Reverend’s Bbq

Fantastic place to get BBQ for a surprisingly reasonable price. During a nighttime walk in Sellwood, my partner and I got pretty hungry and scanned the area for somewhere nice to eat. We stumbled upon Reverend's and it was probably the best choice we could have made. They have high quality meats and sauces here. Even during dinner it's pretty easy to get an affordable meal for two people by sharing half a pound of meat with some sides. I would highly recommend the beef brisket. We also absolutely loved the banana pudding, and I'm personally someone who does not typically like fruit. Service was efficient and friendly, and the vibe of the place was casual but clean with a little bit of class. Great bang for your buck here and the quality of the food does not suffer at all.

Stayed in an Airbnb in the area and this place was recommended. We ordered take out and the service and timing were prompt, just as we had requested! The brisket and pork shoulder were terrific and we really enjoyed the variety of sauces. The grilled polenta didn't live up to the hype for us, tasty but not special, same with the mac and cheese. The wedge salad though was perfect! Portions were generous.

Simply excellent, you must try the fried chicken and the brisket. The chicken is beautifully seasoned and prepared and brisket had great texture and moisture. All these came with great sauce as well. I simply cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The restaurant is a bit out of the way in East Portland, but for any barbecue fan, it is well worth a trip.
