Brisket plate. Three slices of brisket, coleslaw, and pickled avocado. My husband gave this a 5 out of 5 and would do it again. The dish was $22 before the tip.

1/2lb ribs, 1/4lb brisket, potato salad and baked beans. Best BBQ I’ve ever had. Definitely going back next time I’m craving BBQ again.

Ordered sliced brisket with coleslaw and pickled avocado. The brisket is great, peppery fatty and fork tender. Coleslaw was pretty good, never had pickled avocado before but it's a great match with the rest. Tried the house bbq sauce, redeye and mustard; they were all pretty good, but the redeye was by far my favorite with the brisket, suggested by the guy at the window. Service was a little slow but they seemed to be handling a lot of orders well. Only complaint was I ordered to go and fork napkin and garnishes all got tossed when they boxed it off the tray.

Mouthwatering deliciousness!! I had one of the specials of the day, the South Carolina pulled pork sandwich with a side of Mac & cheese, it was so flavorful! I ate every scrumptious bite. The Mac & cheese was super creamy with bacon, tiny bits of jalapeño & crumbled potato chips on top. It was so incredibly good. The pork belly on the sandwich was a strip of heaven on an already yummy sandwich. Will definitely be back.

Had a chance to try the Barky Burger and it was delicious! Definitely worth a try. The side of mac and cheese was also wonderful and is a must try. The sausage was also tasty, but the burger and mac n cheese stole the show for me.

They have the best brisket (sliced) sandwich! Its tender, moist, and not overly salty. It has the perfect balance of smoke, lean/fat ratio, with a charred cap! The pickled avocado is a MUST try and elevates the sandwich to the next level. No need for extra sauce because it would just take away from the the taste meat. But if you must, the red eye BBQ goes well with it. I can't wait to visit again!

OMG... Guys. I've been looking for this since I moved to PDX 6 years ago. This is some of the best BBQ I have ever had. Everything on the tray was fantastic. Brisket, Potato Salad, Beans, Cornbread and all the sauces. Everything was super flavorful and nuanced, the brisket had just the right amount of fat on it to make it melt in your mouth. Potato salad was creamy, beans were peppery and the cornbread was moist. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Including the banana pudding milkshake.

Always exceptional quality bbq. Best brisket (year-round) and beef ribs (summertime). Michael has lots of experience working kitchens around the metro area, and has dedicated his career to focus on being Portlands #1 pit master! Try the pickled avocado. He's already won over this guy. Rip City!!

Came here on a whim and I realized I found the best BBQ place in North Portland. Owners are awesome, and they'll experiment with weekly specials (pictured below, the Triple Oink Sandwich). Do yourself a favor and try this.

I'm in town for business and wanted to try out a local BBQ place. After looking online a little, Bark City looked pretty good. It wasn't too hard to find parking. The gentleman that took my order was very friendly. I got the turkey breast, baked beans, cornbread, and a root beer. The turkey was perfect. The Alabama sauce, which came on the side, was great. I'd definitely eat here again.
