Por'ketta

We came across Por'ketta at an event again and grabbed two sandwich/side meals: the classic BBQ pork sandwich (BBQ sauce and pickles) with chips (a bag of Lays classic) and the Pigcasso (pork, pickled cabbage, pickles, lemon aioli, and Bama BBQ sauce) with potato salad. They also had a seasonal summer salad starring zucchini on the menu, which also sounded good. The sandwiches are great sized and really loaded up with meat and toppings. Everything was much enjoyed and really hit the spot. The staff was friendly and efficient. They took the order with a phone number and then texted us to come back for pick up when it was ready.

I have eaten Por'ketta many times. They've never disappointed so I keep coming back. I first encountered them on the inaugural CBus Ale Trail outside of Zaftig (in it's original location). I remember it clearly as I was a newbie to Central Ohio and they sold Cheerwine* in bottles. From there, I've caught them at a handful of small festivals, at Platform, and at Pins Mechanical when they parked there for a while. I've had the por'ketta sandwich, the potato salad, and the pork sundae. I could have reviewed these guys quite a while ago but I guess I was waiting for a certain dish to push me over the 'review this now' ledge. Well, I had that dish this weekend at Platform. (Where these guys are parked on Saturdays.) I had the breakfast sandwich. The bread, same that is used for the other sandwiches, was beautiful. On the sandwich were roasted red peppers, that had been peeled! I really dislike fire roasted things that haven't been peeled (i.e. tomatoes, peppers) so when I saw that the ones on the sandwich were peeled I was stoked! It shouldn't be a secret, I freakin' LOVE mayo and mayo based things (Duke's mayo forever). But, MAN the aioli used on this sandwich was on point. The thyme in it took it over the top! The bacon was great and complimented the other ingredients well. The only thing I wasn't too keen on, at first, were the scrambled eggs on the sandwich. It looked (and smelled) a bit overcooked on one side of the sandwich. However, after a few bites into the sandwich, my dislike of the scrambled eggs changed when I realized that they had crisped the cheese to the bottom side of the eggs. I love crispy, toasted cheese! With the sandwich came a side of griddled potatoes. These guys are likely the same potatoes that get crafted into potato salad. There's a vinegar backing that reminded me of the potato salad. They complimented the sandwich oh so we'll. The gentleman that was working even brought out our dog some chicken! Our dog loved it of course and wants to already know when we can go back for brunch at Platform. Por'ketta serves the breakfasty side of their menu till 2 when they switch to lunch. As a note I had my wife order the sandwich as it comes; these guys would surely honor egg style requests. Next time I get the breakfast sandwich, I will ask for an egg with a soft yoke- as that would have made this sandwich untouchable by any other food truck (and likely restaurant) breakfast sandwich. -----*Cheerwine is a North Carolina based cherry soda. You can find it a handful of places now- Kenny Road, Savor Pints, any of the City BBQs just to name a few. (p.s. I am not affiliated with Cheerwine, just a Southerner who likes a little taste of home)

Fantastic food and amazing service. I was finally able to track then down and it did not disappoint. I went with the famous pork sundae. I'm not a huge fan or pork outside of bacon, but this is something I could possibly eat everyday. I hope I cross paths with them again soon.

First time eating here, ordered the slow roasted chicken sandwich with lemon aeolia -- it was melt in your mouth delicious. Also enjoyed the perfect amount of a side of Vietnamese cucumber salad, which had the perfect amount of refreshing cool with a hint of heat. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Loved my selections and will definitely be ordering from here again!!

Amazing Porketta and green bean dinner last night. Highly recommend for the holidays!

The roasted pork? Three stars. Juicy. Tender. Their take on salsa verde, spooned I top of the pork, had as lightly salty taste - just enough to make my mouth water I delight. Potato salad was extremely delish!! I can seem to put my finger on it, and I totally forgot to ask the workers, but there is this light vinegar-ish concoction in the mix-up. Wow! I thought for sure I was going to get hit with a stringent burst of sour tart, but not at all. Slight hint of "salt". The purple potatoes are such an eye catcher, too! This side dish can take all the props for the fourth star :)I look forward to trying this truck's roared chicken in the future!

Had this amazing sandwich at the Budweiser Backyard fest a couple weekends ago. So flavorful! Pork was juicy & tender & cooked perfectly. Pasta salad was a great compliment to the sandwich too.

My 2nd experience. Got "Classic" sandwich. So big I could only eat half. Homemade pickles excellent. Potato salad different from traditional style, not made with mayo or mustard but vinaigrette, not too sour. Potatoes well cooked and tasty.

Delicious food! I've had this truck a few of the various homes and it's been delicious every time. Great service too. I had the Porketta salad yesterday, ask for the aioli and the herb dressing. Delicious over the arugula!

we enjoyed the unique food, a good selection. we tried 3 different types, the sundae, pigasso and the chicken. All of them were good and we would eat there again. we enjoyed the food served by the food truck at a pleasant fall evening at Wyandotte Winery with Uptown Acoustic playing the music.
