Elsmere Bbq Wood Grill - S Portland

Good bbq food. Friendly service. A large range of spirits.

Elsmere used to be good...and affordable. It has declined so much which is sad. The prices are OUTRAGEOUS! The buns on our sandwiches were stale, the cornbread tasted like it was a couple of days old, and the sauces are just not good. To top it off, they messed up my wife's order by putting coleslaw on her sandwich, adding a side if coleslaw (which cost extra), and when she pointed it out, the kitchen didn't remake it. They SCRAPED the cole slaw off, leaving some on the meat, and sent it back out. Who does that??? Did I mention that 2 sandwiches, a kids meal, with chips as a side cost over $80!! I will never go back here.

Food was delicious . i asked for water and they never brought it . my son asked for tomatoe in his burger they did not add it Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed ,they have kids menu.

Good food! If we lived closer, we'd be regulars. We started with the Burnt End nachos. I had the quesadilla with brisket and my partner had the pulled pork sandwich. All of the food was great. FYI to the boss: we came in after the lunch rush. There were two people working the front, Lila and Ryan. Lila took excellent care of us and also bussed and wiped down 6 tables, refilled sauce containers, and did some work in the back. The entire time we were there, Ryan made 3 drinks and moved some glasses around at the bar, but most of the time stood visiting with his arms crossed. Y'all need to give Lila a raise or a bonus or something. She was awesome. We noticed the dynamic and asked her about it; she didn't mention it.

Food is great for the price, bigger sized portions makes us all feel fat and happy. Atmosphere is great with a lovely outdoor seating area. Inside has a nice bar. Always willing to come back for more, unlike the out of stater that 1 star this establishment I don't mind if a little gristle in my BBQ. Great food!
