Healthy tasty veggie bbq – I had the 'three meat' special but I chose no meat - just tofu, shrimp and salmon. For sides, I had coleslaw and greens, with cornbread and the Virginia classic sauce. It must be the healthiest and tastiest barbecue I've ever had. They have some good microbrews too. I'm not an expert on Southern food, but this was good. The service was excellent too. I'm glad we went there instead of the new yuppie Spanish place opposite. Good value - total cost for two was $50 including $10 tip and four beers. I'd... read more
What's the Hype..? – Being a displaced Southerner, I had been overwhelmed by my co-workers and friends about Russell Street BBQ and it's greatness. Well, I ordered the 3 Meat Sampler (MeataPoolza) in which I got chicken, beef brisket, and pork ribs; plus, a side of cole slaw and beans with meat. I placed my order and was informed I had to "pick" which style sauce I wanted on each piece of meat...WTF? Well, the chicken was received with no sauce and it was terribly overcooked; plus, the brisket had little/no sauce and there w... read more
THE PERFECT FIX – On the way home from a long day of work we decided to order out from RUSSELL STREET BBQ. Hadn't eaten there for awhile and we were in a bad way. Jonesing for that taste of smoky goodness and sauces that just can't be beat in Portland. We pretty much stick to our usual. For me its the chicken sandwich with derby mustard sauce and a side of the creamy coleslaw. My partner get the small chopped salad with brisket and corn bread. My partner ordered his and I just couldn't help myself, I veered and I ordered a c... read more
Consistently the best BBQ – This is one of the few restaurants in town that remains consistently excellent. Whether my husband and I pop in for lunch with our toddler on Saturday for a beef brisket sandwich (with classic sauce, add pimento cheese) and mac & cheese, meet a large group of friends for a celebration (family style makes it EASY), or go out on a week night or two (the bursting with flavor chopped turkey salad is my favorite order) I always get the same quality service, food, and experience. The new big booths prov... read more
My favorite restaurant in Portland – I love this place, and I've been a customer since it opened. The food is fantastic - my favorites are Smoked Beef Ribs, Turkey BBQ salad, and strawberry lemonade. The service rocks and the owners and staff are super friendly. I recommend Russell Street BBQ to anyone visiting Portland, friends, family, and total strangers.
best pork sandwich – i love a pork sandwich and i found my love at russell street bbq. the smokey pork is delicious with the derby mustard sauce and the slaw topping takes it over the top. delicious. however, my favorite dish on the menu is the unique bbq shrimp appetizer. the creamy sauce with a spicey kick i could eat with a spoon...and i have. great atmosphere, friendly service and don't forget a prailine on the way out! head on out to the que for a little bit of the south in the northwest.
Wish I could go back – My husband and I went to Russell Street Bar.B.Que our first night in Portland. After a long drive we wanted a relaxed atmosphere. The service was prompt and friendly, and our server was able to give us details and his opinion on what to get. They didn't even rush us and we came near closing. We both got the baby back ribs and while mine was a little spicy for my taste (which is my own fault for ordering that sauce!) we agreed they were the smokiest, most tender and to die for ribs we've had in a long t... read more
Even they'll tell you: stay away from the beef ribs – It's a bright, cheery place; no question. The sauces are great and the service is very friendly. I ordered a half order of the beef ribs for $12 and got an overcooked order. The outside was so tough as to be inedible and there was so little sweet inside meat left that what looked to be an enormous order yielded a very small amount of food. The server asked me how my order was. I asked if they intended the crust of the ribs to be so tough and dry. She went to ask and came ... read more
AWESOME – Even if you don't eat meat the side dishes are awesome. Everything on the menu is great! The spare ribs are the best deal in town!
