    Loved the mac and cheese! Gumbo had a stronger taste which was interesting. I want to try the Ya Ya pasta next time

    Great food and staff. Mac and cheese is off the hook and marrow is what's up. Highly recommend them!

    Gumbo is delicious with potato salad mixed in with it! Give it a try, and see for yourself! Friendly customer service is a bonus!

By the time my uncle and I made it over to 'The Yard' Mr. Tukufu had already sold most of his food, it had apparently been a very good day for him, understandably so. Nevertheless, we ordered some leg quarters and he kindly obliged despite appearing to be worn out from the long day. When we came back around to pick up the food I was shocked at the size and weight of the take out bag that was given to us. Mr. Tukufu had certainly hooked us up and when we got back to the hotel we had an absolute feast. I am confident in saying this was the best soul food I have ever had. You could tell it was made with love and sincerity. Thank you to Mr. Tukufu for being so generous, it was not lost on us. We look forward to seeing him again the next time we are in Salem. From my USMC veteran uncle - Semper Fi.

Not a really large serving, three pieces was the large, but it came with lots of fries and (I think, I'm remembering a few days later) hush puppies. Friendly guy behind the window.

    I tried this place at The Yard Food Park in Salem, Oregon. I was blown away by the flavor profile…read morein the sandwich I tried. It was the spicy chicken (don't quote me on the name). It showed 2 chili peppers beside it to show the strength of hotness. To me it was maybe 1 chili pepper. The size of the sandwich was amazing. I was truly expecting a smaller sandwich in comparison to most others but I was wrong. I gave this place 5 stars. The customer service was superb and the wait was well worth it for the flavor that came from the meal. The atmosphere and ambiance at the yard was a laid back and welcoming. I strongly advise trying out this place if your in the mood for some good wings or chicken sandwiches. Fries or tots as a choice for sides and what I would call smothered fries. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

    The server was phenomenal, great attendance. She even offered extra ranch. However, man the food?…read moreNever get the chicken and waffles. That thing was horrific. One bite- all breading no chicken, and burnt up. One bite- the whole thing falls apart and you're left with chicken meat that's half the size of what you ordered. The waffles? Mixed with sawdust, that thing was dryer than the Gobi Dessert. Horrid food, would not reccomend at all. The fries were solid though, I just can't in good conscience rate it anymore than a 1 due to the horrid chicken and waffles.

The young lady running the food cart was friendly and engaging (Thank You, Cammie, good job!). 40-ish-degrees, overcast, and rainy, so what do real Oregon mossbacks go out for? Ice cream, of course. Street Sweets serves Umpqua Ice Cream, so the Licorice, Peppermint, and Caramel and Toffee Crunch ice creams we ordered were delicious. Street Sweets -- one of 16 Food Carts -- is located inside the recently opened The Yard Food Park, on State Street in Salem. We will be happy to return. Five Stars.

While standing in the blowing wind & rain showing that not only do I have an order confirmation but also checked my bank to see a charge, she finally said she would make the order. No biggie. I grabbed a beer and waited because things like this happen. But the food!!! Holy moly was it terrible!!! Microwaved meatballs were still cold. The salad and breadstick that made one of the items an entree was embarrassing. It was literally the smallest salad I've ever seen. Ordered chicken on both Alfredos but only got it on one. Doesn't matter because the pasta was grossly undercooked and the sauce was bland. Microwaved lasagna was a big pile of mush. But the carrot cake was good. So there's that. I guess...
