Hawthorne Asylum

Wow a ton of trucks a in side bar Tables all over had a salmon salad... 100s of meals to Choose from. Nice clean bathrooms. Definitely going back and trying some more of there fares.

This was my first time coming here visiting a friend. There were so many options to choose from that it was a little hard at first to decide. I ended up going with Smaaken Waffles and Sandwiches. I got their Sardou which was absolutely fantastic. I'll proceed the rest of the review as follows: Food: There are so many options here to choose from that you could practically find what would fit the mood. When I have this many options available it gets even more difficult for me to choose because I want to try it all lol. However with that being said the sandwich that I got was delicious. There was no meat in it but all of the flavors blended extremely well together. I was absolutely satisfied and couldn't actually finish the entire thing with howuch food it was. Service: The service at Smaaken was not bad. I will say it dis take a while for the good to be ready but some other people ordered before I did. Everything was fresh and hot so it was well worth the wait. Atmosphere: It was extremely pleasant. Not super loud which was nice but we got an early dinner/late lunch. This is an ideal spot for groups of any size. I can't complain and would love to come back when I visit or move here again. Too much food to try. Overall it was an extremely pleasant experience experience and would highly recommend.

Hawthorne Asylum is always a fun and interesting place to eat - there's a really good variety of food options, tons of seating, and the atmosphere is great! If you've got guests visiting from out of town, I'd especially recommend bringing them around! It tends to cost a bit more to eat there, but nothing too crazy. The wide variety of food carts means that it's an excellent spot to bring larger groups without having to figure out what, exactly, everyone is in the mood for. Some food carts deliver through apps, but even just seeing the place would be worth a visit, so come by!

New to the whole food pod experience but this was one I heard great things about. Was impressed but I don't think it's the best one in town. Food was good tho, and I love that my wife and I can get different things so everyone is happy.

Came here with some friends while traveling. There's a lot of options for food, and everyone seemed happy with that they ordered. Tables were as plentiful as the cuisine options: very. Great spot for a good weather day.

A lot of fun! Definitely a true Portland vibe. Had great food and sat at the indoor bar which had a huge selection of local beers on tap.

Located at SE 10th and Madison, this food court is a vibrant addition to Portland’s dynamic food cart scene. With its large, open layout, it easily accommodates groups of all sizes, making it ideal for everything from casual meetups to larger social gatherings. The space is thoughtfully designed, offering plenty of seating and a diverse range of food vendors to satisfy a variety of tastes. One of the highlights of this spot is its welcoming, eclectic aesthetic, which attracts a diverse crowd and creates an inviting atmosphere for all visitors. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a longer stay, it's also an excellent place for people-watching and soaking in the local vibe. Its proximity to other popular food cart pod like Cartopia Food Cart offers flexibility for those looking to sample from different vendors in one outing. You can easily make a walking food tour out of the experience. However, one consideration is parking. Since dedicated parking is limited, you may find yourself circling nearby neighborhoods or side streets to find a spot. Planning to walk, bike, or rideshare can help make your visit more enjoyable. Overall, this food court is more than just a place to eat, it’s a community-friendly hub that supports local businesses and energizes the surrounding area. A great stop for locals and visitors alike.

What a beautiful food cart lot! I LOVED the industrial haunted asylum feel! And the tables and seating is beautifully crafted. We went for the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich. They were amazing. But we should of just ordered one and shared it because they are so big. It was a beautiful experience with great art.
