Very Underwhelmed – I have heard many times this was a great BBQ restaurant. The service was above average, but not much more. Though the prices were reasonable, we were overall severely underwhelmed with the food . The pulled pork though tender had very little smoke flavor and no smoke rings. The sauce used on it was very one dimensional and even the spicy sauce had very little kick. The side dishes which included their "signature mac n cheese was grainy and very bland. The meaty beans were even worse, tasting like canned b... read more
Not worth the price – It was one of the worst bbq i had, because it wasn't real bbq. Meat tasted like it came out of the electric oven. Portlanders who doesn't know what real bbq is don't know it I guess, as long as it's flavored with hickory pellets and liquid smoke in a GAS-fired oven? It's like someone from Northwest who tries to copy online recipes of southern cuising without ever lived there. I wouldn't recommend this place unless it was last resort. Service was taking too long, and it was not worth it.
Good BBQ – I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was tasty! and the portion was big between the sandwich and the fries i was stuffed. They have a good selection on sauces from sweet to spicy. they are all good, I like the spicier sauces.
overpriced for the shabby food – I've just tried their pork ribs and it was over cooked, too small of volume for the price. Their sauce is not authentic southern sauce, food is more of a fusion southern food...I will not go there again. I also hate the bar that is visible from the restaurant because I wouldn't want my kids to be exposed to that type of atmosphere...
Delish – This place is talented and wise enough to make bbq healthy and better than any I have ever eaten. The meats ans sauces were great. Just enough of everything, smoky, juicy, tasty, sweet, tangy and flavorful. Our waiter said try the brisket and it melts in your mouth. The potato salad will make you think ou are at a family picnic. The greens are meatless and taste better than any I have has with meat. I would give it 10 stars if I could.
YUMMY!!!!! – Wow, what a fabulous restaurant! Had the brisket with mac n cheese and cole slaw. Also had the fresh cut fries for an appetizer with cajon sauce and wow, soooo yummy! The services was really good as well. A great local restaurant. My friend has the pork ribs with yams and cole slaw. The ribs were the best either of us have had and the yams were sooooo good! Their barbeque sauce is obviously homemade and it was very good. Totally recommend this restaurant. The only item that wasn't so good was the cornbread. It w... read more
Bad service, mediocre food... – I HAD TO WAIT TOO LONG TO SIT AND THEN FINALLY WHEN I GOT THE FOOD, IT TASTED TOO DRY AND FATTY...SIDES WERE MEDIOCRE AND FOR THE PRICE AND THE WAIT, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT. THE SIGN HAS A TWO LARGE NEON PIG ON THE ENTRANCE, NO WONDER, IF I ATE HERE CONSTANTLY I WOULD LOOK LIKE A PIG TOO!
Yummy !! – Yummy, yummy, yummy !!! Great quality food, organic and free range options. Bbq healthy but still so tasty. the sides were divine and the turkey, ribs and hot links were the best ever. We ordered them without the sauce and they were awesome. That is a true testament to how great it is when the meat can stand on its own and still be fabulous !!! We were able to try all the sauces and each one was better than the previous. There is one for every taste from spicy to sweet to mustard Totally recommend !!!!!!
Meatapalooza – You need to go here. I don't care if you are a foodie who usually opts only for the seasonal and sustainable organic choices at a local northwest inspired restaurant. I enjoy that too. Russell Street has a huge selection, from TOFU (yes, at meat heaven), to salmon, shrimp, ribs, chicken, brisket, turkey, pork - you name it. The sides are divine and you get a wide selection to choose from. I ate here recently with my husband and two friends, we call got the sampler. With such a wide selection, I think that we d... read more
