Podnah's BBQ,

1625 Northeast Killingsworth Street, Portland, OR 97211

"We were in Portland for a day and came with an aunt who lives close by. Really decent BBQ and a good price as well. We got the pit boss platter with baked beans, mac and cheese and coleslaw with a few orders of fries as well. Plenty of food to feed the 6 of us. Thanks for dinner!"

"I went to Podnah's but only had a sampling (meant to get a snack). Nevertheless, I had a rib, brisket taco, cornbread, and collard greens. It was very filling and not to mention, delicious. It was nice to have a wooden bbq looking spot right in the Alberta neighborhood, felt casual with small tables. The waiter was kind and hooked me up with a good variety of what they had to offer."

"Initially I loved the vibe of this place, great atmosphere. However you seat yourself and it took about 15 minutes for a server to even approach us. The food itself looked amazing (see pics) but the taste was underwhelming. Brisket was good but too fatty and the sides were very colorful but bland. Cornbread was dry and not sweet at all. Also I didn't see the fine print at the bottom of the menu until it was too late but they automatically add an 18% gratuity to every order. Overall not a terrible place but for these reasons we won't be going back."

"Rustic atmosphere, seat yourself, table service was attentive. Brisket was amazing, also collard greens and home style beans were tasty as well. Smoked trout and banana pudding were awesome. Wedge salad very well presented and delicious. Cocktails were delicious, but very small portions for the price. Overall, a bit on the spendy side, but no complaints on service or the meal. Not a fan of the mandatory, included gratuity though."

"The meal was great, we had a menu for 2-3 people, with two people, we had a problem eating everything. The portion was big, which is good. The menu was a bit confusing, where the volume of beers is not indicated, you don't even know if it's a canned or draft beer. After asking about the type of beef (there are a total of 15 dishes on offer), the staff did not know which part of the cow the meat was from."
