Alright BBQ fans, it’s that time again for me to turn you on to some more killer PNW BBQ. This time, we are following the river down to Portland, where 3 BBQ spots are hailed as top places for some serious OG Texas BBQ. Texas Monthly’s barbecue editor, Daniel Vaughn, gave well-deserved recognition to some standout spots in Portland and Hood River. Here’s a quick recap of the three Oregon restaurants that made his top 53 list: Swampys BBQ Lodge Production loading… Swampys BBQ Grasslands Barbecue Grasslands Barbecue in Hood River was praised for its brisket, which Vaughn says could easily hold its own in Texas. Their chile and cheddar sausage also made an impression, along with freshly prepared side dishes like mac and cheese and Tex-Mex slaw.
Vaughn also praised the restaurant’s commitment to using local ingredients, sourcing its meats from a nearby butcher shop. The restaurant’s menu features a variety of classic BBQ dishes, including pulled pork, smoked chicken, and ribs. They also offer a selection of sides, such as mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans. Bark City BBQ’s commitment to quality and local sourcing is evident in its use of local ingredients, including its meats, vegetables, and even its sauces. The restaurant sources its meats from a nearby butcher shop, and its vegetables are sourced from local farms.
The fact that Vaughn praised these spots is a pretty big deal and a huge win for PNW BBQ.
