Alright so I heard good things about this cart already! So I decided to go have lunch with my daughter and check it out! When we got there I instantly felt like I was at a backyard bbq! I could see the big smoker yo the left and the smells coming from it. Oh lorddddddd! So good. We ended trying the chicken wings w fries and a few pieces of fish! So let's just say the size of the fish was delightful. Fried perfectly crispy on the outside and still flaky on the inside! Super yummy and light. The wings.... okay so they are the party wings but they batter them and season so there nice and crunchy yet still can taste that chicken! Lol Let's just say. I have so much more to try and his menu. Shout to the guys cooking up this Soul Food! You've shot something good! I appreciate you!!!!! Plus not having to cook all that and still eat it wonderful!! See you in a few days! I need some ribs in my life!

Yes yes yes.

Holy. Shit. Yes. This placeeeeee. We got the rib combo with fish and everything was EXCELLENT. I want to bathe in that bbq sauce. Amazing. We will definitely be back (like... tomorrow).

Hush puppy perfection

Went in search of a cold beverage after wandering the reclaimed construction spot next door. Tempted by the hush puppies, one of my husband's favorite foods. Ohmygosh they were so good, we went back for two more orders! Will definitely be back here, can't imagine how good the rest of his food is! Not to mention, excellent service. They cater, too!

These were the best wings I've ever had!! I wish we took a picture of the rib sandwich that my partner got, cause that was delicious too. So so good!! Perfectly crisp breading on the wings the rib was perfectly smokey too

Chef Fain is amazing! I was so excited to stop at this food truck I had to extend my stay in Portland one more day and it was worth it. I've never tried Georgia style southern food and every bite was perfect. Whether you live here or are just visiting, you have got to eat at Southern Kitchen Pdx. Thank you Chef Fain for sharing your delicious food with the world!

Yams, greens, Mac n cheese and fish. My moms corn bread. Will be back.

Potato salad was different I didn't eat it. The fish was ok. The greens, Mac and cheese and yams were good. The portions are small. Flavor was good. There aren't any cornbread but cornbread hush puppies. Yes, just cause it says cornbread there is still a difference in tastes. I will be back for the ribs next. My husband sd it was good. In the pic my mom made her own cornbread lol.

Fish'n chips

They have the worst fish I've ever had. Tastes like sh** smells like sh**Do not waste your money here.

Great food, great prices, great service. What more could you ask for? I ate my Basa fish fillet dinner before I could take a picture of it. I'll make up for that later. For now, enjoy chopped rib sandwich. Plenty of meat, plenty of smokey flavor and the potato salad is pretty damn good. Taste like your favorite Aunt made it.

The ribs are pretty good next time minus the mustard sauce. The sides were ok. Next time I'll get all ribs no sauce and hold the sides

Shrimp and Grits: 10/10 -- it's perfect for two people to share, highly recommended because I was not able to finish it. Hushpuppies: 9/10 -- it would be nice if they're nicely fried, it's perfect for two people to split 6 into 3. Fried Pickles: 10/10 -- These were perfectly crispy but definitely for sharing. Fried Catfish Plate with Mashers and Mac and Cheese as sides: 10/10 -- I do wish the portion of catfish was a little bigger, the mac and mash were delicious. You would enjoy your meal, you won't regret it. :)

The entire menu looked delicious so we had a hard time choosing what to try. Just means we have to go back. I really appreciated we were told what they had run out of as we were given the menus. We tried the Shrimp and Grits and Country Fried Steak. The seasoning on everything was spot on. Service was quick and friendly. If you have a hankering for some delicious southern inspired food this is a must try. Can't wait to go back and experience the BBQ.

The Brisket is so tender and juicy (a little fatty but that's okay) the flavor is just divine. The cornbread was FIRE! Compliments the meal perfectly!! The Mac was amazing the right amount of cheese seasoned to perfection I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal. The service was great and the food is cooked very freshly so it is a bit of a wait when you order but it's sooo worth it.

I just can't say it now." Times have changed! I haven't had a BBQ brisket in years. I tried it here and although a little small in portion it had a rich flavor, very tender, and respectable sauce. However, it was uniform in color, no apparent smoke ring, and thinly sliced. The service was especially attentive and friendly. The time to serve the food was perhaps a little slow at a time then the place was maybe 1/4 full of customers.

It's called Reo's Ribs because they are really good at making ribs. The meat was so tender and…read moreseasoned perfectly and there was a generous amount of meat on the bone. The sauce is making my mouth water just thinking about it. Five stars for the ribs. Excellent. I was a little surprised at the price as I ordered at the register, but I did get two pretty generous sides with it. And I was happy I got to sit inside to eat it in their small casual seating area. Get the skillet corn. Expertly cooked (not mushy) and the flavor was *chef's kiss* I'm considering getting a big side of it to Thanksgiving dinner. I am a bit of a macaroni and cheese connoisseur. I have organized tastings and repeatedly announced that it is my favorite meal, deserted island meal, last prison meal... I'm still processing my thoughts on the mac and cheese here. I didn't like the flavor or texture, but I do think it's a personal preference so maybe it's your thing. Next time I'll try peach cobbler... wait that sounds delicious! Maybe I'll go right now...

My work brought Reo's for lunch last week. We had the chicken, brisket, yams, and greens. I kind of…read morehad hoped they'd get the mac and cheese but its okay. It was on time and I appreciate that with catering. The food came in pretty standard aluminum trays but everything was good. The meat was good and the chicken was actually my favorite which was surprising to me, the collard greens were a little extra salty, and the yams were sweet. Honestly I liked all of it, I overate and spent the next hour absolutely useless at work (if my boss reads this please know I worked very hard anyway). Everyone on the team seemed happy and enjoyed the food and it was big portions so we never ran out. We also got the cornbread which I had to literally wait and go get as a second once I cleared some room on my plate. The cornbread was a tad bit dense for my liking but overall very good. Absolutely better than pizza for a team lunch.

The food choices made it hard to make a selection. Due to my limited options of foods I can eat I went with the oxtail starter and dinner with the crawfish étouffée. My husband got the blackened salmon with a side of greens and Mac n Cheese. My guest went with the surf and turf pasta. One had brisket and the other got chicken with shrimp. The food was good but got cold really quickly. It's hidden in a neighbor and a must try if you're in the area. The atmosphere is welcoming and great for groups.

Out with the kid for dinner before her big day...... they enjoyed the Oxtails (1 jerk and 1 smoothered), collard greens mix veggie, and beans & Rice. They finished their entire plate!!! I asked for chicken and shrimp Cajun plate. Welp, no chicken available, so I was offered brisket. Asked for honey butter cornbread, yup not available. Before I ordered, I asked for the Cajun sauce to be removed. I was advised it has little kick but not spicy. Let's just say it was a dish I couldn't enjoy or eat. I ate 2 noodles and needed an entire cup of water. I ate the shrimp and a few penne pasta noodles and a few cubes of meat. I ordered the fried shrimp from the picture on Google review. Let me just say what I got served looks as if the grease needed to be changed. They came out grayish, and I know it wasn't seasoning. They saw it didn't look right but served it to me anyway. I would not recommend it. I wasn't impressed with the food. The vibe was off. I didn't feel welcomed when we entered the location. And we were the ONLY paying folks seated in the restaurant. Total disappointment! The restroom are shared with other businesses attached to the location at the rear.
