The Drip'N Crab — Restaurant in Portland

I love the idea of having seafood from food trucks. This food truck is located at one of the newest food cart pods in Portland. It is enclosed with fence so I feel quite safe. It has lots of outdoor seatings with covers. It also has a large indoor air conditioned sitting area with good circulation in case you worry about Covid-19. While we were eating indoors a worker came and cleaned every table. I really apprciate how clean and safe they are there.

Well, I just want to say that their sauce is so delicious. It has very good flavor that I wish I could take it home and reuse it on other dishes! However, it took such a long time for them to make the dish. We ordered just one dish to share and to try out their food. I read other reviews that they gave you lots of food for the price. So we thought we could share one order of Alberta grab bag. What a mistake! I was disappointed that for $14 you get two small potatoes, one sausage (very oily and fatty), one corn and three crab legs that were very, very skinny. They give cash discount and we paid $10 for the dish. I was hoping to have more seafood than other non-seafood items. Although the sauce was very tasty, I was more hungry after splitting this grab bag with my husband and the long wait over 50 minutes! I don't think it should take that long to make such simple dish.

It was good that I got plastic gloves because it was definitely very messy with the oily sauce. I also found it very difficult to eat crab legs without any tool other than my fingers and teeth. Perhaps we need to bring our own tools next time.

Tips: Order food from this food cart and then head over to other food carts and order food there. By the time you finish eating your meal then you may be able to get the order as your afterdinner...

I hate leaving negative reviews, but it's a feature of this service I find helpful, so here we go. To be clear this is not a review of the food, which I did not get to try or the atmosphere, which is fine but was less exciting after being refused service.

When I approached the cart there was a sign in the window saying "closed till 5" it was 6:30pm and I thought it odd. I spoke with the woman inside (there were 2) and she politely explained to me that had to close early because a manager didn't show up, or something to this effect. I was truly disappointed as this card and all the wonderful reviews were why I planned a trip to this neighborhood. I thanked her an ordered tacos. But, after taking a seat to wait, another customer was served their order from this cart. I must have arrived after she made the decision to close, but it was still insult to injury.

Bottom line, there were two people working who could have taken my order, regardless of if a manager showed up or not. Super disappointed I didn't get to try the food, and unfortunately this was the only shot they'll get to win...

I got the dekum boil and wowie zowie 😍 the food was delicious. That SAUCE. I normally am meh about shrimp but if you dipped a tree branch in that sauce i would probably eat it. There was a little technological mishap and my pager didn’t go off so my food had been ready for a while before I went to get it. It wasn’t available (I think they might have given it to someone but that’s fair, don’t want food to go to waste) but when I went up to the cart to ask about it they quickly remade it and gave me a lil extra for the inconvenience. My friend got the pasta and I had a bite and it was so delicious. Great customer service from the two very kind women working! I can’t...
