    Jambalaya
    Scott H.

    I feel this could easily have been a five. It's very possible I just got the wrong thing. I have always wanted to try but they are always closed when I come. I couldn't decide so I got the jambalaya and crawfish po boy. The jambalaya was pretty good. Rice had the right texture. A little light on proteins. Good flavor. Nice and spicy. Texture was a little dry. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that. It ended up being two meals worth though. Po boy was very good. I like the fry on the seafood but the ratio just wasn't right on the crawfish. I'd be willing to try shrimp next time. Really good chewy bread. Way too much mayo though. Fries were soggy and forgettable. Probably could have put it over the top I'd return for sure

    Being from the south eastern United States I will tell you that this is the best gumbo attempt that I have had in Oregon This man has a wonderfully flavor, dark brew that is just amazing sitting on some rice. Just checking to see good. The sausage had a little off taste to it but either way I still think that this place is definitely worth trying out at least for this plate. 8.3/10! Would definitely be back. Only if the card is nice, and the service was good, didn't take too long for the food .

    Oyster Poboy

    Today I had the Fried Oyster Po-boy with Crystal hot sauce. Top marks all around. The oysters were fried perfectly crispy but still juicy. It came with seasoned fries - a great accompaniment.

    Big flavor from a little cart! Stopped by the BG Cartel today to grab some lunch, and I decided to try this place out after looking at their menu. Had trouble deciding between the red beans and rice, jambalaya, and po' boy since they all looked great, but ultimately decided on the sandwich. When I ordered, the women told me they had a rotating specials menu and asked if I'd be interested in the crawfish po' boy instead. She was kind enough to explain the flavor difference to me and I ultimately decided to order that. It was DELICIOUS. The bread was flaky and warm, there was tons of crawfish, and the breading was excellent. The fries that came on the side were perfectly damaged and cooked. They also have a menu of homemade hot sauces you can choose from. I chose medium and it was really, really good. Perfect compliment to the sandwich. Actually, I would have purchased a bottle of it if they sold it separately. Between the food and the great service, I will definitely be eating here again.

    The awesome owners!!

    Hands down, one of THE BEST PLACES to check out when your at the BG food carts! Let me just start off saying: I was a total non believer. Normally, not a sandwich gal. Soggy bread with flat old soppy veggies and weird meat.... unless it's homemade or a butcher run establishment- 9/10 my experience with sandwiches has not been great. So, I learned to avoid ordering or looking for them. My husband has been a big fan of this place for over a year and every time, I would 100% see him enjoying his sandwich, but I always thought-- it's because this dude relatively enjoys sandwiches. Well, I finally ordered a PoBoy Shrimp and OH MY GOODNESS.... literally, SHOOKED!! Let's start with the bread! Perfectly made bread (freshly flew in from New Orleans) with delicious and I mean delicious mayo and freshly bed of lettuce and tomatoes with crisp shrimp. Now, your thinking (( it sounds too simple. )) absolutely NOT. Everything is unbelievably fresh and so well made that I was so sad I finished my meal. My husband and I debated on going back to order a second one!! Haha, it was that epic. The sauces are also over the park amazing. I believe the kind gentleman said he grew all the peppers and his son is the chef and makes everything from scratch. Let's move on to how this food truck is always very clean. The owners are all very nice and bonus it is family run. We will be back. Back for more poboys, jambalaya, and gumbo (oh, they also have vegan options). We may even back in 2 hrs for 'dinner'.

    My bf and I went to the food cart park in Beaverton for a late breakfast. We shared a crepe and a waffle sandwich, but we felt something was missing, so we decided to share some gumbo as well. I went up to place my order and the man behind the cart window warmly greeted me. He asked me which sauce I wanted, and there were many options (all spicy). I don't do so spicy but I asked about their spiciest sauce for my bf. They said they don't usually give their ghost pepper sauce out (unless people ask specifically). Since he offered, I went for the opportunity! A few minutes later, we picked up the gumbo, sauces, and mini-corn muffins. The chicken and sausage was very tender (they also have a vegan choice) and the gumbo itself was savory and perfect for a chilly morning. I dont get to eat a lot of gumbo, but something about the gravy like stock + upside down rice-dome made it a very satisfying meal~ They told me they make everything in house, and it really comes through in the food. I'd totally recommend the food cart and the food!

    Crawfish étouffée: so darn good.
    Andrew A.

    An excellent version of crawfish étouffée, one of the best I've had. Price points are fair. Service was much quicker than the other carts in this massive pod. The owners/workers are very nice.

    Pickle Plate
    Buzzy B.

    We were ordering BBQ at the truck next door and saw the listing for a pickle plate and had to have it. OMG - if you love pickled vegetables as much as we do you have to try this! The pickled apples (who knew you could pickle apples) were amazing! So we're the watermelon rings, green beans, radishes, corn on cob and cauliflower. There was some sprouts also but they had a stronger spice (anise maybe?) I didn't care for. Will definitely come back for this and maybe a shrimp po boy next time!

    Cajun Chex Mix
    Shoshana W.

    Love loved loved this whole experience from start to finish. We were visiting family in the area and were introduced to the food trailer scene. This location had several stalls and plenty of parking across the street. I initially walked up to this place because my love of po' boys, what made me order from there was the sign that said "we are a fully vaccinated truck". When I said to the woman running the window that I liked the sign, she told me that she is a full-time healthcare worker, and engaged me in a great conversation. From that moment I was in. I ordered the shrimp po' boy, bread pudding, and the intriguing Cajun Chex mix. We were able to grab a table without issue and my food was ready very quickly. The chef didn't mind my one modification of "no tomatoes" because as the lovely lady told me, "chef doesn't like tomatoes either". I brought my tower of boxes over to the tables and dug right in. First let's talk about the sandwich. Great bread! There is nothing worse than a sandwich with shitty bread...this roll was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They LOADED it with a ton of shrimp. No skimpy portions here. I normal don't finish my food, but I ate every bite of this sandwich. The Chex mix was a total surprise. It was loaded with flavor and a nice pair to the sandwich. I brought this back to the hotel and got my crunch on while reading my book. Lastly, the bread pudding. Now, I hate raisins with a fiery passion. I say that they are the devils candy. When she told me there were golden raisins I almost didn't order it. I decided I would eat around them. How we, when I dug in I can confidently say that they didn't bother me. The flavor paired with the sauce and the gooey confection were perfect. This is my long winded love letter saying that if this is an option, you should definitely try it out. You won't be disappointed.

    The individual at the cart was very nice. My wife preordered the day before for a surprise Father's…read moreDay meal and it was ready promptly to the dot. It's hard for me to rate restaurant sold shellfish because I still think it's a way better deal to buy it and cook it fresh. It's cheaper, more flavorful, and more quantity. We got the whole pot and a side of lobster tails and potatoes. The potatoes weren't necessary as the whole pot had a whole lot of potatoes. The lobster tails were pretty small sized but there was 4 pieces. The crab pieces were all minuscule outside of the claws. The corn was really good. Everything is drenched in a delicious buttery sauce that made everything still enjoyable and pretty tasty. Overall I was pleased with the meal and overall experience, though.

I had the shrimp and crab combo, with a lobster tail add-on. The dish includes potatoes, corn on the cob, and andouille sausage. The flavor of the seafood was good: no hint of the unpleasant scent or aftertaste that can be found in seafood that is past its prime or has been thawed out and refrozen. I opted for the Parmesan garlic mixed with the raging Cajun. It is a heavily seasoned buttery sauce. Friendly service was a plus. I liked it and will return.

I got their shrimp scampi pasta and it was delicious! The scampi were big and there were 5 pieces. Very plump and cooked nicely. The artichokes were very good, no chewy parts. The tomatoes were very fresh and juicy, too. The flavor of the pasta was fantastic. It didn't feel oily, heavy, and yet it was packed full of flavor. I also loved the 2 garlic bread sticks as it was flavorful and had a nice crunch! I loved everything about this dish and I don't say that all the time. When I visit again, I'll have to eat this again!

HOWEVER, i decided to give it another shot after seeing their attractive happy hour menu! (offered from 2PM to 5PM). I was quickly seated in the bar area and greeted by my server. I tried the hamachi crispy rice and raw oyster which was super yummy and fresh. It was beautifully presented, and garnished. My only note was that I wish it would have been served with a side of wasabi/soy sauce but it had its own sweet soy sauce drizzled on top. its super nice in the summer when the weather is nice because the have this partial outdoor bar seating window that opens up! you dont see many places with this kind of bar design.

I decided on a soup and tried their Seafood Jjampong. It was a real disappointment. Bland and flavorless. The ingredients didn't seem fresh. I took it home to try and fix it myself with a little oyster and fish sauce. It did help a little but I wasn't sure if that was supposed to be the traditional flavor. For $25 I was hoping to get something flavorful but it fell short. Avoid this one and save your money trying something else. We also got the ttobokei. Nothing special. Tasted like Chef Boyardee and the sauce was a little spicy. Wasn't too thrilled about this one as well. I think their appetizers are good and I think I'll just stick to these even though the corn dog is 75% cheese, 25% dog. I was also disappointed that japchae is not ontheir menu. Had it been an available item, I would have had that instead of the bland soup.

After we were given our drinks, we were informed they needed to wait on chicken to cook, and were asked to pull around and park. I stated that we don't participate in that program and would be happy to sit and wait, in the drive through (no one was in line behind us), as its supposed to be "first come, first served". The employee then went and got the "manager", who again explained about the wait, and again I stated I don't participate in that pull around and park program (its so that they can keep their drive through timers low and upper level managers get bonus for metric and KPI alignments). The manager "Samantha", then told me if I didn't pull around and wait for my food they'd call the cops on me. Really!?! I cancelled my order and went elsewhere. For that price... the customer service should be better, focusing on serving your customers well, and in a timely fashion. That amount of money equals a sit down dinner... not fast food with attitude. POOR FORM!!! Also, this location may respond to customer complaints... but they promise better service "in the future". It doesn't get better when you do nothing for the people your staff had wronged. What about meal replacements? Gift cards? Actual human interaction? Seriously poor customer service, engagement, and management.
