32 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Portland

“From our nine year old: Amazing service and great mocktails! We went during the make your own Gimbap and it was absolutely amazing!!“

“Came here for lunch and made me a forever fan of the brisket tacos. In my over 50 years of life I have never tasted anything that comes close to these tacos! AMAZINGLY PERFECT!! They nailed it!!“

“This place has the best Texas style brisket of any bbq place I have tried in PDX. A great find!!“

“Wow, that’s some good BBQ. My band loved it!“

“We ordered 2 pho orders togo. Prices are good, portions are good, pho broth is good, place is clean and friendly staff. The only thing that I really wish that was better was the brisket, it was thin, dry and tough also the tendon was a little tough compared to Pho Hung and Pho Oregon, it usually melts in your mouth. I would of gave it a 5 stars if the meat was tender. If the chef could work on not overcooking the meat then this would be my go to spot.“

“Everything was delicious!!“

“Excellent service and the best food!“

“If you’re curious about Portland’s BBQ scene, this place does not disappoint. The brisket and pulled pork are heavy hitters, but the real winner is their BBQ tacos.

It beats Matts BBQ tacos at great notion by a country mile. Wonderboy could have taken a similar route and been just as basic with their take on tacos + BBQ, but whatever genius lives behind WONDERBOY’s food truck went bold with their tacos and delivered an exceptional dose of culinary creativity leaving you wondering WTF you just ate, and how the hell they managed to make the best taco the world has ever seen.

If I you’re looking for basic tacos, go to LA, if you’re looking for basic BBQ, go to Matts, if you want your mouth to go on a magical journey that pairs tortillas, crispy cheese crust, pickled everything with meat good enough for the gods, go here.“

“We ordered delivery this morning! Shrimp and grits were outstanding, a side of oysters cooked to perfection! Fried chicken and biscuits and gravy, best ever I heard!“

“Definitely delicious BBQ!“

“To the guy working the night of Tuesday, August 26:

You gave me two large soft serves COVERED with Frosted Flakes. I order this delicious treat from Hunker Down often, but this one was special. The amount of care taken to put Frosted Flakes on the bottom of the cup before the first layer of ice cream, then on top of that layer, then on top of the next layer of ice cream was heroic.

Thank you for your service. And for the ice cream.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“4.5 stars. Food was delicious and flavorful. We loved the chili oil too. Singapore noodles had a large portion. We also got egg noodle with pork and duck. Both meats were so tasty. Only complaint is that the duck meat was half cold and half warm“

“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:-)“

The customer service alone is worth the visit, but the food is awesome too. I haven't found good brisket in Portland until this place! Stoked to find this place for a nice convo and delish meal.“

“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“

“Came here for brunch on a Sunday and got a table right away so already doing good. I got the poutine and partner got the Blink pancakes. The pancakes were alright but the poutine was great. Always nice to get decent BBQ and the brisket on the poutine hit the spot. The poached eggs and fries were equally awesome too. I'll be back to try the dinner menu for sure and see if the BBQ holds up.“

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

“first time here and i absolutely loved it!! i ordered takeout but when i went in to pick it up, the atmosphere was super warm and cozy. the food was hot, fresh, and delicious. i got the brisket with mild bbq, pork spare ribs with sweet bbq, mash potatoes and coleslaw. the mash potatoes were warm and the gravy was the perfect amount of savory. the coleslaw had just the right amount of sweetness, and the meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection. i will definitely be back!“
