Pod 28 Laurelhurst Food Carts — Restaurant in Portland

My family went here for dinner and we all had a great time! This pod has a great variety of food carts (burritos, fried chicken, Thai, burgers, Japanese, Eqyptian, and beer!). The food carts are organized around the perimeter of the space, with tables and chairs in the middle.

There's a little free library (though it was empty when we went), port-a-potty's with a hand washing station, and I didn't notice a single cord on the ground that I had to step over! The pod was very clean and welcoming. Many of the tables have umbrellas, though we went in the evening when only about half of the tables were shaded, but didn't have a problem finding a table.

It had less infrastructure than other pods but for me that was even better, in terms of staying true to the original concept and controlling costs. I just felt at...

We popped in here on our hunt to introduce a friend to crepes (side note— Crave Creperie in here is to die for) and had a blast.

Excellent food and drink from at least three of the trucks in this park, and the others are all super highly reviewed. When we visited, there were folks gathered to play some live music, and the vibe at sunset was just great. Dog friendly, casual, and welcoming. I’ll be back this way to try out the rest of the...
