Russell Street Bar.b.que

Omg what can I say about this place other than you have to go here. There was a local event happening and we had to wait over an hour and a half to get seated because it was so crowded. We almost left but really wanted BBQ so we stuck it out - it was worth the wait. The food was so good and juicy. The staff was great. If you’re in the area this is a must eat place.

Excellent BBQ place. This place does not get enough credit compared to other places yet I would say it is one of the best BBQ I've had in Portland, better than podnah. Their sides were also very tasty and their sauces are excellent. Overall would definitely go there when craving BBQ. Also there's parking in the back of street parking is a problem!

As a born and bred Texan, I am picky about my barbecue. I stopped in at Russell St on a business trip and I was blown away by the quality of their food. Their classic sauce is one of the best I've had. Their brisket was mouth watering and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were creamy and fluffy; the Mac and cheese was generous. I finished my plate and just when I thought it couldn't get better..... They brought me my "deep fried pie" with chocolate hazelnut filling. Holy cow. Game changer. I love this place. Definitely returning.
