5 Best Barbecue Restaurants in Beaverton, Oregon to Try

Adjacent to Portland’s foodie mecca, Beaverton blends suburban comfort with a dash of culinary adventure.

Its barbecue scene is a lively mix of Texas-style low-and-slow temples and hip upstarts eager to put a Pacific Northwest twist on the classics.

Expect pit smoke mingling with craft beer, and menus that shine with both Southern staples and seasonal Oregon produce.

Smok’N Grill BBQ

A favorite for hearty portions and housemade rubs, Smok’N Grill shines with their Texas brisket—smoked for upwards of 12 hours—and meaty pork ribs.

Their sides, like jalapeno mac and cheese and honey-drizzled cornbread, are all house recipes, and there’s a tangy vinegar-based sauce that keeps locals coming back.

Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que of America

Part of a national chain, but this Beaverton outpost is especially beloved for its consistently tender ribs, big combo platters (perfect for sharing), and wild variety of barbecue sauces. It’s a great stop for groups, families, or anyone wanting to try a range of styles all under one roof.

Bark City BBQ

Started as a Portland food cart and now appearing regularly in Beaverton, Bark City is all about that craft smokehouse touch: impressive brisket, hot links, and burnt ends, served on compostable trays with sides like creamy slaw and pickled onions.

Their sauces—especially the mustard and the smoky-spicy—set them apart.

Pine Shed Ribs and Barbecue

A downhome, log-cabin-style spot with big, bold flavors.

Pine Shed specializes in St. Louis-style pork ribs, tender smoked chicken, and a jalapeño cheddar sausage that’s a must-try.

Sides are all made from scratch, with the potato salad and beans drawing as much praise as the meat.

Bubba’s Texas BBQ and Saloon

Bringing pure Lone Star spirit to the suburbs, Bubba’s serves up true Texas brisket, sausage, ribs, and even smoked turkey.

Their house BBQ sauce is thick and tangy, with a real kick. The bar, live music, and quirky cowboy decor make it a fun, friendly hangout.
