Try it, You'll Like It – Great food! I love it all, but have a real place in my heart for the brisket sandwich with slaw, or a chicken sandwich with pimento cheese. My favorite must have sides are: mac and cheese, greens, and beans! Kids get perfect sized portions, and love the mac and cheese. The cocktails are great, and they are always coming up with something new to try. My husband enjoys the beer selection, because there are so many great local beers on tap. The service is friendly and prompt, and we always feel welcome ... read more
Favorite restuarant in town, Friday nights are busy – I've been to this restaurant I guess 25+ times in the past year. It has always been consistently good. Everything from the brisket to the pulled pork sandwiches. I think they are very reasonably priced. It doesn't get any better than this..when you can go in..sit down to good music, good bbq, sweet tea and home cooked deserts. My brother, couple friends and I make a point to visit frequently. Two thumbs up.
I waited too long for this – I read about this place about a year ago and always wanted to go. Im not too familiar with that part of town so I didnt rush into it, besides, nobody can get EVERYTHING right. Either the bbq is good but the side dishes are horrible, or vice versa. (IE Campbells, pahdnas, etc) I have learned to just bbq at home so I know it is good. Found ourselves in that part of town and decided to try it. Absolutely the best! The meat is all organic, grain fed, non fatty, not stringy. The mac n cheese was just ... read more
Pretty good BBQ – I agree with some of the comments that it could use more hickory smoke flavor like some of the barbeque that I have had in the south, but overall I have enjoyed it very much in each of my return visits. The Carolina barbeque needs some work though, it is pretty weak compared to what I have have had in NC.
Great service, great Q, so-so sides – I was really impressed by Russell St. - the staff was friendly and we were promptly seated. I ordered the meatapalooza - including three meats, two sides and corn bread. Overall the meal was very good - the three choices I made for meat were brisket, pork ribs and beef ribs. I would have to say my least favorite was the beef rib - it was still good but paled in comparrison to the brisket and pork rib. - both of which are fall off the bone moist with a wonderful mix of spice and heat (I o... read more
Fantastic food! – The bbq was so good, especially because it doesn't leave you feeling overly full and gross. They put a lot of healthy options on the menu, which I really appreciated. Great food, decent wine selection, and really fun atmosphere. Definitely go!
Over-rated! – Seriously, how did this place get 5 stars? The portions are small, the food is bland and the atmosphere is that of an upscale mcdonalds. The chicken was grey and the ribs were dull. Maybe I just had a rare bad experience, but nothing we saw on any of our plates made us want to come back. It just wasnt as good as everyone made it out to be.
Spendy but worth it – A little more expensive than I like for a restaurant I want to frequent often, but their bbq has never let me down!
The Best "Que" I've ever had – Russell Street BBQ is one of Portland's jewels. It started with a friendly welcome from the hostess and fresh water served to your table right away. The ambiance is well balanced: warm from the wood furniture and floors (no more red and blue plastic table cloth) but also fresh and clean with lots of sunlight and cute deco. My previous experiences of BBQ restaurants were in Texas, where the places were always too dark, smoky and far from spotless. Pretty bad first experiences that made me think ... read more
