Loved the BBQ! Tender meats and very juicy. Great flavor. Very impressed by the smoked turkey, which had great flavor and very moist. I wasn't impressed by their BBQ sauce, but I think that's just personal preference. The only downside is planning ahead to order the BBQ read more

Amazing food and large portions. Can't say much more. I will definitely return. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. read more

Matt's BBQ - A burger with all the meats. So good and a fork will help you eat this. - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

yes, i am a fan... Great pulled pork and brisket. Pinto beans were a bit bland, and guac was over spiced to my taste. I do plan to go back, and recommend it. read more

Wow! Really good barbecue! Shared the shebang for 2, too much for my buddy and I (over 200 lb men) to finish.

Food was ok. Customer service sucked. Parking suck. Dogs shouldn't be allowed around the eating. I definitely wasn't to thrilled about the way he treated his colored customer. I'll never go back. read more

Best BBQ ever, best ribs, best brisket, Ive had better sausage and pulled pork. Sides are ok. Get the Ribs, get the Brisket! Thank you Chris and Nick staff for your service!!! Came back again, two days in a row. Amazing!!! Came back again 3 days in a row. Came to eat the beef rib. Amazing, only available on Saturdays and Sundays, these guys should win an award for best brisket and ribs. read more

Damn this place is a gem. I drive by it all the time, but due to that stupid median on MLK, and no easy way to turn around, I always put it in the back of my mind as a "place to go." Well one day, I'd had enough. I passed it, took three lefts, a right and popped in the parking lot to see what Matt had goin' on. Was not disappoint. I got the Hot Mess sandwich (anything with jalapeños for me). It's been a long time since I've eaten like a ravenous animal, but as soon as I had one bite, I just demolished it. Got a side of potato salad (of course), and it was top notch. The owner (Matt), is super chill, so that's only better. Go to this place. Right now. read more

The Matt's BBQ team put together catered dinner for 30 for a family event last week and not only was the food completely outta this world, the staff and in particular Sarah, were great at communication and coordinating logistics and pickup. I highly recommend them! read more

Damn fine BBQ. Our first visit was a few weeks ago and I still think about that delicious bark on the sliced brisket (which Matt recommended over the chopped brisket). Besides the beef brisket I also had chopped pork and sides of potato salad and pinto beans. The SO ordered a sandwich, The Cow Pig Stacker I believe. He made short work of it and was able to help me little bit with my meal, but leftovers are always welcomed. The flavors are simple, but focused. You taste the beef or pork, not too salty, not too peppery, juicy. The BBQ sauce was VERY good, but I knew the meat can stand on its own and it does so deliciously. If I didn't have a stomach of limited size and *ahem* need to lose some weight, I would have happily ate everything and had no leftovers. We are fans and will be back for more. I highly recommend following Matt on Twitter or FB so you can find out if he's sold out or not. You can also call him and he answers right away which is amazing. Also, there's some parking in the lot (shared with H&B Pawn Shop, Kim Jong Grilling and 2 more carts), but it can get cozy in there! If a bunch of you are going, carpool or park in the residential area west of MLK and walk around. read more

Great bbq! Went early and got there before they opened. And already there was a line. Simple, delicious menu of your meats. Highly recommend if you are craving bbq or just want some tasty meats! Remember go early if possible, otherwise it may sell out. read more

Best BBQ in Portland and the surrounding suburbs!!! If you know of better, please let me know. Love and knowledge go into what Matt and his crew do here. It is all amazing, but the brisket is my personal favorite. It's like budda'! The pulled lamb is exceptional and more unusual to find as well, but they don't have it every day. If you love BBQ done with TLC you will not be disappointed. You can believe the hype! read more

Great. Do yourself a favor, drop in and meet the man serving up the most authentic bbq in PDX.

Meat is tender enough - above okay - the sauce is awful. Be careful ordering their brisket - make sure you ask for it to be sliced - otherwise it's minced?! read more

I ordered the whole shebamich which has all the meats on a bun which equals to about a pound of meat. This meal did not disappoint it was amazing. All the meat was tender and juicy. Will definitely be going back. read more

Matt's BBQ - Greatness!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

There isn't a single thing on the menu that isn't good. The guys that work there are cool as fuck, and very talented artists, in my estimation. If you can find something here that isn't finger licking good, then I will kiss your ass...because you won't. read more

Really good bbq! The beef rib was awesome and the brisket was great. Get there when they open and there isn't such a long line, or go when it is raining. Sides are a bit lacking but meat is great! read more

Best BBQ in town hands down! I haven't had a single bad experience at this cart in over three years other than him selling out because it's so GOOD!!! I will go anywhere Matt sells his meat, he is a BBQ genius! read more

Outstanding BBQ. Brisket is tremendous. Matt knows the drill here. Brisket is the best in PDX. Ribs very good. Great bark and Matt is a great dude. read more

Everything here is great, but especially the brisket, pork belly, queso mac & cheese and ribs. Get there early since they usually run out of some of the meats. They sometimes have lamb too. Glad they moved to the food trucks near Prost. read more

We had the pleasure of trying Matt's BBQ on Monday. The line was long, but what would you expect if the food is delicious. Everything was great! Please give them a try! You will not be disappointed. read more

What an awful dining experience. Used grubhub to deliver a Matt's order. Delivered on time, it was the wrong order ! Missing meats no sides , the dishes that were delivered were on their side and the food was all slyffed at one end. We ordered $70 of got 1/2 that ! Here's the kicker ... Called Matt's repeatedly... NO ANSWER ! ..... Texted Grub .... No response. We ended up waiting and buying from another restaurant 3 hours later. read more

Great food, just like every review says but from a customer's perspective the ordering is hands down the worst I have encountered (clearly it's just my personal opinion). As a first time customer none of this is explained but the way you order is by scanning a QR code. Once step 1 is complete you can sift through the menu and make a decision. Step 2 is figuring out how you want to pay, nothing is done in person by card. So I started to enter all my debit card info but the process itself is kind of clunky and I saw the option to use cashapp, so I did. It seemed easy but after I confirmed my payment with cashapp I had to go back and then confirm my actual order on the original site. If it sounds confusing that's because it is. I had placed my order of 3 items and got a beer while waiting as one would. Then I got a second beer and still hadn't heard my name. After about 50 min of waiting I decided to go check on the status of the order. As it turns out, you need to physically go an tell them that you have placed an order to "check in" and they will start preparing it which is *KEY* information. After waiting 50min and checking on my order the informed me that I indeed do have to check in before they start my order. I think that what is most frustrating about my experience is that you have to jump through multiple hoops just to get an order *placed* then you have to go tell them you placed an order and they can start it for you. I'm sure there are benefits to the business owner for this but from a customer standpoint this is easily the most inefficient, time consuming, and honestly annoying food experiences I have had in the last year. Again, incredible food, but I can honestly say I will happily venture out to other bbq spots to avoid the confusion a second time. I came here because I was hungry and wanted to try a spot I had been eyeballing and waiting to try for about a month. This was a let down and personally it's not worth my time to deal with. Ordering food is mindless, this place makes you think. read more

Matt's pork brisket sandwich and ribs was very good. The reason why I only gave him four stars is because, the sauce was not that good. However I will return to get ribs and sauce them up at home. Luv you Matt. read more

Back to Matt's... back in line... the line is certainly worth it... they are pretty fast all things considered but it's not their fault they have the most killer BBQ around. Cheers! read more

Seen on food network and was excited it was only a minute walking distance from me. Matt is soooo sweet and has great customer service. However, the meat is not all that everyone is acting like it is. My food was bland I got the meal where you have everything on it and all the side were not good and the meat tasted mediocre at best. I know this place is extremely popular but I seriously paid 20 something dollars and had so much leftovers that I threw away. I was not impressed and disappointed read more

This place was better than expected since it was a "food truck". We got the total shebang which was recommended for 4 people. It consisted of: Brisket, Pork, Pork Belly, 2 sausages, 3 ribs & all sides which were Coleslaw, Potato Salad, Pinto Beans and Queso Mac & Cheese. The brisket was good. Pork belly lacked flavor. Ribs were fall off the bone delicious! The beans and queso mac n cheese were my fave. You have to get there early because they do sell out. We overheard them tell the people behind us that they had already ran out of ribs. There are other food trucks around as well but this one seems to be the most popular. read more

Matt's BBQ - Food Trucks Near Me - Portland, Oregon

See all

Definitely a savory type of BBQ rather than a sweeter one. Even their BBQ sauce that you can add isn't that sweet. We tried their pulled pork sandwich as well as the brisket, both were mediocre. The buns are amazing though. Also had a side of pinto beans, do yourself a favor and skip. They were lacking in flavor big time. Almost like a chili but not nearly as good. Could definitely just open a can of baked beans that would have tasted better. Loved the look and feel of everything but disappointed with the flavors, or lack there of. For the price of everything I probably wouldn't return. read more

Life lesson #1...Don't ever judge a book by its cover! Looks are deceiving since it's a travel trailer sandwiched between two buildings in a parking lot, but the BBQ is some of the best I've ever had! My brisket was flavorful and tender enough to cut with a fork, and the baked beans are worth a double helping. I live an hour away, but I will definitely be back! I give Matts a SOLID 5 STAR RATING. read more

Soooo good!.. sad you moved.. hope there is parking for handicap .. there.. see you soon

First off this is the best BBQ in Portland. I love it! Their meats are INSANE! BUT, had a horrible experience. The staff does not care about you! Apparently they just want to sell out and go home (typical Portland stuff). I brought a group of friends in from out of town. I was raving about the beef ribs. We got there at 10:45 a.m. on a Sunday and were the third group in line. Super excited! Get to the front only for them to tell us that they just sold ALL of the beef ribs to the first person in line. They sold them ALL to one person? The f*k? Why? This embarrassed me in front of my friends, made me look like a total idiot. All of this planning for nothing. Matt, if you are reading this, please set a 2 pound limit on beef ribs so more people can experience the goodness! Selling them all to one person is a slap in the face to your biggest fans and I'm sure, really bad for business in the long run. read more

Brisket? Say no more and stop searching. Go to Matt's BBQ. Their seasoning is consistent and their quality of meat is top notch. They definitely approach barbeque as an art. read more

This is some amazing bbq! Hard to find but worth the hunt! I will definitely stop again the next time I am in the area!

We came here on Sunday with friends from Florida at 3:30 and they were already sold out of all their meat. We were so disappointed that we decided to come back Monday at 11 am when they opened....WE WERE SOOOOO HAPPY WE DID!!! Hands down best BBQ we have ever had!!! They are fast and courteous and the prices were more than fair! We loved it and if you hear all the hype about them being fantastic.....believe it! read more

Oh my dang!!!! Matt's BBQ tacos are AMAZING!!!! My new fave food truck in the city!!!! #addicted

Happened to drive by this truck where this food is smoked up & served.....a couple of times. Today was hubby & I made the opportunity to visit for a late lunch. A good number of customers were seated when we arrived around 2:00...and that was great for us. We were treated to a visual assortment of menu items. OMGosh!! By the time our orders were taken, we had to have one of EVERYTHING!!! Our boxed lunch was weighty but we threw caution to the wind & dug in. Who needs forks when the eatin' is this goooood. Highly recommended. read more

This is some of the best bbq I have ever had and I've done my rounds. I highly suggest the brisket! Don't be in a hurry though, line was out to the street but worth it and prices are pretty darn good! read more

Great BBQ! The guys in the truck had great attitudes and were very knowledgeable. Exactly as I had hoped it would be. Not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. read more

Saw this place online for the best bbq. Went and ordered one of everything and I cant even make this up....it was all horrible. I wanted good bbq juicy, full of flavor and southern goodness. All i got was dry ribs I didn't even touch, mac and cheese and all the sides were bland or just tasted gross. I wish I had pictures to show what the ribs looked like. Never again. If you want good bbq don't go here. Literally white people bbq....hence "matt" Coleslaw was bland, potato salad was gross like they just threw some old bay and kept it pushin, and the mac and cheese looked like it was microwaved, and last but not least the pinto beans were like water with salt and vinegar in shape of beans that were grey. But other than that great location and a cute places next to it you should try read more

There pulled pork tacos are amazing! I love this place! Their new location on Mississippi st. is great! The guys in the cart are very friendly and every time I've stopped by they always remember me. My brother and mom told me to come here, a year or so ago. And definitely the best tacos/bbq in Portland! 5 star, always a good experience here! The line is worth the wait! read more

This is definitely the best BBQ I've had in the PDX area. I've been to most of them. I had the "Whole Shabang", which was a bit of everything from the menu. Best part was the spicy sausage and brisket. Only 4 star due to the prices, which are just a bit too high for BBQ from a food truck, IMO. I'll be back, but not as often as I would like. read more
