Editorial fromCarnivores go for the slow-cooked brisket, links and baby-backs at this top Portland barbecue joint. The heat level is calibrated as you like it, but the flavors remain smoky and pungent no matter what your level of fire tolerance. The…

good customer service – baked beans with ham hocks were nice addition, as well as their free samples of 7up cake and red velvet cake...nice touch for a Christmas. They changed the beef and pork ribs, it was good before but now it's better than before because colors are very light, not burnt looking. I think they have the best ribs in Portland. Pineapple pieces in the baked beans was authentic southern style, as well as their candied yams, and mac & cheese. I was very impressed with their service and food. Above average defin... read more

Nothing to write home about – I went to Campbell's with 6 others for my birthday dinner. Overall a barely satisfactory experience, certainly not anywhere near the phenomenal experience some folks here have raved about. Highlights: Pork ribs with medium sauce were very tasty. Greens were good. Lowlights: Potato salad tasted like it just came out of a plastic bucket, way too sweet. Beef ribs were very dry. Sweet potato pie was just OK and the peach cobbler was marginal at best. Black eyed peas had very little taste at all. I w... read more

best potato salad ever tasted – I was eating their meal when they suddenly brought out their new potato salad to try...it was good before, but now it's somuch better. Their beef brisket was lean and sliced, not fatty...fats were all trimmed. Smokey brown sugar sauce was wonderful, medium was little hot but not too hot. I am glad I've tried their improvement, they make it better once in awhile. Their atmosphere is like a real nice restaurant, not like a deli where I would feel embarrassed to take my friends to...

something different for a change....... – I love barbeque, and I was tired of eating Pork , because I was tired of eating beef. But then I tried the Buffalo ribs and Wild boar ribs at the Campbell's bbq and it was surprisingly good because it was leaner and tender, yet flavorful. Not to mention it was Organic so it means it was healthy. Generally their food seemed healthier and cleaner than your usual restaurant food, I know because if it was unhealthy, I can feel the cholesterol build up on my teeth right away... Their gree... read more

GREAT FOOD, WONDERFUL PEOPLE, NICE BIG PARKING LOT, LARGE SEATINGS – BEEF RIBS WERE MEATY, GREAT FLAVOR OF SMOKE AND SEASONING MARINATED....EASY TO EAT OFF THE BONE, AND THEY GAVE ME EXTRA BONES TO TAKE HOME FOR MY DOG...10 POUNDS OF IT! I SAW THEIR WONDERFUL LARGE BRICK BBQ PIT WITH CHERRY WOOD BURNING, I WAS HAPPY TO NOT SEE ANY GAS OR PROPANE, OR THOSE LITTLE DRUM CAN SMOKERS MOST RESTAURANTS USE.... CORNBREADS WERE HOMEMADE FRESH, GREENS AND PITO BEANS WERE NOT GREASY...YUM! EASY TO PARK ON THEIR LOT WAS A CHANGE FROM PA... read more

Woudn't go there again – I was extremely dissapointed after finaly getting a chance to go to Campbell's. I have tried alot of BBQ in Portland and this was the worst i've had thus far. The ribs were extremely dry and smothered in sauce to compensate. The coleslaw was mediocre, potatoe salad seemed like it came out of a container, and cornbread tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. For the price i won't be visiting again, which is dissapointing because i was hoping for a lot better. BTW...not even a wet nap at the end of... read more

The Worst BBQ in Portland – I have not gone back to Campbell's in over a year. On my last visit, I ordered beef brisket and got chopped up slow cooked slop that is used on the sandwiches. I complained to the server that this was not a brisket...a slice of beef. She had some lame excuse about that is what they use when they run out of the slices of beef. She didn't seem to care that I was dissatisfied. Later, my husband went back and complained and they said I could have a 30% discount next time I come in....PLEASE!!! I am no... read more

restaurant with a heart. – I saw the manager women give a ride to the old lady on a walker back to her home last night, because she was concerned for her safety. Now that is a great service... Food was great, ambience is excellent...New patio construction is going on outside but from the way they do things with their heart into it, I'm sure it's going to be exciting....this is a classy place with classy people. I came back this time because they had forgotten to put the sauce in my to-go order before, and they drove out to m... read more
