The first time I went here they were out of brisket so I had pulled pork and it was amazing. The pit beans were amazing and the corn bread was so good I got a second piece. The second time I went there I had the brisket. I will say after living in the south the flavor wasn't there for the brisket. I will eat there again but will try ribs next time. Pulled pork is my recommendation for now. The service was amazing the first time I was there the second time was good but not like my first time. It all depends on the staff. read more

Some of the best BBQ and comfort food you'll ever get. Anywhere. Don't sleep on this. It's the rilla dilla!

I really enjoyed this place. My son and I stopped in here after a hike and I ordered the combination plate. Flavors were really good sauces were really good and the sides were fantastic. Would definitely recommend this place read more

This truck has somewhat restricted hours. I've been patronizing them for years but it's hard to connect often enough to review every dish they offer, and their menu is fluid. Currently, I like their slaw, with its creamy dressing, about the best of the eight bbq trucks I monitor, although one other (High On The Hog) has a liquidy sweet and sour dressing which is unique and intriguing. I've been making inquiries at my Q joints and it's looking like all start with canned beans, but Big D's are seasoned with spices which I cannot identify and I like them the best of all my bbq venues. Big D, BG's, High On The Hog and Cindy Lou's are the only suppliers that make homemade bbq sauce, as far as I can tell. I would suggest that customers ask to have the sauce in a tub, so they can make their own judgement. The meat servings have been extraordinarily generous. I got three meat portions out of my last $5 plate. Value is there. Especially now, with the quarantine bollixing up supply chains, I definitely recommend consulting Big D's Facebook page before setting forth to do business. Or call. At the time of this review they were not delivering. The Facebook page will show a changing list of daily specials and below, a photo of the standing menu on the side of the truck; items from both menus will be available unless sold out. read more

A restaurant that's only open 1 or 2 days a week should offer more than "just breakfast ". And that was just reheated leftovers at best. The smoker was not on at all, at any time! NOT RECOMMENDED!!!! read more

Love the food! Tried 2 daily specials: Malibu Chicken Sandwich and Steak and Mushroom Sandwich. Side was the Mac n Cheese. The chicken was tender and full of delicious smokey flavor - very generous serving too! The steak and mushroom was superb! Very lean, tender and flavorful - and also a very generous serving. The owners are very nice and the aromas - WOW! We will be back to explore more of the menu!!!! read more

Got here around 2.30om for a late lunch. I ordered the smoked tacos, husband got the mac and cheese with pulled pork. We also did a side of 1/4 ribs that went we took home as there was just too much food to eat. Great service, wish he was in Salem! Will come back read more

Was a 2 star but Owners Attitude drove it to a 1. We looked on yelp and online nothing he states below was ever found to be true. Hopefully he updates the menu so people dont wate time going. Decided to give this BBQ a try. To start with I have had BBQ all over the USA. Texas to Alaska and everywhere in between. Personally i Usually smoke my own in a Texas fasion. Started off bad big item here is the TaterPig a Large Baked Potato with butter sour cream cheese and a meat of choice. No baked potatoes but they got some left over mashed. No Thxs not even close. Biggest seller and you have none. Since waiting 15 minutes every group of people have asked for the TaterPig. Current group is on their 3rd choice of food with all we are out but.... The smoker is not running its lunch so more than likely the food is going to be lefovers. Personally I would have at least had the smoker going. Otherwise its not freshly made. So Far feeling like I should have skipped it. No drinks of any kind goto the liquor store for something to drink. Interesting not the first time. Got food its steamed reheated food. The togo box is full of steam and water. Completely bland meat. No rub no anything to make it stand out. Smells smoked but not taste it. I can see it being reheated Costco food from a couple blocks away. Strange BBQ Sauce. Most places would call it a relish or chutney. No liquids in this one. read more

I ordered the tacodillos, brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, and potato salad. Wife ate all the tacodillos and I didnt get to try them. She said they were delicious. Brisket was very good, nice smokey flavor, i ordered the last of it today. Pulled pork was pretty good also. Something I really liked about this place is the flavor on the meats, very good smoke and seasonings. The sides left a bit to be desired but I really didnt come for the sides I guess. I am pretty critical on bbq places though since I do bbq competitions. As of right now in the mid Willamette valley this place is the best. I like it more than ALL of the places in Salem. Nice que guys! read more

If you want some slow-cooked, falling off the bone deliciousness, then go to Big D's Smokin Q. It is serious bbq good! Had their pork ribs, brisket, potato salad, baked beans, and the dirty Mac with pork verde. Every bite was like a trip to Texas--it was that good! And way more than we could eat, which means more for later! What a great find! read more

Big D's - 2 meat platter with ribs and brisket - Food Trucks Near Me - Lebanon, Oregon

This is the barbecue you need. It's like being in the South only without the bugs and humidity. Come here. If you don't, then your tastebuds will have missed out on an experience akin to discovering that you have a missing Van Gogh in your garage, only the BBQ equivalent. This is a food truck in the parking lot behind a building. If you come during the summer, the proprietor's young son has built a fort next to the food truck. He'll ask you about whether not you have children and will come talk to you. He's a delight. If you have kids, bring them along. I'm sure he'll appreciate the playmate. The portions are enormous. The baked beans are not to be missed. read more

Where do you go when ever bbq place in the Willamette valley is closed? Big D's apparently. And man am I glad I did. I would love to recommend their briquette sandwich to one and all. Had my eyes not been so big I would've stopped there and have been well satisfied, but nope. I got a whole rack of ribs too. Fair warning: they're freaking massive. Not in a bad way, just in a surprising way. This place was a great representation of the valley with some savory offerings especially good on a sunny summer day. read more

So good food came out fast quite completely yummy! Mac and cheese is so good! Owners are very nice! Happy we picked this food truck! read more

Big D's - Mac and cheese with sausage peppers and pulled pork! So good - Food Trucks Near Me - Lebanon, Oregon

Pulled off in Albany without a clue where to go. All the restaurant places seemed pretty packed. I found this BBQ spot on yelp and it was the best. Big stuffed pulled pork sandwiches. Real pork chunks in the BBQ beans and really good mac 'n' cheese. I'm a very picky eater so this is a good find for my trips on I-5. Definatly going to stop in again and being more tipping money next time. Delicious 5/5. read more

I don't normally enjoy barbeque food because I'm really not a fan of barbeque sauce, so I was a little hesitant about trying it when my friend found it on yelp. But I'm SO glad I did! It was absolutely delicious! It ended up being $5 Monday when we went and I got the pulled pork Mac and cheese and the pulled pork nachos. They were both really good but especially the macaroni! Huge portions too. Definitely will be going back! read more

Everything I've had has been great! The meats are so tender you don't need to chew them. The smoke flavor is just right. There mikes mac and cheese is also great! Everything is fresh and smoked daily. Most definitely worth it. read more

Big D's - Pulled pork with Mac and cheese with potatoe salad!! The pork was tender the sauce was great. Great meal I'll definitely be back!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Lebanon, Oregon

Again, I seem to miss what Oregonian's taste on what good food is. My husband and I were being lazy and decided to try it after all the great reviews. I was going to get the cheese steak but went with the 8 ounce rib eye with mashed potatoes and buttered corn. My husband went with hamburger with pulled pork. His was a good size burger and I enjoyed the bite I got but my rib eye was a waste of $15.50. The smoke flavoring was on point but needed a little more seasoning but that's my personal preference. What got me was I asked for med rare and I got very well done shriveled little slice of sad meat. Looks like it was forgotten about when it was being seared on one side then quickly seared on the other, resulting in this slice to be over cooked. The mashed potatoes taste like it's half real and half instant mixed with drippings and the buttered corn was flavorless, tough, and probably previously frozen with just butter with no salt. I was disappointed to spend that much on an ok meal that I just picked at while being left hungry and will probably feed to my son later while my husband for only $9 got a good burger. We also tried the smoked mac and cheese and it was bloated noodles with grainy milk bits. The noodles must of not been properly drained before being made because it was a ball of mushy flavorless noodles that even my husband who likes kraft ended up throwing it away after one bit. I would give more like a 2 1/2 star because the burger was on point. My husband says smoked meat is good but it needs to be properly seasoned and he's an Oregonian that used to have bland taste buds too. read more

Powerful stuff, hits you good. Flavor kills everything else in the sub! What an experience! ..you won't forget.. We're talking about how feel now a half hour later, it's something else! read more

Wife had the PP sandwich and loved it. I prefer it a little less wet, but it was good. I had the ribs. Pretty good, but it had a bit of a strong smoke aftertaste. I chose the beans which were good. They even had real pulled pork in them. Potato salad was tasty. Better than any other restaurant I've had. The real gem was the tacodillas. Sauce on them was great. I'd go there for just them. read more

Absolutely amazing BBQ food. We had the pulled pork and the beef sandwiches and they were phenomenal. The owners are super nice, approachable and kind. Highly recommend coming here! read more

For someone living a low carb lifestyle it's very difficult to find fast options in Albany. This is where Big D's comes in - they are amazing and have loads of low carb options! The best is the naked ribs since they use no sugar in their rub! I absolutely recommend them to everyone, low carb or not! read more

Stopped and got brunch. Got the pit steak omelette . Potato's were just that no seasoning not even any texture. Same with the eggs and the peppers and the steaks and the steak was tuff. Could hardly cut it with a knife. We also got the pit Benedict that was better but still pretty disappointing. The gravy was decent but the biscuits felt store bought and the Sauce was just bland. First and only time I've been and sadly it was bad enough that I wouldn't be willing to say maybe they are having a off day. Becuase everthkng was just so bland. It really lacked on flavor. read more

Super good food! Cute set up! Friendly owners! The only down fall is it's in a hard stop to see but that's okay because it's nice and tuck away from the traffic, making it a nice atmosphere to set out at the tables and eat. read more

When Big D says "full rack" o ribs... he means it!!! 2 full containers of meat! We rode by w friends last summer-- the guys were hungry, so we turned around and ordered up. It was good. Which is why when we drove by 15 minutes ago, we turned around again. Hubby LOVES BBQ. Well, come to find out, this is a new guy and a new truck. So, we ordered the full rack (all sides are homemade) with potato salad (very fresh-- very dilly) and BBQ beans. I'm not a fan of the beans-- generally too sweet for me, but my honey love 'em, so we ordered up. The beans are SAVORY and so packed full of meat, I thought it was actually chili (which I love)-- so WIN-WIN!! The beans are very very very good// YUM!!! Lastly, because I don't always want to share ribs with my hubby, I ordered one of the specials: The Tater Piglet! A baked tater w a heaping helping of pulled pork, a smattering of BBQ sauce (NOT BLAND, TOMATO SAUCEY OR CLOYINGLY SWEET, but a hint of sweet w nice, easy flavors-- my hubby asked for more) and a dollop of sour cream for $5!!!!! Yessssss!!! Kudos to food truck owners/workers. We will come back again next trip north from Eugene. Nice guy! read more

Amazing food, great portions and I love everything that I try. Very well priced. I don't even like macaroni and cheese but somehow I love it. read more

Big D's - The Tater Pig. Pulled pork on top of a baked potato with cheese and sour cream. - Food Trucks Near Me - Lebanon, Oregon

Soft and tender beef, hot and yummy Mac and cheese. This place is behind a liquor store but is a diamond in the ruff.

By far, the best BBQ I have ever had in the state of Oregon. And so nice and friendly...

This place has the best bbq I have ever tried! My husband and I took a trip to Texas and because we love bbq so much we went to a few bbq joints there... we asked the locals where the best places were and tried them. They were all pretty amazing but none could hold a candle to Smokin D's in little old Albany Oregon! I was glad to get back so I could eat some of the best bbq ever :) read more

Amazing! Holy yummy is that green chili Mac and cheese amazing (and a good side dish for the family). The breakfast chicken fried steak dish had my boyfriend almost in tears. I ate the potatoes out of the dish and thought they were amazing. We will be coming back for more! The hours are pretty much the weekend and in the afternoon. read more

I was in Albany for the first time from LA. I yelped good BBQ and this place was in the top 5. I decided on this place and was not disappointed. There was 5 of us so we got a wide variety of food and we all shared. Slaw, potatoe salad, ribs, brisket on eggs Benedict, and the piggy breakfast burrito. They were all delicious! The first 3 items are the usual things on a BBQ menu but we're cooked to perfection. The Benedict and burrito was more of what I would call a fusion style. I like how they incorporated their BBQ in regular breakfast food plates. The Benedict was served on a biscuit layered with brisket poached eggs and their own country gravy. It was different for sure but it was tasty. The breakfast burrito was also incorporating their BBQ. Forgive me I can't remember everything in it but Very good all the way around. read more

This is easily the best BBQ around. Their brisket, pulled pork, and ribs are absolutely fantastic Everything is so flavorful, smoky and perfect I can't imagine anything better! Their Sunday brunch is delicious as well! I had the breakfast burrito today and it was unbelievable. The pork was smoky and moist, the eggs and hashbrowns were cooked perfectly and it came with a flavorful crema with took it to a perfect 10. I have recommended this place to many people and everybody has been blown away by this place. I will continue to eat here and recommend it because it can't be beat! read more

Big D's Smokin' Q are putting out some of the best bbq locally; hands down. In a world of generalized bbq joints, Big D's separates themselves from the norm by offering slow and low smoked meats, mainly pork and chicken by being outside the box from the wood they use to their unique flavor profiles. It's hard to find great bbq where you actually taste the meat and the smoke is treated as an ingredient and this couple delivers consistently. If you're looking for brisket, make sure to check their social media for daily updates to see if it's being offered that day. Sure they have the classics, like pulled pork sandwiches and rib plates, but they offer fun and incredibly flavorful twists on other classic sandwiches like their versions of a smoked Cubano to Philly Cheesesteaks (available with either pulled pork or steak). And with an amazing brunch menu that pulls influences that resonate SW flavors, their Q expresses just how personal and heartfelt they approach their food. And for the most part, their menu is Gluten-Free. Tucked away behind a liquor store and Latin market off Santiam Road in Albany makes this place a hidden gem. So the next time you're looking for amazing Q and great people serving it up, swing by Big D's. read more

I just expected more. The brisket was luke warm at best. Wasn't that smoked. Seemed more oven cooked than smoker cooked. The chicken was terribly dry. The sauce was ok. The tater salad and baked beans were like everyone else's. There literally was nothing that stood out from other BBQ shacks. read more

I had the pulled pork sandwich with mac side. Very tasty, good smoky flavor. Mac n cheese tastes homemade with fresh ingredients! I will be back! read more

Thanks for the great lunch! The beans were awesome and my husband loved the sauce on the ribs. My pulled pork sandwich was delicious. Very friendly and accommodating. We will be back. read more

Smoked pork burger. Damn good. My only "complaint", its way too big to eat as a burger. Definitely need to use the provided fork. Will be back next time I feel the urge for smokey goodness. read more

Super nice couple serving up very tasty food. Their bbq sause is more of a favorful spicy tangy citricy experiance then just a plain old whiskey/honey/and some kind of chili or jalapeno mix. It compliments the flavor of the meat and is very tasty just on its own. My 2yo loves to dip his nugets in it. 5$ mondays are a must and get the mac and cheese. They use to serve a tri tip sandwich but i think they dont anymore, shame. But they still offer a tritip steak. read more

OBC has nothing on these guys!!!! Co-worker and myself tried it for the first time today and it was outstanding.. tried the tri tip and ribs with some Mac and slaw. The amount of food you get for the money is also a steal... Finally some authentic wood fired goodness in Albany. Looking forward to trying the brisket next time 45 minutes after opening they were sold out today and reserving for Monday which tells me I won't be disappointed. read more

Son took me here for Father's Day. Well, the day after so we could miss the crowd. Really, really, really good BBQ. We each had a kind of burger I guess. 1/2 lb burger with another 1/2 lb of pulled pork on top. The pork was great but the beef was overcooked. It probably doesn't enough fat in it . Sure, lean beef sounds good. But you need some fat in there to keep you ground beef from fusing into a mass of indigestible beef. So, put some fat into the mix and don't cook it too long. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu. read more
