Cindy Lou's - Salem

Great food. the brisket was so good I didn't even need the sauce. the sauce was also good. And the Jalapeño rice was in a grocery truck, they came to the retiring party of our company and served everyone. really friendly people, would I recommend it?

The boys at Cindy Lou's are crushing the game. As a fellow event caterer, I was graced with Cindy Lou's presence at a recent event. I'm a big fan of self starters, good people, and excellent brisket All boxes were checked. Keep up the good work, Chris!

Super nice and friendly guys manning the food truck when we got there. They were right in the midst of making the food for our order, so we knew it was well-prepared and fresh. They were kind enough to tell us how their food truck got started, and the inspiration behind it, which is always fun and nice to hear because it makes the experience and food so much more personable. Regarding the food: it was tasty, and the portion size for each order was bigger than we expected (this is not a complaint). The chicken, ribs, and pulled pork were quite tender and juicy. However, the brisket tasted a little overcooked, which resulted in a slight toughness to it, and the mesquite flavor in all the meats was overwhelming after a few bites. I'm certain some people like a lot of that smoky flavor, but for my family and me, it was just a little too much. Their BBQ sauce actually tastes more like a spicy salsa, which I personally wasn't fond of. The macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and jalapeño rice were all quite delicious though. I was content with just those sides, and wish I had gotten another order or two of the rice. Overall, I'd only go back for their sides, which is a bit of a dampener considering it is a BBQ food truck.

High time eating is usually quite lacking glamour. I said it. we didn't want to, so we hired cindy lous! chopped brisket, pulled boar, mac n cheese, kartoffelsalat and garlauch toast. they offer on the side so that the guests can use as much or as little as they want. the number of guests who are complicated to eat during the night and after days was the only confirmation we needed that we made the right decision! cindy lou’s is easy to work with, take and damn delicious! good people make great food!

We ordered the pulled pork plate with coleslaw and garlic mashed potatoes, Mac daddy sandwiches with pulled pork and brisket, and a smoked meat and cheddar sandwich with pulled pork. I should have taken pictures, but we ate it too fast! Everything was awesome. The service was great and there was very little wait. We were lucky and got there before they were out of anything, which I've been told happens later in the day we got the last of the mashed potatoes! Probably the best barbecue I've had in Salem. Definitely the best I've had in a long time!
