Botto’s BBQ

John Deodato

There are a number of place in PDX to get good barbeque, but Botto's is definitely near the top of the list. Their pulled pork was fantastic, and some really good sides. Need to return when they're brisket is not sold out! Give this place a try.

I’ve eaten here twice. I wasn’t disappointed either time. Coming from the south, my brisket palette is well developed. After trying brisket at 6 other BBQ joints around town that were more expensive with modern decor to the 9’s, this is the only place I enjoyed smoked sliced brisket. Also, when you see a crew of firefighters all eating together, then you know it’s good. I will continue to support this goodness.

OMG, been looking for a decent BBQ ever since I moved here. This place, does not disappoint. Cooked to perfection and paired with a great collection of pickled veg that let's ya keep it clean between bites. Slaw nice and creamy but with a vinegar bite! Service matched the food. Will be back. Think I'm full of it, look at that pic.

This paragraph added 3/4/22: Botto's BBQ is the best BBQ in Portland. This was a tough decision to make because I've only been here 4x in 3 weeks but it's very clear. I've also now tried the Mac, Yams and Greens, and Cauliflower Broccoli side. All incredible. I got beef ribs for dinner but ordered the BBQ Parfait as a snack w/ Brisket and Baked Mac and Cheese. I haven't had a flavor explosion like this in months. I don't really have words to describe exactly how the BBQ Parfait tastes but I can tell you that there's nothing like it that I've experienced. If you're considering BBQ, detour and come here instead. Seriously. (Original review from 2/14/22) Just...Trust this review. Google tells me that people read my reviews and the scale tells me that I enjoy food. I came into this place as a partnership suggestion from Wolf's Head BBQ in Beaverton. I didn't expect the brisket and burnt ends to be as good as they were. The brisket is even juicy after being refrigerated and reheated. It's sliced, which makes me realize I prefer it over chopped brisket. The pork belly burnt ends (Saturday special, I think) are amazing. They have a ton of flavor and are fatty, but nobody cuts the fat off of burnt ends lol. On Sunday, I saw that they had Brisket Burnt Ends. Cooked perfectly, and less fatty than the PB Burnt Ends. I also got a Beef Rib. $29 a lb seems expensive until you realize it's enough meat to eat and get full off of and still have enough left over for another meal or serving. I haven't tried the sides or desserts, yet. But I meant you with this: all of the food has been top-tier BBQ so far. They have 3 sauces: spicy white BBQ, Texas BBQ, and Tamarind BBQ sauce. The Tamarind is something unlike any other sauce I've had and I think it's my favorite. But I'm assuming it's made fresh because it tasted different on the days I went. The first day, it was the best by far. The next day when I went, the Texas BBQ sauce was my favorite. If you like smokey flavor, this BBQ joint is absolutely the place to go in SE Portland. Edit because I forgot: pickling of the pickles, onions, and jalapenos are the best I've ever had. Anywhere. I ordered extras on day 2 so I can snack on them.
