Food Truck Catering

Catering in Dallas, OR

On any given afternoon in Dallas, Oregon, the best thing that could happen is the smell of wood smoke drifting across the parking lot. Smokin Zo's makes that happen — brisket trimmed and seasoned the night before, ribs on the smoker before the sun comes up, pulled pork ready to feed a crowd that didn't know it was hungry until it definitely was. This is the kind of BBQ that turns an ordinary day into a story worth telling.

Kingsborough Park Western Oregon University Polk County Courthouse Leonard W. Rice Auditorium

At Sgt. Ian M. Tawney Memorial Park, where the community gathers for everything from memorials to weekend festivals, Smokin Zo's has found one of its most natural homes in Dallas. University Computing Solutions has learned that a smoked-brisket lunch is the kind of midday reset that no productivity app has ever managed to replicate. And when the mood calls for something more relaxed and open-air, Lone Oak Park gives guests the room to spread out, slow down, and let the BBQ do exactly what it was always meant to do.

Oregon has health reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or inspection issued by any Oregon jurisdiction is accepted statewide. Fire permits are issued locally.

In Dallas, health is licensed by Polk County Environmental Health and fire permitting is set locally by Dallas' fire authority.

If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Dallas.

Smokin Zo's and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.
