The Scene
Owner Wayne Cannon is reason to visit--he's friendly and swift at serving the droves of carnivores at the takeout window. All the meat-heavy sandwiches and dinners here are laced with Cannon's signature wood-smoky flavor and slathered with tangy-sweet or spicy barbecue sauce. The chicken and super-tender pork ribs are the standouts--dinners include half of a chicken or a huge mound of ribs, two sides and two pieces of white bread.

Look at their smoker and bbq equipment next to their cashier...tastes not edible, just get your own bbq grill and it would be better by cooking with charcoals... Too expensive too! At least other places like Campbell's or clays has a decent seating..and their prices are cheaper and food is better. Of the two, Campbell's is better than Clays...Has the Pink Rings on meats that Russell street doesn't have...because cooking on decent pit with slow wood smoke is the only way to have that Ring for authentic bbq....otherwise it's liquid smoked and pellet smoked... Dallas...

Man, oh, man?I can?t believe that people actually gave Cannon?s a negative review! I?m tellin? you, don?t be trustin? people who think good BBQ comes from a fast food chain semiannually. I have spanned the city in search of the best pulled pork sandwich in town and I can say that I have found it! I?m livin the dream! Now mind you, Cannon?s pulled pork is actually called the chopped pork sandwich, but man alive?you will not find a better one in town. No frills. Straight sauce, bread and pork. And mountains of it. It?s huge and cooked by a pro. I?ve seen some reviews that say ?the sides are too small??wa-wa-wa?shut it. The SMALL side is small (hence the title) but come on, complaining about the size of a side when you get a sandwich that would any where else be two, that?s like getting free suit and complaining about the tie. For $5.50 you can get the pork sandwich special, the aforementioned sandwich and a side (baked beans can?t be beat) will make your stomach and wallet happy. And it?s not like the pork sandwich isn?t the only great thing here. My vegetarian wife loves the collard greens, beans and rice, and corn. It?s all traditional BBQ, so in other words, mad delicious. And my friend loves the riblet sandwich and swears by it. Oh, and there?s ribs?but that?s for another time. On top of the great food, Cannon?s has a great atmosphere. The outdoor seating is covered and heated with KMHD on the speakers and grill smoke sweeping thru the wind. And even though Cannon?s right next to Alberta New Seasons, the Mecca for bearded, Holier-than-thou-hipsters, this place attracts everyone, regardless of what side of Killingsworth they?re coming from. So, go to Cannon?s. Get the pork sandwich. Get the baked beans. Sit at a bench. Enjoy the heat. Enjoy the music. Enjoy the people. And enjoy Portland?s REAL barbeque.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am on my first visit in a couple of years to this place. There is no meat on our beef ribs and they taste of fuel. The sauce in the bottom of the to-go container is nice but I have nothing edible to put it on. My husbands chopped pork sandwich is spicy (in a good way) but still below average. The side of collards was watery but passable. Don't waste your gas money.
