    ribs sandwich
    Benjamin S.

    BBQ done well from a truck. This is a pretty popular spot in the Heist food pod in Woodstock, and what I like about them is that their menu changes so you get some variety, and they offer a good amount of sandwiches. I got the ribs sandwich, which was this huge sandwich made with pork pulled off ribs, so you get the feel of eating ribs but without the mess of the bones. It was tasty. I tried their special of burnt ends pork belly, and while it was tender, I was surprised how the cubes of pork belly were sauced. When I read burnt ends, I was expecting to see the crisp edges of the BBQ char, but because of the sauce you don't get that experience. The cubes were cut huge, so half a pound worked out to be 3 cubes. The sides are decent, like the potato salad. And the service is friendly. The price does feel a bit high compared to other BBQ spots.

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally got a chance. Really enjoyed the tray, across the board. Actually fed 2 of us, which is a great deal, too! Really solid meat and the sides were really good too. People working there were nice and I"m a huge fan of the Heist pod in general. The bar and ample seating inside are great.

    Very impressed with their juicy and meaty briskets! The baby back ribs were also meaty with a nice sweet glaze on it. The Mac and cheese was delicious and the beans were flavorful. Service was fantastic and there's plenty of space for everyone and their dogs to sit and hang. I'll def be back for more.

    This was a great food truck. The courtyard is covered and had plenty of seating. There is a bar inside that sells cocktails, cider and beer. The staff was friendly and there was more than enough food for two with leftovers!

    Chili Frito Pie
    Cindy I.

    My husband got the chili Frito pie. I stole some Fritos. He described the chili as really brisket with some red sauce, not too interesting. He also got a side of brisket which I also stole some. It was just okay since Portland has many places with better brisket not sure this will ever rank high enough for us. Their buzzer doesn't have a long range but they told him when to come back if he didn't get buzzed.

    This place is great! Surrounded by so many food options! Nice area to eat. They had physical menus so you can take a peek while you wait in line to order.

    Very yummy bbq out of a food cart? Didn't see that coming. You can tell they care about the craft here. If the mood for BBQ strikes you while you're at heist, then don't hesitate. I only had the sausage, ribs Mac and cheese and coleslaw. Ribs were elite level. You have to get those. Sausage as good as you can get! The Mac and cheese? Forgettable. Coleslaw actually really good. Need to try more of the meats. I bet everything here is quality. (4.6 Stars)

    This place used to be kinda mid when it opened. But fast forward to 2025 and it's rivaling Matt's or Grassland. Can you see the juice on that Turkey breast? The sides are top notch too. Plus, being located at the hottest new cart pod in Portland doesn't hurt. Go early as it often sells out. Very highly recommended.

    Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap (only on Wednesdays!)
    Jordan C.

    Bbq isn't typically my jam but they've started doing wraps and sandwiches on Wednesdays and they've become my go-to lunch spot! The cornbread croutons crumble slightly and give the wrap a super yummy texture, and the sweetness from the cornbread adds a sweet & salty element that I'm loving. The chicken is slightly smokey but not over powering and the lettuce is always fresh (which isn't always the case with wraps from other places). The owner is super passionate about what he does and uses quality ingredients from local businesses and I love that. The portion is huge. 10/10 very satisfying.

    Two Meat Tray - Prime Brisket - Juicy Pork Ribs - Mac - Potato Salad
    Ali O.

    Delicious brisket and pork ribs, with sides that were decent. Also ordered a brisket burger that was very juicy and had the right amount of thickness. The Red Eye bbq sauce was unique with its addition of coffee. Service was good and quick . A bit on the pricey side but that's bbq, you're paying for quality! Will come back

    3 meat platter, added the spicy sausage.

    First time trying this place out and it didn't disappoint, service was great answered any questions we had. On to the food we had the 3 meat platter, brisket which was very juicy, baby back ribs and spare ribs both had their distinct touch. Sides were the bbq beans really good flavor and the potato salad was good. Price point was great for what we got compared to a few other local places $47 dollars for the food had to get drinks for the Safeway a block away which wasn't a big deal.

    Found in the back of a food truck lot at @the heist pdx is bark city barbecue serving up some awesome barbecue. I want to say Portland is an awesome food truck city. The aroma of the smoke as you come walking around the back wafting your way out of the two offset smokers that are very tightly fit with barely any space between fire boxes. I ordered today the Pitmaster's Nap platter that has a little of all the main meats and on top of that I got come extras. The brisket was wonderfully fatty and moist. With it the coffee sauce was wonderful adding a little bitterness and sweetness. The jalapeño cheddar sausage just had this wonderful snap when I bit into it. I do like having it sliced sometimes but nothing beats grabbing a whole sausage and chomping down to feel that snap. The turkey was definitely my favorite regular menu item. So moist and paired with the white sauce. The beef rib laid on a bed of buttery potatoes was so rich and the chimi sauce added the pop of herbiness I needed. It made me think I was eating my veggies in all this protein lol. I scarfed that down so fast I got some of the sauce on my shirt. (Spent some time in the restroom cleaning it off). Better yet, the maple bourbon garlic glazed double smoked pork belly burnt ends!!!!! It's a mouth full and a tasteful. The soft pieces of garlic had none of the pungent flavors just leaving the sweet nutty profiles on top of the sweet maple. It's such a great sauce that I licked the parchment paper clean. Those pork belly burnt ends I could eat all day. The different flavors I get that deviate from the "traditional" keeps it interesting and I loved every bite of the meal. :)

    Smoked Chicken Caesar Wrap w/ a side of Jalapeño Mac
    Felix V.

    The food and service were great. The Smoked Caesar Wrap comes in two options, brisket and chicken. I got the chicken and it was darn good, all that was missing was some tots or fries but it was darn good. The Jalapeño Mac was alright, it's good on its own and comes off heavy as a side. As far as the location ambiance, it's spacey and welcoming. I'd give the wrap an 8.4 and the Mac a 6.7 out of 10. Super good spot!

    After drooling over their Instagram, I knew I had to go. To my dismay I arrived at something that…read moredidn't look like it was a cafe or even opened. I wasn't even sure I was at the right place, thought they were still transitioning from one location to another. Until someone who shared the kitchen popped out. I was told that I should order online and come by for pick up, and was strongly urged to do so because these cheesecakes were really good. When I saw that they were doing a contactless store front, I knew I had to go. This was my opportunity to try it. I texted the owner to ask if the flavor I had my eye on was available. I was halfway there before the owner responded that they had one slice of pandan cheesecake left. There are multiple forms of payment with a card reader, and various apps to pay with online which made this a breeze. The owner Kiana, even popped to introduce herself which I thought was so nice! The flavors here aren't your typical strawberry, chocolate, peanut butter cheesecakes, even though she does offer some variation of them. There's pandan, ube, lemongrass, ginger mango, passionfruit, matcha, guava, pineapple raspberry, and I heard she even cooks up something with the pickle brine from the other business that operates in that kitchen. I thought this would be one of those situations where the food won't look like the picture. The pictures are obviously styled, they look stunning. Nope! The food looked just like what was on Instagram. I am a long time lover of cheesecake, dare I say it's my favorite of the cakes. The condensed milk ube mirror glaze was a lot thicker than I thought it would be and held its form. It wasn't runny and goopy. Loved that it wasn't a sticky mess. The crust was very very thick, I've always wanted more crust on other cheesecakes. On the description, it says it's "jasmine scented almond shortbread cookie crust" slightly saltier than most crusts I've had, but still very enjoyable. I've only had the traditional graham cracker crust and I'm afraid this almond shortbread crust has ruined all other cheesecake crusts for me. I have been disappointed at a lot of places using pandan, because the flavor just wasn't there, not Muse cheesecakes though. Pandan was present indeed. I would have loved if it was a little stronger, but I think that would have overpowered the cheesecake. Each component of the cheesecake are so different and complex on its own. They come together in delicious harmony to make this beautiful slice. I grew up with a lot of Vietnamese food and pandan has a very special place in my stomach.. heart! I've never seen jasmine used outside of tea and condensed milk outside of Vietnamese iced coffee. Kiana definitely has a way with these ingredients and she's a cheesecake goddess! I really can't wait to try the calamansi, Ube, and whatever else is getting cooked up in this delicious kitchen.

    Muse cheesecakes make my heart sing and gets me doing a happy dance. I first heard of Muse…read morecheesecakes through instagram. She offers durian cheesecake. Whaaaat? Yep, you heard me right. Durian cheesecake!!!! I am Vietnamese-Cambodian and durian is my jam. I love its pungent goodness in all forms -- pure and un-doctored straight from the prickly shell, ice cream, smoothie, topping on mashed avocado dessert and now.. CHEESECAKE! ohhh my goodness. My heart. I have returned so many times and buying extra slices (possibly buying out her supply for the week...) to share with my family and friends, who have all raved about the cheesecake from here. Durian isn't her only flavor though. She has so many creative flavors and I've noticed she's had comfort flavors from different cultures. To top it off, the owner, Kiana, is a wonderful lady. She is a one woman team and is kicking butt at her game from what I've gathered in the short time I've known her. She could be dead tired, but always has a smile on her face. I almost forgot to rave about her TARO BURGER on a vegan bun. I don't know how frequently she makes them, but if you see it being offered, do yourself a favor and get it. The portion is quite large so be prepared for leftovers. Unfortunately for me, my carnivorous sister gobbled the other portion of my burger right up and didn't even miss her meat. It comes with a vegan mac salad on the side. I am not one to enjoy mac salads usually, I think it's due to the mayo (not a mayo fan), but I actually liked this version. I forgot to take a picture of the burger before it all got inhaled. Sad face.

There were plenty of sitting space with benches and table. At the back there was a bar as well, with all gender bathrooms adjacent to it. The location was popular with both tourists and local, as I saw many co-workers groups were out here for lunch. We got burgers and lobster rolls from two different truck. Food was good. Loved the sliders from Slide Hustle. But they take time to prepare the orders. We have to wait about 15 minutes to get our items. Despite the slowness I'd still recommend this for the food truck festival like experience.

They have the Honey Buckets in the back corner which felt kinda gross with two food carts right next door. How exactly do they empty the Honey Buckets that close to food? Hmmm. No reason to let that impact the overall 5-star rating... maybe better planning next time? We'll likely go back if we're in the neighborhood. It was decent.
