Build-Your-Mac with Smoked Chicken
Mariah K.

My husband and I came to tour a place in this area and thought we should grab some food that would suit having the dogs with us. We are food cart fans, and even bigger Mac n' Cheese fans, so, we saw this place on Google and it was no question! Customer service was awesome - we arrived right at 11 opening time, they were happy to answer my questions about products and super friendly, and that sweet charm you like that makes you feel welcome and familiar. It's sat in the parking lot of the gas station so it was easy to get a parking spot and we grabbed some gatorades in the station. My husband and I did the build your own macs and both got 2lb portions (for leftovers, and there will definitely be some!) and I chose the Fried Thigh (it is boneless) and he got smoked chicken. The Fried Thigh was moist and flavorful all on its own and tastes incredible. If we're eating at home with a knife that would make it slightly easier but being so moist and well cooked made it easier for me to just shred the size bites I want. The Smoked Chicken was very Smokey and tasted very good, and soft! The Mac itself is MOIST. Noodles cooked to perfection without being overly cooked. I, personally, can't stand a soggy noodle. Props to them for mastering firm noodles that can handle all that yummy sauce! The sauce is a 5 cheese blend they said, and it was seasoned to the max. I was so, so impressed. We only drove down the road to a park but I can promise you this mac would travel well because the sauce is creamy. You know when you get a Mac and it just turns into a coagulated brick? Yeah, not this. This is AMAZING. I cannot say enough good words about our meals as someone who moved here to the PNW from the south with some of the best food and real seasoning, I feel I'm missing something often times here. The Mac is going to be a consistent stop for us now, and worth driving from Vancouver!! Thank you guys! Keep up what you're doing!

First time ordering food at The Mac was great! The Service was amazing, the owner recommended me the 9pc wings with Mac! Man! The Mac was so cheesy and creamy and them wings!!! Crunchy and flavorful! I highly recommend this joint!

1/4 smoked chicken combo with mac & drink. Added a side of popcorn chicken.
Kyleigh P.

Finally stopped here after driving past every day! The online order ahead is very easy to navigate. Service was great, amazing flavors and the chicken was smoked to perfection. Support local & eat here!

Had the Bacon Mac and it was so good!
Sara Y.

Tried the Mac and even through it was a little pricy, it was really good! My son had the chicken sandwich and it was a huge piece of meat. My husband ordered a double burger plain and it was outstanding and impressive. I ordered the Mac with bacon and I intended to only eat half but I couldn't stop. It was creamy and super good. We will definitely have it again! There isn't any outdoor seating so we ate in our car. The employees also were kind enough to bring the food out to the car since it was a 15 minute wait, which was nice.

Popcorn chicken with honey garlic sauce
Dan M.

Brought the family by to pick up some takeout for lunch and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the portions were substantial. The popcorn chicken was super crunchy but most and perfectly balanced. The Mac was as good as it gets in my opinion. We collectively ate only about half of the food and we were all stuffed. The guys working were super friendly... good vibes all around.Highly recommend!!!

Mac with lobster tails
Evelyn S.

It looks better than it tastes. I wouldn't mind the expense if it tasted as good as it looked. The person working the cart was difficult and disinterested in helping me until I added lobster tails. Then it was like a switch went on and he was suddenly nice. Nice idea, nice presentation, but missed out on flavor.

Loaded bacon fries, honey sriracha wings, smoked chicken jalapeño mac

You must try out the Mac! Guy who runs the truck rocks and the food would be my death row meal if it came down to it!!!

the menu of the food truck
Anthony A.

I decided to give them a try since I drive past so often. There is always someone there byung so I figured the all those people couldn't be wrong. I was right!! The chicken was some of the best smoked chicken I have ever had in my life. The smoke flavor was deep. into the meat! Every bite tasted as good as the first. It's takes great skill to smoke low and slow, and especially on a fire. These guys rocked it! The macaroni was smoked and flavory. I think the macaroni had some gouda cheese in it with other cheeses. I'm not 100% sure. It was in the top 5 macs I've had in my life. These guys are doing wonders with their smoker! I vote give them a try!

1lb serving of Mac N' Cheese with popcorn chicken, jalapeños, and panko bread crumbs as toppings
Josiah L.

So I'm just here to say that the Mac n' cheese here is life changing lol, the popcorn chicken was perfectly crispy, juicy, a perfect complement to the creamy mac (with bread crumbs and jalapeños). Yep, I can't ever go back to eating mediocre Mac n cheese this was way too good (and the portion size is humongous)! It's a bit pricey, but like anything in life you get what you pay for and damn this was totally worth it!!!!! Also the employee working at the food truck was very friendly and genial! Will come back again and bring family/friends.

The OG mac with bacon and a fried egg. You're welcome
Catherine L.

I trekked here on Juneteenth as an attempt to support a Black business. I was so happy that I did! Although the wait was quite long, I imagine me going right at dinner time and on Juneteenth when others may have been thinking the same thing as I might have impacted the wait time. I don't know enough to speak on regular wait times. Let me speak on what I can speak on though, and that is the fact that this was one of the best Mac & cheese I've had in my three decades on this earth. Highly recommend the OG mac with bacon and fried egg as extras. Shout out to whoever's review had suggested this. The combination of whatever cheeses they used were very flavorful. I had hoped to try the smoked chicken and spuds, unfortunately they were sold out. The fried chicken was however a good alternative- moist on the inside, crispy on the outside. Would definitely come again to try the rest of the menu.

Three thighs. OG Mac and Cheese and Ruby red squirt.
Scott H.

So apparently the sliders are out which was my favorite part. However 99 traffic has reenergized my love of the fried chicken thighs. Every other time I get them I'm in a hurry so they are flaking hot. However this time after a good 30 minute rest home they were perfect. Hard for me to turn these down

Food

Superb Mac and cheese and great smoked chicken combined with it. My only complaint is there is no seating whatsoever so if you don't have a car you're kinda screwed. The employee was super nice and welcoming. Great place I will be returning to try the other items/house made lemonade.

OG Mac and Cheese with popcorn chicken. Side of Buffalo sauce.
Karen O.

It's black-owned restaurant week, so I ordered online and headed over. The Mac and cheese features smoked Gouda, Parmesan, and sharp cheddar. You can order it with something like 27 additions--I chose popcorn chicken. The chicken was crispy and perfectly cooked. I added Buffalo sauce (ordered on the side) as I ate it--a little on the Mac and a little on the chicken! The portions were HUGE and I am stuffed--with plenty leftover for another meal or two. I ordered online and my food was ready as promised (and exactly as requested). It was well-packaged and the friendly guy there provided napkins and a fork. I'll be back!

Can Hapa Howie move into your food cart pod?

When we went earlier this evening, no employees were seen wearing masks. Is this a typical practice?

They didn't have masks on when I went today. They were very rude too.

To be honest, when our plans to go bowling and have lunch at Big Al's today fell through because…read morethey didn't open till 3, but we still wanted to eat (and hadn't had breakfast yet at 1:30), I tried every option I could think of to not go to Bannings. When we moved to Oregon, it was under construction but we kept hearing how good it was - in fact, all the local FB pages would gush about it when a newcomer would ask about the best restaurant. And once it finally opened, we tried it, but it was kind of like Marie calendars and Shari's, but local. Ok, but not what we had expected for all the hype. So, after trying a handful of options it seemed Bannings was the only place we could still get breakfast so I begrudgingly agreed. Well, I was mistaken! I got the breakfast enchiladas and a strawberry orange mimosa. Now, the mimosa - I'll get that out of the way first. It was weird - it looked curdled. It just had mashed strawberry at the bottom and it actually was quite good. I'd do a normal mimosa in the future, but good. But the enchiladas - delicious. Like, I'll come back again and again for those. And they didn't charge me extra for the avocado, which I think is righteous because I asked for no hash browns. But not all places would do that, they'd nickel and dime even if you passed on one side for another. Additionally; my husband likes a savory breakfast and a sweet one too - so he often gets two breakfasts and though he may not eat all of both he gets that savory and sweet. Well, the omelettes come with 3 pancakes. Perfection. And, I took 3 bites of them - I usually might try 1 or not at all - they are very very good. Last - it did not break the bank. I've about ruled out breakfast out because of how crazy expensive the places that should be reasonable are. This was reasonable - PLEASE DONT CHANGE!! All in all 5 stars, will be back for breakfast; and hey - when I'm wrong I can admit I was wrong! Give them a try if you haven't!

My parents seem content with their food. Mine came out really cheesy, almost overly. For context, I…read morehad ordered a cup of the chicken and broccoli soup and the chicken marsala (both had a lot of cheese). Service here was really good as the waiter was really attentive and fast. Food also came around pretty quickly as well. Ambiance here isn't too loud, so that was nice. They have some light tunes in the background. One small thing that was fixed was a spoon that was on our place setting that was dirty from the get go. The waiter promptly replaced it for us. Excited to come back for the pumpkin pie next time.

Good, but not great!…read more Previously I'd come in for the Santa Fe Chicken Panini which has now been discontinued. :( I got the replacement which is blackened chicken sandwich; I miss the santa fe chicken panini because the chicken was more evenly spread out over the whole sandwich and I found it more filling. The only plus side was that the caesar salad was good and filled the rest of my hunger. The service also seemed to get a little better, as the staff introduced themselves by name, which I appreciated and don't recall experiencing during my previous visits.

​My go-to spot for a delicious and comfortable meal!…read more ​I am a regular at the Nordstrom Marketplace Cafe (2F), and it consistently delivers a wonderful experience. Whether you're a solo diner or with family, the layout is excellent--I love the cozy 2-person side tables when I'm by myself, and they have great booth seating for groups. The atmosphere is bright, clean, and very welcoming. ​During my recent stay in Tigard, I enjoyed: * ​Spicy Wild Shrimp Pomodoro: Perfectly seasoned and delicious. * ​Penne Bolognese & Chicken Meatballs: They offer gluten-free penne, which is a huge plus! The texture and flavor were spot on. * ​Cilantro Lime Salad & Roma Tomato Basil Soup: A fresh, comforting, and reliable choice. * ​Hot Mint Tea: The perfect way to round out the meal. ​What truly sets this place apart is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly and professional--the kind of service that makes you want to leave a generous tip and keep coming back. ### A few tips for your visit: ​Beat the Crowd: It gets very busy during weekend lunch hours, and takeout orders can take some time. If you're like me and prefer not to wait, order online in advance! It's a major time-saver. ​Parking: Since it's located at Washington Square Mall, there is plenty of parking available, though it fills up fast on weekends. ​Highly recommended for a high-quality, reliable, and friendly dining experience!

Yes, there were majestic favorites that set the standard for burritos but lately the PNW spots are def on the come up. There are awesome places in PDX..at least 3 I can think of....but why would I go there when I live so close to Taqueria 7 Estrellas??? I started with Burrito Loco and after a bit of a break, I went back to enjoy a Burrito Loco to really close out my January 2026. This is definitely the biggest of the best burrito options, but again , it's not stuffed w cheap filler and the al pastor, chicken and beef just set it off. For me it's 2 meals, and a great price at $13. What hits for me is the homemade feel. It really tastes like abuela made it w love. Nearby Sanchez won for best taqueria in greater PDX, and don't get me wrong , they deliver on their hype but honestly I prefer here. The food is just as good and the man that works here is much nicer. Estrellas 4 Eva
