Barbeque Food Carts in Portland

Portland’s barbeque food carts pull at your senses from blocks away and reward you with tender meats in many styles from Texas to Guam.

For those who follow their nose when choosing a food cart meal, Portland’s barbeque options are at the top of the heap. Since 2015, Mississippi Ave has been home to Matt’s BBQ, serving up Texas-style brisket, ribs, pulled pork and sausages from its fixed-location food cart. Nearby, smoke lovers will embrace Wonderboy’s Smokestack, home for “ribs, wings and smoky things,” while Kee’s #Loaded Kitchen brings Southern food to the “food truck potluck.”

Beyond the traditional platter, multi-award-winning Matt’s BBQ Tacos’ two locations — including Hinterland Bar and Food Carts — serve up house-made lard-infused tortillas stuffed with Matt’s BBQ meats. Kim Jong Grillin delights Korean-style barbeque fans with marinated meats like bulgogi beef, while food trucks 808 Grinds and Chochu Local Island BBQ deliver unique and highly rated “island style” barbeque menus.
