14 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Tualatin

“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!“

“We’ve been wanting to try this place for a couple months now and finally made it in. The owner was super friendly and the food was delish! There’s a handful of options available, and they have a bunch of sauces to pick from. I got the Maui Girl plate. I definitely recommend!“

“I have always loved this place and it's hard to be too disappointed. The food today surprisingly wasn't as good as usual. The spam was burned on one side and uncooked on the other and the orange chicken was dry and chewy. Ultimately I still love this spot and I like the location.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Darn Delicious BBQ & the ribs, Holy Hell the best I've had in a long while and may I say , HUGE! Everything was great, got reeled in with a sample and we made our choice ! Thanks girl behind counter and nice gentlemen cooking.. chef's 💋..“

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

“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.“

“Freshly-prepared dishes, large menu with plenty of variety, great portion sizes. On the pricier side for fresh/fast Korean at about $17-20.per dish. We ordered 4 things to share, a side of rice, and two Cokes which came to $85 and change, including tip.

I really enjoyed the Korean-style deep fried whole chicken, which was smaller than the average hen you get at the market. This was closer to the size of a very large Cornish game hen, and perfectly cooked with the lightest, crispiest crunch on the exterior. It didn't come with rice, so I ordered a side. It does come with a nice pickled radish, a dressed, shredded cabbage slaw, and two enhancements: fine salt/pepper blend, and a sweet, spicy chile sauce. I'll definitely be back for this chicken again. Delicious. 5/5

My friend ordered the pork katsu with cheese over steamed rice, which came with slaw and mac salad. I thought this just ok. The batter was a little thick and, although everything was served hot, biting into the pork was a bit tough as it was on the chewy side. It might have been re-fried after being prepared earlier. This is usually fine, if done properly. The cheese was generous and good. A little salt and a spot of Katsu sauce was the perfect complement. 3/5

We also shared the Rose Toekkbokki, which comes with soft, chewy rice cakes, fish cake strips, thinly-sliced hot dog, tofu squares, green onion, and a weird addition a small amount of iceburg lettuce-I removed it because it was wilted and added nothing. Oh, and a hard-boiled egg (it was chalky, unfortunately.) The sauce was creamy and mild, with the tiniest hint of heat from the gochujong. It was good, but I've had better versions of this dish, including my own. Worth a try if you've never had toekkbokki before. 3/5

Finally, I ordered the japchae with thinly sliced beef and cabbage to go. Although there wasn't much protein, the noodles were flavorful and prepared well. I love japchae, so I'll enjoy this with an egg and some smokey beef rib at home later. 4/5

The atmosphere was cozy on a rainy day in the PNW. It felt like a home kitchen. Service was fair. Our server greeted us immediately, and we were seated with water right away. She gave us plenty of time to decide, and then quickly took our orders. There was only one server(also the hostess) who appeared to be a little overwhelmed, but that's to be expected pretty much anywhere these days. It felt like a mom and pop restaurant with their daughter doing the greet, seat, and table service, including bussing. Despite the hefty price tag for lunch, I made sure to tip well.

I'd like to visit again and try some other dishes, but price is a factor. That said, this might be a better place for a group of 4 or 6 people. That way, everyone can pitch in and try different dishes, which makes it fun and more affordable.“
