were excited to try it after reading a gushing news article about "their story" from New Orleans. Between the interaction at the counter, the mushy fries and then skimping on sauce....we were let down, for sure. Far better products all over town.

    Gave this truck a try today. Not impressed! There were two operators on board, at 14:50 on Saturday, and no line waiting. Order placed after seven minutes of waiting to be acknowledged, but was told to wait for the buzzer thing in about twenty more minutes. Sat down to wait. After thirty minutes our order came out. One big deluxe burger (two patties) plus fries and one plain burger (two patty) Only American Cheese was offered. Large burger had pickles that were to be removed on the order. Crinkle l-cut fries looked good (but likely arrive to the tuck frozen) and lacked any seasoning. Overall, a nice burger at a high price. It has been compared to McD (I don't know, not a customer of that chain) Setting okay, but only two trucks in place. Some sketchy people including zoned out street person sleeping head down on the covered table. Another homeless person with baggage got a water (at the Mexican food truck) and soon left. Disappointing!!

    $5 a burger? Don't mind if I do... get a couple of them! I'm on the search for all the smash burgers in the area and I had to stop by MidCity after reading all the reviews. I gotta say like others have mentioned they are lightening fast with your order. From the moment we ordered our 4 burgers and fries it was only a bit over 5 min wait. Like we almost waited for a table to open up in that time! Luckily we were able to nab one of the pop up they had since it was raining but you can try to park your car near the truck to enjoy in the comfort of your car. Check the menu as they may have specials - we also tried the fish sandwich and fries. As for the burgers they are nothing too fancy but are a solid meat, cheese, sauce, and bun. Almost slider like you can definitely eat a couple to feel full. They seem to have a hint of bay seasoning on the patties which adds a nice spice. As for the fish sandwich it's pretty plain but reminds me of fish sticks in a sandwich (not in a bad way). It's a nice option if you're not craving meat. Fries are solid as well. Staff is friendly too and as mention super quick to provide you your piping hot burgers and fries!

    Tasty burgers. Little on the small side but that's standard for a smash burger. Not a destination burger but good if you're grabbing beers at Level Brewing.

    This is a stunning burger…read more I have come here an embarrassing amount of times since moving back to Portland. The first time I came alone, just a little hungry and a lot broke. So I got the $6 little pleasure burger. A simple, single patty smash burger. It's everything a McDonald's burger wishes it could be - beefy and drippy, a squishy, slightly sweet bun, oozing hot grease without being heavy, lacy and crisp edges, and held together with the right amount of American cheese. It was the perfect amount for that day. Then I returned with my date. Twice. And he brought his coworkers for lunch because he liked it so much. I have had the western and the mushroom burger since, as well as the parm and chive waffle fries. They have nuggets and I'm inclined to believe they're great. The staff is great, it's a small team and they're all there every single day. They care about their product and your experience. The space is a simple counter, not good for large groups. It should be noted that even though their burgers would be great with a beer, they don't seem to have a liquor license! So don't expect an IPA with that shroom burger. Maybe someday!

IMO. This BBQ is Kansas City style, so the sauce is a bit sweeter. We got the brisket, the chicken wings, and sides. We couldn't decide if on the sauce for the wings, so we got all 3 on the side. The Alabama white sauce was A+ The brisket was perfectly tender. It had great flavor and marbling. The wings are full wings with the drummette attached. That's the way to do it! They are smoked and then fried. They got the crisp just right. Let's talk about sides! We got the collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. They were all FANTASTIC! The coleslaw is a vinegar coleslaw, which I love. It wasn't the sweet mayonnaise style that most people don't enjoy. It was so good! The collard greens were perfectly flavored and tender! I couldn't have done better myself. The beans were sweet but also savory. Not super sweet, which makes me happy. Very well balanced. The server was super friendly and nice. She explained everything to us and made sure we were happy. They have a bar with various beers. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual but perfect for BBQ.
