Best BBQ in Portland/Vancouver! The brisket and pulled pork are luscious and great for lunch or dinner. Get the mac and potato salad, thank me later. Service is very friendly and super fast! Patrick, who runs the cart in Portland, loves his work and it really shines in the food. We are so excited for them to cater our wedding later this month!

Smoked brisket sandwich and the Mac and cheese were phenomenal. Every time I've tried to eat at their food carts they've been sold out and now I know why. Early bird gets the brisket....get some!

When I say that they had the BEST mac and cheese I’ve had in a while. Most restaurants/ food truck mac and cheese doesn’t have a good taste. I was so shocked when I tasted the mac here. So much flavor and cheese. The noodles were cooked perfectly. To all my soul food lovers, you have to try their mac and cheese. They will also let you try a sample of it. The guy who took my order was very nice and pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant/ food truck… I will definitely be going back when I’m in town. It was soo good that i forgot to take a picture to share with everyone. Lol

It's one of the best bbq around! Anytime we go to the moda center, my wife and I share an entree. The portions are huge! I would highly recommend stopping here if you're nearby! We love the pulled pork and macaroni, but everything is so good there!

The 1/2 lb. brisket was super delicious and reasonably priced at $17. I also ordered amazing Mac & Cheese for $5. While this is a food truck, they have a full bar with rotating ciders and IPA's on tab with Sportsball on the T.V.

We were looking for something that sounded interesting for lunch to try out and decided to check this place out. We ordered a little bit of almost everything. The food was decent. The brisket was done nicely and the pulled pork wasn't too wet or soggy, which I like. The smoked sausage could use a bit more flavor. The mac and cheese was great. The person working there was friendly and got our food out to us in a reasonable time.
