I feel like most BBQ places do one or two things well, while one or two things are just okay. That…read morewas NOT my takeaway from Bottos. After reading the great reviews, I'd wanted to get over there, and I'm glad I finally did. The ribs were perfect, the pulled pork was as good as I've ever had. When the brisket is solid but the least exciting bite, you've got a great platter. The mac and cheese side is excellent. I loved the slaw, though I'd skip it next time due to more onion than I'm cool with. Sauces are okay, but would love a spicy option. Honestly, none of the meat begged for extra sauce, I just love sauce. Seating was limited and the place is pretty small, so probably hit and miss during peak hours. Loved the food. Will return.

Absolutely incredible BBQ--must try!…read more OK, so first off, the service was amazing. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and they'll bring the food right to you. Heads up--this isn't a fancy or romantic date-night type of place, but trust me, the food more than makes up for it. We ordered the pastrami brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, and spicy sausage--all delicious. The spicy macaroni and cheese? Oh baby. Probably the best spicy mac & cheese I've ever had. We also had the stew (delicious), and even the baked beans -- which I normally don't like -- were delicious. And of course, the ribs were tender, smoky, and delicious too. The whole place smells like real deal slow-smoked barbecue, and every bite proved it. A delightfully delicious spot from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!

I didn't expect to find good BBQ outside of the south, but this was a pleasant surprise!…read moreAnd honestly, it shouldn't come as a surprise because the food in Portland is some of the best in the country. IMO. This BBQ is Kansas City style, so the sauce is a bit sweeter. We got the brisket, the chicken wings, and sides. We couldn't decide if on the sauce for the wings, so we got all 3 on the side. The Alabama white sauce was A+ The brisket was perfectly tender. It had great flavor and marbling. The wings are full wings with the drummette attached. That's the way to do it! They are smoked and then fried. They got the crisp just right. Let's talk about sides! We got the collard greens, coleslaw, and baked beans. They were all FANTASTIC! The coleslaw is a vinegar coleslaw, which I love. It wasn't the sweet mayonnaise style that most people don't enjoy. It was so good! The collard greens were perfectly flavored and tender! I couldn't have done better myself. The beans were sweet but also savory. Not super sweet, which makes me happy. Very well balanced. The server was super friendly and nice. She explained everything to us and made sure we were happy. They have a bar with various beers. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual but perfect for BBQ. Highly recommend you try this spot!

Turkey was dry, the sausage was a little too soft for my liking and the ribs were tender and had good flavor. The bbq cause was good and I am a fan of their Alabama barbecue. It's hard to find Bama sauce. As sides I got the baked beans and the macaroni. Not my favorite. The baked beans were tasted kind of like tomato sauce and I'm more of a brown sugar molasses kind of gal. The macaroni was not that great. Kind of dry and bland. The service was great. They were very nice.

By far my favorite so far. The ribs remind me of the ribs back home in Oakland, specifically, it reminds me of a spot called Flints. The meat here is cooked to perfection. Flavor, tenderness, all really good. I did find my brisket a bit on the salty side, but hoping I just got one that was given a little more salt love than the usual. I'll be going back to try more for sure.

And also some sides, potato salad, baked beans, and cole slaw. I liked the Brisket, very tender, but not so much of the ribs, nor the sauce. I thought, it was too dry! I like my ribs, falling off the from the bone. This was not one of those. The cole slaw, very unusual, I didn't like the fat thick part of the cabbage, and I got lots of them! The beans were nice & tasty. I didn't care for the sliced pickles, they were spicy, and gave them to hubby. I was tempted to order the chocolate banana pudding, but maybe the next time, if we buy from them again. His order was taken promptly. The wait was about 10 minutes. I was disappointed, that there were no green, I always like my BBQ with Collard Greens. Maybe, they should add them to their menu.

My friend and I ordered off both the HH menu and the reg menu. From the HH menu, we shared the deviled eggs w burnt ends, which I highly recommend. I then got just a $3 single St. Louis-Style Smoked Pork Rib (which came out as 1.5 ribs! YAY) and a crunchy Fried Chicken Slider on a butter toasted bun. The buttery bun is unique and that slider was my fave thing of all. I then got the Reverend burger with the mac n cheese from the reg menu. The burger was an excellent umami bomb, but the creamy mac n cheese with crunchy chips stood out even more (probably my 2nd fave thing, tied w the deviled eggs).

Truth be told, though, I was so hungry that I went with the same thing my son ordered, which was The Arnold - a 1/2# of brisket, a side and a corn muffin. We both chose mac 'n cheese as our side and I gobbled it right up, along with the corn muffin. We were very impressed with how tasty and tender the brisket was - and that sauce? Holy BBQ sauce! What a delicious sauce! Uncle Earl is delightfully charming, serving up a big huge smile along with his food. He personally delivered our meals to our table inside the building and insisted on taking a picture with all of us. He is wonderfully happy and his laugh is so infectious! Not only is his food fabulous, his presence makes the entire day that much better. Oh yeah, he even had doggie treats for Penelope, the little pug we had with us. I can't wait to go back and try something else from his menu; I'm sure everything is beyond delicious! I'm thinking it might be hard to pick something other than that brisket because it has to be the best brisket ever but I'm sure gonna try!
