First time at Paper Plate BBQ. I wanted some brisket. Ordered a half pound to go. Staff was ok, not great... I found them a bit less than friendly, or so it seemed. Brisket was ok... it was very fatty, not well trimmed prior to the cook. I like fatty moist brisket, but for the price... a better trim, more meat... would have been nice (see attached photo) It did have a nice smokey flavor... and I might eat there again. read more

Paper Plate BBQ - Brisket, with included pickles, onion and a slice of bread - Brisket was basically half fat as you can see - A barbecue plate contains sliced brisket with a pink smoke ring and visible fat, garnished with sliced pickles, raw onion rings, and sliced white onions. A slice of white bread is placed in a separate compartment of the black plastic container. The meal is set on a wooden surface, typical of a casual barbecue setting. - Barbeque Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Brisket was good, black beans were tasty, but were somewhat "al dente.", and a bit salty. I was bummed that since they relocated to another place, they apparently cannot make their mac & cheese, so I was bummed out about not being able to get mac & cheese from them. I had the pork rib burger. I guess you could call that... And it was tasty, but it was way overloaded with barbecue sauce, which made it a very messy sandwich. Granted, I went there on a Sunday and there was no smoke Masters there, only two twenty-year-old gals that were manning the ship. I think they were there just to portion out things and throw them on a plate and ring up the customer for whatever it cost. It almost seemed like I was going to a fast food joint and everything was pre-cooked. Things seem different since they moved over from the cold fire location read more

Good bbq, kind of on the salty side and expensive but otherwise really enjoyable. Coleslaw was really flavorful, pulled pork was my favorite of the assortment of meats we ordered. We definitely over ordered wanting to try a number of meats (there's no mixed plate) so we ended up with leftovers and a $71 meal for two. Three meats two sides. I'd have rather had the option for a small amount of 2-3 meat options and a side but everything is sold separately. Next time just pulled pork and a side of coleslaw. read more

Paper Plate BBQ - An assortment of the 1/2 lb meats, beans, and coleslaw. Plus a delicious Fort George IPA from Play. - A tray of Texas-style barbecue meats, including sliced brisket and ribs, is presented with sliced bread, pickles, and onion rings. Two small containers hold baked beans and coleslaw, garnished with chopped nuts and green peppers. A glass of beer with a foamy head is placed behind the tray, all set on a weathered wooden table, suggesting an outdoor dining setting at a barbecue restaurant or brewery. - Barbeque Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Wish I could've tried the food but apparently they don't make enough to last until closing time and if you ask about that they rudely ignore you until you leave. Saddest part is they, inadvertently and unnecessarily, reflected incredibly poorly upon the entire PLAY facility. One bad apple can spoil the bunch. read more

Yummmyyy. Paper Plate BBQ was so delicious. I can't stop thinking about how good their barbecue was. We got the ribs, pulled pork, beans with brisket, and cornbread. There is also complimentary white bread, pickled onions, and pickles. Paper Plate is a food truck, but there is outdoor seating as well as indoor seating at PLAY Eugene. read more

Paper Plate BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Great - totally solid Texas-style BBQ, though not competing with the best of them down there. That is a high bar few can clear. But absolutely delicious and the best I've had in Oregon! I'm a former Houston resident and felt completely happy with what we ordered. One edge of the brisket was a bit dry, so that let me down a bit. But damn that cornbread.......hooooo. Couldn't get enough. The sauces are delicious and pair well with the plates. I'll come back when the fancy strikes. read more

Food truckish establishment. Co-located with Coldfire Brewery. Picnic bench seating. In the parking lot. Covered and lit. You order at the counter then find a seat. You get a pager to notify you when your order is ready. There was no seating available, so ordered it to go. I got the BBQ Brisket Sandwich $18. First impression just by looking at the menu board...overpriced mediocre sandwich from a food truck.... WRONG WRONG WRONG... the sandwich is worth $18. Good size sandwich, loaded with chunks of brisket. Tender perfectly cooked. Sweet tangy sauce...messy...thats what I expected. The only 2 negatives... lack of seating and the wait to pick up order. On a Tuesday night, order placed at 606PM, received at 633PM. read more

What a great find. Excellent ribs and tacos. The beans are amazing and the cornbread is almost cake like. Love it sets right next to Play Eugene so I could get a beer to go with the meal. We will be back. read more

Paper Plate is hands-down one of the best food truck experiences I've had. This was actually my second trip to Eugene just to try their food, and it was absolutely worth the journey. Although the barbecue meats weren't fully ready when I arrived, bossman still took a piece of brisket that was in the smoker, cut it up, and let me try it. It was already so good--even though he would've cooked it longer--that it made the trip completely worth it. The barbecue is insanely delicious--smoky, tender, and clearly crafted with care. I didn't get to try the tea-brined turkey myself, but I was told all about its lemony, unique flavor profile. It sounded so good that now I have to go back and try it next time. I ordered the pork belly breakfast burrito and was not prepared for the size of this thing--absolutely enormous and packed with flavor. The shredded potato inside instead of traditional hash browns was such a clever move, adding texture without being greasy. The tomatillo-based salsa deserves its own shoutout. Bright, zesty, creative, and with just the right kick. And the homemade barbecue-meets-hot-sauce creation? Absolute genius. It's the kind of sauce you wish they bottled so you could take it home. And then... the whiskey caramel-covered cinnamon roll. Soft, warm, and drenched in a rich caramel sauce, topped with chunks of apple that added the perfect sweet-tart bite. Truly one of the best cinnamon rolls I've had, period. Paper Plate is creative, flavorful, and clearly run by someone who takes their craft seriously. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out. Highly recommend!!! read more

The brisket, pulled pork and sausage is so delicious and the baked beans and cornbread are really special! 10/10

We ordered catering from Paper Plate for a birthday party. Not only was the food amazing, but the thoughtful packaging of utensils gave us everything we needed to have ZERO worries, unbelievable food. Their customer service was also wonderful to work with regarding the booking and my mistake with the pickup date. I would work with them on any event, as they made it so easy. I actually got to enjoy the evening, and my friends are still raving about the food. read more

Cornbread muffin with honey butter is like dessert, it was so good! Carnivore beans - Meaty and creamy, absolutely delicious. Brisket - Perfectly smoked, it nearly melts when you pull it apart. Great portion size for the cost, we left very full. read more

Food is delicious and the customer service is incredible. I've eaten here many times but wanted to leave a review because of my most recent experience. My office ordered from Paper Plate for lunch and after getting the food back to the office, turns out a couple sides were accidentally left out. I gave a call to see what could be done about it. Instead of just refunding the difference, they hand delivered the sides to us. If that doesn't scream 100% customer service, I'm not sure what does. I will continue to eat here and recommend anyone interested in good BBQ to do the same. *photo from a different day* read more

Paper Plate BBQ - Brisket, Mac and Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I am not a bbq fanatic but my husband is and scouted out this place on our recent trip. I must say, it was very good! I gravitate towards pulled pork, which was flavorful but standard. The ribs and fatty brisket were outstanding though! Fall off the bone tender ribs and delicious tender fatty brisket. For sides we tried the queso mac (amazing), and coleslaw and pickles (both solid). Four star not a five star meal for me because none of the sauces blew me away. Sweet was a bit too sweet, spicy profile threw me off (too much pepper??), and the yellow one was a bit too unusual but it did taste interesting (tangy??) Employees were friendly, good came out fast, and loved that you could sit outside or inside the Nextdoor brewery and grab a beer (which I did, Czech Pilsner and it was very refreshing on a hot day). read more

Food truck outside Cold Fire Brewing. The brisket was out of this world! Any bbq tends to be a bit pricey but worth it. Potatoes were awesome, wife's chicken Sandi was messy but good. Go for the BBQ stay for a beer. Would def recommend. I don't like topping full price without full service just saying.... read more

I've wanted to try this place for sometime now. The food always smells so good! My Aunt wanted ribs so, we tried this bbq spot. Yum! My Aunt loved her ribs! I was going to try the citrus chicken but, I didn't get there in time. They were sold out. I tried their nap time nachos and yum! So good and such a wonderful blend of tastes! From the meat, cheeses and the cornbread crumble. Trust me lots of food and I was very ready for a nap. I will be back for sure to try some briskets and their sdiesc sound so good! As I was eating I was watching them putting tray after tray of food together, just assumed it was for a party. I overheard another customer say they were feeding the firefighters. What an awesome thing to do and I most definitely will be supporting them! Good job to support the community and those risking their lives during this fire season! read more

The smokiness of the brisket and tanginess of the pickled onions wove the Brisket Taco together perfectly. Added some spicy BBQ sauce on top, and voila! Paired it with their unique cheesy potato casserole--Taters Gratinadas. Hit the spot on a partly rainy, partly sunny Friday afternoon in Eugene. Merci! read more

Amazing BBQ and excellent catering services. I hosted an event recently outside of Eugene and the Paper Plate team was more than happy to deliver their tasty BBQ to my family event. The catering team was responsive and helpful, delivery was on the mark, and set-up exceeded my expectation. Plus, the house pickles were to die for. Super satisfied with their work and look forward to having their BBQ again soon. read more

This is my third time at Paper Plate. I enjoy the flavor of their meats and the menu offerings. Their sandwiches are loaded with meat and are pretty tasty. Today, instead of a sandwich, I decided to buy 1/2 lb. of brisket to turn into a sandwich when I got home later. Half a lb of their brisket costs $17. That's a bit pricey but I'll splurge once in a while. When I got home and opened the bag. $17 was 3 slices of meat and that's it. I was a bit taken aback about the quantity vs the price. I've purchased 1/2 lb of brisket elsewhere and it wasn't this small. Needless to say if I come back, I will just buy the sandwich and get more meat plus bread. I know we are in an "inflation" era but really? 3 small slices of brisket for almost $20! The flavor was nice though. read more

Paper Plate BBQ - No modifications or substitutions allowed on burgers?!? Yikes! Just no. - Barbeque Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

My mouth waters when I think about this spot. I've lived in Texas have family in the South, I generally have a distaste for BBQ on the West Coast. I've had the best of the best and it usually doesn't compare to gas station BBQ in the south, but Paper Plate goes HARD. Simple, delicious and straight down to bidness BBQ in my opinion. These folks care about what they put out and it shows! As good as all of the classics they serve up the rotating homage sausages are NOT to be ignored! They sell out for reason yall!!! read more

Mac N cheese was okay. Barbecue sandwich was also just okay. Customer service was average. Not super friendly not rude either just not much of a personality. Also because it was so late in the day they ran out of a lot of food. So maybe next time I gotta get there early to try the barbecue ribs or chicken. read more

Outstanding BBQ. Ordered catered for our son's graduation and everyone raved about the dinner. I'm not a huge fan of BBQ, but this was absolutely delicious! read more

A staple experience if you are trying to get decent BBQ in Eugene. Slated to the back side of Coldfire, this food cart brings major flavor to the area. My go to is the brisket with a side of Mac and cornbread muffin. The brisket always has a great bark with and a smoke permeation that sends every bite into overdrive. Don't assume this cart up if you are craving some BBQ. read more

Delicious! That is the first word of this review because that is the best way to describe this food. The ribs were truly fall off the bone. The brisket sandwich was the perfect bread to meat ratio, and the added house pickles on the sandwich was the acidic taste that cut the fat. The brisket was so well cooked even the fatty bits were glorious. The Mac and Cheese was flavorful and had multiple cheeses in the base, I would have liked the base to be a little more creamy and solid, it was a little too liquid for me. The corn bread was delicious and moist in its own, but I wished it had the honey butter on the muffins. We didn't get there close to closing, so it was disappointing not to have that iconic frosted honey butter on top. One of the standouts of the food was the sauces! They had a spicy barbecue, a regular barbecue, and a pickle mustard. They were delicious and we dipped all of the items in them, I would buy bottles of that stuff! The service was quick and good. We could tell they were quite busy, but it only took us about 15 minutes to get all of our food. They were kind at the table, and were apologetic about not having some items. The ambiance of the brewery was okay. It was a very busy weekend so I won't fault them for that. But the tent outside with heaters was nice, and the tables were nice and sturdy. All in all, a great experience! read more

We visited on a Tuesday about 15 mins after they opened and, based on how good the food was, I am surprised there wasn't really a line. We ordered the brisket, spare ribs, pulled pork, mac and coleslaw. Everything was excellent, however, the brisket and ribs stood out. It's an art form to smoke a perfectly tender brisket and only a handful of places around the country seem to be able to pull it off. The pictures were very encouraging, but this experience still exceeded my expectations in a big way. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in Eugene. read more

We hot a pulled sandwich & a brisket sandwich. Both were very good. The neat was juicy & smoked well. We werent crazy about the cole slaw. Lacked flavor. I added the pickle juice from condiments which. My husband really liked the beans. This is a brewery & it has some food trucks arranged in a nice seating area in the back. There is also an area for wine & beer. Nice lunch setting fast service read more

Similar comments as many others -- excellent bbq (in my case, ribs) but speedy. $12 (or $14 including tip) for two ribs (1/2 pound). Is one rib worth $6 or $7? Umm, maybe not on a regular basis. But if you want what is possibly the best bbq rib in town (not tons of serious competition (yeah, I'm talking about you Bill and Tim's)) then bring some cash. That cost was ribs only, no sides. Sides are another matter, addressed by other reviews. Oh, oddly they were out of brisket -- even though it was 15 minutes after they opened. I'm guessing they just didn't make any. If so, then they should have just said so.. Odd to say they were already sold out. I didn't want press them on the subject. Would I get the ribs again? No, because as good as they are I can't justify the cost. If they have brisket though, then I'd do a sandwich or tacos. read more

Texas style BBQ food truck located at coldfire brewing. We ordered 1/2 lb each of brisket and pulled pork, Texas hot links, cornbread, and carnivore beans. The meat was all excellent: tender and flavorful. The barbecue sauces were also good; I think the spicy version could have been spicier but that is the only thing I would have changed. I was expecting that the carnivore beans would be more of a baked beans with chunks of meat in it, but it turned out to be more like refried beans with some small pieces of meat sort of dissolved along with it. Still tasted good just not quite what I was expecting. My partner liked them a lot though. Overall, I would definitely eat here again! read more

I think Paper Plate may be the best BBQ in town. I've been here several times now (and it always pairs nicely with a pint of Coldfire Beer). For BBQ joints, side dishes are as important as the mains, and Paper Plate does NOT disappoint. I've had their brisket (get this, you won't regret it), ribs (go for at least a pound...half a pound is just 1 rib...), and sausage links. Their pulled pork sandwich is also delicious! Next time, I plan on trying their brisket philly cheese. However, the side dishes are where it's at! Cheese curds, cornbread muffins, slaw, beans, mac and cheese, and even their fries are good! Make sure to get an extra side of their honey BBQ aioli though, just to tie everything together. If you can, get there early because there are often long lines and unsurprisingly they sell out of the good stuff! read more

Used PPBQ for our company picnic and not one complaint. We had brisket, pulled pork, chicken, veggie brats, mac and cheese, beans and cornbread...all very tasty, the brisket had just the right amount of fat and it was so tender. They were great to work with, gave them our budget and they made it work...there was plenty of food. read more

We were so hungry that we did not take any pictures at all, but we all really enjoyed the food. Please read why "The carnivorous beans" were a no go for me- I expected more of a baked beans flavor and was excited bc I must admit- I love me some baked beans! However, these beans with pulled pork tasted like my moms Mexican beans- that's a good thing! They even put jalapeños and cheese as a topping. Hella Mexican... I just didn't want that with my barbecue. ‍ Mac n cheese was good! Enjoy those shell pastas for some mac. The brisket was phonomenal! Two people ordered it on its own, and I had the sand which. The pickles were great with the brisket, get the sandwhich and take it a part of you'd like, or order a side of pickles, yum! Pulled pork was loved by my friend. I also enjoyed it, however the pulled pork in the carnivorous beans had a different texture- didn't love the pulled pork in those beans. My friend ate those ribs so fast. I don't even remember what they looked like. Spicy bbq- yay! Reg bbq also good. Best, La Brava read more

Amazing food at a great price! I ordered the brisket tacos, the spicy bbq sauce was delicious

The brisket sandwich is tasty but about double the price it should be considering no sides. I added a Scoop of coleslaw and a can of soda. With tip it was $27! Hole In the Wall bbq has more and better food, actual service, AC and no flies. read more

We hired Paper Plate BBQ for a company dinner at Sweet Cheeks winery and are so HAPPY we did! Isaiah and Nick were super easy to work with from the beginning. They were super flexible (with our many dietary needs) and the charcuterie was AMAZING! It was literally a piece of artwork. We had many people asking who made it and saying how much they enjoyed the house made sausage! Thank you for helping us to have a great event. Keep up the good work! read more

Received my order 50 minutes after placing it. The man working the grill was extremely rude when I walked up and asked after 40 minutes how much longer it would be. They said it was a busy night, although there were never more than 3-4 people in line, and there was no one in line when I placed my order. I rarely feel compelled to leave a bad review. If they would have been apologetic about it I would have had more empathy. BBQ was mediocre. Don't waste your money or time. read more
