About this business
If it takes restaurant owner, Rodney Muirhead to wake up at 5a to get the fire pit going, you know the meat at Podnah's Pit is going to be good. Smoking nearly 200 pounds of meat in a Texas style barbecue every single day, he ensures only the juiciest, most tender cuts cooked to absolute perfection reach your plate. Another hard to resist item on the menu are the California styled pulled pork sandwiches claimed to be one of Portland's best. If you can't wait till lunch, then come for Podnah's weekend breakfasts that includes... read more

Try their breakfast – We've added Podnah's to our Sunday morning breakfast rotation (joining Marco's, J & M, Besaw's, Sanborn's and Tin Shed). Simple menu, good food and good service. Try the parmesan cheese grits instead of potatos . . . and don't forget the bisquit. It's really good.
Will never return – I loved Podnah's, it was one of my favorite BBQ restaurants around. The sides were mediocre, but the Blue Cheese Wedge was delicious, chili was very good, the brisket is amazing, and it is real smoked meat that is not hidden by sauce. Very good quality ingredients and real home cookin. That is the good. Now- the bad- tonight's experience was ridiculous enough for me to immediately post this and decide to boycott ever going back. We called to order takeout- were told they were "too busy to take takeout cal... read more
Great BBQ – Ribs were meaty, juicy and tender. Great smoked flavor and yummy bark. Brisket was the best I have ever had, moist and fork tender. Smoked Trout hash was to die for some of the best trout I have ever had. And the Biscuits were Delish as well. Service was good :)
Great All Around – Vaguely remembered a BBQ sign on the corner of 15th and Prescott, since we were in the area, we decided to check it out. Started with a pitcher of Anchor Steam, so even if the food was bad it wouldn't have been a wasted trip. But the food was great! We had Brisket and pulled pork and they were both awesome! I love their Virginia style spicy vinegar. Their coleslaw was awesome, not drippy and creamy, but sweet and vinegary. Yum! Their greens were awesome as well. Must try! Service was awesome too!
We were scared....Portland does NOT know BBQ....but guess what? Podnahs was excellent! Very tasty! We had a brisket sandwich, greens, smoked ruby trout, black eyed pea salad, and frito pie. The brisket was tender and delicious. The trout was served whole stuffed with lemon and seasoning....tender and flavorful. They make their own hot sauce and it is yummy. Never had b.e.p. salad but I'll be looking for it again.....tasty. Really I cant say enough about how much we enjoyed Podnahs. After trying so many places just to be disa... read more
Special Smoked Prime Rib - Amazing! – A group of guys enjoyed trying Podnah's last night after learning that they would be making their special smoked prime rib this weekend. We had a large group (10) so we contacted them in advance and they held a table for us. 8 of us had the prime rib and everyone thought that it was great. Cooked perfectly. Another had the brisket and thought it was excellent. Last guy had the pulled pork sandwich and also liked it very much. Go to their website and sign up for the e-mail newsletter. Tha... read more
If you're looking for great bbq stop in, if you're looking for romance move along – The room is pretty bare bones (no pun), and the seating is fairly limited, but if you're looking for the real deal look no further. This place is fanatastic. From the rub, to the real hardwood smokin', to the sauces it's hard to beat Podnah's. And not just in Portland, I'm from the South, and there are few places I've been to that can compare. The ribs, chicken, pulled pork, or my personal favorite the lamb ribs are all outstanding. The sides... read more
place is small but not that bad, food is okay too. real bbq though. I appreciate their efforts... – very similar to clay's, kind of run down small place without much ambience...yum yum's? that place is little too wacky for me, and I didn't even mind the Reo's ribs decor...Campbell's has great ambience and food, and like the Podna's, they have good meat. They both have good beers and wine. Sides? Campbell's have good sides like the Russell street, but Russell street is little bit snobbish undeservingly. Because Russell street... read more
TOOK TOO LONG FOR THE BAD FOOD, AND IT WAS EXPENSIVE, TINY LITTLE PLACE,NO SEATING! – THEY PRIDE ON USING ONLY OAK WOOD WHICH EMITS MILD TOXINS....WHATEVER, FOOD WAS TOO CHEWY AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I DROVE OUT TO THAT LITTLE 6FEET WIDE NARROW ROOM AND HAD TO WAIT HALF HOUR FOR THE FOOD...PRICE? I KNOW THAT ECONOMY IS SLOW, BUT WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE? EMPLOYEES LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN SMOKING SOMETHING ALL DAY...I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY COOK IN A CLEAN MANNER IN THAT LITTLE DIRTY KITCHEN.....THERE IS NO WAY IT CAN BE SANITARY....... read more
