Winner on the Ruben on rye. Great flavors great sandwich, nice guy. Will come back and try a cheesesteak but the Ruben is great. Prices are normal $14 ruben and $10, $12 and $16 I think on cheesesteak Food cart owner was pleasant and there are tables around where you can eat. Good find and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

I’m from the Memphis area and visiting. This was the first food place in Portland that I visited and it was FIRE!!!! The food was made to order and the cook/owner was super respectful, helpful, and fast. I really did enjoy the sandwich and it is now in my top 3 of Philly cheesesteak sandwiches I’ve ever had. Excellent food

This is actually a 4.8 rating. Here's the deal, it's a really tasty sandwich. The service was first-rate and had a wonderful conversation with the owner (I think he was anyway), and the atmosphere? Itz's a food truck.... rock on! They use white American, which is legit and the fried onions, mushrooms, and peppers melded nicely with the well seasoned and cooked steak. The only beef (haha) I have is with the roll. It he can get a roll that is a little closer in the crusty outside, chewy inside texture that Philly rolls are known for, this would be a slam dunk. That said, if I ever come back to Portland again, I will definitely partake again. Keep up the great work at The Block!

Hands down the absolute best cheesesteak!!!! Simple, just meat and cheese and added a little bbq sauce and ate the entire thing. I got the small and was shocked at how big it was, and still ate it all. Wanted to stop but couldn’t! The price is on point too! Highly recommend!!!

Most excellent sandwich! The bread holds the heaping amounts of steak, peppers, mushrooms and cheese without getting soggy. The steak is tender and these guys know what they are doing! No more trips to philly (or Jersey Mikes) for me. Im jumping on a Max train for my next steak fix! Awesome value, taste, and service. Thank you, I'll be back very soon.
