★★★★★ 5.0 Aimee McAllister · Jan 2026

AMAZING! Mouth watering ribs, so tender and that peach bbq sauce is YUM. We also got 3 different sandwiches, potato salad and coleslaw. All of them so delicious. You can’t go wrong with anything on this menu. We will be back again and again!!

First off the owner is super sweet and charismatic. Additionally, their food is a beautiful blend between cultures. They are able to blend different textures, tastes, spices so beautifully it’ll leave you wanting more. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Justin McAllister · Dec 2025

The ribs are sooooo good! Big and meaty and a lot of flavor packed into the sauce. Wasn't sure if the peach bbq sauce would be too sweet for my taste but it wasn't at all. Got to chat with owners Abbie and Dan for a bit and they were super friendly. I hope they do well. Great small business to support. I'll be returning to try the pulled pork and slaw.

The owners of the Hot Box BBQ are the NICEST people! You can taste their care & love in every delicious bite. The food cart pod is cozy with indoor seating or covered & heated outdoor seating. Highly recommend!!

I had the Chicken Maui Wowie and it was delicious. Its a cool cart pod with inside and outside seating. Definitely different from most the carts in Portland. Check it out!!
