Dad’s Country Kitchen
Solar-Powered BBQ Catering in Portland, Oregon
Great BBQ, Great for the Body, Great for the Environment
Dad’s Country Kitchen was built on the belief that barbecue should bring people together without leaving anyone out. We combine bold, authentic smokehouse flavor with thoughtful menu design and a fully sustainable mobile kitchen.
Our pitmaster, Bryan Goold, is a three-time cancer survivor and Type 2 diabetic. That journey reshaped how we approach food. Today, we proudly offer options that are gluten free, no sugar added, low sodium, diabetic friendly, keto friendly, and more.
At the same time, we operate Oregon’s first 100% solar-powered Class IV BBQ trailer, delivering an elevated catering experience that is as responsible as it is delicious.

Carbon Neutral Trailer
Dad’s Country Kitchen operates Oregon’s first 100% solar-powered, Class IV licensed mobile food unit. Our custom competition-style BBQ trailer runs on a 16,000W lithium battery system powered by solar and shore power simultaneously.
With all-electric commercial appliances and no combustible equipment inside the trailer, we have created a cleaner, safer, carbon-neutral cooking experience.
We use RecTec pellet smokers and 100% oak pellets to preserve authentic barbecue flavor while minimizing environmental impact. Sustainability is not a marketing angle for us. It is how we operate every single day.
Commitment to people
Designed so that EVERYONE can enjoy BBQ
Barbecue should never exclude anyone.
Because of Bryan’s personal health journey, our menus are intentionally designed to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs. Guests can enjoy gluten-free, no sugar-added, low-sodium, diabetic friendly, low-glycemic, keto, and carnivore-friendly options without sacrificing flavor.
When we say everyone can enjoy our BBQ, we mean it.
Great food brings people together. We make sure no one is left out.
