43 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lake Oswego

“Their chair-side guacamole was so absolutely amazing I had a hard time what to do when my fish & shrimp tacos came. Blanca was our server and made our guac just to our liking by asking how we wanted.

The bar offers a quick seating most of the time (as we often go without a reservation later evening) as well as the patio seating is lovely and perfect for me as I’m always cold. I’m dreaming already about going back. Thank you for your friendly service and great Mexican food and atmosphere!“

“Delicious 😋, fresh, clean, good service👍 Will be back from Vancouver, WA.“

“We just got BBQ to go from Dickey's BBQ now located next to the MOD pizza in the Cruse Meadows Commons off Meadows Rd. It takes a lot of faith to open up a new venture at any time and especially now. This is a chain and the owner is local. We tried the brisket, pulled pork and spare ribs. All had good flavor and were very tender. The ribs had a nice smoke ring and were falling off the bone. All the sides were good except we didn't love the beans. I liked the potato casserole (basically loaded mashed potatoes) and the cabbage slaw was like what you get it KFC or Safeway deli but not as sweet. We tried 3 sauces - Classic, Carolina and Sweet. Enjoyed all of them. They run a $12.99 special of the day that rotates and offer a free kids meal on Sundays with regular entree orders. Loyalty points are available thru their app. If you haven't tried them yet, reward their leap of faith and get your good bbq grub on.“

“First time there. Food is FANTASTIC. Prices are very reasonable. The owners are very nice. I will be back.“

“Great atmosphere and delicious meats!“

“Great selection of food from the resident food trucks and a great rotating tap list at the bar. Perfect spot for a quick bite to eat and beverage prior to heading to the the Moda Center. Bonus: Order from the bar and any or all of the food trucks from your phone through their great online ordering system! Very convenient and didn't have to wait in a single line. 😀“

“So good! Probably the best BBQ in Portland. I had the burnt ends and my friend had the ribs. Both were fantastic. Great beers from Little Beast Brewing too. Will definitely be back.“

“This is a top-notch Vietnamese restaurant the service is unbelievably great they took care of my every need or want the food was hot when they brought it to the table they were constantly just there to see if we needed anything else great job good atmosphere family orientated“

“One of my favorite places in Portland to eat for something with some flair!! My husband and I had the brisket a few years ago and still think of it to this day. You can’t go wrong ordering anything from the menu. It’s all good.“

“Vendor to vendor, Mississippi Delta BBQ is phenomenal. From the people you work with to the food you eat. As a vendor, we see a lot of vendors at various events. We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Mississippi Delta on quite a few events and we are always excited to work those events with them. You will be blown away:-)“

“I don't recommend Reverends' BBQ because I just discovered it after all these years and I don't want it to be too crowded when I start taking my dad there on a regular basis.“

“As soon as I walked up to the counter, I got super friendly service. While I was trying to figure out what to get, the guy working offered me a sample and was really welcoming.
I ended up going with the Hawaiian pulled pork sandwich (not totally sure of the exact name on the menu, but you can't miss it). It was amazingly good. The bun paired so well with the pineapple and pulled pork, and you could tell all the ingredients were high quality.
The customer service was top-notch, too. The employee noticed where I was sitting and came over to open up the roll-out window so I could enjoy the nice weather, without me even having to ask. He even mentioned which local bakery they get their fresh buns from. I was super impressed and will definitely be back!“

“Straight up the best ribs I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned and the meat just falls from the bone.“

“We had the pulled pork and ribs; with collard greens and cornbread. The ribs were coated perfectly with the right amount of sauce and the meat was juicy and fell off the bone. Pulled pork was also delicious, but the ribs were my favorite. Great collard greens too! Reasonable prices as well for a hearty meal.“

“Food is really good. And karaoke is great. KJ Hot Toddy is great. Makes everyone feel welcome“

“I’ve been coming to eat here every week and its been some of my favorite food ever and good vibes.“

“My husband and I have been looking for a good barbecue spot for some time and this spot DELIVERED in every way. Their nachos (we got burnt ends as our meat) were some of the best, if not best, I’ve ever had and incredibly filling. Not like most restaurants where only the top chips get covered, they serve it on a tray so eeeeeeverything is smothered in the delicious cheese and toppings. Their Mac n cheese is incredible and I highly recommend too. I got the one meat platter (ribs) and was STUFFED. We will absolutely be coming back in the future!“

“Had the cashew/tofu/broccoli dish with brown rice. It was delicious! I make sure I stop there whenever I'm in Portland. Very friendly staff.“

“We always enjoy eating at Busters and have since they opened 40 years ago.“

“We had J&L cater our 130 person wedding with two choices of Meats and 3 sides. The whole process with them went so smoothly, they delivered our food timely and we received TONS of great reviews on the food. Their catfish was AMAZING and the corn bread and green beans with bacon were a hit. If I ever had to do another large event they will be number one choice. thank you guys so much for taking our wedding to the next level! Taylor and James Roberts“

“Perfect baby back ribs, okra and cornbread. Gotta come back soon to try somemore options.“

“Stopped here on our way to Eugene to move our daughter into U of O. Delicious food super friendly staff. Go Ducks!!!!!!“

“soooo good!! My favorites are the brisket and beef bulgogi. The steamed egg is also amazing. Like a tiny souffle! various condiments... i think next time I'll do a la carte of the meat portions. mostly because after two rounds of AYCE I'm overstuffed and no taking leftovers... can't wait to go back!“

“Incredible food, the ribs fall off the bone, the bbq sauce and sides were delicious. The portions are generous and the owner Seven was incredibly kind - felt like I was hanging with my family. You know it’s good when your chewing on the bone and you wish you wore stretchy pants😊Our new favorite BBQ spot in Portlandl“

“Big John can put a Smoked Meat extravaganza in front of you.
His Brisket, Ribs,Pulled pork and don’t forget the Mac and Cheese are simply amazing.
He has a great Food Truck outfitted for your event or follow him to locations that he is reserved for.
I was at an event last night and enjoyed everything that John and Leanna put on my plate.
I know there are several BBQ trucks throughout Portland but this one is a must go to.“

“I’ve been coming to JCD Korean BBQ for almost a year now, and I’ve loved it from the very first visit. The food is absolutely amazing, and even after trying other Korean BBQ restaurants, nothing compares to JCD. The quality, flavor, and overall experience keep us coming back every time.

What truly sets this place apart is the staff. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making every visit feel special. This was my second time celebrating my birthday here, and they went above and beyond by gifting me an awesome shirt, which made the experience even more memorable.

If you’re looking for incredible food and outstanding service, I can’t recommend JCD enough. We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“This place slaps. Never had a bad meal here and I’ve been here quite a few times. That beet salad is insane, and the fried chicken and fish are to die for.

One of Portland’s best food carts imo. Great spot to chill.“

“I have had BBQ across the United States and this is on the higher end. This is one of places I will go back to. Service is quick, prices are great and you can't beat the food. Only complaint I have is I like a finer chop and a tangy dressing. So I would give Hog Wild a 4 1/2 stars, great job guys.“

“This is one of my favorite places in Portland. Here is the review after over 2 years of dining here. They offer authentic Chinese Street BBQ which I couldn’t find back then. I like to order extra spicy, but I don't recommend it if you don't have a very high tolerance for spice. My must-order items are skewers (beef, pork belly, squid, chicken gizzard, chives, potato) and enoki beef aluminum box with rice vermicelli. Their oyster is pretty good too.

The service becomes more contactless as they develop but the tip suggestion starts from 18% doesn't make sense since there is very minimal service. Also you can't expect friendly service from a Chinese restaurant 😁

Overall, food is pretty good and I really want this business to be sustain.“

“This Food cart has the best wings around. Sweet and savory, crunchy and Flavorful. The Burgers are definitely different than anywhere I've had And amazing with cool city street choices! This is definitely a must go to spot! 10/10“

“Our company recently hosted its annual picnic, and for the second year in a row, we had Famous Dave's cater the event. We genuinely appreciated the team that contributed to making today’s experience feel friendly and family-oriented. The food was flavorful, warm, and absolutely amazing! If you're looking for an affordable catering option that offers a great experience, I highly recommend Famous Dave's!“

“So, I'll start by noting that Korean cuisine is not generally my first/favorite choice, but if friends or family want I'll go along.

However, this restaurant may have changed my mind.

As noted on the AI summary, service is attentive and the restaurant has tables and decor that can accommodate different occasions.

I'd never had cold pork belly before but it was delicious here. Their red pepper sauce is spicy without being overwhelming and was delicious on the tofu banchan as well as with the pork belly.

The fried lotus chips could be a good bar snack with soju or a nice first course. I didn't load up on the sauce but it was a slightly sweet garlic mayonnaise.

The barley tea here even seemed better (cleaner tasting somehow) compared to other area restaurants.“

“All you can eat Korean barbecue.“

“The food tasted great, but not all of it was hot or moist. The bbq chicken was really dry & cold. The bbq ribs were dry & not fall off the bone. They have two kinds of brisket moist or tender & the tender was dry, but the moist was delicious & tender. The beans were cold & not very good, but the cole slaw was delicious which is hard to find in a restaurant. You can order sandwiches if you want to eat light or a meat salad which some people did & said it was delicious. The French fries were hot & very nasty. A meal with a drink will cost you just over $20 a person, but you will leave full. The picture is my plate of moist brisket, cole slaw, French fries & the piece of bread you get. You pick your meat, two sides & it comes with bread.“

“100/10 This place is genuinely the best. The food is amazing and worth the price. I’ve been a customer for years and thought it was impossible for it to get any better but it DID! According to my husband the place looks spectacular and the owner is very kind. As for my meal, the spinach is as smooth as butter, the spinach meat pie is flaky and sooo decadent, the fufu is soft and easy to eat with my hands, and finally the sweet fried plantains melt in your mouth. I could go on forever, it’s an unforgettable experience every time🤌🏼“

“I had the tofu soup and the BBQ beef short ribs. I’m not sure if the flavors are completely authentic, but I really enjoyed everything. The tofu soup was rich, comforting, and full of flavor, and the BBQ beef short ribs were tender and delicious. The portions were generous, and the meal left me feeling very satisfied. I would definitely come back the next time I’m in the area.“

“I love leaving reviews when people deserve it and it stands out!!
Amazing small clean quiet place, service was amazing!
Received Service from a gentleman named Alex here today on Memorial Day and he was very professional and just amazing!
Place is very clean also had to mention!
Thank you again we enjoy it and will definitely come back!“

“This is a no frills kind of place. Just come for the food. The owner/staff is friendly. We ordered chow mien, gai lan, and veg fried rice. The fried rice was tasty. I didn't expect that from veggie fried rice. I will try and come back before we leave town.“

“excellent food. sauce is amazing. strongly recommended.“
