Big Tasty's

Talk about an amazing BBQ lunch 😋. It was our first time visiting this food truck. Packed with flavor I had the one pound of brisket and my son had the five rib plate. We also got street corn and cornbread. It was all delicious and packed with flavor-killer BBQ sauce. We will definitely return and try other dishes.

Food is mostly pretty good. The BBQ sauce was not my favorite it's really sweet in my opinion. Portions are pretty normal sizes. If I walk up to order and staff can't help me because they are stuffing their face, it's kinda awkward for the customer. Sliding into my next point, you are a food cart already providing lower than average customer service based on my interactions, and your tip options are 20, 25 and 30 percent. A little steep if you ask me 😂

I see a lot of 5 star reviews for this place. If you love it, that's awesome. If you're looking for amazing BBQ brisket, you might want to keep looking. We've had brisket and BBQ at several places around the country. The brisket here is just okay, and I wouldn't come back unless things changed. First thing to note: the brisket is sliced the wrong direction, giving you long chewy muscle fibers. It needs to be cut so you get short fibers which are easier to chew. And there was plenty of chewing since it's a little on the dry side. I'm really used to melt-in-your-mouth brisket, and this definitely did not melt. Second: we really didn't taste much smoke flavor at all. All we could really taste was black pepper. We could not see any sort of smoke ring on the meat. It seems like it's being smoked for too short of time at too high of temperature, leading to drier meat and less smoke flavor. Also, the seasoning didn't really penetrate into the meat, leaving any flavor just on the outside edge/bark. And again, that only flavor is black pepper. Third: due to the things noted above, the brisket just tasted like a pot roast, not BBQ brisket. Same texture as pot roast also (long muscle fibers) since it's sliced wrong. You can get the exact same thing out of your slow cooker at home, for a much better price. Fourth: sides cost extra. Most places at least include a scoop or 2 of something to go along with the meat, which makes it a better value. All you get here is meat, bread, pickles, and onions. Other notes: The BBQ sauce is pretty sweet, so if you like sweet sauces you'll like theirs. The pickles they provide are also sweet, so keep that in mind if you are particular about your pickles. The Mexican street corn was probably the best thing we had, but it's not your traditional Mexican street corn. The broccoli salad comes with sauce on the side, but it really needs to soak in that sauce for a while or something. The sauce didn't really stick to the broccoli. One last thing to note: You don't need to drop so many F-bombs around your customers. It's a bit off putting when we're just trying to order some food.

I've been looking for good BBQ in this area for 6 months. I just hadn't found it. We went to the West Linn Garage today and I finally bit the bullet and tried Big Tasty's. I had the ribs with a side of cole slaw. The slaw was really good. I'd never had slaw that was all purple cabbage. I don't like a lot of mayo in the dressing and this was just right. The ribs were really good. If you like fall off the bone ribs, this is the place. What was great is that the meat fell off the bone, but still had some structure to it. Maria (one of the owners) was a kick. We had a nice conversation. I like that she wasn't trying to be too proper. I will definitely go back. Brisket next time.

Thrilled to have top-notch BBQ right here in West Linn! Not only is their food amazing but this is definitely a power couple. Thank you for committing to make amazing food at the garage. I’ve worked my way through the entire menu, and I can confidently say: you haven’t missed a beat. Every dish is spot-on.

Just tried this for the first time and WOW! Best brisket I’ve ever had. Fall apart tender. The Mac and Cheese was delicious and the cornbread with maple butter a lovely touch of sweet and satisfying. The ambiance at the food truck park was very nice too. They even had live music! Overall loved it. Check it out if you’re anywhere near the area. You won’t be disappointed.

First time customer. We stopped on the way home from Silverton after looking up the closest BBQ. What a great choice! We split the brisket and pulled pork with a couple of ribs to boot. It was all so tasty and tender. The Mac and Cheese was legit and was very impressed with the little details. There were homemade pickles, purple cabbage coleslaw and topped it off with fantastic cornbread with honey butter. Definitely worth out to West Linn.

We visited a new food truck pod dangerously close to my office in Tigard. What a FANTASTIC lunch at this newly opened BBQ food truck called Cockmans kitchen. Maria is so fun & friendly not to mention has some pretty delicious food. Her and her husband Adam run the truck, smoke the meat and make all the sides. We tried the pork belly special, 1/2 lb juicy brisket, broccoli salad, baked beans and Mexican street corn. If you are craving BBQ this is the spot you need to check out. The Brisket was juicy and flavorful. The BBQ sauce was sweet with a hint of spice. The Broccoli salad was just like my family makes. The beans were tasty. I wasn't super excited about the Mexican street corn. It was different from the traditional creamy kind. I probably wouldn't get it again but that broccoli salad and beans are a definite go for me!! The pork belly was good but could use a toss in the grill after smoked to caramelize the BBQ sauce and give it another note. This is a brand new food truck small business so come and show them some love and try a few things. Give them your feedback because they want to make sure your experience is fantastic. Maria & Adam are doing it right! Keep up the great work with such a fun and loving spirit in the name of BBQ! See y'all again real soon!

The food is amazing, and the customer service is great as well. They are very very friendly and put a smile on our faces!

I don't usually go for bbq but I decided to check this place out. Seen it online & def caught my attention. Went in, the Staff was super friendly! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich & a 3 piece rib. I think that was the best pulled pork sandwich i've ever had the ribs were smacking as well. Picked 1 rib up & the meat just fell off the bone I need to go back to this place asap! Please support! you won't regret it

First time trying this place. I'm always looking for good BBQ and these guys nailed it. I spent time talking to the owner for a little bit and it was great to hear that they opened their business so shortly ago and are putting out such amazing food. I ordered: 1/2 lb brisket, brisket sandwich, bean bake, and coleslaw. Each thing was absolutely wonderful; this includes the sauce and the pickled cucumbers and onions. I'm glad these guys are seeing success and I will be back (probably sooner than later because in the future I'm sure I'll be standing in a long line).

I don't often review places it just isn't my thing. However in this case I feel it is needed. My wife and I went to lunch at Cockman's Kitchen. My wife got the 1/2 pound brisket and I got the 5 ribs. The ribs fall right off the bone and were the definition of perfection. The brisket was fantastic as well such great flavor. We shared a side order of the Mexican Street Corn which was also delicious. I highly recommend trying Cockman's Kitchen if you want good bbq. We will definitely be back. I also enjoyed that we were able to sit at a table in the shade and listen to music that was playing but not so loud that my wife and I couldn't have a nice conversation while we waited for our meal. There wasn't much talking once we were eating it was too good haha.

Update! Read the excellent response! Changing my review! I hope to be by sometime! Not sure if they are in business! Not there during posted hours. Open today on Saturday until 5, it is 2:30 and not a sole around.

We tried this food truck for the first time today and we were not disappointed at all! Friendly staff, great seating options, music, and shade to eat. The food was the best part. We had the pork belly special, the brisket, the ribs, cold slaw, and broccoli salad. It was all fresh and some of the best Bbq we have ever had. We will be back. All of the meat was moist and delicious. The bbq sauce was so good too!! Yummmmmm!

Ordered a bunch of food for my husband's birthday. He's from Texas, so he knows and loves his BBQ! The food here was awesome! I particularly liked the pulled pork, beans, and corn. He was a big fan of the brisket. Service was friendly and lovely, too. We'll definitely be back! The only suggestion I'd have would be to offer corn bread! Yum.

This is my good friends business she started with her husband recently and her husband CAN COOK!!!! She already been in the restaurant industry for a long time so this was overdue. I visited today around 11/11:15am and they had quite the lunch rush! Overheard lots of large orders. They got them out in a timely manner. I had the shredded rib sandwich and OH MAN IT WAS THE BEST IVE EVER HAD. I'm not too much of a bbq person but now I am. Both owners are high energy and extremely friendly and attentive. The sandwich was perfectly done. The purple cabbage added that crunch, the ribs were so flavorful it brought little tears to my eyes. One sandwich wasn't enough but I was on a time crunch. Will be back for more!!!!

The best BBQ this side of the Mississippi Amazing service Down home food truck atmosphere with a smile

Awesome food, friendly atmosphere and service. Fo for the Brisket and the baked beans, oh the baked beanns

Cockman's BBQ pulled pork sandwich is a flavor explosion! The tender, smoky pork combined with their sauce creates a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. Each bite is like a journey through the heart of barbecue country. As for the ribs, they're fall-off-the-bone tender, with a rich, savory flavor that keeps you coming back for more.

Yum yum yum. Thankful for this beautiful local BBQ meats without a whole ass meal. Yummm

Awesome authentic and delicious bbq food! Maria and her husband give the best service and have nailed it with their menu! Try the Mexican street corn salad for a nice treat!
