My experience was wonderful. My food was delicious. Perfectly balanced BBQ sauce and a pulled pork sandwich with zero gobs of fat. Thanks for the attention to detail of making the sandwiches mostly the good bits of the pork. Collareds were a little plainer than you're typically getting. I loved it. They weren't sloppy and watery. Great flavor and texture. It was an excellent dinner. read more

I genuinely had such high hopes for this place for the amount of good reviews but it was a big disappointment. I paid 25 bucks for a can of soda (which they forgot to give me, and I had to go ask for), a tiny pile of brisket, 2 chicken thighs, a nibble of mac and half a corn cob. the mac was super dry, oily, and bland. the best part was the corn lol. I was so excited to splurge on a yummy meal, and ended up disappointed and still hungry. The only thing saving it from 1 star was the very sweet woman in the truck. read more

JJ's was so yum.com I got the ribs and they were so tender and the bbq sauce was sooooo good. Reasonably priced and he included extra hot sauce in case I didn't like the bbq. Service was fantastic. Overall wonderful experiences!! Delish!! Ate the whole thing alone! read more

Not a cultured bbq place get your pork with bbq and be on your way chicken was dry macaroni was literally pasta with cheese. He knows he serving some bs as soon as you get the plate all in peoples energy can't believe I really wasted money on this for me and my 2 kids low effort or low quality was unbelievable read more

For my lunch, I decided to try JJ's Barbecue. Upon arriving, I noticed a sign that read "Yes, we're open." Following the instructions on the window, I either knocked or rang the bell as directed. A woman opened the window and said, "Can you see the sign says we're closed?" Perplexed and confused, I glanced to my right, as the sign clearly indicated they were open (see attached picture). Politely, I pointed out that the sign stated the opposite--that they were open. Her tone shifted slightly, but she responded in a condescending manner, explaining that they didn't have any food prepared and that I would need to wait if I wanted to place an order. I interrupted her to say that based on her attitude, I didn't want any of JJ's Louisiana Barbecue. Her response? "That's fine," followed by shutting the window. This interaction left a bad impression. Her dismissive approach, coupled with the insinuation that I couldn't read the sign correctly, was both insulting and unprofessional. Whether the sign had said "closed" or not, no customer deserves to be treated this way. For me, food and customer service go hand in hand, and I take both very seriously. Based on this experience, I have no desire to return and would not recommend JJ's Louisiana Barbecue to others. Zero stars! read more

JJ's Louisiana BBQ - "Yes, we're OPEN" - Barbeque Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Takes forever. Dry nasty rubber food. Find another spot to get good food. This isn't it.

Went to jjs for lunch and it was such a great idea! The meat was cooked perfectly and he asked so many questions that helped us make the best decisions. Service was wonderful and quick! The area is super cute too we had a great time and will be back! read more

We drove all the way to 6th & Killingsworth, because of the review rating. We've not been there before, and we've been meaning to come here (possibly even bring my group for lunch), but first we need to test-taste them. SADLY, when we finally found the food cart, we were told by their neighbor, that they've not been there FOR a MONTH! The place is closed! Will update, when I hear more. read more

Today was the first time I ate your ribs I have to say I enjoyed them! They were tender and flavorful. Potato salad was good also but I didn't taste any egg?? Still good I will order again read more

We came across JJ's last week and the moment we arrived in the food court a couple approached us urging us to get food there because they loved it and we took them at their word. The food was fabulous! The brisket was tender and the chicken and pulled pork had a great flavor and were perfectly cooked! I loved the potato salad as well and the cornbread was the perfect consistency, not too sweet and very moist. I will definitely return, Tim was so friendly and such a wonderful host, we felt at home and appreciated the service. Thank you, JJ's, see you again! read more

JJ's is a newer cart up on Killingsworth at the Piedmont food carts and I'm never gonna say no to BBQ. It was later in the evening and they had sold out of brisket. Chicken and pork ribs it was. I got the two meat combo which comes with two sides and some cornbread. Ok, the good was the meats. The ribs were tender and the chicken was also cooked well. Spicy BBQ sauce was not too spicy but had a little zing. The cornbread was good and on the sweet side. The sides? I was a bit disappointed. The collards were too salty and the mac & cheese, not seasoned enough. I figure that they're still a new cart so I'd think things will improve. Give em a try. Enjoy and support local. read more

Food was cold and looked and tasted like it had been sitting for a few hours. Mac and cheese was cold elbow noodles with nothing on them. I got about 7 cold fries. Chicken skin was rubbery and meat was dry and inedible. Tips also inedible. Ribs were tender but ice cold. I will add, I had the food delivered but I tracked my driver. It took 10 minutes so this might have added to everything being cold, but not the food's taste and overcooked items. read more

One of the most challenging aspects of food trucks is knowing when they are going to actually be open. Clearly this business doesn't really value regular hours so customers like me that drive in from out of town to try their food read more

The gentlemen running the cart when I went were super friendly and offered my daughters free juice. I've been on the hunt for some good greens and baby these were IT! The chicken was to die for! it had a smoky taste to it. the prices are great for all that you get. I highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Worst bbq ive ever had. Over sauced, mac was dry and grose, beans were worse. Dont go there for food, just help them throw away the garbage

I had the pleasure of speaking with JJ this evening. This man cooks ALL NIGHT for that slow roasted Louisiana BBQ. The food trucks around here close a little early and JJ stayed open to even gave me samples of the menu to help with my decision. Truly southern hospitality at its finest. This man could lead me into hell with his southern charm and I would be none the wiser. I highly recommend the food but it's the man behind the truck that is the real treasure of this food truck park. read more

Ordered 3 different dinners. delivery was good. Food was horrible. The rib tips dinner was 2 pork ribs and a dried out a chicken thigh. 2 orders of brisket were so fatty they were mostly inedible. the cajun fries were just frozen crinkle fries with no seasoning. Mac and cheese was cheeseless, just cooked Mac. the corn muffin was super dry. the greens were bland and cold. Unbelievable that a restaurant would send out food of this quality. read more

so nice and great bbq! came out piping hot and i can tell the mac n cheese was homemade :)

Had the three meat option with pulled pork, brisket, and ribs and they were all absolutely amazing. We are visiting from San Diego where Phil's BBQ reign supreme and I think JJ's is on par, if not better, than Phil's! Not only that, Tim's service was exceptional; it made a wonderful lunch experience for me and my family. read more

Tried the rib tip sandwich, $11ish bucks I think. Very tender and juicy, the collard greens were decent but still a bit bitter but the cornbread was the best I've ever had, so dense and buttery goodness. A lot of food for little money IMO. It's in the piedmont station food cart pod, plenty of seating outside as well as indoor (and a beer cart!) read more

JJ's Louisiana BBQ - What a gd mess for $30 - Barbeque Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Absolutely amazing customer service and even better barbecue, rib tip and brisket are a must as well as the potato salad.

Whoa. Ok I was a little hesitant because it's new and I'm a picky eater, but I saw "Louisiana" and felt comforted as a Cajun gal myself. This brisket is phenomenal!!! I don't think I've ever had brisket this soft and amazing. I swear I always get that dry, gray, tough brisket out of the south so I was nervous, but this is the real deal. Cornbread muffin: perfection. Collard greens: excellence. You've won a regular for sure! read more

I was excited to try this place. I got delivery and while it was late, my hunger could not motivate me to eat even half of my meal. The meat was tender but also extremely fatty. The whole the sauce was okay the meat was quite bland. The Mac and cheese was not very cheesy and the baked beans were pretty lack luster. read more

I was at friend backyard barbecue yesterday barbecue ribs was on point and potato salad very nice service and the owner was very polite

Ribs were tinder but cold. Bbq sauce had good flavor but greens had no seasoning at all.

Awesome! Super friendly service and delicious ribs and brisket. Will be back for sure!
