What a fantastic new food cart pod. The selection of food is outstanding. Complete with a very large indoor eating pavilion that has two bars to buy drinks at. I chose crack crab, which is a seafood boil trailer. My wife had food from the montage. We used to go to the restaurant underneath the bridges all the time. The food is great. I had the number two seafood boil, which includes 20 shrimp. Corn on the cob, sausage, potatoes, and a large amount of butter. There are several toppings to choose from, and I went with lemon pepper. Loved it! The gentleman working the trailer was very friendly, very engaging and did a great job preparing the food. This was my first trip to the heist and I will be back to try other trailers. read more

Back at Heist. Today we enjoyed spicy Pork Udon from and Soft shell crab from Both offerings were well-seasoned, super tasty. Noise level is very high especially in the indoor dining area. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

This is another food cart spot in Portland and I think I read that it has the largest indoor seating area. The amount of actual carts outside isn't as many as I expected, and the ones I wanted like the cookies were actually closed when I went. We ended up just ordering a meal for our kids. The guy was so grumpy and impatient, but at least it was the only bad service I received during my whole Portland trip. Other than that, the actual place itself is very nice inside. Tons of TVs and I could see this being a popular hangout spot on the weekends or at night. There is a small arcade inside, but it only fits a few games. There is also a coffee shop inside which I thought was a bar at first glance, but they had some good specialty drinks available. We tried the pistachio cream mocha and it was pretty good despite not having actual pistachio visible. I'm not sure I'd be in a rush to come back unless I wanted indoor seating specifically. read more

The Heist - Pistachio Cream Mocha - Food Court Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Met some friends for a birthday get together here and it was a fun time! It is VERY crowded on weekends. We were able to get seats outside and it was a not too hot day. A couple of friends and I went to Frybaby to try the Korean fried chicken. The truly exciting part was that they have many gluten free options. I had the chicken tenders and they were super delish. The cucumber salad was pretty good, but a bit spicy for me. The radish salad was excellent. One of our other friends got food from Isla Bella, which is Cuban food. She got a basket of fried plantains and they were also gluten free! I don't always like plantains but these were great. She also got the Cuban chicken sandwich, which looked delicious. This is a fun place to go with some friends, but I would try to go on the more off hours. read more

My new favorite food cart pod in Portland! What a cool place - so many food trucks with a wide variety of food items, lots of seating inside and out, as well as nice fun touches like a VW bus "art installation" and an outside area where kids can play. The inside seating area also has a bar - service was prompt and friendly. The Heist is a remodeled bank building that boasted a true bank robbery back in the day (fun fact: the real bank robber was in attendance at the grand opening!). Remnants from the former bank that The Heist is located in are cleverly designed into the decor everywhere you look. I ordered food from Golden Triangle and a Liquid Death Cherry Obituary from the bar to drink. Yummy yummy yummy! Oh yeah, Poison Waters hosts the Drag Queen Brunch at The Heist. Check it out! Fun place to eat and hang out - can't wait to go back and try something else... maybe I'll see you there at the next Drag Queen Brunch. read more

There are many options in this food cart section! Prices are so'so! It was busy but service was fast & there were lots of places to try. One thing to note is none of the carts offer drinks, you need to buy from the two vending machines onsite or hit the bar like area inside for craft drinks. Family friendly and pet friendly. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Great food but terrible service at the bar. The bartenders ring up the next person before getting you your drinks so there tends to be a mismanaged crowd at the register. After ordering I tried to step aside for the customer behind me but there was nowhere to stand, and the bartender with pinkish/red hair shouted "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY I WILL NOT SAY IT AGAIN." The older woman next to me ended up leaving without her soda and everyone else in line was stunned that the bartender was so rude. One of the other bartenders was on her phone the whole time and ignored a customer asking where the water station is (which come to find out is next to the restroom-interesting choice). Due to the poor service I won't be back. I also emailed to give this feedback to a Manager directly instead of leaving a review but no one ever responded. read more

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. read more

The Heist - Japanese logger from their taps. Really good. - Food Court Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Very impressive setup with so many carts and seating outside has umbrellas and lots inside with TVs and the bar. A bit noisy inside so we sat outside. Saturday night with nice fall weather but dry the place is packed. Everyone having a good time. Lots of variety of carts and some dessert ones too. I got a cider from the bar that was an amazing fall cider. Now I have to go back soon or find it somewhere else. There are even people wiping down the tables occasionally. Well run pod! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Heist is a cool food cart pod at a former bank, hence the name. The outside is fully covered with overhead hangings so that you don't get wet while trying to decide what to get. The inside is spacious and features a bar and a coffee shop. We went on a Sunday and it was pretty busy, with the coffee line being most popular. There is a great variety of carts so you could eat here all the time and not get bored. Neighborhood residents are lucky to have this place. read more

First time checking out The Heist and it was a pretty cool setup. The space is within an old bank (hence the name) and is setup with food carts on the outside and then a closed indoor seating area. Seems like a place that would really thrive in the summer, but also nice they have the indoor seating. It was busy when we arrived on a Saturday night but luckily we were able to find a table relatively quickly. The space is themed and has some interesting areas which makes for a unique atmosphere. Food wise, I went with the schwarma cart. Overall a tasty meal and a decent portion. Could have used a few less dip. Prices for all stations range from $12-24 which is to be expected. The bar inside has a healthy list of fresh beers and spirits as well. Definitely a fun visit if you're in the area. read more

One of the best indoor food cart venues. There is tons of space, with a wide variety of seating. The bar has a ton of taps and things to try, and everyone I've met who works there is so kind. If I need to get some work done, and just want to hang, drink some beers, and have some great cart food I go to Heist. There's an old bank vault too, and an arcade, you cannot go wrong. read more

We have been a few times. We go every couple months. The food carts/trucks change often. So they are there and they are gone. Hopefully the newer places will stay longer. Street parking is challenging to find. If you can walm or ride your bike there it might be easier. They have really nice outdoor seating areas with fire pits there with andorodank chairs un the summer. They have quite a few outdoor covered areas are year round. They also have a huge indoor seating area with a bar in it. We went the other day inside which we do not isally do. It was insanely busy. It was quite loud due to cement floors and open high ceilings. It was hard to talk in there when they are that busy. read more

Woodstock has always been an area I love to visit when possible. The new food pod just makes Woodstock even more special. It used to be a bank and upon walking in, there is plenty of seating. To the left is the bank vault which you could open some of the storage units. They have a bar area and also a nicely tucked away pinball room just past the bathrooms. There are a good amount of food cart options outside and even a cafe just by the entrance. Service was friendly and the ambiance is wonderful. I look forward to many more visits to the pod for hopefully years to come, cheers! read more

The Heist is not only a pod of diverse food carts, it's a fun location to explore. We loved how it once was a bank and now a place for many to enjoy tasty food. The service and ambiance at the Heist has always been great from our experience. We're working on visiting the different carts, with Golden Triangle as our favorite so far. We LOVE their salt and pepper squid! It's saucy, crispy, and spicy and pairs with rice SO well! read more

My Son and I stopped here last Sunday for some Bark City BBQ and our favorite adult beverages. It consists of a central building (an old bank that was taken over - hence the name) and a wide variety of surrounding food carts. This was a great place to be on a typically rainy Portland Day. The central building has a full bar and as you would expect, a great selection of beer. Our food pod and bar service was friendly and efficient. We also enjoyed relatively comfortable seating by the window, as even dreary Portland light is a welcome sight. read more

Such a fun environment! Loved the vault and all the little historical trinkets. Also a fan of the fact that they have indoor seating - especially with winter approaching. They have a cute little bar and a fun fish tank! Will be returning. read more

We went here on a sunny Friday afternoon. Grab a table. And check out the seating area inside. They gave a very common lounge sitting area with a fire pit inside. Right by the vault of the bank. Kinda neat to check it out. They have a coffee shop inside still serving great coffee at 4pm. Bar opposite it with cider and beer and other drink choices. Comfy chairs inside the seating areas. Lots of tables all around the food pod. This one has more than 10 food trucks serving breakfast to dessert. Anything your heart desires. Dog friendly area. Quite fun to sit and enjoy food and be outside. They had servers picking up empty glass bottles and wiping down tables. There is a small game room behind the bar where your kids can spend time there. Very fun experience here. So much to choose from. read more

Love the setup at The Heist! So many carts to choose from, plenty of seating, super clean & well maintained! The indoor/ outdoor seating makes this a great option regardless of the weather. Incorporating the vault into the design & up-cycling pieces like the door were such a cute touch. The topper was the coffee shop, the name tie-in alone had me! Will definitely be back to try Caffeine Withdrawl. read more
