    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.

    These are ridiculously good! I ordered the steak Philly with triple cheese. The sandwich was massive. It was a delicious, cheesy mess!

    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!

    Ooof. This was the most amazing burger. I had the western because I wanted an onion ring. The best…read morecooked smash patties, absolute top notch. I got the fries as well and they were crispy and soft on the inside. Small spot, very clean and efficient. Clean bathroom which was great for the kiddo to wash hands.

    This was an incredible introduction to the Portland food scene, delivering some of the best…read moresandwiches I've ever had. Between the genuinely friendly hospitality and the flavor combinations, this spot hits it out of the park and is a must for sandwich lovers. Griddled Mortadella (5/5): An incredibly delicious sandwich that perfectly balances rich, salty, and savory flavors. It comes loaded with a generous portion of grilled mortadella and melted provolone cheese, perfectly moistened with a tangy mustard aioli. The fresh lettuce and bell peppers added a satisfying crunch to every bite. Chefwich - K-Town Steak Sandwich (5/5): A limited-time creation packed into a banh mi roll. It had a generous portion of perfectly tender and sweet bulgogi steak that pairs with their melted jack cheese. The gochujang mayo sauce had a subtle and sweet heat, while the fresh kimchi added crunch and slight acidity to balance the rich meat. Elote Tater Tots (5/5): Definitely a creative side dish. The tots were perfectly fried and topped elote style with cotija cheese, pairing well with the smoky chipotle mayo on the side. Logistics Tip: Street parking is surprisingly easy to find in the surrounding area, even on a busy weekend evening. The restaurant has a spacious layout with plenty of seating options both inside and outside. If you're a first-timer, don't hesitate to ask the staff for suggestions, as they're exceptionally warm, welcoming, and passionate about the menu.

We walked down here on a beautiful day after wedding deletes shopping, so spirits were high. Located on a busy corner, but with plenty of outdoor seating, Lardo is a good place to have lunch on a Saturday. I have nothing to say about the parking sitch. My daughter and I shared the Willamette Reuben and her friend ordered the Italian Flag. We shared the Lardo fries. Oh man, the Reuben was perfection! The flavor of the meat and everything on the sandwich, from texture to flavor--chef's kiss! We heard that the Italian Flag was excellent too. Definitely, you can share a sandwich especially if you're having fries. The fries were delicious--crispy and flavorful on the outside, perfectly hot and mushy on the inside. Yum!
