Food Truck Time: Bam Pow Chow @ the Railhawks game…read more I was super excited to try Bam Pow Chow because the menu looked very appetizing. I ordered the Fried Red Tomato Sliders with an avocado sauce and corn relish. This came with 2 sliders for $7, you can add an order of french fries for an additional $2 (if you love waffle fries then you will definitely want to do this). The food tasted great, I would recommend this food truck.

We caught up with Bam Pow Chow and chef Marshall Smith at Compass Rose. The menu had four entrees; Angus beef sliders with grilled Provolone, and chimichurri, pulled pork sliders with tangy apples and scallions, the Big Fish sandwich with a lemon dill ranch and cucumbers and fried red tomato sliders with corn relish and avocado sauce. Sides are separate and options include French fries, corn fritters, mac & cheese with bacon, and onion rings. First off, the menu is well priced and the portions are generous. We ordered the Big Fish sandwich and the Angus sliders, and for sides, the corn fritters, French fries and mac & cheese with bacon. The Big Fish sandwich is a large deep fried filet resting on two slider buns. The deep fry reminds me of fish & chips takeaway in the UK, it's crispy and flavorful, but with cucumber slices and dill ranch. The Angus sliders are topped with chimichurri, cooked really well and full of flavor. They were actually described by my daughter as "incredible." The slider buns are worth mentioning. Not run-of-the-mill buns, they are elevated and worth the carbs. The sides are stars too. The French fries are a mix of white potato and sweet potato, fried crispy and dusted with we guess to be garlic and Parmesan(?). The corn fritters...I hesitated ordering them because if fritters are dry, they're terrible. These were the exact opposite of dry. The corn fritters are moist and cake like, and they were served with a spicy mayo for dipping. Finally, the mac & cheese with bacon. This side is more than a side, and the chopped, fresh bacon crowning it takes it to another level. Overall, we enjoyed every bite. High marks from my crew. We can't wait to see how Bam Pow Chow evolves with Smith at the helm. Don't miss out.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. We asked if the food…read morecontained MSG, and to be fair, the gentleman cooking (who I believe is the owner) did take a moment to check. I ordered the truffle chicken vegetarian dish -- it came out overly acidic, not at all like it came from fresh tomatoes. The cheese wasn't melted, the greens were barely there, and it was basically just bruschetta. My husband tried to speak with the owner about the food, but he was incredibly rude and dismissive -- made no effort to listen or make things right. My husband had ordered the Cuban pork, which came out gray and unappetizing, with unmelted cheese. Portions were also really small for the price. The only positive I can mention is the 99.5 health score -- but honestly, that's not enough to make up for the food or the customer service. After checking, it also makes sense that there haven't been any new reviews on their website since 2019-2020. Strongly recommend avoiding this place.

My fiance and I stopped in for some yummy wings. Never been here before. Jennifer greeted us with a…read moresmile and bubbly attitude. It was very small in there but just enough room for a small party like us. We asked for Dr. pepper and we received them in cans with glasses on the side just in case we wanted them. Then she took our order. I had the Sweet Peach wings and I believe my fiance got the Honey BBQ? It's been a few days so I forgot lol. But that's his favorite flavor. We also got fries on the side. Bro....the wings were SO GOOD! Nice size. We just got six each and that was more than enough paired with the HOT AND CRISPY FRIES. I'm still thinking about them. If I was rich, I'd eat there everyday I swear. We eat out a lot and I can say that Jennifer was theeee SWEETEST server we've ever had. Her personality is so charming ! It was like talking to a good friend. She also speaks Spanish which is great for Spanish-speaking clientele ! We will definitely be back. We spent $40 something dollars plus $10 for the tip. Well worth the price !! Oh! And she also gave us plenty of napkins, wet wipes and complimentary water ! Thankyou for a great first experience Jennifer!

Having said that the brisket is very good it's tender and flavorful and I enjoyed it very much. I got fried okra as a side and it was solid as well. The sauce is here are typical Carolina and therefore vinegar based. Those are usually not my favorite, but these were pretty good. My only complaint would be that they are a little thin, but it is vinegar based and that's kind of given. The meat stands on its own though and does not need the sauce. The sauce does not distract however and are enjoyable.

The woman owner of the business was kind and engaged with the customers in line. For the giveaway we were told that there would be stuffed turkey legs or a chicken wings meal. When I arrived I was given a stuffed turkey wing. I would have preferred the wings meal. The turkey wing was stuffed with Mac, greens, & sweet potatoes. The sides were good but compared to the amount of meat on the turkey wing the amount provided was small. The meat was tender. I would come back and try the wings or other food items.

I was afraid of being disappointed so for my 1st order had 6pack wings cooked well done and flavored with garlic parm and crinkle fries. They crunchy celery went well with the blue cheese.

I also got additional garlic parm on side which I didn't even need to use. These wings were smashing, perfectly seasoned, cooked and the amount of meat on the wings was good quality. Honestly I think I could eat these atleast 3 times a week! Kudos to WINGS OVER RALEIGH YOU HAVE A NEW FAN!
