One of the better carts in the Happy Valley Station truck pod. I'm not a cheesesteak connoisseur by any stretch, but love a good sandwich, and these hit all the notes. Have to add that on a recent visit, the owner or employee working sounded like he had Biden Derangement Syndrome, as I overheard him complaining to some guy in front of me saying 'F Joe Biden,' even though he's been out of office for months. Seemed real weird so I went to another cart. Credit for their bread, which has a nice thin crispy shell, and soft chewy inside, without being too thick. I've only ever tried the chicken versions, but the Southwest one with the green chilies is a standout. My buddy tried the steak one and said it was too salty. Appreciate the low plastic usage at this cart, sandwiches are just wrapped in paper. I do feel like for the $, the sandos should include bit more meat, without having to pay extra for more. Otherwise these warm wraps hit the spot on a cool day. read more

Where's the beef on my sandwich? Very skimpy for $10. There seemed to be more cheese whiz on it than meat. Was visiting the area and was disappointed in this place. read more

Every meal I've had here has been fantastic! Have you tried the sides here???? The onion rings and Mac bites are delicious! My favorite sandwich has consistently been the Phatz dip. My hubby tries something different almost every time we visit. His latest favorite was the stroganoff. The staff is always friendly and the service is fast for being a made to order place. We'll be back soon for more! read more

My middle son's go-to choice during every visit to Happy Valley Station. I haven't had the pleasure of a good cheesesteak here yet, but my perennially picky eater (the kid doesn't like *bacon*, for God's sake!) devours all of his in their entirety, every time, so I feel like that's gotta be a good sign. They're among the slower of the carts when it comes to turn around time from order to table, but not egregiously so. Portion sizes are plentiful, even when ordering the smaller of the two available sizes. read more

Walked up to window wanted to order window was shut and he finally opened it and said it was 45 min wait for food and told me if I think about it it will be 55 min 3 seconds later said okay 60 min and just shut the window walked away really rude do not recommend after that customer service read more

I always watch the fresh prince of bel air so I crave a Philly cheesesteak that will satisfy my portrayal of what it would taste like. Tried this place out and it wasn't bad. The meat felt kind of scarce but had a good flavor with the creme cheese filling. In terms of flavor, it just felt like it was lacking one more thing to take it home, aside from more filling. The fries were crispy but gave a hint of raw potato taste, if that makes sense? I did get the au jus dip which brought the whole meal together alittle. Overall didn't quite do it for me but that's just my personal preference. read more

Solid. Will return, for sure. The Classic was on point. Could use a little more steak but not a deal breaker. I've had cheesesteaks all over eat the country, this checked the primary requirements for a proper cheesesteak. read more

Portions were much smaller than expected and my wife was sick all night and the next day afterwards. Very disappointed

I tried Phatz Philly Cheesesteak at the Troutdale Food Carts recently and was greatly disappointed. I got their classic cheesesteak and made it a combo with fries and a drink. The sandwich was one of the worst cheesesteaks I've had. It seemed really small, was not very flavorful and was on bread that left a lot to be desired. I realize that we're not in Philly, but I've had far better cheesesteaks from chains and would have thought that a food cart specializing in very specific food would have been better. read more

This was our first time to Happy Valley Food Courts. It was massively busy, but there were a ton of food options. Enter Phatz. Sometimes a nice, juicy cheesesteak sounds irresistible. And this was one of those times. There wasn't too much of a line so we didn't have to wait too long before ordering. We ordered the The Stroganoff and The Southwest. They give you a buzzer so you can go explore other options or find seating while you wait. It only took about 10 minutes before it buzzed. Stoked, my husband went up to get our meal. He took a peak in the bag and commented on huh big they looked. We took our food to a park and pulled out the sandwiches. They seemed very light at that point. We opened the sandwiches and discovered there wasn't much meat. I wouldn't say extremely sparse, but it was a little less than we were expecting. Mine had some cheese on it and had decent flavor. But I didn't love it. My husband enjoyed his more and liked that it came with a little sauce or something. Overall, it was underwhelming for us, but I wouldn't tell people to avoid it. Remember 3 stars is still good! read more

Tried this place tonight. Too salty can't finish. Not even close to a Philly. Recommend pass on this place fast out disgusting

Phatz Philly cheese probably makes the BEST sandwiches around. Ordered here just to try and was not disappointed. Very flavorful meat, crispy bread, and don't sleep on the au jus. Great options and they build it up quick. read more

Phatz is nothing noteworthy. Bland, muted, muddled flavors, and barely any of the extras that I ordered (I literally found about five slices of mushroom in the entire sandwich). The bread also tasted stale. The price is very high for both the small quantity and low quality of their food. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Best cheesesteaks in town!!! I frequent this cart, I'm disabled so I love that they offer Uber eats too!!!

Phatz Philly Cheesesteaks - Philly with cheddar - Food Trucks Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

Phartz cheese steaks you gotta do better. The help gets confused very easy so don't modify your order too much. Sandwich flavor is meh but that's fine. 1 star for the little boy portions. Sandwich is tiny and it's mostly bread. They are very stingy with the meats. Fries were from frozen and sucked. I will go back to happy valley food carts but not phartz. Phartz cheesesteaks are not fat like the name says. Eat here if you are a toddler or just need a small snack. If you are an adult or a good sized child you will leave here hungry. Phartz no thank you. Gave my whole family extremely bad gas. read more

I hate to leave a bad review, but felt I should share our experience today after reading many similar experiences shared in the other reviews here. Main point of the story: we never got our food. We ordered from 3 other carts at around the same time we ordered a single order of tenders and fries from Phatz... including a whole crab boil, 2 double burgers & tots, and a Thai iced tea. By the time we had all the food from the other carts at our table, we started eating and after a few minutes our youngest still didn't have his meal from here. The buzzer never buzzed and we kept waiting for it. My husband waited as long as he could and then went back up to the window where they told him it would be another 10 minutes. He told them to cancel the order at that point because we were all going to be finished with our other meals. We ended up sharing with our son what we had, but he was super disappointed as anyone would be in this situation. With the cost of the space and a busy area, it's a shame this sounds like a pretty common occurrence at this food cart. The reviews for the food aren't any better so we won't be giving a second chance. The customers are there and ready to support, but the poor food and service means this cart won't survive and they'll have to open this spot for a good cart to take its place. read more

In regards to Philly Cheesesteaks...easily some of the best I have outside of the real deal in Philly...although they might be better. Service was quick. Food came as ordered. The melt they get on the cheese, the favorite and tenderness of the meat and the taste of the onions merge into an outstanding sandwich that makes my mouth water just writing this. It will become a frequent stop for us! read more

So there's really not much to a cheesesteak. I know I'll catch shade from the real philly people but if a steak is seasoned properly then Whiz is too salty. So I channeled my inner John Kerry and got the provolone. I like the volume of meat. It fits the price. I like me a thicker cut of mushroom, but what are you gonna do. I read some other reviews and they are right on. It's the roll. Stale isn't the right word but something just didn't work for it. I also thought I might have tasted butter on the roll. I don't know if I like that. Made it a little too rich. Was it a good steak. Yes. Would I drive a long way to get it. Doubtful. read more

Rip off. They charge $11 for chicken fingers and fries. The picture shows 4 chicken strips. What they served was 2. When I asked about it, he's like, "Oh they should change the picture." Yeah- and lower the price! They aren't even any good, either. What a rip off.... read more

A bunch of friends from Philadelphia and I decided to have a "Cheesesteak Cabinet". We gathered together all brought a cheesesteak or two to a big table at a local pub and "graded" the offerings. We had about 12 different Cheesesteaks and cut small pieces of each one. When the dust settled to my surprise and delight Phatz Philly Cheesesteaks finished 2nd out of 12. Considering these come from a food cart and there was at least 90 minutes in between pickup and consumption it ranked very high! Price was reasonable. Bummer they were out of cheese Whiz but provolone substituted. Keep the Jawn going Phatz. We'll be supporting you! read more

Didn't have a chance to try, the two kids whom are working the cart today seemed wholly disinterested in serving customers. I stood at the window for a few minutes while the young man was doing prep work, he looked right at me and then looked away, the young lady stepped near the window looked at me and then looked away with no acknowledment. I'm having a gyro instead. read more

We ordered takeout from this place and when we got there they had lost our order. She deleted "by accident". No I will get right on it, nothing. Don't order from them or thru Grubhub. read more

Ok, so this is a food cart..food carts are small and should be set up to run efficiently. The six other people in my party ordered from different carts. They all got their order and finished their meal long before I even received mine. My group a came to see if I was ok...that's how long it took to get a Philly and fries. I mean come on, we are dealing with cooking some shaved beef with a few onions and peppers...slapping it in a roll. It shouldn't take more than a half hour for a cheesesteak. No the sandwich was actually decent, that's why they got the second star. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. I went on an off time so there was no wait I ordered and was promptly served. The meat is a really good texture and chopped just right and they're condiments were fresh. I really enjoyed their bread which seems to be a detriment to the Portland area, you can't really find good bread around here and they managed to do so it really helps with the sandwich. Price is a bit steep but it is a good product and I would go there again read more

Awesome sandwiches! The staff was super friendly and the food was reasonably priced. I will be heading back regularly.

Made to order Phillies that were fire!! Highly recommend #7 which reminded me of my time in Philly.

Had the loaded fries and a pastrami. The meat on the fries was too salty. Fries overall were pretty dry and really salty pastrami was too dry too. So sad... was expecting it to be good. read more

Best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had. the bread is delicious if you want a really good sandwich add cream cheese

A sad visit to what was once a favorite. Placed our order and were given a beeper to let us know when our order was ready. We waited. And waited. And waited some more. Finally went back to the window where the teenager cashier was doing nothing. No line. I asked about my order. It was sitting alone on their counter. "Oh I forgot to push the button." So we got a very cold order. Decided at this point to take it home to heat it up instead of enjoying a beer with our meal. Hungry we dove into the onion rings... one bite each. Gag. Not only were they lukewarm at best, the rancid taste of old oil was overwhelming. Not sure when they changed it last, but it wasn't recently. Ok, finally home to the sandwiches. Very minimal meat, cheese, and onions, to a lot of bread. Not nearly the amount they used to give. They have continuously raised their prices, so I wouldn't think they would have to skimp on oil changing or the amount of what you go there for. This was probably our last visit to a once great food cart that has sunk below mediocrity. read more

No meat in the sandwich. service from the guy was shit.. and i mean he sucked at making the sandwich . it was just bread. i don't recommend it if the low intelligence of a skinny boy is there read more

Very disappointed with this food cart at HV on Sunnyside. The sandwich was very small, the pictures showed loads of meat and cheese oozing out of the bread, very deceptive barely any meat or cheese. The au jus was cold. Won't recommend this food cart. Talj about false advertising. Tried the smile burger the week before and it was great, should've went back there instead. read more

I had the Philly cheesesteak with onions, mushrooms, cheese whiz, and provolone with Au Jus as a dipping sauce. Bread was soft and chewy. It was delicious. I saw someone order the onion rings. This looked good too. Next time. read more

First of all, I loved the taste of the classic philly cheese steak at this place. But... I feel like it should have had more meat for the price. There wasn't enough meat to stretch over the bread. Fries were great. read more

I've been waiting for the new location in Troutdale to open......one it did, I ordered a classic steak sandwich. The bread was horribly undercooked. It needed another 3-5 minutes backing time. I was bloated for hours because of it. Hard Pass on this place! Buyers remorse! read more

There's more bread than actual steak hardly any onions or green peppers as well but I have to say I definitely was full at the end full of bread You need less bread and more meat read more

The veggie one was Excellent! I love to find vegetarian versions of ol favorites, and when I find something that doesn't make me miss meat - I'll definitely be coming back! Thank you read more

We were pretty disappointed with going here. The philly sandwiches were not filled very much, more bread than anything. Had an order of onion rings and they were soooo bland, like no seasoning on them at all. They didn't give us any dipping sauces nor did they offer any. No napkins were given to us either. Sad to say we won't be returning here. read more

I can't say enough good things. The owners are great people who make even greater food. The prices are extremely reasonable and the cheesesteaks are the best in Oregon! The service was fast and Karen made sure my order was perfect. This cart is a MUST if you go to the HV Station! read more
