Reviews for Potato Champion in Portland, OR
Very good food. I don't know much about poutine, but the food here rates high in my general selection of restaurants. I love... the general ambience of the food caet pod. The heated tented area is a nice touch with winter starting. Read more
I?m being generous with 3 stars it?s closer to 2 but the worker there who was newly working there, was kind and smiling so... that?s what earned the extra star. I had it once before and thought maybe this time around would be better but disappointed onceagain. Fries are cold like so disappointingly cold. The warm gravy turns the fries soggy super quick and the curds were chewywith no melt. The flavor was not at all worth remembering and I can guarantee that you could make this at home better! Thechipotle Mayo was okay, barely any chipotle more Mayo. Unfortunately not returning and will venture to find a better spot ifthere are any. Do not recommend. Read more
First they half their portions, then they charge more. And maybe I would understand this if they didn?t mess up the poutine most... times. Or had any assembly of excellency?s or at least consistency to offer. But all of that said, when I was shocked by theportion change, someone literally laughed in my face and waved bye to me while smiling menacingly. So??they?re just gonna haveto keep their overpriced handful of brown fries. Read more
I saw they had PBJ fries and was immediately intrigued. The results were phenomenal! I tend to be a simple person? I enjoy my... fries cooked well and seasoned well and dipped primarily in ketchup. Yet, I couldn?t not try this unique pairing. The ?peanutbutter? is peanut satay, which adds wonderful spices into the flavor. The ?jelly? is a chipotle raspberry jam, which adds evenmore of a sweet kick into the mix. The fries were cooked perfectly and, overall, it all came together in the most satisfying waypossible. I will be returning and it may be a while until I get to the other fry options they have, although, I?m sure everyoption available is a winner. Read more
I have given this place a few tries. They serve their gravy warm, not hot, so curds do not melt. The curds are actually very... firm. I feel like I?ve eaten 7x the daily recommended salt intake in one sitting. This is the standard for this cart, not a oneoff. Read more
Was in the mood to try something new, we made our way to the cartopia food cart village. We saw this food truck and we're... excited to try there poutine fries! As they are one of my favorites. The lady working was not very chipper; idk but, she lookedhungover or something. Clearly didn't want to be there for sure. As she literally plopped our order down on the small metalrack, we had to remind her it was a to go order. She seemed very irritated. Anyways... The fries were soggy, the cheese curdsweren't melted, and the gravy was definitely powdered gravy with garlic salt in it. VERY salty. All in all, underwhelmed. Hardpass on trying again. P. S. This is all we ate of them, made our stomach hurt. Read more
After being up for almost 24 hours traveling we stumbled across this place as they were closing. Most of their stuff had been... cleaned up but they so graciously made one more batch of poutine fries for us and they were to die for. We underestimated howearly things close here in Portland but it led us to here with a great meal to close out this long day. Thank you foraccommodating us!! We will back!! Read more
We read about Potato Champion in Lonely Planet and as we love poutine we had to stop in. Parking isn't great. The poutine was... underwhelming- curds were not melted at all and the gravy was very sweet, unlike any poutine we've had throughout Canada and theupper Midwest. We wouldn't recommend. Read more
