Best BBQ in Portland – I love BBQ and have tried most of the joints in Portland. How I missed Russell Street is beyond me. Pork Ribs were very good, not drowned in sauce and done to mouth watering perfection. If you like your meat to fall off the bone and melt in your mouth this place can't be beat. My wife had the mild sauce and I had the classic, both were good although the mild was a bit bland for my taste. For our sides we both had the greens and mac n cheese, both were very good. The greens, in particular, were almost a... read more
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm good! – I love this place. The food is terrific. The ribs are juicy, tangy and meaty. The portions are a bit too large--which with ribs means they are perfect! Service is friendly, the interior is nice and parking is easy. I only eat there once per year because it's so lethal. So we pick a special occassion. If my doctor would let me, I'd eat there every week.
Just wonderful – I have eaten here three times and have loved it every time. The meats are wonderfully smoked, the sides are delicious, and the sauces compliment everything well. The grilled shrimp are without a doubt some of the best shrimp I have enjoyed from any type of restaurant. A must-try item. They have very nice, if sometimes brisk servers. I can only fault them on their beef brisket, which I found to be rather dry. That said, don't miss the other meats, they're wonderful!
great food – Always looking for good barbecue,have always been pleased with the food here, love the ribs. sides are always good!!!
Great BBQ, great service – We have made this place one of our regular haunts, thanks to the terrific food and the consistency of the service. The ribs, mac and cheese, fries, and hush puppies are our favorites, but we (or our guests) have also tried the chicken, pork, and even the BBQ tofu, and all were excellent. We've never had a bad meal, although once my partner's ribs arrived on the cold side. The staff were very apologetic, fixed the problem promptly, and took his meal off the bill. Many places wouldn't go this far to ... read more
Excellent Ribs, Lousy Brisket – As Im always in a search for excellent BBQ, I thought Id try Russells. The decor was clean, upscale pig. There were little porkers all through the restaurant. It was a nice touch. Although there is a variety of pork on the menu, I felt the place leaned more to a North Carolina style of BBQ. I sampled the ribs and brisket. The ribs were excellent, they were tender and tasty. The brisket, however, left something to be desired. The brisket was NOT tender, but fortunately I had the ribs. In short,... read more
A first! The owners respond – First, we would like to thank everyone for their opinions and taking the time to post their thoughts here. We have never responded to a review but it is important to us to point out a few mis-interpretations. The Derby Mustard Sauce is a wholegrain mustard mixed with spices and seasoning, then pureed in a blender for a great smooth sauce. The pork ribs are braised then grilled with sauce. The brisket is smoked overnight, with another round of smoke in the morning. The beef ribs are smoked for at... read more
still searching for "best beef ribs" – we started our city search for a restaurant with beef ribs for my mom's 60th (her request) and russel street bbq popped up with it's rave reviews so we went to check it out...atmostphere was casual, yet clean and interesting, menu was wide with selection, and we sampled many items between us-the beef ribs were good, nice and meaty, but not quite as tender as i have had other places, and i tried the mustard bbq sauce which really isn't mustard at all but was unique and flavorful. my daug... read more
Great BBQ – My friend suggested we have lunch at Russel Street BBQ. Being a person who can not turned down good BBQ I obliged the offer. The pulled pork sandwhich was one of the best that I have ever had. Nice Tender Meat, great service too. Worth the trip across town.
