Rocket Empire Machine

Great place for a quick bite, multiple food places on site and great beer selection from Gigantic

Great taproom at Gigantic robot room, with several good food choices in the building.

This place has a few different options for dining. It's nice going with a group, with different tastes. During COVID, there's limited seating, so we usually get to-go. After we order, we usually end up posting up on the curb, or on the ramp. I would order a draft from Gigantic during this waiting period, but you need a seat at a table to be able to order. The to-go food has been awesome. I look forward to ever meal here.

The beer is excellent. We ate at two of the on-site restaurants in both were excellent. And everybody working there was very nice which can be hit-and-miss these days, right?

Nice little location with a couple of options for some good and brews.

Went for some beer at gigantic brewing and got to try African cuisine for the first time. Absolutely delicious, great neighborhood spot where the owner comes out to check on you. Makes me wanna move to that neighborhood

We live just a couple blocks from Rocket Empire Machine. We have now had the chance to have at least two dishes from all of the establishments and have had a delicious meal from them all. Its pretty rad to have great food AND choices in our hood!!

Love it! Gigantic brewing is one of our favorites and we had great African and Oaxaca food from 2 of the food pods located there. Highly recommended!

Crazy name for a pretty cool food hall. Similar to the Zipper and the Ocean, Rocket Empire Machine up on NE Glisan is an eclectic restaurant hub featuring an impressive variety of food options along with covered outdoor seating. The five restaurants -- Gigantic Brewing Company, Tierra del Sol, Alleamin African Kitchen, Sea and River Sushi & Burmese Grill, and The Pie Spot -- offer sushi, sambusas, Burmese curry, tlayudas, moles, Ethiopian stews, empanadas, injera, beer, mini pies, along with other tasty treats. There's also off-street parking. This food hall warrants frequent visits.

Delicious micro-brew selections in this adorable outdoor food court. If you love stout, be sure to ask for a sample of the chocolate hazelnut stout! Wow! I haven't been drinking much in the last few months, but it was so good thaf I had to have another small glass. Yummy! Yummy!

Great addition to the hood. This type of concept, like a partial food hall, will always get a thumbs up from me. Especially when it's anchored around a solid beer offering like Gigantic (one of the better breweries in PDX, IMO. A little tough in the dead of winter, but otherwise I love an occasion to sit outside. The food offerings here are okay. I come for the beer and the nice patio area.

Great beer, great food! Covered outdoor dining, i went for lunch and found plenty of seating. Lot's of Covid protocols still in place since the CDC updates. Off street parking was also a plus.

Just want to update that this is the Rocket Empire Machine Food Hall, and it recently opened. One-stop eating and drinking, and new home to: Gigantic Brewing Robot Room, Alleamin African Kitchen, Tierra del Sol, Pie Spot, and Sea and River Sushi. https://pdx.eater.com/2020/8/14/21366691/rocket-empire-machine-opening

I've been to REM several times since they opened and enjoyed my experience every time. The sweet pies from Pie Spot are a nice treat. They are small in size, so they are the perfect treat for one person or to share between 2 people. I love the chocolate hazelnut pie! The sushi spot is also great, and the rolls and nigiri are a good size and taste fresh. I've eaten at the Mexican spot a few times, and enjoy the blue corn tortillas. I've also ordered a chicken bowl, which was tasty. I'm looking forward to trying to African food and beer spot next!
