At Porter’s Real Barbecue we refuse to serve anything other than REAL, fresh barbecue. This means all of our meats are cooked up to 14 hours and our sides are made fresh daily. That means that we regularly sell out of menu items, so check back here often. Life is too short…eat REAL barbecue. When Porter moved back home to the Tri-Cities in 2009, he brought back two things from South Carolina: his wife Kate and a passion for authentic barbecue. After five years of experimentation and practice, family, friends and co-workers began requesting that Porter make his barbecue for their events. It wasn’t long before his personal passion became his mission – to bring REAL barbecue to the people of the Pacific Northwest.
