This is hands down my favorite food truck I have ever been to. Their service is amazing. Their ambience is a food truck court yard, but I'm all about that! I can't wait until I go to Astoria again and I will likely drive out there soon just to get some of their amazing food. I drove past too many times initially, but my time in England told me that a pasty is not something to pass up lightly when done well. And they exceeded anything I tried and was fond of in England by far. The first time I came here, I ordered for myself... then I ordered one of everything on their menu so I could drive it back to my family in Vancouver. This review has been a long time coming, but I'm going to be heading back as soon as possible to get more!! read more

Oh, my! You'll want to stop here for these pasties! The apple dumpling is wonderful, too. The owners are so friendly. It was a real serendipity to find this food truck!

While in Astoria, OR, we found an amazing food truck called,Bucket Bites! They make pasties (pass-tees) The owner, Chris is the kindest, most helpful guy ever. We tried 3 varieties Uncle Oggie, Slater and Tail Gater, Pipeiline and Stampmill Gravy and I forget the name of the other one. We were so impressed with this business! The food was excellent, comfort food that you would expect to find in old world Europe in Astoria, OR of all places. What a delightful experience. Great to meet you Chris! We are going to tell everyone about you!!!! read more

Bucket Bites - Apple Dumplings with an incredible Caramel Sauce - Food Trucks Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

I have waited 3 years to try these pasties and omfg they were worth the wait. The filling was so soft and tender and flavorful I can't even put into words how delicious it was and the pastry was just amazing! I got gravy on the side but I didn't even need it even though it was great too! Stop by if you have the chance it's so worth it and I will be a regular from now on. read more

Passing through town on a road trip and saw this place. We decided to stop and see if they had any vegetarian options, and luckily for us they did! And holy cow it was good! I cant recommend this place more! Also the nice lady working it was beyond friendly, helpful and patient. We will be back next time we are passing through! read more

Absolutely A++. The crust on these is perfect. The crust to filling ratio is perfect. They had just the right bite to them and they were ample . We got the Slater and Tailgater. The dumpling was a work of art. and not goopy or cloyingly sweet. The person serving us was the owner I believe and she was just delightfully engaged. This has made it to my top 3 Astoria food places. Can't wait to go back. read more

I thought I remembered how mind-glowingly good this food truck was, but I had forgotten that their hand pies and sweet pastries are the actual long-lost cure for whatever ails your heart. Blame it on said heart: The first time I tasted Bucket Bites, I was in the glow of new love and on the hunt for a cinnamon roll. I ordered an apple dumpling instead, which I shared with my very special travel buddy on the river walk. It had the perfect amount of cinnamon spice, and was as gooey as the sweet couple who run the truck and had shared with us their love of British-style "pasties." The next morning, we tucked into the savory pies and when I tell you this was the first time in my life my 96 percent plant-based heart exploded over gravy, I am using the appropriate verb. The flavors were perfect, but even better was the mix of textures. These people know their way around a pie crust -- how to make sure the inside is just chewy enough while the outside holds a perfect firm crust with the exact right amount of flake. When I went back today, my heart was a lot heavier. That relationship had ended with spectacular sadness. Here I was on another road trip with a different lover, a little weary from the logistical challenges of travel and wary of what the future holds upon our return. It was one of those days when you go looking for familiar nourishing foods to get you through a difficult feeling, but you're so -- well, whatever the depressed version of "hangry" is for to be excited about ordering anything, so I reluctantly picked up a blackberry galette, certain I wouldn't feel anything but pretty sure we would both need a pick-me-up on the journey home. Then I made a fatal mistake: I tasted it. And I remembered. The burst of a giant juicy blackberry on my tongue, in its own syrup; that same chewy, flaky crust baked to perfection; the evident quality in every ingredient, down to the satisfyingly crunchy sugar crystals around the edge. I fed half of it to my partner, purple juices dripping down my thumbs, and felt my love-force return to me. Upon their insistence, we turned right back around and gave our very last dollars to this very in-love couple who put literal romance into their food. Because no trip to Astoria would be complete without some pasties and an apple turnover from Bucket Bites, read more

These pasty's are amazing. I lived in England until I was 18 and the uncle oggie is wonderful My wife go the slater loved hers as well. We loved so much we ordered 4 to go so we can freeze and heat up later at home. Superb service. read more

You have to try this place out for yourself! My fiancé and I have been back here multiple times not just for the food, but for the people making the food as well. They are great people using environmentally friendly containers who actually care about the impact they make. Our go to's are the Lumberjack with the Stampmill gravy and an apple dumpling to share. Tell your friends about this place! read more

Bucket Bites - Lumberjack Pastie with Stampmill gravy - Food Trucks Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Very high recommendation. Fantastic pasties (meat pies you can hold as you eat). Some menu items are always there like my fave the savory "Uncle Oogie" with roast beef and potatoes, or the "Slater" with beef and pork, potatoes, bacon, and cheddar jack. There's always a savory vegetarian pastie, too. Menu changes daily, so you can mix it up and enjoy different flavors. You can also add sides and gravies if you want, but the pasties themselves are exceptional on their own. Each pastie is spiced in unique ways that really make the flavors pop, and it's really pleasing to hold the warm pie in your hand while you eat it. On the sweet side, there's always a sweet pastie (like the recent offerings blueberry with lemon glaze or mango/peach with Irish cream glaze, both are top-notch) based on the season, and a killer Apple Dumpling that's always available. I've had them all, and they're delightful. The dough, the fresh ingredients, and the warmth of the proprietors really shines here. The prices are good, too. Going through Astoria, I'll always stop at this food truck, and sometimes it's worth a special trip just to get some! Check their Facebook or Instagram to find daily offerings. When they sell out, they're done for the day. Look for the black and white "Pasties" wagon on the right side of the road when you're headed south on Highway 101, just south of the Astoria bridge. They share a spot with a Mexican food truck. The dough they make the pasties from is so good, it haunts me in my sleep! :) read more

Wow! Not only is the food delicious but the owners are beyond kind. The lumberjack pasties and the sweet pasties are incredibly delicious. We had blueberry and peach rhubarb on the sweet pasties. Don't skip this food truck on your way through Astoria. read more

We stopped on the way out of town and I'm SO GLAD. We bought two Uncle Oggie pasties, one strawberry rhubarb hand pie, one whoopie pie, and two CC puffs (cinnamon sugar muffin-like things) and every speck of this food is delicious. Since we are driving I didn't get the gravy, and even though the pastie was amazing and moist even without it, I really wish I had!! It sounded so good. The pastry on the Uncle Oggie is strong (as in it held together) but soft and flavorful, and the filling is chunks of juicy meat and potatoes with lovely seasoning. Super nice lady running the cart, super nice guy who ran the food out to us. A must when we go to Astoria from now on, oh my goodness. read more

Gorgeous AND delicious pasties. You must try them. If your choose roast or ground beef, you must also choose the gravy made with red wine and bone broth. My husband grew up eating pasties in Scotland, and I ate them while visiting my father in Butte years ago. Both of us thought the quality was excellent. Owners are super friendly and knowledgeable, their crust is tender and delicious, and they offer dog treats...which got a very high rating when dipped in the aforementioned gravy! read more

Really good Pastie and gravy ! We will be back next time we are in Astoria, Service was great and quick.

First time visit today and we were so glad we stopped in! Super friendly and helpful service and the food was absolutely delicious. We were impressed start to finish and would highly recommend. read more

BEST FOOD IN ASTORIA. I demand you go there and check them out. You will be glad you did. And for the love of Cthulhu, be sure to pronounce "pasty" correctly before you order. You're not there to get ornaments for your nipples. read more

Pasties were amazing. Apple dumpling and fruit galette delicious. It's like home cooking from your childhood in a hand pie
