I've had this place on my list for awhile now so when I had some time to check it out, I took advantage. After reading reviews and looking at pictures of menus, the prices have certainly gone up a bit. I got a standard breakfast sandwich (Ronald? $8) with a vegetarian patty and a side of biscuit and jam ($4). Appreciated the fact that there was no additional charge for the vegetarian sausage. Sausage had good flavor BUT as you can see in the pic, the patty was pretty heavily burnt so while I could taste the sage and fennel of the sausage, I also got the unpleasant bitterness of the burnt bits. The redemption was definitely the biscuit! Wow! One of the best biscuits I've ever had, buttery and moist. The jam selections seemed impressive. The blueberry vanilla basil jam was delightful though a bit on the sweet side. All in all, I would definitely come back but would probably not get a breakfast sandwich. I would just get me some biscuits :) read more

Incredible food, incredible service, the owners are awesome! Lots of flavor, quick service and delicious. Cute food truck located at foster Powell food trucks! I got the Popeye subbed the bacon for the sausage and added the avocado and it was absolutely incredible. I don't think I've ever had a better more fluffier biscuit. 10/10 Will absolutely be back! read more

Found this gem via an Eater article. Located in the Foster-Powell neighborhood What We Had: - 2 egg sandwiches on biscuits (Belmont and Bourbon Blues) Pros: - A menu that has a lot of options without being overwhelming - The cart owner came out to give us our food and napkins individually - Amazing biscuits. Possibly better than Pine State. - Located in a food pod with many other food options Cons: - Open only Friday to Sunday but I can live with that :) Overall: 100% will be back again even though it's a little farther away for us in NE. Solid food. Solid service. Thank you! read more

YAY!! The Egg Carton is back at Carts on Foster. A good vegetarian breakfast sandwich is hard to find, but The Egg Carton has it! I just go for a simple version of vegetarian sausage, cheddar cheese and perfectly done medium over easy egg on English muffin, but there are fancier options too. Prices are VERY reasonable. Owners are very nice. read more

I still absolutely adore this food cart. Their breakfast sandwiches and potatoes are superior to any you'll find anywhere in Portland. My husband and I have been going her for probably 4 years now and always come back for more. We get the Hot Mama sausage on the Ronald sandwiches and it is delectable. Try it, you won't regret it. On top of amazing food, they are great people, so you get good food and support a very sweet local business. Can't get better than that. read more

This place is the best - we come here on weekends when they are open and the folks are just the nicest. Food is great and we can come with our dog, plenty of places to hang outside, appreciate the level of customer service and have never had a bad meal. We will keep coming back! read more

This is why I love PDX. The food truck culture offers so much to owner and customer. We get maximum eclectic choice because the entry bar is lower for those who are driven to be their own boss. So people appear who want to shine doing a handful of dishes well. Now there are plenty of bad food trucks out there. But I like the FOSTER street pod. The vibe of the area as a whole is really cool. The sitting area outside of Bocci salon, for example, is sweetly real and unpretentious. It's also cool as beans. Anyway, the Egg Carton. The chef/owner/cook is very straightforward and cooks with care. I was sticking around, and so got my dish played it up. As you can see in the photo, that's a lot of care for food truck cuisine. I love that. All the components tasted good, the price was fair, the portion was fair. Coffee was from a French press, I don't remember the name of the local roaster, but it was enjoyable and respectable. I'm not in the Foster Street area as much as I was when I first moved to town, but when I am and it's mealtime, the Foster Street pod is a solid go to, and the egg carton will do you right by breakfast. read more

We live super close to Foster Food Cart pod and I finally got around to trying The Egg Carton after hearing good things about it. Quality ingredients and the flavors of the hash with the red pepper aioli, pork belly, spinach, tomato and egg tasted really good together. The downfall was that the sweet potatoes in the hash were unfortunately quite mushy and not crispy like I prefer my hashes to be. I haven't tried any of their sandwiches but I'm not sure that I would spend my money on their hash again. read more

We have driven by Egg Carton one trillion times but we rarely got a chance to eat there before the pandemic. I had forgotten how impressive it is. They know how to take orders in a safe manner and they are still plenty fast given the circumstances. I ordered the Popeye Hash meal because they were running out of the biscuits and gravy breakfast. Holy smokes this dish was incredible. Every bite was absurdly flavorful. It was even glorious to look upon (see exhibit A). At first I thought the amount of food in the dish wasn't quite worth the cost but I was so wrong. The proprietor was pleasant, efficient, and safe. Bravo! read more

Was walking the area and stumbled upon this little corner with all the street food and this one looked and smelled the best so we ordered two sandwiches with no meat and sat down In the nice covered outdoor area. There was maybe a person in front of us before a big rush came, but we sat for a seemingly long time for a sandwich with only an egg to fry. When we did get them, they were cold. Not sure if that's how they're supposed to be served but it wasn't our cup of tea and we paid $8-9 a peice for something the size of my palm, that got wrapped in brown paper, and had one 50 cent egg in it/no "expensive" protein. Over-priced for what we got. Waited too long. (I think they prioritized phone orders, also their cooks bring out the food instead of calling names. Convenient, yes, but seems inefficient) An expected warm morning breakfast food was served cold. Wanted this one to be good but it wasn't for us. We might try again, but there's a lot of choices in Portland and this one didnt impress. read more

This place is phenomenal! I saw it driving by and I'm so glad I decided to stop. Delicious, unique Portland food without the premium Portland pricing! Seriously, for the food, the prices are great. I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches and a Raspberry Lemonade. The lemonade is so tart and refreshing! It's not too sweet to be a morning drink. I personally ate the Bourbon Blues with bacon (up-charge for bacon totally worth it for me) & I opted to have it on a homemade biscuit for an extra $1 (also super worth it). Quite possibly the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Sweet, salty, savory, it truly hit all the marks. They did not overdue it with the syrup which I appreciate. The blueberry vanilla basil jam adds such a nice, fresh twist, all together I get a blueberry pancake vibe. The sausage was good (not as seasoned as I would like), but as a bacon gal, that addition took my sandwich over the top. Overall, I had such a hard time choosing food that I will DEFINITELY be back to work my way through the menu. Hit the spot for a great start to the weekend! read more

These peeps are sweet. There isn't a bad thing on the menu, and everything sounds good at all times. Why? Because it is. One of the greatest food items ever made was the breakfast sandwich, which is limitless in its offerings.

This is my boyfriend and my first time in Portland and we wanted to try local some local food! Pros: This place stayed open until 2pm even on Easter! The folks were really nice and even brought the food from the cart and to the seating area. The Eggs Benedict was ok, but I like that there was more than just the classic Benedict. Cons: For the price of the food, it wasn't as filling as we would hope. I try to get the Eggs Benedict for each new brunch place that I go to and their plate had no sides to go with the meal (you would have to pay extra for sides). For two: a classic Benedict + classic Benedict with avocado and tomatoes, a coffee and a bottled water with tip came to a total of $25, which wouldn't be bad if we were at least somewhat full afterwards. The coffee also was pretty sour for some reason but it could've been the effect of the hollandaise sauce. Because this is a local though, I would try it again for different plate if I'm ever in the area! read more

The weekend biscuits are wonderful. My favorite sandwich is the bourbon blues. The prep time is usually very quick and the staff is always friendly. The ingredients are high quality and the menu has some very unique items. The only issue I have ever had was cold eggs, but that has only happened twice in the fifteen to twenty times I have ordered from them. read more

Yum. Yuuuum. Oh my god. Yum! My new DP and I went here this morning for breakfast on our way to do a million and one ERRANDS. And after a few. This place is the shizel for breakfast sandwiches... Which I and my new dining partner love. A lot. So they have a lot of choices but I say... spring for the extra buck and get the delicious biscuit! The DP had a Canadian Bacon thing leaking egg yolk in a fantastic way on an English muffin... I had a Jack-n-the-bean on a muffin with house pickled jalapeños that give my own a run for the money... Smart-ass breakfast at it's finest! And the basket of hot sauces. read more

The great thing about this place is that there's no huge line or wait for brunch... which in Portland, is hard to find. The people who work the cart are friendly and helpful. We ordered the arugulove and the hash with avocado. They said if we wanted to, we could sit in an inside area around the corner and they could bring us the food. Great! We found the spot and it was quiet and kept us warm. The woman brought us our food, and I must say, I throughly enjoyed it. The sandwich was definitely the winner where as the hash was mediocre. I was disappointed by their avocado. It was a strange blended mixture, not sliced (see in photos). The food was really good overall. I really liked the sandwich and would come back for that specific item again. Tip: definitely get it on the homemade biscuit. read more

You have to go! Owner was on the TV show "chopped" so when we came to Portland I had to try it. Took my dad & husband for Father's day. We all got something different and we all LOVED our food!

"Mmm...speed-eating dessert-y pancakes..." On June 23, I returned to The Egg Carton, basically because Sarah and Tim are masters at luring me to eat a gluttonous breakfast. Granted, I'd do it anyway, but when you basically make a near-3-pound "dessert" for a breakfast item, I had to somehow turn it into an unofficial food challenge. At this rate, I'll be amazed if the panda doesn't get diabetes in the next five years. I mean, serving Devil's Food chocolate pancakes is one thing, but then to offer a "Devil's Tower" of five pancakes just makes any sweet tooth succumb to the sheer food porn that awaits. As a note, the "Devil's Tower" was not on the menu, but basically was $12. The more normal-sized portion of that week's special (just two pancakes) was $7. Oh, and for your sugary pleasure, let's add macerated strawberries and tons of chocolate syrup between each pancake, top it with a cloud of whipped cream, more chocolate syrup, and chocolate chips. I figure if I wish hard enough, I can convince myself it's fat free and sugar free. Hey, let's add a side of bacon! Only two strips, but still enough meat crack to make everything better. It weighed slightly less than three pounds, not really much of a quantity challenge. While I could have upped the stakes and asked for more food, I figured Oregon could use more speed challenges. I massacred everything -- pancakes and bacon -- in about four minutes. Think you can eat this meal faster? I'm sure there are a bunch who can, especially if they are professional eaters. Of course, I videotaped my food destruction. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLqXyWpRDPE) Sorry ladies, this doesn't look pretty. Tim watched on the side, just out of the camera's view. Even as I blitzed through the copious amounts of starch, fruit, chocolate, and whipped cream, I still enjoyed every bite. The pancakes were extremely light, going down the hatch very easily because it soaked up all that chocolate and the saucy strawberries. The dish was not as sweet as I thought it would be, leaving me pleasantly surprised. Perhaps that's another reason why I could motor so quickly through everything. Overly sweet = immediate panda coma. Not here. OK, so I fought the food coma on the way home, but hey, it took a while to kick in. Before I turned into a pancake savage, I also drank some coffee here. Sarah offers Cellar Door Coffee, probably a light to medium roast here. It works for people that need that invigorating caffeinated punch in the morning. Personally, I'd rather get jolted with a bold, dark-roasted, full-bodied cup o' Joe. One of my friends enjoyed the FoPo Cristo, the very item I raved about on my first visit. I'm glad the cristo stayed on the menu. This Devil's Tower won't be on the menu all the time, mainly because strawberries are a seasonal fruit. But I would love it if pancakes remained on the menu, rotating pancake flavors and seasonal fruit items. Another food challenge idea: simply increase the number of pancakes and strips of bacon. Seemingly endless possibilities! I'd definitely like to try the Eggs Benedict and the French Toast, two main menu items that have eluded my mighty panda jaw so far. If you're a breakfast fan like me, head to this food cart! read more

Love love love love!! This cart was more than what I was expecting. The food was so good! It was something I'd expect from a great breakfast restaurant. Time I walked up I smelled the amazing aroma that is bacon!!! Wonderful scents of biscuits, eggs and ham filled my nostrils. It took me a minute to figure out what I wanted because everything on their menu sounded amazing. I settled on what I believe is the FoPo Cristo. Listen; French toast with jelly, Dijon mustard, bacon, cheese and an over easy egg with powdered sugar sprinkled on top! Yassss, lawd, yassss! The combination sounded a little weird at first but from others reviews and pictures, I had to get it! The French toast was delicious, just a tad bit soggy on the inside from the jelly but that also could of been due to the fact that I had to chase my toddler before I could eat. I loved the crispy bacon and ham. I don't like over easy eggs and forgot to ask them to fry it but it actually wasn't super runny so I still ended up eating most of it. I will for sure be back. The staff members were super sweet! My daughter kept waving and saying hi! There are some benches in front of the carts and I can imagine they fill up quickly but we went early so it wasn't a large crowd. Can't wait to try another item!! read more

Ate here for the first time today and got the popeye hash. It was very tasty overall but I felt like it could have used a bit more acidity. The potatoes were soft and pillowy which was great but they could have used a little crunch. I did see pieces of rosemary on them but couldn't taste it. My only other criticism is that the dish was way too greasy. Aside from those things I enjoyed it and will be back to try other Egg Carton offerings. The cart chef was very friendly. read more

Love this cart made me the best pancakes I've ever tasted in Portland. So fluffy and eggy. When I went she had the blueberry pancake with maple cinnamon syrup. It was so delicious and tasty. The owner informed me that she had brunch on Sundays and also rotating seasonal pancake flavors depending on what fresh local produce is in season. Can't wait to go back for brunch and try some of her other yummy options. They also have French press coffee!! read more

Very good Sunday breakfast/brunch. There was no wait ordering, but there was a little wait for the food. Granted that there was 5 groups ahead of us, and the workers checked up on us and apologized for the long wait. There was plenty of sitting and there was a couple of games that kept us entertained while we waited. The wait was definitely worth it! We got the FoPo Cristo and Eggs Benedict with a side of bacon, also got their raspberry lemonade to drink. The lemonade was refreshing and had a nice tart flavor, which I loved. The food was just fabulous, we loved every bite and cleaned our plates. Definitely planning on going back and trying different items on the list. It was also very nice to have our food delivered and on real plates and silverware! read more
