Hinterland Bar & Food Carts

"Perhaps most renowned for Matt’s BBQ Tacos, the small Hinterland pod punches above its weight with well-executed fare like Hunker Down’s braised pork cheek and polenta, Third Culture Kitchen’s herbaceous Peruvian lomo, and Matt’s tender brisket tacos. Hinterland’s bar goes beyond the typical six-taps-and-a-wine pod bar, featuring 15 house cocktails with recommended cart pairings and hot sips like Irish coffee and hot toddies on those chilly days. The bar patio is fully sealed in the winter and warmed with powerful heaters." - Nathan Williams

"New American has been a Northwest staple genre for decades now, but few carts manage to pull off the broad, often-pricy category successfully. Poppyseed — located in the Hinterland carts between Southeast Hawthorne and Division — is a notable exception, offering seasonal treats like oysters on the half-shell, cider-brined pork chops, and a Mediterranean poke to the food cart crowd. Consult with Poppyseed’s team via the website to craft a menu best-suited for your event." - Danielle Centoni, Nathan Williams

"Hinterland, opening between Hawthorne and Division on SE 50th, is part-cocktail bar, part-food cart pod, with expansive heated and covered outdoor seating, an indoor bar, mounted TVs, and an A-Team of Portland carts. It features a cocktail program with cart-themed drinks, plenty of onsite seating, and five prized food carts." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"Like the Breakside pod, this food cart pod coming to SE 50th will house some of Portland’s serious food cart talent, including Matt’s BBQ Tacos and Burger Stevens. It’ll also be home to a cocktail bar and taproom, with indoor and outdoor seating, run by a Portland cocktail vet: Taylor Gehrts, who has spent time at places like Trifecta, Masia, Smallwares, and more. The bar will serve cocktails meant to pair with the dishes from the pod’s various carts." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"A bar and food cart pod home to big-names like Matt’s BBQ Tacos, Burger Stevens, Poppyseed, and La Taquiza Vegana." - Eater Staff
