    Ordered on DoorDash it was great. Wish there was a little bit more stuff in the potato salad. There's no pickles or onions or anything, but I was impressed with the meat season to perfection cooked perfection definitely gonna probably try them tomorrow and get more stuff off the menu, not to mention Giving a cold soda was perfect. I only recommend adding more stuff to the sides maybe even some salt and forks for to go orders

    With a banner that says "Voted best BBQ" you'd think you'd want to hold up to that standard. Not here. We passed through town awhile back and always love to support local business. The interior was dirty. Carpet stained and desperately needs a refresh. The small menu didn't have much to offer because half of items were sold out... on a mid week afternoon. I was not impressed by the food either.

    The food here is way overpriced and very bland small portions. No fountain drinks. Crappy bbq sauce. Not coming back. Restruant was empty. Close this place down. Sorry..

    Combo 2.. I got kalua pork and pork ribs. Double mac salad...extra ribs on the side. Peace tea to top it off!  Da Kine!

    See all

    For 20 years I have gone to Porter Street BBQ, and most of the time it has been fine. The day…read morebefore a holiday in 2025, I ordered my usual. That time the chicken was extremely over cooked and dry. Instead of a holiday meal, I made chicken salad. Holidays are hard enough, but none of the deli places had any dark meet turkey, thus I got chicken instead. When I called to ask what happened to the chicken that person (end of 2025) said sorry, "it must have been left over." That is an honest answer. Mistakes happen. I get it. Fast forward to today. I got my order and got home to eat the wing and drum, and it was dried out and not moist like when it is properly cooked. Dipped in BBQ sauce it was ok. One thing I hate is dried out chicken. The thigh and breast were also extremely dried out. Obviously, it was overcooked. When I called in a very nice voice to ask how I can get it not dried out next time. The person Carie who said she was a supervisor, started making excuses and talking down to me in a bit of a condescending voice saying, "well it IS cooked on a BBQ grill outside." I said, "I know that. I have been coming there for many years." Then she started making some other lame excuse and this caused my temper to rise. JUST SAY YOU ARE SORRY. Shocked by this treatment I asked if she (CAREY) was really the supervisor and she said, "Do you want to talk to the owner?" and I said yes. She said loudly, "There is a very angry lady on the phone" and THAT MADE ME FURIOUS, so I hung up. SHE (CAREY) was the cause of my anger when I was talking nicely, and my voice was calm until she started making excuses. Perhaps, Carey needs to go to Supervisor Customer Service Training as I have been a supervisor, and I NEVER talk to customers in that way. Stick a fork in me as I am overdone.

    My family and I were driving down the coast and were going to be in Eureka for one night. We asked…read morethe front desk lady at our motel where we could get a good steak, and without hesitation she said Shamus T Bones. We looked at the reviews here on Yelp! and were a bit worried at the low overall rating. Well, rest assured, we had a good meal and enjoyed our visit. My wife had the filet mignon, while I ordered the rib eye. I asked our waitress about upgrading to the pricier dry aged rib eye, and she surprisingly talked me out of it saying the regular rib eye was really good. She was right. The combination of the grilling and the buttery sauce was delicious. It didn't need any additional sauce, but out of curiosity I tried the house sauce that was on the table, and it was quite nice. For some reason, they have a Tesla coil (from the original Tesla, not the car company) and they fired it off while we were there. They give plenty of notice before they do as it makes a loud sound and sparks fly about the device. It was interesting. So, if you're in town and looking for a good steak, give this place a try.

Boy have I been eating so unhealthy on this trip, but you know that because you are following. Is that part of the reason I am having so much fun? This did not disappoint. I did not think it was very spicy, but my daughter said it was too spicy for her. Good thing she ordered the mild version of garlic chicken; see below. Decent portions. Garlic Chicken - A more mild version of the above. But with rice and mac rather than fries. A slightly healthier version. Ahi Poke Bowl - My wife's choice. Generous portions, especially the tuna; thank you. Because this is raw, we "forced" ourselves to finish this dish first. So good. And to wash it down, supporting local, Sticky Finger IPA.

The first hiccup, was the restaurant is less than 10 minutes from our place, yet from the time I ordered to the time the food came, it was just under an hour. Plus, it was after lunchtime on a Saturday, which should've meant that the place should have been less busy That's a long wait for a short distance. The food itself was pretty good. My first order was the cod, fritters. The flavor was good. I could definitely taste the cod. What I didn't care for, was the texture. They were pretty gummy. I don't know if that's how they are supposed to be or not, but I was not a fan of the texture. They did come with a red sauce for dipping, but it was a bit too spicy for me. On the other end of the spectrum, however, was the curried goat, which I loved. I called ahead to ask if it was spicy, and they said, not really. And they were right. It wasn't really that spicy. It was a mellow spice that made my forehead sweat just a little bit, but well within what I like for spicy. The flavor itself was fantastic. The goat was bone in, but it was so tender. It was literally falling off the bone. Goat can be gamey, but this wasn't. It had a nice mellow flavor. There was also a gravy, which had a deep, rich flavor, and the rice had a good texture and a nice flavor also. It didn't taste like plain white rice. Overall, even with the delivery cost, the price was very reasonable. I would definitely order from here again, but the next time I would go into the restaurant instead of doing delivery. Also, while I liked the flavor of the cod, fritters, next time I would order something else. Thank you so much for an overall good meal.

Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. From the start, the person who helped us was rude and dismissive. I understand people have bad days, but her attitude was unacceptable. When I simply asked if they had cider, she laughed and caught an attitude. I requested a sample of a strawberry option they had on tap, and when I then asked to order that drink, she said, "I'm sorry, I can't possibly remember everyone's drink when I pour drinks all day." That comment was disrespectful and unnecessary. As a human being that works with the public, it's a no brainer to say that is not how you talk to people...perhaps something along the lines of "Remind me what that was again"....I could never imagine talking to people that way. The best part though, is that while charging us--despite saying she couldn't remember everyone's drink--she somehow remembered my husband's order just fine. The inconsistency and tone were frustrating and soured the entire visit. We only came to Eureka for this spot, and it turned into the worst birthday experience. I had hoped for a fun, friendly celebration, but the service made it anything but. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this location based on how we were treated.
