My experience was unacceptable from start to finish and reflected a complete failure in both…read morecustomer service and management oversight. After placing my food order, I waited approximately 42 minutes and received nothing. During that time, I observed the cook outside smoking and drinking with guests while paying customers continued waiting for their orders. At that point, I requested a refund because it was obvious that serving customers was not a priority. The situation became even worse when the bartender attempted to process the refund. She was unable to print a refund receipt and, after I mentioned that I was familiar with the Toast system, actually asked me to come behind the bar and process the refund myself. Asking a customer to do an employee's job because staff do not know how to perform basic functions is beyond unprofessional. I then discovered that I had been charged for five drinks despite consuming only two. When I pointed this out, the bartender's response was that she "didn't know" because she had just started her shift. That answer is completely unacceptable. If your staff cannot accurately account for what customers are being charged, that is a serious operational problem and raises legitimate concerns about billing practices. As a property manager located nearby, I have spent years recommending your establishment to residents and visitors. Under the previous ownership, I regularly supported and promoted your business with you all providing me $20 gift cards to my new residents because it provided a positive experience. Unfortunately, based on what I witnessed during this visit, I can no longer do so in good conscience. Watching staff socialize and drink while customers wait nearly an hour for food, being overcharged for drinks I never consumed, and then being asked to process my own refund is one of the most unprofessional experiences I have had at any bar or restaurant.

Great seating options inside, outside in the front and outside on the side with a fireplace. Garage door type of window on the side, so you can sit at the bar top and still be outside!

I came on a Thursday at 5:30pm, street parking, but plenty, and the place wasn't busy, but there were a couple handfuls of people inside, and of all ages!

The blahaj blast didn't taste reminiscent of taco bell's baja blast, but it was still delicious! We enjoyed the vanilla sky as well. For food we ordered the queso burger and the crunchwrap. As a big fan of taco bell's crunchwrap, I was super pleased with their rendition! It was a great size and filled with a lot of meat which I appreciated. Felt like I was eating a more elevated version and was super tasty. We also really the queso burger. the queso was soooo tasty and the burger itself was delicious. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place!

In 2021 I made my first trek to Austin to go on a brisket crawl of all the top places. I had never…read moreheard of La Barbecue at the time, but after a few days there I kept hearing good things about it and readjusted my plans in order to get a meal there. I tried 2-3 times to dine there and each time they were either closed our out of food, so I was super bummed. I was ecstatic to hear that they were opening up Lil Barbecue here in Portland as a sister restaurant. I had high expectations given their Michelin pedigree, but also expected the possibility of new restaurant growing pains too. I opted for 1/2 brisket, side of mac and cheese, pickled red onions, and banana pudding. The brisket was fantastic! I was excited to see how big and thick the slice of brisket was and that it was from the fatty point. The brisket shattered the benchmark set by the other bbq restaurants in town and stands in a tier all by itself IMO. I felt like it was as good as some of the better places I've had in Austin and Dallas (easily better than Terry Blacks). I have a love/hate relationship with banana pudding. Most of the time it's just average...average is fine/good but it's easily forgettable. Lil Barbecue's banana pudding was anything but average/fine/good...it was God Tier! I infrequently eat banana pudding so my memory might not be the best, but it really felt like this was the best banana pudding I have ever had in my life and it is not to be missed here. It tasted "real" without being too artificially flavored with banana, not too rich, not to sweet, and even had slices of real banana in it alongside Nilla Wafers. It was perfect! Ordering was counter service up at the bar and with these types of places service usually takes a back seat. I was surprised to learn that this wasn't the case, in fact this is probably the most attentive staff when it comes to counter service I've had in Portland. At best most places would just visit your table 1-2 times max, but here I want to say 4 different staff members passed by my table maybe 6+ times and one of them went above and beyond to address my issue that I didn't expect. Bravo!
