on Citysearch Aug 13, 2009I stopped in for lunch and there was one person in the place. I ordered beef brisket and a pork shoulder, a hour and fifteen minutes later the food came out. The food was good, but not worth the wait. I could have driven... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 13, 2009We had baby backs, beef ribs, spicy chicken wings, brisket and sides of green beans, greens, hush puppies, cornbread and fried okra. We had wanted some fried catfish too, but found out (later) that they were out. When... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 05, 2009Average BBQ, nothing too special, i got the super meat plate, with ribs, brisket, and sausage. My two sides were coleslaw and potato salad. I think the attraction is that it is Snoop Dogg's uncle. I guess it is kinda... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 21, 2008Aside from REO himself being Snoop Dog's cousin, these ribs pack some serious flavor. Being from the south, ther hush puppies and collard greens are also a real treat. Great prices too.... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 11, 2008Been getting ribs and BBQ sandwiches from Reo's for years. Love all the BBQ I've tried. There sides are also really good - tangy coleslaw & good cornbread. I highly recommend them.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 28, 2008the title says it all... the brisket sandwich is a steal (the bread doesnt sandwich the meat so much as serve as a platform for it), and the cornbread is awesome. don't worry yourself about the rest too much, and don't... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 20, 2008This is another small place in the area, with great soul food. They have the best ribs and the very best coleslaw, love the sauce they use. The prices are good for the amount of food served.... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 04, 2008Food was terrible, greasy and fatty. Obviously reheated and poor quality and expensive. We barely ate it and became physically ill from it. The place is unsanitary and dirty. Too many other great places in Portland... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 31, 2008Since moving here four months ago, I'd been looking forward to getting a chance to try Reo's. The place looked like a dive and everyone knows about it, which usually means a great, inexpensive meal. However, that... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 03, 2008I went to Reo's because the place is closer to me then Yam Yam's out on NE MLK. However what I found was the drive to Yam Yam's is worth it. I being from the deep south I wanted Greens Collard Greens, I have never had greens... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 10, 2008Take it from a Virginian : I know soul food when I see it and it doesn't get much better than this. The portions are generous and the food is tasty. Reo knows how to do sauce - the kind you just want to lick your plate to get it... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 06, 2008Need I say more??? The brisket is yummmmmm oooooooooh. My 12 yr. old daughter, who is the pickiest of eaters, couldn't get enough of the BBQ. She even said she wanted to hug the man who made it. That's saying A LOT. We got... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 22, 2008If you want real southern BBQ, you have to go to Reo's Ribs! Ignore the bad comments that other people left, they just aren't used to these types of restaurants. No, its not flashy and brand new, its not supposed to be!... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 02, 2008Yeah, the place is ugly. Sure, it's been on Dirty Dining. I agree, the service is slow. Potato salad is kinda soupy. And I am not a fan of Snoop Dogg. All that being said.... the Brisket is AMAZING! I love it, it is worth all... (more)

on Citysearch May 30, 2008Smells like bbq? But---. The parking lot is your first clue to not get out of your car (It looks like a seen from the movie deliverance). The grills smoke but they are filthy. The wood strewn about is of many different... (more)

on Citysearch May 09, 2008The food here was below average. The Ribs themselves had very little meat on the bone. Not to mention the meat was very hard to get off the bone and when you did it was dry. The BBQ sauce did not have a good flavor or good... (more)

on Citysearch May 05, 2008When you walk in the door you see a semi-collage of pictures of Reo and his family. I think he is Snoop Dogg's uncle as I recall, but anyway. I am here to review the food, right. I love the candied yams, the best I have ever... (more)
