The 40+ minute road trip from Portland to Storrs Smokehouse is a minor deterrence for those of us that love barbecue. But this yellow brick road doesn’t lead to a happy place. You might just want to stay home. Rating 2.5 / 5.0

A longtime resident of the Portland barbecue scene, Clay’s Smokehouse is back after a brief hiatus due to relocation problems. The real question is whether the barbecue at Clay’s delights or disappoints. Rating 2.5 / 5.0

Sometimes good things can be found in unexpected places. In this case, it’s delicious barbecue at Smokehouse Tavern buried in a nondescript strip mall off SE Morrison. If you find yourself in the area, stop in to satisfy your barbecue cravings. Check out my review for more details. Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

Scoring an impressive 4.5 stars on Yelp, Road Runner Barbeque reads like a top notch Portland barbecue joint, but this story has a bad ending. Rating: 1.5 / 5.0

Looking for a local Portland butcher shop, deli, and barbecue joint all rolled into one? Block & Board is the answer, but if you go for the barbecue, ask them to hold the sauce. Read on for more. Rating: 2.5 / 5.0

Bark City BBQ is entering the Portland barbecue scene with a bang. Already producing good BBQ, with a few tweaks, Bark City could be a contender for the best barbecue in Portland. Check out my review for more details. Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

Reverend’s BBQ has been slingin’ smoked meat from the heart of the Sellwood area in Portland since 2014. I’m checking them out as part of the Portland BBQ Tour to see if their barbecue is on the level with the likes of Matt’s BBQ and Podnah’s. Check out my review more. Rating: 3.0 / 5.0

From humble beginnings as a food cart, The People’s Pig has grown into a brick & mortar with two locations in Portland.  I’ve heard they put out a decent plate of barbecue and people rave about the fried smoked chicken.  All this talk has earned the Pig a spot on the Portland BBQ Tour.
