About Lawless Barbecue

Lawless Barbecue serves up delicious, tender, and flavorful meats that are expertly smoked to perfection. Their pulled pork sandwich is a highlight, featuring a perfect balance of flavors and textures, including house-made pickles. The brisket chili is tangy and tender, while the chicken fingers are crispy and paired with a delicious barbecue sauce. The Lawless Platter is a must-try, showcasing their house sausage, which is masterfully made with a coarse grind, great snap, and excellent seasoning. The smoked turkey breast is tender and goes well with the Alabama white sauce, and the potato salad is a great side dish with just the right amount of toppings and bacon bits. The BBQ beans are cooked perfectly, providing a smoky-sweet depth that complements the meats. Customers have enjoyed the burnt ends, finding them slightly more moist than the sliced brisket, which remains a satisfying option. The spare ribs are described as delicious and superbly flavored, while the sausage offers surprising spice that creates a delightful experience. Overall, Lawless Barbecue is a must-visit for barbecue lovers, known for its excellent portions and fair prices, along with a wide range of delicious meats and sides that are expertly prepared and presented. Visitors praise the great food and friendly service, noting that the barbecue is so good it’s easy to eat forever without feeling full. Many recommend returning soon, and some appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and reasonable prices. Although they no longer serve sweet tea, everything else is well-made and satisfying, making it a top choice for barbecue enthusiasts.

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.

I am sure I am not the first Kansas City transplant to fall in love with this place. Great BBQ. Worth the drive down from Ridgefield.

I've had Q all over this fine country...and this is the best so far....
