I had the Pacific Salmon burger and white truffle fries and was not disappointed. Share the fries with a friend… it’s a large rich portion.

ROLLIN!

Alright this place was pretty great.
My burger was excellent, however I did ask them to cook it just under well done. I saw photos of the burgers on their website and was uninterested in consuming a burger that was that pink inside. It seemed as if they push the fact that its cooked ‘perfectly’. I got my burger with cheddar and bacon – it was fab. On par with Veritable Q. I ordered the white truffle fries and was unimpressed. They had an odd flavor to them and where a bit soggy.

Ive had the *large Oregonzola fries in the past and they where amazing. A HUGE portion for $6. It was a meal in itself.

Will be back for more.

Violetta’s $5 corn dog tasted bad and was way overpriced. For that much money I expected a great dog in a corn batter that tasted like the real thing. It wasn’t worth half of what I forked over. My thoughts while eating it was simply ‘rip-off’. Like Angie above, I’m very disappointed with Violetta.

BTW, within 25’ of this cart are Aybla Grill Mediterranean, Urban Garlic, and Kitchen Dances all of which offer great tasting food at very reasonable prices.

I ate here over the weekend, the truck was in SE right near Movie Madness. I got 2 burgers and 2 large fries for $30. Pretty pricey.
I waited for my food outside for 35 minutes. I know this for a fact because i called my boyfriend just after i placed my order, and when she finally called my name to come get the food, i looked down at my phone and had been on this call for 34 minutes. Very irritated by the time i actually got the food.

Then, got the food home. Had the Violetta burger and boyfriend had the Oregon Blue burger. Both burgers were pretty much RAW in the middle. My boyfriend and i both like our burgers/steaks pretty rare. But these were literally not edible. Makes me wonder what they were doing back there for 35 minutes because it certainly wasnt cooking our burgers. Boyfriend couldnt eat his burger at all, and i mean, he likes his meat rare. This was RAW meat inside. We had to throw the burgers away. We got them home and looked at them and were like WTF. So raw we were laughing at it.
Fries were soggy and greasy.

Way too overpriced, 35 minutes wait time, and burgers too raw to eat.

I chose this food cart out of several that are in that food cart block. Very disappointed.

I’ve been hitting up this cart a few times a week for about a month now, so have tried pretty much everything. I’ve yet to be disappointed. Everything they serve is outstanding. Creative, prepared beautifully, and ridiculously tasty. Yes, it’s a bit expensive. I keep telling myself I should stop going there and should get something cheaper… and yet I keep winding up back there.

Favorite items:

Lentil burger
Fried chicken sandwich (who knew a whole wheat biscuit could be so damn good?)
Breakfast biscuit sandwich (egg, cheese, sausage patty on a whole wheat biscuit – delicious!)
Squash soup
Chili
Portabella fries (deep fried panko-crusted strips of portabella, served with ranch on the side)

Subscribing to their tweets and becoming a fan on Facebook is well worth it – they have specials once in a while and they’re worth taking advantage of. For example, the other day they were offering free fries with every sandwich purchase. Today they’re doing bowls of soup for the price of a cup.

Bottom line: I definitely recommend. Yum.

Violetta–Food you can trust that is Local, Sustainable, & Made with a lot of L-O-V-E. High quality cuts of meat, tasty vegetarian options, and the best fries you’ve ever had. Can’t wait for the cafe to open!

I’ve eaten from this cart more than once. The beef used is truly wonderful, which is the main ingredient to a good burger. The Oregonzola sauce is not flavorful enough to pay extra for it. The fries are just OK. I won’t eat here again because the prices are too high. To be quite honest if you pay $8 to $10 for a burger patty and bread it has to be OUTSTANDING, a one of a kind experience. This just reminds me of any other burger, but made with higher quality beef.

Snolly– as of tomorrow we have replaced our generator with a much quieter version, and the construction behind us is now complete as well.

With the exception of the sounds from the cafe being rebuilt, I think you’ll find Director Park much more peaceful. Little things like this we will always address, as will our wonderlful partners at Parks & Recreation!

Come back for more good food!

They need to replace that god awful generator with something quieter…it completely ruins the peacefulness of the entire park.

Wendi,
I have heard good things about the lentil burger from others in the cart world. What I appreciate is that they have done the veggie burger in house and not just throwing a prepackaged veggie patty on the grill.
