Welcome to JJ's Louisiana BBQ, a hidden gem located at 625 NE Killingsworth St, Portland, OR. This vibrant food truck is more than just a pit stop; it is a culinary journey through the rich flavors of Louisiana-style barbecue. As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I am thrilled to introduce you to the delightful offerings that await you at this beloved spot.
The moment you step up to the truck, you are greeted with an impressive menu featuring an array of mouthwatering options. From the 1 Meat Dinner priced at $20.99 to the scrumptious 3 Meats Dinner for $30.99, there is something for every barbecue lover's palate. Whether you choose tender brisket, juicy ribs, or flavorful hot links, the portions are generous and satisfying. Customers rave about the enormous ribs, perfect for those who appreciate a hearty meal.
What sets JJ's apart is not only the generous servings but also the exceptional side dishes that accompany your main course. Choose from a tantalizing selection of sides like Mac and Cheese, Baked Beans, and Collard Greens, all priced at $10.50. Customers particularly adore the Mac and Cheese, which is delightfully less creamy, offering a flavorful, drier version that perfectly complements the smoky meats. Beyond the taste, the cornbread muffin, offered with meals at approximately $2 for a small and $4 for a large, adds a touch of sweetness to your feast.

“ My husband and I stopped at this food truck pod for a bite to eat after a long day. It was cold out and let me tell you, the warm food hit the spot. The ribs were huge and I got five with my order. They dont skimp on portions! The plates also come with a sizeable cornbread muffin or roll if you prefer. All this for only 15person. What I really want to comment on is the customer service, which was top notchthe man running the truck was SO nice! He offered to buy a hot link and drinks for my husband and I. We had to insist on tipping. Please stop buy and grab some delicious food. Support local businesses! ”
“ We just happened upon these food carts and are so glad we did. I have never seen a place like this with all the unique decorations and old townmarinerSasquach vibe. We all chose JJs bbq. We each had the one meat dinner with brisket and 2 sides. Between us we had the Mac n cheese, potato salad, collard greens, and baked beans. We loved the brisket. It was tender and had a flavorful sauce. I adored the greens! The potato salad was pretty good, the beans were fine, the corn bread was sweet, but I really loved the Mac n cheese. I know a lot of people didnt love it, but I am glad it isnt a rich and creamy Mac n cheese. I think it would have been too rich with the meat. It is a drier version with a light sauce and elbow noodles, but has flavor. I could have eaten a whole other side of it. I thought it off set the meat and greens perfectly. The guys were also super friendly and gave my son a free apple juice. The price for everything you get was more than reasonable. We would definitely come back! ”

“ This absolutely hit the spot. The food was out in a timely manner, it was nice and steaming warm on a cold drizzly day. The man running the truck was very kind and accommodating. The seating was in a covered area with a heater which made it a cozy atmosphere. ”
“ The food was hands down the best bbq I have had in very long time and the customer service was just out of this world true Southern hospitality by definition this will become a weekly dinner place for the family love it ”
“ Im from the south and take my bbq pretty seriously.. I got the BBQ pork mac and cheese deal for 11.99 and it did not disappoint! I liked it so much, I I have gone back and it was consistent in flavor. Pork was cooked and seasoned just right, I basically inhaled it. Mac and cheese was slightly above average nothing to write home about but honestly thats how most BBQ places are out here and its better than all the other places in PDX Ive tried. Another big reason for return is the service! The person who rang me up was very kind both times and I honestly left smiling because I felt delighted by our short exchange! Thanks, will return again soon ”
“ I recently visited JJs Louisiana BBQ while visiting portland for a family trip and I was blown away by the entire experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with each bite bursting with smoky, savory flavors that left me wanting more. The ribs were perfectly tender, the brisket was meltinyourmouth good, and the sides were just as tasty. What truly set this place apart, though, was the wonderful customer service. The owner was incredibly friendly, attentive, and generous. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time, from offering excellent foods to checking in frequently to see if we needed anything. I cant recommend JJs Louisiana BBQ highly enough for anyone looking for a fantastic BBQ meal with topnotch service. I would definitely want to come back in the future. ”
