    Poptart

    This was one of the best sandwich (and poptart!) I have had in a while! The service was great, both people very friendly - I got their special pop, lock & pesto sandwich, so delicious and the biscuit was fresh, incredible all the way around.

    Menu photo The food here is SO GOOD! Little family owned and operated cart and everything is incredible. I actually called them after we got home to thank them Because the food was so amazing. Absolutely recommend grabbing food here to go on your way to (or from) anywhere. I recommend the one with the jam on the sandwich!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The Bourbon Blues with Bacon
    Lanna F.

    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!

    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.

Everything we ordered was gorgeous and whimsical in presentation, but of course that would mean little without the flavors to back it all up, which it had in spades. The Thai steak tartare tostadas were incredibly balanced, with brightness and herbaceous notes from the vegetables, herbs, and sauce, great punch from the Thai spices, richness from the tartare, and a nice snap and slight nuttiness from the tapioca crisps cradling everything underneath. The foie gras dumplings were simply divine. I expected them to be rich and dense, but they were like little pillows, with a savory filling and a perfect balance of smoked leek broth, crispy fried leeks, and a caramelized shallot jam that ended up being the surprise star of the dish for me. Then came the main event, the Duck Stack, which I can only describe as a McGriddle on steroids (in the best possible way!). Somehow it all worked beautifully, with the rich duck gravy, fluffy pancakes drenched in syrup, spiced onions, and a fried duck egg tying everything together in perfect harmony. It was one of those dishes that sounds wild on paper but is totally brilliant on the plate and in your mouth. Really fantastic meal from start to finish, and I'm already excited to come back to try more of the menu (and the happy hour!) on a future visit.

The garlic fries were spicy in the best way, perfectly crisp, and served steaming hot. The Duck Stack (pancakes covered with duck gravy, onions, and a duck egg) sounded a bit odd to me (and probably many others). When I asked the server if it was good, they told me that people travel to the restaurant specifically for that dish. I'm glad I tried it. Again, very unique with a well balanced spice profile paired with the delicious undertones of a hot pancake. I know I would have never thought of that, doesn't sound like it should work, but....it worked! Service was great, atmosphere was a bit loud with a band playing next door, it was a bit overwhelming, plus a random dude walked into the restaurant and a server lit his joint for him as a courtesy(?)...stunk the place up for a few minutes, but as I thought about it, I decided that was about the most "Portland" thing I had seen all week on my trip :) I'll be going back for sure, I would love to taste through that entire menu. Did I mention the Foie Gras Dumplings? I never had anything like them in my life. That's a dish I would definitely travel back to Portland for.

Overall, I'd definitely join a friend for coffee and lunch over there in the future. Just wouldn't be my top pick for a celebratory brunch or intimate dinner with a date or friends and fam.

    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.

    I've only been to the Lardo in PDX (is it still there?), so I felt like I needed to give the brick…read moreand mortar a chance because, let's face it, the one in PDX is meh. 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!
