Not the same Porters. Went for lunch with a coworker that had never been and I doubt will return. I might but not until my memories of food poisoning wane. I tossed up my brisket and Mac and cheese about 4 hours after. Now to the critique, the restaurant was dirty, a big smear of BBQ sauce (I hope) on the front door and the sauce (mustard, my fav.) at the table was crusted at the dispensing tip and not appealing. The brisket was dry, not normal for porters and instead of the shells normally used in the gouda Mac they chose to use regular elbow pasta which doesn't quite hold the sauce and makes you feel like you're eating a slightly upgraded kraft Mac and cheese. The cheese inside the jalapeño poppers also not up to normal standards, seemed dry and perhaps just a day old or something. The kicker was that there was no sweet tea available which is perhaps my favorite part of eating at Porters. They did have a help wanted sign on the door and the staff were awesome and no issues there, just maybe they are understaffed like everywhere else but for the price of $25-30 per person just not worth it currently. There are better BBQ options in the Tri, but hopefully Porters can turn it around. I'll wait a couple months and report back after my next visit.

Spent $21 ordering a meal. And only got this slab of veins, fat, and not sure what else in a box. It was near closing. It was so gross looking. Threw it away. Whoever would sell this should be fired.

Worst place since fire was invented... to call what that was Food would be a compliment not deserved or earned. 200% GARBAGE and should have the health department close them down... or at least boycotted by every animal group they destroy in that place.!!!

Disappointing to say the least. Had brisket, mac and cheese and baked beans and a brioche bun. Brisket had no noticeable smoke ring and no discernable smoke flavor. Same can be said of the baked beans. Mac and cheese was runny and dispite having a strong taste of flour. The brioche bun was stale. Sub par meal at a premium price.

The food is great but at steep prices. Environment is good, usually quiet. Lots of parking. I think the reason I never see them very busy is due to the pricing though or I bet they'd be packed.
Super chill atmosphere. The food is really good. I haven't been able to get ahold of any smoked brisket that wasn't dry in a while. They have a great selection of food. The bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers were great. The Johnny sandwich and the gouda Mac n cheese also hit the spot.

Service was nice and quick so it should be as it was only me and my friend there. Food was overpriced and very average to say the least we had a Jonny's and a brisket both went in the bin $41 wasted. If your looking for quality reasonably priced and good portions you have to go to baby js across town much better BBQ experience

Porters in Richland-Great food but they run out of popular food items by 5pm, staff is not unfriendly but they do contribute to the somewhat negative dinning experiencePorters in Kennewick-Is a much better dinning experience all the way around and I've never seen them run out of food.

Great BBQ and the banana pudding is a real treat. The sweet tea is addicting. Update in the fall of 2023....I think they sold out? The Mac and cheese is no longer shells, but tastes the same. Are they cost cutting?

Porters has really good BBQ. Any protein available is cooked spot on. The sides are amazing, too, specifically, the gouda Mac n Cheese. The loaded baked potato is delicious and a new item, BBQ nachos! Sweet and tasty.
