Ruthie's - Jennings Lodge

This was a long overdue review (we visited it last year) because I was torn to give it 2/5 stars for the supposed-to-be-so-love food truck in PDX. We did not enjoy the food at all. I bookmarked this place when my friends told me about the Netflix Street Food episode featuring Portland, Oregon.It's in a cute backyard garden, right behind a bar mentioned in previous reviews. Street parking in this area is usually super chaotic, so plan accordingly.Super friendly service from the owner himself!I came here specifically for Grandma Ruthies's Famous Roll. It was dried and not flaky. I didn't care much for the jam or butter that came with it. It was genuinely sad because everyone else raved about how much they loved it!My husband ordered the pork chop, and he said it was thin and small for the price. It was overcooked with not much flavoring.We haven't returned to give it another chance since I didn't like how many times I had to circle the block to find parking.Parking: Street parking in this area is usually super chaotic, so plan accordingly.

We took a seasonal pork chop to go. The owner was really friendly.Now the food. The pork chop was really, really good. It was juicy, flavorful, and the mustard sauce was perfect.

My GOODNESS!We came here after my TV dad, Phil Rosenthal, recommended it (Somebody Feed Phil and it did NOT disappoint. Sometimes I get nervous about places being hyped up but my friends, this place deserves the hype! We ordered the rolls, rockfish sliders, funeral potatoes (pretty sure they are named that because I want to be buried with them? , pork chop and cookie and everything was absolutely fire. This place really highlights the ingredients in a way that makes them all shine.Ok, I will stop gushing over this place… but you’ll get it when you go.

Pork chop slapped, white sauce was so bussin they should bottle it on god, zero mid dishes no cap, potato salad would make a boomer cry, mad chill vibes from le chefs

Possibly the best food truck food we have ever had.....
