"The smoked meats at this Hillsboro barbecue cart come throughly saturated with big oak smoke and heavy seasoning, whether that’s pork belly burnt ends smoked over Oregon white oak for seven or eight hours, or slices of tender, juicy brisket smoked for nearly twice that time. Now that this formerly roaming cart has settled within Weil Arcade Food Park, it’s easier to track down its fun, offbeat specials, like the jam and brisket-topped biscuit." - Ron Scott

I don’t know about Troy’s response! But this place was fire—the BBQ was cooked to absolute perfection! We indulged in pulled pork, ribs, brisket, and pork belly (which were fabulous). Every side dish complemented the meal beautifully, and to top it off, we enjoyed some good old-fashioned Rainier beer. This spot is a must-visit for any BBQ lover! FYI- My Fiance is from Texas born and raised and he is so picky about his bbq but he loves this place as well. We will definitely be coming back! See before and after photo. #demolished

Got food from there today, got home and realized I didn’t receive my brisket burger :(. This is the second time we’ve tried this place and have been disappointed both times. Last time was last summer outside of Orenco Taphouse so we thought we’d give the food cart pod a shot. Ribs had so much collagen that wasn’t broke down, I’m surprised they sell any. This happens when the internal temp doesn’t get high enough for long enough and the product is rushed. Same thing w the pork belly burnt ends but the fat on them was slightly rendered better. The meat on them was dry though, again rushed. The brisket was dry and chewy during last year’s visit but I wasn’t able to try it this visit (Saturdays only for brisket and pulled pork). I’m going to try to save the ribs later by w a little sauce, butcher paper and cooking at 225°F until 200°F ish internal 😕. Barbecue in this region is such a let down. Best to take the time and smoke your own or make the trek to Botto’s. In reply to Fertie’s reply: I am aware rib meat should not fall off the bone lol. I have friends and family that do brisket and rib competitions. This may be the way you like to make them but they were not executed well :/. I’ve been eating barbecue in St Louis, Des Moines, KC and Texas (Lubbock, Lockhart, Austin, DFW) fairly often over the course of 30 years, been making it for 20 years. The ribs literally made my wife sad. Oh and I wanted the burger, especially since it was the only protein available for the plate 🤷‍♂️. Pretty sure I was charged for it but I’ll have to check again. I’m sure you’ll keep improving, the sides were great! All the best 👍

Stopped by for the 1st time today for dinner. Customer service was spectacular. Everyone was nice and very friendly. Ribs were the star of the show today. They were so freakin delicious. Cooked perfectly. Nice smoke ring. Probably some of the best ribs I’ve ever had. I’m looking forward to my next trip. I highly recommend. This place and I are establishing a new relationship. This place is a real gem!

Ummmm, where have you been all my life? This is lovingly Brisket on a Biscuit and I couldn't be happier to have found it. T.J. said the brisket was 'on point' and he wasn't messing around. The jam was WONDERFUL and I highly recommend this fancy BBQ item if you are a fan of savory/sweet. Thank you for being a downtown Hillsboro cart. I can't wait to try the rest of your menu. Oh, you'll need a fork and extra napkins. Trust me.

If you haven't tried TJ's smoked BBQ/Briskets/Ribs, you're definitely missing out! Not only is TJ & his beautiful sidekick Kylie are awesome peeps but they sure know how to make killer food. Best we've had! 🙌💯💣🔥They do catering too 😉

So freaking good!! Love the brisket on a bisket! The alchemist jam (strawberry & rhubarb) is a local jam company and is delicious!

I moved to Portland from Atlanta in 2015 and one of the main draws for me was the food. In all the time I’ve been here, I’ve been trying to find and have been continuously underwhelmed with the BBQ offerings until trying Ferttie’s. So far I’ve only tried the ribs and the brisket, but both were absolutely top notch and I gladly recommend it to anyone who appreciates gourmet low and slow delicacies. It even passes my six year old’s (who was brought up on some of Memphis’ best BBQ) standards.

Been eating at Ferttie's BBQ for years. It's an understatement to say that BBQ on this level is difficult to find in the area. It's evident that T.J. cares about the craft and puts his heart and soul into it. Please do yourself a favor and try this place. The only thing you will regret is not getting more. Everything is good, but my personal favorites are the brisket, burnt ends, and the grits with some pickled onions. The queso mac and smoked burger are also stellar choices.

Easily the best brisket on the west side. Came in on a Saturday, ordered Brisket, slaw, Hawaiian mac salad and grilled corn. Brisket: super tender with great bark and a thick smoke ring. Hawaiian mac salad was on point. Slaw was great with a vinegar base and just a little sweetness. The grilled corn was delicious, in a creamy chipotle lime dressing with cilantro and cojita cheese. Great location in the new Weil Arcade Food Park just off of East Main street, with a few tables. Really excited to have Ferttie's in a dedicated spot now. Can't wait to come back on Thursday/ Fridays for his smoked Brisket burgers that my friends still rave about from last year, and his morning brisket on a biscuit from 9 to 11am!
