We decided it would be a good idea to fill our tummies with some lunch before getting to camp and having to set everything up. The lady running it is pretty friendly, though she was out of quite a lot of things on the menu sadly (I couldn't get the sweet potato fries or the flavor of sauce I wanted... jeez). Pricing was reasonable, especially for canned soda and bottled water (just a buck!). I noticed as she was preparing that the Mac n cheese was just frozen Stoffers... lol. And the sauces are just Cattlemen's, but on the menu they've been "rebranded" as the food truck's own thing. Sorta lame/lazy but honestly I can't hate too much on her for that; the world is tough right now, so if she can just repackage yummy prepared food for others and make a decent living, more power to her. Everything tasted good ultimately. The wait time for preparation was acceptable. But my pulled pork sandwich was decidedly lukewarm. Dunno why. Could've used a lot more cabbage. There were a couple of tables with umbrellas around outdoors to lounge and eat, which was nice. The owner even wandered over while we were eating to ask how everything was.

Super welcoming small-town vibe, quick service, and everything tasted homemade. Portions were generous for the price. Definitely coming back ! If you're in the Sandy/Estacada/Eagle Creek area and love real BBQ, this is a hidden gem you need to check out. Call ahead for ribs or the pulled pork bowl! Highly recommend.

The food here is fantastic! We passed through Estacada…read morearound lunch time and discovered this food cart on our way out of town and had to turn back around to give it a try. We were so happy we did because the food is delicious! Our order was taken by the friendliest woman. We wanted to try everything but settled for a steak burrito, chicken chimichanga, spicy pork street tacos & a steak flour taco. Absolutely everything was fresh, flavorful, served hot and tasted so good! The chimichanga was a wonder thin wrap that fries up perfectly. That and the burrito were stuffed full of meats and other fillings. The tacos had the perfect amount of meat and topped with fresh veggie fillings. There were several nice tables to eat at beside the cart so we had a seat and dug into our bounty. We also tried the green sauce, red sauce and avocado sauces. Those just added a little more yum to everything! This might end up being our new favorite taco cart in the area. We will definitely be back.

The fish was fresh, delicious, and lightly breaded to perfection, with a really great tartar sauce. And those rosemary fries... OMG. To die for! I had the chicken strips, and honestly, I may have been ruined for any other chicken strips for life. They were SO flavorful and tender. And I have to give another special shout-out to the coleslaw -- just perfect. Not too much of anything, just the right balance. We also had the spinach salad, which was perfectly dressed and had just the right amount of toppings. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I just love this place. It's one of those spots that feels like a little piece of Lincoln City goodness, and I'm so happy to see it doing well.

After asking for a sample of the clam chowder which he should have offered after I asked how thin of a consistency it was. Didn't ask if my order was to-go, so he was miffed when I asked him to put it on a container. The Tidal Boar'd oysters were so salty, they were almost inedible. I only ate them , because they were $4 each. They were beautiful, but akin to a salt lick. I don't know if that was the trout roe, or what. Needed way less salt, more acidity, and the heat wasn't there at all. Visual stunning, but horrendously salty. The 3 pc rockfish was pretty good. Clean, , fresh, and flakey. Seasoned well. Good fries, too. The clam chowder was different. Potatoes cooked through, full of flavor. All that for $42+tip. Might be back, if the server from yesterday isn't there. Might not be back at all, too many places to get the same thing with way better service. Never informed we ordering that I wouldn't be able to take the oysters to go. Don't know if that's posted. Good fish, indifferent service. Nary a thank you , whatsoever. Sucky service.

Hanging from the ceiling are roughly a dozen colorful umbrellas. There is no shortage of visuals in this restaurant. The food: Beignets - we tried the classic and the Berry White. Both were great, but I'd give a slight nod to the original. The one buried in powdered sugar helps keep the texture of the Beignet. The Pickle Gambit - super thinly lengthwise sliced pickles in a light batter. Comes with chipotle aioli and ranch. Good portion size. One of the best fried pickles I've ever had. Ned's 5-Alarm Chicken - really good crust and very flavorful. One regret is we didn't go waffles with this. Lemon Poppyseed Slaw - tastes like a classic slaw. A little sweet and creamy. Goes really well with the heavier dishes that we got. The Shrimp Incident - small shrimp and sliced sausage with a Cajun cream sauce and crostini. We thought this was ok Country Mac - my favorite part was the fried chicken as it was very tender and flavorful. The shell shaped pasta was cooked al dente - it was firmer than I would like partly due to the pasta being on the thick side. The Mac is Cajun forward and not very cheesy. Staff was very friendly. We enjoyed our meal, but it was definitely on the heavier side and could have used something to balance it out.
