    Bake on the Run
    Kate O.

    Super cute place. Nice inside and great selection of foods. Inside has a nice bar and lots of seating. A coffee shop and an amazing fish tank! This is a really nice place for families, and I even saw a doggie inside (not a small one), so many inside is also pet-friendly? Fills up fast on weekends. Also, the prices for food here, I feel are at least %20 cheaper than other pods I've been to. Many things are 10-15 vs 15-20. Bake on the Run is a favorite place here, worth it just to try that cart.

    This is an awesome food cart pod! I was highly impressed by the delicious food and amazing indoor seating area and bar. I will definitely be back!

    Fun and interesting food cart pod. Love the idea of a converted bank. Sadly the safe deposit boxes with hidden treasures is no more thanks to people abusing it BUT you can find them in them in the coffee shop. Great variety of food carts with an assortment of cuisines to choose from. Had a pretty good Bloody Mar from the bar and seating was plenty. Great addition to the neighborhood.

    This might be the best food cart pod in Portland. Located in Woodstock neighborhood, it's clear they put a lot of thought into this development. They picked a theme (bank / Monopoly) and ran with it. It's fun for both adults and kids to explore and see every little detail that relates to it - penny floor, murals, bank vault, Monopoly cards, etc. even if you don't care about the theme, it's a pleasant place to be, with plenty of exterior and interior seating. The property has its own bar and coffee shop, so no matter what hour you show up you can get a beverage. They have about 20 food carts that keeps their own hours, and have managed to attract some heavy hitters, such as Bake on the Run, Bark City BBQ, CoKieas Kitchen, Cookie McCookie Face, Golden Triangle, Kim, Jong Grillin, Rocket Breakfast. Overall, they cover a wide variety of cuisines and everybody in the family should be able to find something to enjoy here.

    This is by far the best food cart pod that I've been to! I saw on a vegan Facebook post a photo of CocKlea's Kitchen Soul Bowl and thought to myself, I need this! I looked to see where they were located, and that's what brought me to The Heist! I parked on the street about a block away, so not too far. All the food carts looked like they were doing brisk business. I found CocKlea's fairly quickly and put my order in. CocKiea's Kitchen is 100% vegan. As I waited for my order, I wandered around to see what the other carts were offering. There was a wide variety. Many had at least one vegan offering. At first I was nervous about wandering too far from the cart I ordered from. I found an unoccupied picnic bench. I thought if I deserted it, it would be hard to find a place to sit, it was that busy! I was wrong, I found a really cool spot around the corner. After I ate, I wandered inside, so glad I did! The indoor seating area was really nice! They had fancyish tables and chairs! The vibe was really cool! There's a game room, indoor bathrooms, groupings of comfy chairs! I will definitely be back and hope to bring a group of friends with me!

    Came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon and wow! This is a wonderful spot. Plenty of seating, great ambience, and a touch of the fantastic with all of the bank related items! Very cool and seems to be family friendly and have plenty of seating. It was such a nice relaxing time--I ordered some food, chilled for a bit, then ordered some more, rinse and repeat! A delightful afternoon and I love that there's a centralized place for seating and so many options for food--something for everyone!

    Japanese logger from their taps. Really good.

    I finally got to check out this cool place on a nice day after a hike. There are a lot of food trucks here. I would say about 70% with an Asian or Indian flair. Definitely going to come back and try one of those places soon. I chose the Smashburger place today. What an excellent choice I made! Two burgers on a really nice bun with plenty of cheese and a great sauce! There's a inside space with a bar that is really good. The artwork is interesting. The bar area backing is safety deposit boxes. It's pretty cool actually. It's open light and breezy. Very clean with plenty of tables. The tables were clean and so was the bathroom area. Lots of people there enjoying the afternoon. Families with their kids, couples, a lot of smiling faces hanging out. Plenty of choices of food here and definitely a good vibe. Check it out.

    Cool holdup in Woodstock. Great selection of food trucks, cozy setting inside with plenty of community seating. Taps & cocktails indoor. Fun feature ~ bank vault with heist map ;)

    Coconut linguine and fried shrimp
    Vanessa L.

    This is a great spot with lots of food carts to choose from. Every vendor was polite and inviting made it hard to choose where to eat. This place is dog friendly with indoor and out door seating. Inside has bathrooms and a gaming area with a bar. We didn't grab any drinks as we were on a day trip from WA. All the food looked so good from all the carts. I landed on the coconut linguine with fried shrimp. It did not disappoint I did not catch the name of the cart however I only saw one offering it. The husband got at Monte crisco from the cart on the very end or beginning depending on what street you entered from. It's the only one of two serving breakfast. He absolutely loved it. From their menu they do a lot of local and home made products and the Hibiscus tea was refreshing.

    This is a nifty place with a retro atmosphere. Set in an old bank building, some of the original touches still exist. You can walk into the old safety deposit area and there are fun surprises for kids! There are about 15 food carts outside with inside and outdoor seating available. There is a bar inside for adult beverages. The interior space has TVs, a pinball room and a huge fish tank! Great for family outings. Parking in the area was a challenge, and finding a table on a Saturday afternoon was not easy. It was lively and fun once we were seated... but it took about 20 minutes to make it happen. I would recommend signage encouraging people to move when they are done eating. Check it out... a nice addition to a rising Woodstock area.

    The heist is a really cool spot for dining or just relaxing, especially with all the food carts right outside the door. It's nice and warm and the aesthetic is amazing especially the bar with all those bottles in their little shelves. There's also a pinball room lotta seating a lot of cool heist related decor and a giant TV in aquarium so it's good for kids as well to have fun. There's also like an indoor fire pit seating thing.

    Anybody have a photo of the menu(s)? Thanks.

    Because 'the Heist" is the name of the pod, there's no one menu. Google their website and there's menus for some of the carts there.

I came after a review I read on Eater for FoPo area eats. I'm not a huge fried food fan but this place was good. I got the Steelhead trout fish and chips. Wait was ok they give you a buzzer so you can stroll around the food court. Took about 10 mins not bad. The locally sourced steelhead was a delicious surprise. Tender, juicy fish with crispy breading. Good seasoning. Fries were thicker so not as crispy but still hearty. 3 medium sized pieces of fish. They included ketchup for the fries as well as malt vinegar and tartar sauce for authentic fish dip. Wedge of lemon, too! All in a earth-friendly cardboard box. They take credit just fine. Very convenient location at Carts on Foster just down the street from where I was staying. So I walked back and enjoyed there. If you're staying you could probably cruise over to any local breweries or the bar cart for a beer to complement the fried food. Good time!!!

Anytime we go to the Mississippi Marketplace, I always get flautas at Mole Mole. They are a feast for the eyes and palate. These are the best flautas I've had so far in the area. The staff is always friendly, the service is prompt, and orders come out quickly and are plated so beautifully they *must* be photographed every time. I'm a creature of habit so I could order flautas here forever, but I promised myself I would try the chile relleno next time we go. Wish me luck! We love the casual vibe. It's comfy, there's usually a place to sit, but it can get packed when the weather is good. The space is welcoming and offers opportunities to chat with others if you want. It's a great space that fosters community.

    It was payday, my Friday, and my plans to make spaghetti carbonara were foiled by frozen bacon (…read moreoops) and a mountain of dirty dishes ( not. my. job.) and my freakin' exhaustion. Teen wanted boba, and we decided to order Mediterranean from this place which also strangely sells boba. Yes, I rewarded the chore avoidance. Sue me. I worked four tens, all week my mental health clients were stressed and distressed, and I was honestly a lump. We both ordered a Moroccan stewed chicken that comes with saffron rice, salad, and three spicy sauces - one yogurt and maybe sumac? , one sriracha, and one yogurt mixed with sriracha maybe? We liked the rice, chicken, salad, and the yogurt sauce. Just ok though. Not omg good. I wish the two other sauces had been in separate containers and not on the rice. My mint and honey tea was fine. Kid's boba was not full. Not because it spilled either, because it was sealed with the boba seal lid thingy. For $6 that was disappointing. The hummus and dolmades plate came with one sad not good pita, ONE, and I think our Uber eats driver flung it out the window like kids used to deliver newspapers from their bikes because yogurt sauce was freaking everywhere. The hummus was not great. Teen ( the dolmades fan) said the grape leaves were good. Probably not a repeat in store. One and done.
