Botto's Craft BBQ

This food is killer! Best BBQ I've ever had. The price is more than I typically like to spend, but quality meat is just not cheap and this stuff is QUALITY. My personal favorites are the pork belly burnt ends and the brisket burnt ends. Each of those items are only available one day per week so check their specials to see availability on those.The brisket and pork ribs are also outstanding. Highly recommend.For sides, I'd go with the Mac n cheese. The jalapeño poppers were great too!The Cole slaw was very basic. Nothing special. But I'm not really that into Cole slaw and I go to Botto's for meat, not salad. The place it's self is kind of a bust. Minimal, worn out and dated. But I'm happy to pay for quality of food instead of renovations. We just order take out.Last time I had it, I had a big order. They shorted me three jalapeño poppers but when I called in, the guy was super respectful, and refunded my money. No problem. It was a bummer, but mistakes happen and they cleaned it up well.Again, this food is outstanding. I wish it were cheaper, but I can't reasonably expect food like this to be much cheaper than it is, all things considered. More...

I stumbled upon their Yelp page when I was looking for "Hot and New" restaurants. The food looked pretty good so I decided to give this place a try. To my surprise, I REALLY like the food!!! When I arrived, I realized that they took over the old Pok Pok wing location. They have their own parking lot and a locked porta potty if you need to use it. There were tables inside and outdoor table as well. It was raining really hard when I went, so no one was sitting outside. We ordered 3 meat tray with 2 sides: the regular brisket, pastrami brisket, slab spareribs, potato salad and spicy Mac. My favorite was the Pastrami Brisket, but all of the other items I tried were delicious as well! There's a few items I will have to go on the weekend to try since they look amazing!!! More...

Portland has had a BBQ problem, there's been no good BBQ. I was raised on The best BBQ across the south, so I can be picky. Well, BOTTO's fixed that problem. I called in to pick up on my way home, and they had it hot and ready when I got there. I'm not a fan of the regular Mac and cheese, but I'm a huge fan of the spicy Mac! That's just a personal spice preference, I'm sure others disagree. The ribs fell off the bone and the brisket was delicious. It's definitely my new go to for BBQ. I'll be taking my BBQing Texan neighbors for their opinion soon. He's skeptical, but I'm certain he'll be happy. More...

I'm updating my previous review. As I said in the last one; this is hands down the best BBQ in Oregon. Good BBQ should never require sauce. Botto's requires absolutely zero. It's perfect on its own. I did have a very poor customer service experience the last time I was there. Management got ahold of me and promised to do better. Hence why I've changed my review. I look forward to going back for many more plates More...

OK. So I have been wanting to come here since they had a food cart but I am happy that they did well to take over Pok Pok Wing's old building.  This is my new favorite BBQ  spot in Portland.  They have great brisket and they ask if you want the fatty part or lean. I got the fatty. For juiciest. Their sausages are all good and also great sides. I need to return here for their ribs on Friday. More...

Overrated compared to a number of other BBQ joints that I've been to. Now, they were out of ribs and sausage (at 33OPM) which suggested excellent meat or not enough planning to anticipate orders; and, ribs would be the dominant meat most people order.  I suspect the latter.  So, tried a very fatty pulled pork and one slice of brisket served with a runny Mac & cheese and a potato salad that lacked a solid seasoning.  (Salt, pepper, mustard??)Desert consisted of a doughy choc chip cookie and a crack pie that was okay. I know meat prices have gone up but $30 per person is a little spendy although that did include dessert and soft drink.  May come back to try the ribs but not any time soon. More...

My buddy's father-in-law ordered a ton of Botto's meat for our 4th of July Party this summer. It was NEXT LEVEL! For me, it doesn't get much better than some savory juicy smoked brisket, and that's exactly what this was. We had smoked brisket, pork ribs, and smoked brisket burned ends. All of it was outstanding. Savory, juicy, and tender. Can't wait to have it again. More...

Best BBQ I've had in a while. We had the Meat Feed Bag/Platter/Meal - 1 rack of ribs (just a step from falling off the bone - how I like it). 1 lb pulled pork, so flavorful, and not dry at all. This is often times what I have to smother with BBQ sauce. Brisket Pastrami - no words all drooling - also no issue with the "lean" part of the brisket being dry which is often times an issue. Mac and Cheese and Tater Salad were stand out. The only thing I'd jab them for is the BBQ sauce. You don't really need to use it, and we got 3 small side containers of it! I would like to see a more vinegeary based one since everything was so rich and not dry, tons of the fat which you need!!! More...

Best BBQ in Portland, hands down. Must try the brisket (reg & pastrami) + house-made sausages + sides + desserts. Ribs, Turkey and pulled pork all very good too. They have daily specials that are equally fantastic.Can't say anything bad about this place, except for sometimes they can be understaffed & the wait can add up. But it's definitely worth it IMO More...

We ordered online for pickup, arrived at the time we picked and they went to work carving it up and getting it ready. While we waited they let us sample some burnt ends and OMG it was good!!!! When we told her why we were having bbq then even tossed in a couple cookies!!! We did the family special with brisket, ribs, pulled pork and four sides. I added the jalapeño poppers and some sausages. It was all INCREDIBLE! There was so much food! The ribs were to die for. The brisket melted in your mouth. The pulled pork had amazing flavor.

Having a party is always stressful. Do you have enough chips? Is it too hot?. How is the playlist? Do you have enough drinks?  Thankfully when you order BBQ from Bottos you don't HAVE to worry about the food.  We had a gathering for approximately 20 people and wanted to make sure that the food was perfect. Of course we turned to my favorite barbecue place.They were super easy to deal with when placing a large order. I showed up at the time they told me it would be ready, they were slicing it up as I got there. And it was the hit of the party!  Normally, turkey is usually just OK. I have never found anything special about turkey. It is safe and most people like it. However, the turkey from Bottos was incredible! It was so soft and tender with such a wonderful taste.  Then there was the brisket. Oh my! That was absolutely incredible. When the night ended 20 people had devoured all of the food we had gotten from Bottos. I can't wait for the next excuse to get some Bottos. More...

The beef brisket is so tender and smoky. The coleslaw is just acidic enough to cut through the heavy yet creamy mac and cheese. Pickled onions and peppers light up my taste buds.

Friendly staff and cute place (it gets really hot when it's sunny, though). I've only been once. I got the parfait - a staff fav. It's choose your meat and Mac n cheese type (spicy or regular). I got spicy Mac and brisket. It was delicious but hella rich so I could only eat half of it. I, sadly, had acid reflux all night (this only happens once a yr when I eat super fatty food so beware if that's you, too) -- it's not their fault...I just didn't realize!!! Lol. I also got a chocolate chip cookie recommended by the cashier. It was really good ..my partner ate half (he's picky af when it comes to sweets so you know it was good.

Best. BBQ. In. Portland. Full stop. I love barbecue. Absolutely love it! We have been looking for a good barbecue joint ever since we moved to Portland almost 2 years ago.  We had been told that it was Reverend's and after three different attempts, never really enjoyed our experience there.  Imagine my excitement when we tried Bottos!  Now, it doesn't look like much from the outside but looks are deceiving. The stuff inside is magical.  I had the three meat and two sides platter. For my meats it was fatty brisket, pulled pork, and spareribs. For the sides, I had baked beans and mac &amp; cheese.Let's talk about the sides first. Most the time when you get baked beans from a joint they are a little more than what you would expect if you open a can at home.  Not here! These were baked beans done right. They were a bit smoky, a bit tangy, had some nice flavoring to them, and they weren't too sweet.  Then we get to the Mac and cheese. This side is easily one of those sides that is often abused at restaurants. Most the time when you get a side of macaroni and cheese it is some limp noodle mess that has been sitting under a heat lamp for hours.  Once again, not here! This mac &amp; cheese was perfect. The pasta was just the right amount of al dente while the cheese had a pleasant spice to it and really complemented the meat.So let's talk about that meat. Some people will tell you that the barbecue sauce makes a barbecue joint. That's not true. Anyone can have a crappy piece of meat and just slather it with too much barbecue sauce and then all you end up tasting is the sauce. If you wanted that, get a bottle of sauce and go home and throw it over a hamburger. When you go to a barbecue joint, the meat should stand on its own.  That is exactly how the meat holds up here. The fatty brisket was perfection. It wasn't too greasy that you worried about having a heart attack but it was certainly fatty enough that you got some really nice flavor from it.  Next up, the ribs. Oh my! The bark on these ribs was amazing. They were just the right amount of tender combined with hardy so that it felt as if you were actually eating ribs and not just over cooked a mush that fell off a bone.  Finally, the pulled pork. If I were to say I had a least favorite part of my meal, it was the pork. It was OK. And nice with the other two meats. But I  would've been disappointed if I just got the pork.   Last but not least, the sauce.  The meal was presented with three different types of sauce. A white sauce, a somewhat mustard-based sauce, and then your typical barbecue sauce. All three were very good and did not take away from the meat in anyway at all.So, there you have it! After searching for nearly 2 years we have finally found the best barbecue in Portland. More...

WOW. The hubby and I were in the mood for some BBQ. So naturally we jumped on Yelp. After seeing all the stellar reviews, we had to try this place out. The staff was so cheerful and friendly to everyone that entered. A definite plus!We both chose the brisket sandwich, with a side of potato salad. I was so impressed, they even asked if we wanted the meat with lean or fatty parts. One of the gals had just brought out homemade chocolate chip cookies. I couldn't resist adding one to our order!These sandwiches were super yummy to say the least and the potato salad tasted like homemade. They even had a side of pickled veggies including jalapeños. These were perfect pair to this sandwich! No doubt, we finished everything to the last bite. :)We split the cookie, and it was so buttery and gooey, hands down the best I've tasted in a long time. *You've gotta try this for sure!* More...
