    Grubbing with my hubby. Happy New Year's!!

    Great food cart in Cartlandia. The hog dogs and the fish and chips are delicious. They stay open late (2am) and the owner is very attentive and friendly.

    We recently have ordered delivery from here because we just wanted something simple and not so expensive for a change. We've been glad we did. So the 3 corn dog meal with fries is a great value - plenty for your meal and a good sized snack later. Fries are simple and nicely salted, but come with their tangy fry sauce (a little different than most) and cheese sauce. The dog inside is pretty thick and seems higher quality. Onion rings were good too. The Philly is ample with plenty of cheese and all the fixins as they should be. Tons of meat, but not out of proportion. Tender with lots of flavor and the bread is lightly toasted so as to remain soft and not something to tear your gums apart. Chicken tenders are decent sized and lightly seasoned (don't see that much). Food was delivered very quickly as they prep it fast, plus we're not too far. It's in Cartlandia so it's a nice space to go to eat or take away. Will definitely continue to order from here when we want good portions and food at a decent price.

    Wtf even is this???

    Please add the vegan Philly option to your Doordash menu :) I see it listed on your menu, but I can't order it online.

    Delicious, absolutely delicious. Vegan Philly tastes just as good as a regular Philly tastes in my memory. 10/10 will be going back.

    Atmosphere: Food truck pod…read more Food: I was very excited when I got the cheesesteak. It was piping hot and I had high hopes, especially with Whiz. The whiz was done right and was nice and thin as opposed to being too thick like some places do it. I appreciated the idea behind putting multiple cheese types in here, but I think it probably would have been better with just whiz. Unfortunately, my biggest gripe with this sandwich was that the meat used was pretty clearly chopped up burger meat as opposed to the typical shaved steak that you would typically encounter in a cheesesteak. While I hoped that this wouldn't make too much of a difference and would still be an enjoyable sandwich, I just couldn't overlook it as I ate the sandwich. Price: $17 for a cheesesteak (as of June 12, 2025). Reubens were $19. Prices are a bit high in my opinion Service: Excellent service. Very friendly and accommodating Parking: Street parking. Parking in the area can be a little tight but you can find something if you don't mind walking a couple blocks

I kept my pants on for that one. The chopped cheese though? That blew my face off. One of the best things you can get on a hoagie this side of the Mississippi. Get that. Go home and eat it. Go to sleep. Wake up, and go back and get it again. Elite stuff. The rest of the menu looked pretty sexy too. (4.7 Stars)

    I was super excited to try the new Food cart located on Powell Boulevard by the new John's…read moremarketplace. I absolutely love a good Philly cheesesteak sandwich and when I saw this cart I knew I had to try it. So I ordered up the original Philly cheesesteak sandwich that comes with crinkle cut fries. Who doesn't like crinkle cut fries? :-) They gave me a light up/vibrate device so when my order was ready it would go off. It took approximately 10 minutes and my order was ready. I was absolutely amazed at how large the sandwich was an even the fries were a good portion. They included catsup and some sort of thousand Island dressing on the side as well. It was piping hot so I had to wait a bit. First bite of that sandwich put me in a bit of shock... What is this taste that's a bit overpowering and it doesn't taste nothing like a "Original" Philly Cheesesteak. I am not a person who likes curry or nutmeg But my Philly cheesesteak had one or both of them on it. What?? Who does that? I took a second bite to confirm... Yuck! And the roll had some sweetness to it. If I wouldn't of got it to go I would've went back and got a refund but I didn't have time. If you are going to use some odd spice on a Philly cheesesteak sandwich you better put it in your menu so people know and aren't shocked when they bite into it If you are going to use some odd spice on a Philly cheesesteak sandwich you better put it in your menu so people know and aren't shocked when they bite into it. I won't do it again. There are plenty of good Philly cheesesteak places around town so you may want to think about your spices. If you happen to like those spices and a sweeter roll you may want to try out this place it was a very good portion and the people were nice.

I came in for a sandwich this week - my usual "Original" with high quality sliced ribeye, grilled onions and a fair amount of melted cheese. The bonus today was as I was leaving the manager asked "what did you have?" As I answered he offered me a bonus sandwich to-go that they had made for someone in error. This generous offer cemented my loyalty for life. I love Philadelphia's and will announce their praises from the rooftops of Canby.

The food smelled amazing however it did take an excruciating a long time to come out. We honestly thought we were gonna have to go up and see whether or not they had forgotten us. It took so long once we got the sandwich. There was plenty of food and we got the pepper cheesesteak and it was good like the meat was good. The peppers and mushrooms were good, but we did ask for additional mushrooms and they're very little in there. And in the scheme of things, they really wasn't that much inside for the sandwich and it was definitely lacking insult which of course could be me. As someone who knows Phillies from Philly I don't know. I still want to try them out for other sandwiches, but I don't know about the Philly.

It took a while to get my order, but it seemed as if they hired a new worker and were showing him he ropes on how to properly make a good cheesesteak sandwich. The person teaching seemed like he had a passion for the craft of assembling and making the sandwich. But needless to say, he did, because it was pretty fire in my opinion. The beef was delicious! Very well seasoned and accompanied by the onions and swiss cheese, the sandwich was to die for! The peppers worked extremely well, and the roll that they used was super soft and toasted as well. The presentation of the sandwich was simple, but you're able to peer directly in and see all the ingredients inside the sandwich. Beef was tender and each bite was a melty, cheesy, burst of flavor in my mouth.
