    So good. Please try this cart. The bun was just right. The meats and cheeses complimented each other and not over powering. Perfect portion size. I wasn't over stuffed or hungry after a sandwich. The man working was super friendly and really helpful.

    I will say this: I'm from Philly and their cheese steak is the closest I've come to authentic in Portland. Complete with Amoroso rolls and all.

    But- the dude working behind the counter is a real piece of work. He had his back to me and must've asked how he could help me, but I am hearing impaired and couldn't hear him. After standing there for a minute, he spun around and said "FOR THE THIRD TIME HOW CAN I HELP YOU". I explained that most people make eye contact when they talk, and reading lips is how I get by. He then said "I don't care. There are customers waiting on food so I don't have time to chat with everyone"

    Tldr- food is good, owner is a jerk

    I would rate lower if I could. WORST customer experience I've ever had. We didn't even bother getting anything. Employee didn't even look at us and was so rude and disrespectful we just left. AVOID THIS CART. I don't understand how they're still in business, not how you treat people in general let alone customers.

    The guy that operates the cart should give up. The rudest customer service experience you'll get in Portland.

    Wow. Very consistent reviews about the proprietor. He was nice to me. Maybe I got a nice face.

    Hear me out on this one cheesesteak fans. I don't do the whiz. Why? Because if the steak is seasoned right whiz makes it too salty. I go with the provolone. I'm not trying to be like John Kerry but it's what they had in the cheesesteaks from Steak Escape at Lloyd center from when I was a kid. You know nostalgia and stuff. Now if a cheesesteak isn't seasoned properly putting provolone on it will taste like crap.

    The steaks have lots of seasoning hence the fitting provolone.

    Apparently the rolls are legit but until Togo's makes a cheesesteak this is as good as it gets right?

    Value isn't awesome but it's not horrible either.
