Southern Smoke Bbq

This is the REAL DEAL! Amazing southern style BBQ, super generous helpings and friendly proprietor. The Ghetto Gourmet is going places.

I've been around the country a lot and this is one of the best places to get a BBQ in Portland. This guy isn't just a great chef, he's good people. He'll talk to you while cooking up the food and have an actual conversation. I found this place randomly while visiting from Utah, now I live here and I will keep going here till he moves away or I can no longer drive to where he's parked. Much love!

The pulled pork sandwich is awesome, best I've had in a long time. Smoky, sweet, savory, rich and satisfying. The owner is really nice. I mentioned how good the ribs looked and he sliced off a generous rib as a "snack". It was also delicious! I'll be back for sure.
