Meatloaf sandwich is great; so-called 'burnt' cheese is really fried, crispy, and delicious!
by Sylvan
The brisket was awesome
by Brian W.
Hush puppies are extremely bland, but the pulled pork is amazing. Also, try a mixture of the mustard, and vinegar sauces on the brisket.
by Will K.
Baby pork ribs tasted amazing. Home made ice cream really recommended!
by Chesco P
The brisket and the meaty beans. Mmmm
by Jeremy R
Meat was good but was disappointed with the sides
by Paula C
Ribs were like jerky. No bueno

Tofu! Mustard sauce!
by Isaac Overacker
Brisket and sauce were great, all types of ribs were dry, mashed potato was bland, and SAVE space for the yummiest banana pudding!
by Maina K
Brisket has a nice flavor and texture. Opt for what they call the leaner of the two choices. The marbled one is just too marbled.
by Robert L.
👎 too dry.
by AD N.

the medium sauce with the pulled pork is perfect, full of flavor but not too spicy.

Cant go wrong with pimento cheese. Oh yea and the mashers are sublime!
by Jennifer B.
The Long Island is $$, but packs a serious punch.
by KC
The smoked brisket platter is divine! Get it with the classic sauce and ask for extra onions and pickles. The mac and cheese and their fries are delicious too!
by hannah k.
Saturday night's special (Smoked Salt & Pepper Lamb Ribs) = WIN
by Chaz D.
Mix some derby mustard sauce into your side of mac n cheese - two great tastes that taste great together! The house infused cocktails are a must. One of my fave PDX spots.
by Sea_Salt_77
Great food and good beers on tap! The derby mustard sauce is delicious
by Mike C.
Get the classic sauce in your meal and the spicy sauce on the side for dippin'
by Justin M.
Being from Austin, this place rocks! Pulled pork, killer sauce, meaty beans,
by Jon W.
Kids love the mac and cheese here, get a side order instead of the kids meal. Its cheaper and you get more, plus you hold the fries.
by Jeremy K.
add derby mustard to your classic, kind, or killer BBQ. you will love it. and ask them to put both on your BBQ.
by Matthew B.
If meatapalooza scares you, try the pulled pork sandwich. Like it spicy? Go with killer.
by Rick T.
