Well made "custom" salads. While nothing like Chipotle or Subway, they follow that model. My salad was super fresh, not just lettuce. Generous toppings. The only lost a star because the eating area, this is among many food trucks, was a mess. read more

So bland. Such small serving. Do not order a Crunchwrap. Was essentially Doritos wrapped in a tortilla with a TINY bit of sauce Ang veggies. Smaller than a single slice of bread. So bad. So bland. So small. So expensive. read more

I stumbled upon Garden Monsters while looking for a vegan Caesar salad and they did not disappoint! After a quick look at the menu I was thrilled to see they had vegan options as well as non vegan. They offer salads in half and whole sizes and you can order it with dressings on the side or tossed and ready to eat. I keep going back for the vegan Caesar salad (add lemon and avocado)! I appreciate how generous they are with the dressing because it is so creamy and delicious. The staff is always friendly and my online orders are ready when I arrive. Garden Monsters is a food truck located in a pod on SE Division. Street parking. read more

Always super tasty! I love the customizability you can have with all the salad options. The half-size alone is huge and is great as a bowl or a wrap. I got the Paul Bunyan with chicken most recently. Everything was super fresh and delicious. I appreciate that they really respect when I ask for light dressing. My wrap didn't get soggy at all. I haven't had a bad option there and look forward to trying other things in the future. read more

Loved their Caesar salad, it was just what I needed! I grabbed that and then grabbed some wine at the place next door and enjoyed outside in their beautiful venue! read more

Best vegan caesar salad with vegan "chicken" ever! I could honestly eat it everyday and they have so many options for vegans, including awesome salads with a wide array of cruelty free "meat" options. I highly recommend. read more

Huge satisfying salad! Had a few days of unhealthy eats while I was in Portland so I was in need of some veggies. This was perfect!!! Someone else ordered a wrap and after seeing it, I'll be ordering that next time!!! It was the size of my head! read more

I tried the Garden Monsters cart in Vancouver at The Oak Tree Station food cart pod and it was amazing!!!! They have vegan Caesar salad! I'm a vegetarian and missed my Caesar salads. It was so good! The girl working the cart was incredibly friendly and we chatted about if I had ever had Garden Monsters before. It was my first time and a wonderful experience! I will definitely be back soon!! read more

Healthy, tasty and fresh...perfect place to visit when you're craving feel good food. I love that all the menu items are easily customizable. The Buffalo Style Cesar salad is my current favorite but I'm definitely coming back to try the melts. Also. I really don't get some of the hate for this place about the prices or service. The "whole" size menu items are indeed Monster sized at 48oz for a large salad and priced very fairly. Seems like some of these people don't leave the house often. read more

If you like puking for hours on end go have at it !!! Three people was so sick blowing out both ends for 6 -10 hours !!!!!! Called WA health department and I guess I'm not the first !!!! Kyle ( owner ) Claimed that's never happened and doesn't know what it could have been !!!!! Then he refunded my money minus the sales tax ???? What a POS !!!! read more

Now THAT'S a salad. I won't have anything less than a garden monster salad now I can't go back. Blew my mind with their allergy accomodations, kind staff, and giant salad bowls so you can really dig in:) wish I took a picture but I was too hungry haha read more

I know it's healthy for me, but I am NOT a fan of salads at all. This place has definitely changed that for me and I LOVE their salad bowls. The chicken bacon avocado melt is my current favorite and I recommend it to everyone because it's the best kind of finger food and it's the perfect size to be satisfying. The seating area is clean and plenty big enough for a group and there's also a covered area for when the weather gets wet. You get your money's worth, the service is quick, and it's good for you. This is a Sam approved location. read more

Do you love crunch wrap supremes but hate the way you feel after? Then go to Garden Monster and get a delicious and fresh version instead. Plus it tastes way better! I had a vegan wrap and vegan Caesar and both were delicious! My husband got a non vegan wrap and also loved it! read more

I have to start by saying we truly enjoy Garden Monster's salads. They are so good, you can add a bunch of yummy things ( this usu makes my teen's salad a bit spendy), they accomodate everyone's dietary needs ( vegan, paleo, keto, gluten free, carnivore), they will even put stuff in a flatbread quesadilla kinda thing if you don't feel leafy, and they are usually so nice. My teen and I drove over to the northest part of Portland to look at a potential new home ( can I just say this is a crummy time to be house hunting?) from the outside and ordered salads online for pickup. It was our first outing in three weeks or more. Garden Monsters has a no contact setup where you can order online, park at Plaid Pantry and they will bring it to your car. We were so excited! A young lady (I sound so old) brought us a ripped bag that sorta was holding our salads and a busted open extra dressing. She was not gloved or masked. She looked scared tbh. I think she was supposed to place the bag in our back seat which on her side was loaded with Costco paper towels ( we were delivering them later to a family member). We rolled down the window to tell her to come to my side but at that she quickly thrust the ranchy avocadoey drippy ripped bag at my teen in the front passenger seat and took off. Fortunately, we had said paper towels so we cleaned it up. We went to a nearby park parking lot to eat. My salad was missing its steak. Sigh. Teen shared some chicken. It was good. I facebook messaged them when we got home and got a quick response and they resolved the issue of my salad for us which I appreciated. I internally debated how to write this review. I like them. That girl though, she knew the bag was a mess and handed it to us anyway and she needed some gloves/mask sorta situation for handling food right now. Hopefully this won't happen to anyone else. We will go again of course. Their salads rock. read more

Garden Monsters - kid's build: romaine, feta, olives, cukes, cranberries, gr chick, bacon, avocado w/ avocado ranch ordered online?@ $22 ouch - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I was a bit let down after hearing good things about Garden Monsters. We ordered 20 minutes ahead of time and arrived to find they hadn't noticed our order so we had to wait another 15 mins. Kind of odd because it wasn't busy at all. We got 2 wraps at $20 each and were bummed to find there was very little chicken on either wrap. It wasn't worth the cost in my opinion. I'll give it to them they were generous with the lettuce. I'd give them 2.5 if it were an option. read more

Josh is the GOAT when it comes to salads. Always serving them up fast and with a smile on his face! My favorite to get is always the Macho Taco, but don't sleep on their steak melts, that blew my socks off. Skip the TBell Crunchwrap, trust me. read more

The vegan macho taco is my favorite salad in Portland. I like to order ahead for lunch as they get very busy which makes sense because their salads and wraps are delicious. read more

Their vegan Caeser dressing is delicious! And since its vegan, it's healthy right? No calories? :) Would recommend their salads, as they are huge, plus you can stuff them in a tortilla shell and it's essentially a salad burrito! I have a difficult time paying premium prices for salads, but I guess I'll do it... Again and again for Garden Monsters. read more

I've been to the Garden Monster Food Truck a few times, and I have to say, their salads are good! I've only tried the Cobb salad, but it's consistently fresh and delicious. Nothing fancy, just a solid, well-made salad. The ingredients are always crisp and the flavors are well-balanced. If you're looking for a healthy and tasty option check out Garden Monster! read more

If I could eat here everyday I would. I LOVE the Hercules salads with honey mustard sauce and it's inspired me to try to make my own. It's so nice to have a fresh and healthy food cart, if you guys could open a brick and mortar I'd fully support! read more

Spicy monster melt was amazing. Easily one of my favorite things o have ever had at a food truck. You have to try it. Visiting from out of town and last have to stop by again before we leave. read more

I stumbled upon this food cart during the summer and I have not been able to stop craving it. I always get the cobb with chicken and it is made to perfection every single time no matter who is making it. The price is around $19 bucks so yes, its steep for a salad, but the sizing is huge and can easily last a couple days if you get the dressing on the side. If you eat it there their large is even bigger. And im a fan of paying for fresh healthy food. Their staff is friendly enough, and they have the option to order ahead or to do a touch order when you get there so you dont have to speak to anyone if you choose. Do I wash this salad down with an ice cold beer? yes, yes I do. Honestly visit this place, you wont be disappointed. read more

Salad is life. Salad Monsters is a favorite spot for me because there is just something delightful about their dressings. To be completely transparent: I always order the same item: The Oregon Trail as a wrap, add chicken and hold the tomatoes. The sweet/savory/salty and crunchy goodness of this wrap calls to me in my dreams at night. If I lived closer, I'd eat there daily. I'm sure I'd also be obsessed with other menu items if so were to try them, but I'll stick to The Oregon Trail for now! Pro Tip: order online before you go. Saves on your wait time. read more

Yum!!! Love their salads. So tasty and fresh and they have loads of vegetarian options which is fantastic. Thank you!!

Expensive for a salad wrap (about $13) but worth every penny! And they have punch cards! The girl working there is super rad. I got the big sized Cesar wrap with vegan chicken. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. It is a huge burrito style wrap. I eat it all in one sitting I think mostly because it's almost all romaine so it's basically water, but the Cesar dressing is flavorful and the chicken is tasty too. It's located in a food truck pod with a few different options- Hawaiian/Korean, Mexican, American burgers and waffles. They have picnic tables with umbrellas and a small seating area inside. When it's nice out, there is also a deck area. read more

Garden Monsters - Cesar wrap (I already ate 2/3 of it...it's huge) - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Delicious food! Garden Monsters makes me crave salad, which is unheard of. I love the wrap. It's like a salad burrito. All these haters with their one star reviews...be realistic. This is a food cart, not an Olive Garden. You can't expect Prime Now from a tiny business like this. read more

Really like their menu and the vegan chicken deserves 5 stars, but I asked for balsamic dressing and the salad tasted like it just had some oil on it... maybe something got forgotten, because I couldn't taste any vinegar at all. They were pretty light on the feta too. My husband ordered a full size and received a half, and they realized they forgot to include the artichokes when we asked them to check if he got charged for the full size... so it wasn't the most satisfying experience but I would still come back to try something else with the vegan chicken in it. Would love to update this to 5 stars next time :) They have CBD sparkling water which is pretty cool too. read more

Still so good! Went back again recently to get the salads in wraps. Yummmmm. The vegan options are delicious. The dressings are awesome. The balance of ingredients is on point. I wish there was one closer by me in the 'Burbs. One can wish. read more

Tasty salads and really good wraps if you're looking for a fresh and hearty meal. I like being able to add chicken to the salad wraps.

Not reliable. Arrived at 4:30p today to order a salad. Girl at the window said they were closed. Which contradicted the hours posted; stated as closed from 3-4p. read more

Just got their macho taco salad with added avocados and beef. Paid extra $2 for adding avocados but my salad didn't have any avocados in it. The beef is very tough and dry. Disappointed with my food and service. read more

My friend whos been to Portland and Garden Monsters before and she highly recommended this to me when we visited. I like salads, dont get me wrong, but i can't imagine a salad being THAT good that out of all the Portland restaurants to go, she wanted us to come here and eat a salad. The salads were underwhelming to me and was nothing special. Yes they were good, but they werent life changing and I wish we were ate somewhere else cause I know Portland has so much more to offer. Pros: - They have a great selections of salads to choose from so theres something here for everyone! They also have a lot of vegan and vegetarian options for everyone so i love they had everyone in mind when it came to the menu. Mehs: - I ordered the Colossal Cobb and it was okay. I liked the avocado ranch dressing and the sauce itself was great but the salad was average. I ordered the mini size with is $5 and i added chicken which was an extra $2.50 which i thought was kinda of pricey to add chicken to the smallest bowl they had. I know everything is organic and healthy for you but i dont taste the difference and all of that doesnt matter to me. Cons: NONE read more

Honking large-ass salad. I know I can't be the only one to say that, or am I? I'm certainly not stating anything new to those of you who have eaten at any Garden Monsters location. Granted I also got the larger of the two salads. I gotta figure that even the smaller option is still a decent meal for anyone. Hidden within the food pods on Division is Garden Monsters. I've seen their locations on Alberta and down at the South Waterfront and decided, yeah let me eat healthy today, for a change. Salad is healthy, right? As long as it's not drenched in a cream based dressing. Good thing they had a vinagrette that I liked. So I went with a Cobb salad with turkey and a balsamic vinagrette. Egg, bleu cheese, house made croutons, mixed lettuce, black olives, tomatoes. So far so good on the healthiness, all in one giant metal bowl that could have fed two string bean vegetarians (well besides the whole turkey in the salad thing) or one healthy person like myself. It was done up fast and fresh and the dressing was great. I really liked the croutons and the large chunks of turkey. It was a good choice on this day. The ladies running the cart today were friendly and asked how everything was when I returned the metal bowl. As I said, it's a huge meal, and if you aren't up to the task, stick with the smaller option or try a wrap. Although they could be huge as well..... I'll find that out another time. Enjoy. read more

The classic melt with steak was so delicious and very filling. I'm pretty sure I could drink a cup of the Sante Fe ranch sauce- I'll be ordering a jar of it next time for sure. I can't wait to try one of their salads, they sound amazing and with how good the melt was, I'm guessing the salads are fantastic. I also was super impressed with the delivery (ordered through DoorDash)- food arrived way earlier than expected! read more

I love Garden Monsters! They have such a great salad. Friends have really liked the melts too. (Which are basically big quesadillas.) The Paul Bunyan salad is my favorite. It comes with red potatoes and croutons. I like to get it with the vegan chicken, which is actually a little bit salty on its own but it goes well with any of the salads. I'm dairy free and am really happy that they have a fabulous vegan cesar dressing AND the vegan Santa Fe dressing is also really good. They offer melts in vegan too! It's way better to dine "in" (it's an outdoor food cart pod with seating) because the salads come in a big metal bowl instead of to-go when it comes in a big plastic bowl. Thank you Garden Monsters! read more

We like the salads at Garden Monster and were buying them pretty frequently until we went to the cart (alberta) and the guy working at the cart was SO rude and ignored my husband. He didn't say one word to him. When a white male walked up, he greeted him right away. When my husband mentioned it to him, he flippantly said that he "didn't see him." He didn't see a whole human, standing directly in front of his cart. It was completely disheartening and we will not be back. read more
