Bert’s Chuck Wagon

We have been a fan of Bert’s since the wagon in Dundee. We just tried his breakfast menu and it was amazing. The pulled pork hash was amazing. The chicken fried steak was also a great way to start the morning! Can’t wait for the liquor license because all I needed was a Bloody Mary to accompany the amazing meal.

Was there tonight and we were not impressed at all, to me it seems like there is corners being cut that are important. I wanted water (it came with no ice) and got warm by the time our meal came, canned pop? This is why there is no ice, the fries were horrible way to much salt, I think the person in the back shouldn’t put any salt on them, it is a personal choice as to how much, the last fry I tried I had to spit out as i might as well poured a whole salt shaker in my mouth. I mixed the ketchup and jalapeño bbq’d sauce together it was good. Store bought napkins? Where is the quality in this place? And lastly my wife asked for some ranch for her fries, told they don’t have ranch, just another let down.

My husband and I came in and split the three meat platter so we could try all they offer.
Bottom line: the ribs were visibly inedible. They looked like jerky– stringy. I had a bite– awful. I did not even get a to go box to take it to my dogs. It was not worth complaining– we won’t be back– they knew what they looked like when we were served.
After that there’s nothing else worth writing about. Two stars because one star is reserved for food poisoning/​multiple grievous errors.

Weekend breakfast at Bert’s is awesome. Biscuits & gravy got a thumbs up. The pulled pork hash is great

Guys behind the counter were friendly, restaurant is comfortable, food arrived quickly and hot, and finally a place with actual SPICEY bbq sauces! I tried several and all were great, and homemade. I will be back!

If you want good BBQ at reasonable prices in a quick, informal setting, this is your stop. Right next to George Fox University, so we’ve been here a few tunes when dropping off our son who goes to college there. They have pulled pork, brisket and ribs, with a choice of 6 sides. Great burgers, too. I love the seasoned tater tots! Four BBQ sauces: regular, habanero, jalapeño, or apricot. Two TVs so you can watch the game while you chow down. Very friendly staff!

Bert’s is tasty… i had the brisket sandwich and it was trimmed up nicely… i also got the habanero sauce and it was FIRE, which is what i wanted and expected. The prices are very fair, and i will definitely be hitting it up again as it’s close to my shop.

Walked in and asked if they could make a grilled cheese for my toddler. The cashier looked puzzled then walked to the back to ask the line cook if its possible. I watched her shake her head «no» then he walks back over and says they can’t. They have buns and cheese wtf is so hard about it?
We took our business elsewhere. Didn’t have a chance to try their food since they can’t provide anything besides fries for a small child. I guess a simple grilled cheese sandwich is too mind blowing for them.

Tried this place last summer as a food truck at a downtown venue. Brisket was good, but not much else. Decided to try again now that they’re a full-​fledged restaurant.
Brisket sandwich is loaded with some great meat! The cole slaw is actually very tasty with apples added to make it a little sweeter.
My son had the pulled pork sandwich which was equally as good. I tried a sample, was decent pork.
I tried the apricot & original sauces — both good.
I’ll come back.

We meet up with my brother and sister in law for dinner. We hadn’t been there before. We were meet at the front door by the gal with purple hair. I asked her if they were open. Her response floored me. «No! that’s why the OPEN sign isn’t On! «She was ridiculously rude! So needless to say, we will never go back to try it! I’d be surprised if they make it work with that kind of customer service. And what kind of restaurant who is trying to make a go of it are closed 2 days a week?

Not anywhere near on level with my other favorites, but it’s not too bad either.
The good stuff. They do a darn good pulled pork. However in my opinion it’s kind of hard to screw up especially since you’ll drown it in sauce afterwards. The brisket was a chopped brisket. It’s a pretty smart move if you have an inferior cut of meat. That way you just mix it with some good fatty stuff and everyone is at the same level. It’s tasty.
I like the sauces. I’m a sweet sauce guy and these sauces are plenty sweet, but they have a little kick to them. I don’t know how to describe it though. It’s not very tomatoey. But it does have a good blend of acid and sweetness and spice.
Where we lose traction is the sides. The mac and cheese is pretty good. Not too heavy, not tasting artificial. However the mac salad is awful. It has a weird texture and takes a lot of pickles and I’m not sure what else. The corn muffins were cold and uniform enough that it was obvious they were from a mix. I love sweet things, but the beans were actually a little too sweet.
The value isn’t terrible especially since barbecue is notoriously expensive. If someone wanted to try it I would come back.

BERT’S I I was a wonderful experience. This is a true BBQ Joint. Drove home with a smile on my face.

Went here last week. I ordered the 2 meat with brisket and pulled pork. The meat was decent. The Mac n’ cheese was probably generic powdered cheese brand. We ordered two canned sodas and a cup of water. We had to go up to the counter to get the water, and as we left we were told we were charged for two additional bottled waters.
Gave it another chance. Out of ribs entirely, and I couldn’t get a 3 meat combo with two servings of another meat because they «don’t do that.» Couldn’t order a cup of water because they were out of cups. So go to the Walgreens across the street and buy more! The beans were definitely from a can.
I left the restaurant hungry, and that should not happen at a real bar bq joint. I left my stamp card from the first visit on the table. Won’t need it again.

Got caught driving too hungry and took a chance on this little gem with no reviews. If you’re down with BBQ you’re down with Bert’s. Ordered a burger and pulled pork with sides. A for meat quality and b– for sides. Burger was juicy delicious and pulled pork was tender and tasty. Thought the beans were a bit syrupy but the mac and cheese had some delightful toppings.
