The One
So-so. I love the fact that they smoke their fried chicken before frying it but they use thigh meat instead of breast meat and ruins a great opportunity at something that could be really great. It also didn’t help the flavor profile that everything seemed to be seasoned in the same exact spices. If you have an adventurous palate this isn’t the place for you. The lamb was acceptable and the beef brisket tasted quality. They also have “fresh” lemonade that comes in a tiny glass filled with ice that can only be refilled once. It was pretty cold in there as well. The cook and the employee at the register were both polite and the Mac & cheese was better that I was expecting being that it was stovetop, that’s why I’m giving it a 3.

Cool neighborhood bar-b-que place. We tried the smoked lamb, smoked pork shoulder and brisket. All of the meats were very tasty. The sides: potato salad, maccaroni salad and corn bread and pork rinds were good. Nice draft beers to wash it all down with. We were there for happy hour, so we got our plates for $6 and the beers for $3! It’s an order at the counter and bus your own table kind of place, with a cool atmosphere.

By far one of the best BBQ joints in Portland! My husband votes for it to be #1! I can see why it one of the nation’s best Smoked Fried Chicken sandwiches. The chicken is juicy and incredibly tasty! The ribs had a great smoke and I loved the BBQ sauces. Cornbread and potato salad are also worth trying. I can’t wait to come back and try out a few other things!

The smoked fried chicken was definitely the highlight! Brisket was on the dry side, and the barbeque sauce was… different (vinegary and heavily spiced with cumin, I think?). But the cornbread was good and came drizzled with honey, and the pepper jelly was pretty great.

This place is super legit… I got the smoked deep fried chicken sandwich which was excellent. My girlfriend got the brisket sandwich which I ended up waking up a few times in the middle of the night wishing I got that sandwich… Next time for sure!!! For sides we had some super cheesy mac and cheese and potato salad, both were excellent. Their draft beer was phenomenal, I had the Amber..

So good. Stopped on the way to airport out and got two meat and side plate. Huge portions. Brisket is delicious. Sausage was good, little dry. Mac and cheese amazing. Best bbq in Portland.

Best BBQ I’ve had in a looooooong time, and that includes stops in Texas. The smoked fried chicken took me to a different planet. Brisket was fantastic as well. The plates here are BIG, so come hungry!

We wanted authentic American food and that’s what we got. It was really good and the meat was so tender. We could taste the experienced hands in our food.

What a hidden gem of a place this was. The guys were so polite and you can tell they care about what they do and the community they serve. Food was insane and the vibe of the outdoor seating area was on point. Can’t wait to go back.
