Food Truck Time: Bam Pow Chow @ the Railhawks game I was super excited to try Bam Pow Chow because the menu looked very appetizing. I ordered the Fried Red Tomato Sliders with an avocado sauce and corn relish. This came with 2 sliders for $7, you can add an order of french fries for an additional $2 (if you love waffle fries then you will definitely want to do this). The food tasted great, I would recommend this food truck. read more

Bam Pow Chow - Fried Tomato Sliders with Fries - Food Trucks Near Me

When you hear that a local food truck has a new owner and he's a talented chef who has been at the helm of some of the areas top restaurants (former Savoy, Glass Half Full, Midtown) you seek them out. We caught up with Bam Pow Chow and chef Marshall Smith at Compass Rose. The menu had four entrees; Angus beef sliders with grilled Provolone, and chimichurri, pulled pork sliders with tangy apples and scallions, the Big Fish sandwich with a lemon dill ranch and cucumbers and fried red tomato sliders with corn relish and avocado sauce. Sides are separate and options include French fries, corn fritters, mac & cheese with bacon, and onion rings. First off, the menu is well priced and the portions are generous. We ordered the Big Fish sandwich and the Angus sliders, and for sides, the corn fritters, French fries and mac & cheese with bacon. The Big Fish sandwich is a large deep fried filet resting on two slider buns. The deep fry reminds me of fish & chips takeaway in the UK, it's crispy and flavorful, but with cucumber slices and dill ranch. The Angus sliders are topped with chimichurri, cooked really well and full of flavor. They were actually described by my daughter as "incredible." The slider buns are worth mentioning. Not run-of-the-mill buns, they are elevated and worth the carbs. The sides are stars too. The French fries are a mix of white potato and sweet potato, fried crispy and dusted with we guess to be garlic and Parmesan(?). The corn fritters...I hesitated ordering them because if fritters are dry, they're terrible. These were the exact opposite of dry. The corn fritters are moist and cake like, and they were served with a spicy mayo for dipping. Finally, the mac & cheese with bacon. This side is more than a side, and the chopped, fresh bacon crowning it takes it to another level. Overall, we enjoyed every bite. High marks from my crew. We can't wait to see how Bam Pow Chow evolves with Smith at the helm. Don't miss out. read more

Not a man-sized helping, but great quality, tasty. I ordered the beef sliders, no sides, total came to $10.72. Burgers were very good, cooked well, juicy, chimmichurri was not overpowering and complemented the burger/provolone well. Bun sort of had the density of a potato bun, not sure if it was or not, but it brought the whole thing home. I have a small greivance with the price and how greasy/wet the bottom of my little tray got, which almost soggied my buns. but sometimes food is messy, and sometimes you've got to pay a premium for quality. I would definitely order from them again if I'm at a rodeo or some such, maybe be braver and give the peanut butter banana hot dog a shot. read more

Bam Pow Chow, I'm in #Foodie Heaven thanks to the Food Truck Rodeo here at my office park today! I was one of the first in line and boy was I pleased with my choice. 3 tacos for $9. The tacos are served in these little crispy crust tortillas. Lightly greasy considering they'd been fried, but honestly not overdone at all. There are four kinds of tacos, including the summer veggie, but here is what I got: 1. Beef & Bacon w/ Smoked Tomato Dressing, Napa Cabbage & Scallions (Hold the scallions for me please.) The tomato dressing was terrific on top -- I'm not a tomato person. 2. Pulled Pork w/ Apple Jicama Slaw -- perfect combination. The slaw complicated the pork perfectly! 3. Shrimp Ceviche w/ Baby Veggies, Avocado, Cilantro & Scallions. I forgot to ask to hold the scallions, but it was another sweet combination. The shrimp was flavorful with an awesome compliment by that avocado drizzle. I really wanted to try the Duck Spring roll from their online menu, but they didn't have it with them today. I perused the online menu before headed down to the courtyard parking lot area where the trucks were and was pleased to see that the line was moving quickly. After asking about the tomato sauce, I learned that it was a husband, wife, and daughter running the show together. Really cool. What made the experience ever sweeter? My Coca Cola said "Superstar" on it. Oh, yes. Thank you. read more

Bam Pow WOW! BPC hit the spot recently when we ran into them at Beericana in Holly Springs. Not only have they come HIGHLY recommended by several of our favorite Yelper friends, but Lindy P. and Sara B. couldn't stop raving about the NY strip sliders topped with an incredible chimichurri sauce; with the visual food-porn they described, we couldn't pass on the opportunity to partake. My tastebuds tingled with the cilantro, shallot, red pepper goodness that is chimichurri sauce, and the provolone topping an incredibly tender NY Strip slider was perfection. $10 for two good-sized sliders were easily split between two, and you can pay an additional $2 for a large helping of hot-out-of-the-fryer french fries. I highly recommend seeking this truck out, they pack a bold punch of flavor and won't leave you disappointed. read more

When I was the "Beer Battered Deep Fried Hot Dog" on the menu, I knew I HAD to order it. Crunchy, juicy, fried goodness. A layer of melted, shredded cheese, shredded napa cabbage, bacon bits, sliced chives, and a dual drizzle of avocado cream sauce + Sriracha? I was sold. I also tried my FIRST cronut! The dessert (tower) consisted of two cronuts with fluffy chocolate mousse on the top and bottom, surrounded by whipped cream, drizzled fudge sauce, and a strawberry on top. Mmmm.... The cronut itself was light and air-pockety. The layers reminded me of filo dough and didn't have much flavor. The sweetness radiated from the toppings and mousse. Guaranteed to give you a sugar-high! I really wanted to try out the rabbit spring rolls, but I was disappointed to not find them on their truck menu... I guess they are a seasonal offering? read more

I finally got to try Bam Pow Chow. I have been wanting to try some of their innovative tacos for awhile now.They serve some amazing food like tacos (out of this world good), soup, fries, cronuts, and drinks. My husband and I tried 3 tacos, fries, and there apple crack cronut. The tacos were amazing. They are made with wonton shells which we loved. Very light and have a perfect crunch with every bite. We had beef and bacon with smoked tomato dressing, napa cabbage and scallions. Delish! Pulled pork with apple jicama slaw, and cold smoked local catfish with cucumber kimchee and scallions. The catfish taco was my favorite although all were great. The fries were amazing as well topped with beef gravy and aged cheddar. I'm drooling a bit just thinking about them. I never had a cronut before until I tried there "Apple Crack." Oh my it was heavenly. A cronut is croissant-doughnut pastry. To me it almost looked like two donuts tasting similar to fried dough topped with apples with cinnamon sugar, maple, and walnuts. Every bite was amazing. We found Bam Pow Chow at Raleigh Brewery but they are a food truck and travel so make sure to check out their website so you can find them and grab a delicious taco of your own. read more

While I'm on a roll writing food truck reviews, I had to throw in a review for Bam Pow Chow. This truck takes the definition of foodie on wheels to a whole new level!! We first discovered them at Brueprint Brewery in Apex, and once we tried a few different kinds of their tacos, we were in love :) We've had them several times in between but they've now switched to sliders, and they're equally tasty (though I'm partial to the tacos!) The flavor and culinary influence in their food is so impressive. I don't think they make tacos anymore, but the Angus beef tips taco topped with bacon & a crema drizzle was the best. At Beericana, we tried the NY strip steak with uber-fresh chimichurri=- whooooa. So. Damn. Good.!!! Though I haven't tried it, I've heard their cronuts are amazing too. Just follow them on FB or twitter to find where these goodies are located :) Their customer service is second to none. Lauire & Sean do a fabulous job, and their younger daughter (~10y/o maybe) helps run food at some events- so cute bc she makes receipts & such! In addition to food truck rodeos & breweries, they host company picnics, corporate events, weddings, parties... be sure to contact them for your next event! read more

Bam Pow Chow came to our workplace and we were all super excited to try these crazy looking cronut creations. So not only did I get three tacos, but I got a huge sweet dessert too. But I just had to. Really. So imagine how disappointed I was when it was not anything like a cronut at all! It ended up being more like a super flaky puff pastry. That's it. Very dry too. Just kept crumbling whenever you tried to bite it. The whipped cream and chocolate drizzle was nice thought. But I wouldn't get it again.. I did enjoy my tacos though. I had the shrimp, pork, and beef I think. The shrimp ceviche taco was delicious! Great food, super fast, but skip the 'cronut'. read more

I constantly search for this food truck to try and eat it's sliders as often as I can. Get the chimichurri flank steak sliders. They are absolutely delicious. If you don't want that, you won't be disappointed by their other options: pulled pork slider was outstanding and even the hot dog was, while unconventional, perfectly balanced. Delicious. One of the best food trucks I've ever tasted in NC! read more

I ordered the Big Fish Sandwich and thought it was very tasty. The fish was a very big piece of what tasted like fried cod. I really enjoyed the sliced dill and spinach which contrasted with the flaky crispy fish texture. My only minor complaint is that I thought the bread bun was not big or sturdy enough to hold the sandwich together. The sandwich fell apart into its separate pieces half way through. Overall, I was impressed with Bam Pow Chow and would love to try the other items on their menu sometime. read more

Dear Bam Pow Chow, I am writing to express my love for you and your tacos and I have realized I can no longer live without you. Just shy of quitting my job and leaving my husband I want to start a committed relationship. Sure you will serve others and I won't lie, I will eat elsewhere but you will remain my one true love. Sincerely, Lisa Ok in all seriousness these people are serving up some tacos that I am day dreaming about. I am going online and marking my calendar, counting down the days until my path crosses them again. Also wondering why they don't come to Durham more! What I know about them is they serve small, maybe 4 bite size tacos. These crispy spring roll wrapper triangles are filled with delicious meats, fresh toppings and drizzled with the right amount of sauce that brings everything together. 1 for $3.50 or 3 for $9. When you see the size and think about what you just paid you might question your decision but after the first bite you will understand young grasshopper. I have tried them twice now at the most recent Durham Food Truck Rodeo's and after checking them out online it looks like I will need to frequent Lonerider, White St. and Fortnight to find them. There menu is small, when I had them this past weekend they only had two types of tacos while the first time they had 4. Now I don't want to hype these people up anymore then I have already but do yourself a favor.... Go to them and eat their taco's.... your welcome. read more

Loved this food truck. The big fish sandwich was delish! And my husband had the flank steak slider with chimichurri and provolone, which he loved. Good food, good service.They do catering too, which I'm considering for an upcoming event, as I think they have something for most tastes. read more

Bam Pow Chow - Food truck roundup on Fayetteville Street. - Food Trucks Near Me

Total disappointment. Don't go!!! Was so exited about eating here at front porch Friday in chapel hill. We waited 30 minutes in line to order. When we went order they were out of the 3 items we wanted!!! Sold out. But didn't bother to put a sign out saying they were out. When I asked what they could do for someone who didn't eat red meat as the shrimp taco and veggie tacos were gone they were rude and unapologetic. Not good service. DONT GO!!! Plus my friend afterwards said the tacos were oily and soggy, maybe she was trying to make me feel better... read more

Do not get the beer mack and cheese. It was watered down with no flavor. I had to throw it away after I ate the 10 small pieces of bacon.

I went to this food truck on a whim and ended up having some amazing steak sliders. The employees had a great personality and were adventurous and asked me try a mixture of spicy mayo and eel sauce(sorry can't remember the actual name for it) for my fries and it was amazing! I will definitely be returning. read more

Like several others said, I saw the Beer-battered Elvis-Dog and had to have one. I was not disappointed. This really was as good a 'specialty item' as I've ever had. A beer-battered hot dog with bacon, bananas and spicy peanut butter sauce sounds good and it was better than I expected. I would definitely eat it again except a friend had the flank steaks sliders and was raving over those, so I suspect that's my next order. read more

Pretty darn good! The meat was really tender with a nice savory flavor. Not over powering at all. The Apple added a nice sweet element to balance it out just right . read more

Holy smokes this food is good. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients and the owner is super friendly and takes pride in his cooking. Impeccably clean, too. I've had the flank sliders, chicken quesadilla, and waffle fries, and they were all incredible. The flavors are unique and complement eachother so well--definitely worth a visit. I have no idea how they grill provolone for the flank sliders, but is is delicious, especially with the chimichurri! read more

They do it right!!!!! Quality, delicious food made to feed the soul. The owner is a great guy with extensive cooking experience. He even cooked a little pork for my elderly little dog who was going to eat through the cup to get every last fraction of a drop. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

Had them cater an engagement party last night and everyone raved about the food! Can't say enough about their deep fried hot dog... Just amazing!! We also had the crab cakes and pulled pork sliders that were a hit. Great food and people to work with. Thanks so much!!! read more

I checked out their website and thought 'Okay, cool. They'll have something I can eat for dinner or as a snack.' When it was time to order I picked the beef sliders and potato wedges and my friend got a couple interesting vegetarian options. Service was friendly and prompt and while I was waiting I noticed the truck had an excellent cleanliness rating. My food was nicely presented and perfectly cooked and seasoned. Sort of like comfort food but interesting and almost gourmet. If I see this truck again I'll probably get something even if I'm not hungry. read more

I had them cater my event for 140 people and they did an AMAZING job!!! Sooo many compliments on the food- the hot dogs were the biggest hit! The owners are super sweet and they get their food out fast and fresh. I will be hiring them again next year for sure. read more

Hands down excellent! Had a beer battered hot dog with cabbage cheese and avocado sauce with spicy mayo...this is the kind of creativity food trucks should be about...the best at the greensboro food truck festival for sure....way to go guys read more

So this food truck would not serve me because I asked for no cabbage on my taco...Excellent customer service....#fail

Went with a group of 10 for lunch at Knightdale station. We sampled the entire menu. Consensus was: "It's OK, not great" & "Pretty good". I thought the food was OK, but for $10 I expect to get more than a couple of tiny sliders. I left hungry. Priced too high for what you get. read more

I ordered the Crab Cake Sliders here. They were yummy! The wait was particularly long though, not sure why that was. But I'd be glad to try more from this friendly clean truck! read more

Decided to try the food struck at the office today...Delicious! I had the flank steak sliders ($10) and went for the fries too ($2 with a meal). I would definitely order it again (maybe without the fries or share with someone if I get the fries). The fries were hot, crispy and seasoned so I enjoyed them very much (so did a couple of co-workers who tried them too). The sliders were delicious! Glad I gave them a shot. Also, very friendly service, always a plus! Thank you, hope you will be back. read more

Bam Pow Chow - Flank steak sliders with chimichurri sauce with a side order of waffle fries - Food Trucks Near Me

Service was great, very friendly staff!! Flank steak sliders with chimichurri sauce is AMAZING!!! Fries were ok.

This food truck came by our office and it is DELICIOUS!! Had the shrimp fritters and they were very flavorful. The texture was on point and the sauces they drizzled on top complimented the spices in the fritter perfectly. The fries are beer battered and of the waffle variety - yum! Only suggestion would be to get an extra side of the sauces to dip the fritters in. Would definitely recommend this food truck. Affordable prices too!! read more

So they were at Raleigh Brewing tonight. I ordered their fried red tomato sliders, but they were sold out. I said "Just make me something vegetarian." The owner/chef took a challenge accepted mentality and made the best sliders with what veggies they had. I ended up with black beans, corn, slaw topped with fries and chimichirri sliders. They. Were. Awesome. Not only was the food great, but excellent customer service. I need to go back when they have fried red tomatoes. read more

These guys are the real deal. The menu changes with the season but the food is always excellent. Well prepared and fairly priced the experience here is fantastic. The steak sliders with chimichurri are one of a kind and always cooked to perfection. read more

High quality, INTERESTING food. So many flavors and textures = better food than restaurants that charge four times as much. Flavor combinations might sound odd but always work well together. Honestly the tastiest food I've ever had from a food truck. read more

Wow and Yes! Great food! Love it! The food was great! Flank steak with chimichurri sauce was great! My bad Fantastic!

I literally dream about their cold smoked catfish tacos with cucumber kimchi!!! They are some of the best things that I have ever eaten. All of their tacos are incredible, so I recommend getting the sampler for your first time. However, my husband & I had to go back for a trio of the catfish tacos - could not get enough! The wonton shells are so light & crispy. You can watch the chef put love into every dish that goes out the window. My only complaint is that they don't live next door! read more

Wow! Tried this on a whim as they parked near my office today. I had the pulled pork sliders with fries, and I'm writing this review to keep myself from going to buy more. My coworkers seem thrilled with their flank steak sliders as well. read more

Amazing! Hot dog was out of this world!!! Fries were very good and well worth the $2. Other items looked good as well but didn't try.

I love their Deep fried tomato slider w/ avocado sauce, black bean/corn relish, cabbage & scallions and their Flank steak slider is my best friend's favorite! Never disappointed and they are always at the Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo! read more
