We walked into a food court area while walking around the area. We like BBQ and decided to give Matt’s BBQ in Portland OR a try. We have had BBQ in Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, South Carolina, and Florida. So why not Portland??? The staff was helpful in explaining their menu and seemed friendly as we worked out our order. The food was excellent and more than the two of us could finish in one sitting. Overall, we were pleased with our choice and consider our experience a memorable one. Hey, if Guy Fieri and Triple D can stop in and eat at Matt’s BBQ, why shouldn’t we???

Nice pod. Wasn’t our destination but took the opportunity to finally try Matt’s after hearing great things for years. Only got the brisket burnt ends and they were outstanding. Pickles were awesome. Definitely will be back to do this place proper.

This is our favorite BBQ place. The team members are always super friendly. The sitting bench area feels very relaxed. The service became even more convenient when we found out Uber Eats can deliver it to our area. Our most frequent ordered dish is Pork Spare Ribs 1lb. It is so delicious. The meat is so tender and fresh. We will definitely keep coming back.

Delicious!!! We finally got to have the beef ribs, and all the weekend specials. From out of state and I was always missing the timing to get the Beef ribs. Order ahead online and like me you will be glad you did!!!

Not only Portland has the best street food, at least in North America, but also Matt’s BBQ has the best
Phenomenal BBQ quality… unimaginably succulent and delectable.
This placement a monthly recommendation if not weekly

Tried Matt’s BBQ in Portland and wow — this place deserves to be at the top of any BBQ list for first-timers. The brisket and ribs were insanely juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Their sauces take it up another notch — smoky, tangy, and perfectly balanced. The sides were just as good, rounding out a seriously satisfying meal. Overall, it was damn good BBQ — one of those spots you’ll definitely want to come back to.

Delicious and well done bbq. From the ribs so the sauces truly wonderful and unique flavors. I really enjoy the various sauces they perfectly accent the meat without overpowering. The ribs are my favorite protein and the queso mac is my favorite side. Though all are well done, I cannot go without getting those two things.

The food was so good! The queso dip is a must order along with brisket and pulled pork! The Mac was good but it was a lot to eat with the queso chips since it’s the same cheese . Also Cole slaw could use some salt flakes and more flavor but it wasn’t terrible .
The order was done super fast and meat wasn’t dry ! It’s in a cute area with tables and other food carts! Def worth it this plate for lunch was only 35.00 so if ya split it — you get alot of food and a decent lunch price

Saw a lot of fairly good reviews on Matt’s BBQ. So I had a hankering for some BBQ and decided today was the day I was gonna try Matt’s. First off it’s Mississippi Ave and unless your extremely lucky, your gonna end up parking anywhere from 1 to 4 blocks away. I got there about 30 minutes before they opened and found a parking 1 block away. I consider myself fortunate. I went to their website and placed my order 20 minutes before they opened. Got ribs, brisket and queso Mac n cheese. I walked to food truck which is located behind a pub and had a short wait till they opened. There was 1 person in front of me and he left shortly after making injuries about future orders. I was next. I had a very pleasant conversation with the gentlemen working there. They were congenial, friendly and dedicated to their food prep. They answered all my questions and we had a friendly banter for about 5 minutes till my order was ready.
So, I am a BBQ person. I’ve had the real deal in KC. Based on my experience I found the meat cooked excellent. The ribs and brisket were juicy, meaty and looked great. I found the flavor was not as pronounced as I was used to, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. The Mac n cheese was good but, I felt it could of had a little more zing to it. If your calculating price per person, I would its in the 20 to 25 range. Was I satisfied? Yes, I was. Would I go there again? Yes but I would have to have a hankering for BBQ and be on that side of town again.
Make no mistake, it IS good BBQ. Just needs a little personal tweaking to make it great FOR ME!

The meat quality, smoke, and the bbq cook itself were all very good. However, the meat was incredibly bland… no seasoning. I ate there for lunch on Wednesday. Ordered, pork burnt ends, ribs, brisket, and one side. Sad and disappointing. Whoever prepped the meat for that day’s smoking forgot to add any salt. Bummer that I wasted $63 on this.
