    First of all, I had amazing service. Our server, Alex, was very warm, funny, and helpful. He was…read morealso quick and accommodating. The restaurant became busy a few minutes after we came in, but he handled the rush perfectly. The food didn't take long and my only complaint is honestly, I wish the cornbread was served warm. The mac bites were so cheesy and the breading was the right amount of crispy. The ribs themselves were not fatty and the selection of BBQ sauces was perfect--I loved the yellow bottle. The mashed potatoes were perfect as well. I just added a bit of salt and pepper and thought they were delish, they were just chunky enough. I definitely recommend coming here for BBQ that doesn't break the bank.

    This is probably the worst BBQ joint I've ever been to. There were so many issues here I'll just…read morelist the top 4: 1) The service was slow even though there were only 4 people in the whole place. 2) The food was almost certainly at or very near room temperature (unsafe) when they handed me my take-out order. 3) They failed to give me even one correct item from my order but I only discovered this when I got home. I attempted to untie the bag at the restaurant and check the order but the cashier hurried me out of the store instead. 4) I attempted 3 times to contact the management by phone and email and was completely ignored. They dont answer their phone or emails and the voicemail is always full. This place deserves "negative" stars, but since 1 is the lowest option that's what I'm giving them. In summary, avoid this place at all costs unless you are literally starving to death. Even then I recommend you go to McDonald's instead. At least its cheap and consistent. Screw you, Hog Wild!

    The food here is so unique and tasty! It's a super fun theme as well too…read more My boyfriend and I always get the loot fries, they're mega tiny crunchy shoestring fries cooked absolutely perfectly covered in Alabama white sauce, balsamic glaze, green onions, and bacon. I ordered the OG tacos and they were great! The tenders have the perfect ratio of breading to chicken, they're slaw is great which I find hard to come across at most restaurants nowadays as everyone tries to do something weird instead of keeping it classic, sweet, saucy, and crunchy. The buffalo sauce had the perfect amount of heat to it, and the blue cheese really brings the whole thing together. My boyfriend got the Scarface, he's a huge fan of the crack sauce, and the sandwich is huge! Once again perfectly breaded chicken, and A TON of onion rings. So many onion rings he couldn't even finish them all. He loved the slaw (he's super picky about it too). The bread also managed to hold the whole sandwich together which was impressive in itself. The lady who runs the cart (Christina herself possibly?) is super cool and kind. It seems like she's always there working and really cares about the quality of the food coming out which you can totally taste in the food.

    I don't even know what to say. I am a food reviewer and had someone else order my food. Whoever…read moreserved this evening seemed extremely annoyed over everything that was ordered. The attitude was very shocking. There was nobody being kind and when asked for a substitution there was a sigh and eye roll. We were very excited to try this spot, and although the food was good, the female that served us ruined the entire experience. Hope this doesn't happen again for how good their reviews, website, social medias, and food are.

    Happy Valley Food Carts yeah, I might be a little biased... I live here. And to the three of you…read moretrying to triangulate my exact location based on this review relax, it's not that serious. Let's get into it. Right off I-205 and just a short cruise up into Happy Valley, this spot feels like the food cart scene finally put on a clean shirt and got its life together. It's modern, it's polished, and it sits in a neighborhood where you don't feel like you need to keep your head on a swivel. No chaos, no nonsense just good eats and a relaxed vibe. What makes this place stand out? Options. A ridiculous amount of them. This isn't a "hope everyone agrees on tacos" situation. This is a "you get what you want, I get what I want, and we all win" kind of place. I've officially made it my mission few days left to try as many carts as humanly possible. Call it a food tour, call it a personal challenge, call it reckless ambition... I'm doing it anyway. We kicked things off at K-Pop Korean Hawaiian BBQ-because when you roll with a buddy from Hawaii, that's basically law. And let me tell you, it delivers. Bold flavors, solid portions, and that perfect fusion vibe that just works. Honestly, it set the bar high and that's saying something, because every cart here seems to bring their A-game. The setup is dialed in too. Covered seating for those rainy Oregon days, indoor space when winter decides to show up with attitude, and open-air areas when you want to sip a little wine or knock back a cold brew like a civilized adult. Surrounded by trees and mountain views, it almost tricks you into thinking you planned something outdoorsy... when really, you just came to eat. And here's the kicker it's clean. Like, noticeably clean. The carts look new, the area is well kept, and the whole place feels intentional. Not slapped together. Not gritty. This is food carting with standards. If you're local, you already know. If you're passing through, put this at the top of your list. And if you're doing a full-on food truck tour? Start here. Set the tone right. Because trust me after this, when you head back downtown and start dodging zombies and chaos... you'll miss this place real quick.

    Love me some Happy Valley Station!…read more This is like the upscale farmers market of food carts- park your car, enjoy the landscaping, and check it all out. Dog friendly, Kid friendly, 100-year old friendly. Lots of clean and tidy indoor and outdoor cafeteria-style seating to choose from. Carts are covered from the rain, but outside. Beer and Espresso served and paid for inside. Restrooms are accessible and inside. Carts will give you a buzzer to notify you when the order is ready, so you can go walk around or find a seat while you wait. It was very busy this particular day, but no problem, all the carts seemed to be prepared for that! Just a lot of friendly faces who understood we needed to drool over all the menus before arriving somewhere. We landed on Premier Japanese Hibachi and loved all the flavor. Some of the freshest shrimp and yakisoba I have ever had. We also had the grilled shrimp and steak. TIP: don't forget to ask how you want your steak because it is made to order! The sauces on the side were perfect for dipping and sharing. Unfortunately, the portions did feel small for $18 a plate. Also, how to order water with your meal was confusing- another worker said just go inside. Eventually I saw signs that water is free with purchase or $1, but you would think it would be obvious. Overall, Premier Japanese Hibachi and everything else was a hit, 10/10, TY!
