I hadn't been back to the location Daddy D's is located in a few years. I was excited that they were open when I came to fill my tank. I remember that it was cooked the way BBQ should be cooked. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and beef brisket plate. I also got potato salad and baked beans. The person who took my order was really nice and didn't rush me on choosing my order. He explained that it will take a few minutes. And I wasn't upset about that. I was excited to have good BBQ again. The potato salad I ordered didn't disappoint. It was fresh and had a dill accent to it that was really well prepared. The beans were really good too. The flavor was good. And it wasn't overpowering. The brisket was amazing. The sauce didn't overpower the meat. And it was very tender. The serving sizes were a lot. But I look at it as supper after dinner. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I've eaten here one time and it was amazing, this is now the second time I've tried to come and they're not open. It seems they make up their hours and you just never know if and when they're open. Please update this locations hours, you're missing out on potential customers and revenue!! read more

I'm from Texas/Louisiana. This BBQ made me cry for home it was so good. Daddy D is a superb host and always remembers you as a customer. Highly recommend. read more

This is Clark County's best, best, and I mean best BBQ. You hear about BBG places on TV selling out of food because they are so good, D's sells out of food all the time. Pair that with the owner and his family and the place is all day southern kindness! Every thanksgiving they smoke hundreds of turkey's for the needy. Everything about this place is legit. Best, best, and I mean BEST BBQ in all of the SW WA and Portland area. I take the 20 minute drive there all the time all day long for Daddy D's. read more

This is the best BBQ I have found in the Northwest. If you disagree then please tell me where I should go. I had the brisket plate. Meat was tender and delicious. Sauce was good and did not overpower the flavor of the meat. Sides were solid. Friendly and efficient service. No complaints at all. read more

worst place ever they gave me rotten food and the service was bad. please i dont recommend it read more

Daddy D's Southern Style BBQ - THE FOOD - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Food is very good. Served on paper plates in a gas station. With such low overhead the prices need to come down

Great food! We always call ahead to make sure they are available. Outstanding selection of protein and yummy sides!

Being from the South I think Daddy D's has the best pulled pork sandwich around! Sides are also really good. Highly recommend them.

The most glorious barbecue since I left the South. It's. Family run and it shows. Thank you for making the most glorious barbecue. read more

Large servings of truly fantastic food served by very friendly people. Inside a shell station but still manages to have a somewhat cozy feel. read more

Food: I don't know Service: none Ambiance: shell station. Good BBQ when they decided to show up. They didn't today or the last couple of times I tried, even then, they run out a little too fast for me to believe at this point because it is so good. Not going to reward horrible service with more then a star. read more

Stopped in here on my way back from a CA trip and Donny greeted us and was very friendly and you could tell he loved his job. Great brisket and red beans and rice! Great job Donny, will definitely come back. read more

Hmm, maybe it was an off day? I had heard such great reviews of this place and my experience did not match. The staff was friendly but when the 2nd person (food server) came in from outside he immediately went to the cutting board to prepare my food. I didn't see him wash his hands and, in these times, that was concerning. Now for the food ... for $100 I wanted more flavor. The prices in store do not reflect the prices on their online menu. Full Slab of Ribs - very smoky flavor, but meat was tough and did not fall off the bone. Pass. 1lb Brisket - soft, fatty, delicious chunks of meat. 1lb Pulled pork - good flavor, lots of fat/skin so texture was off Pint of Greens - no thank you. Maybe because it was early (11:10a) but the greens were hard and had no flavor. Even the ham pieces seemed flavorless Pint of Baked Beans - on point and big pieces of meat. Great flavor. I suggest you move away from styrofoam to waxed paper boxes - the tops of the plates were melted and deformed by the time I got home. Lots of sauce spilled everywhere! read more

Daddy D's Southern Style BBQ - Noon on Tuesday - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

The best bbq place I've never been to. I just saw a news report on this place and they are offering free thanksgiving dinners for everyone! How sweet of them! Apparently, they do this every year for a long time now! Wow just wow. They showed a plate of what they will be serving and yummy. This place is in Vancouver but guess who's going to make a trip out there this weekend?! Us!!! Keep up the awesome work at feeding the community and being in the thanksgiving spirit!!! read more

Gas stations barbecue has never been so good. Tried the ribs and brisket. Both delicious. They sell out too soon so I've left empty handed a couple of times. read more

Some of the best BBQ I have ever had. Would recommend to anyone! The owner is amazing and the food bever fails.

Two stars for the super friendly service. Ordered the triple combo - double brisket, chicken, two sides, bbq sauce on the side. Tasty chicken (dry). Brisket, not enough seasoning and it was dry, I think that's why they serve bbq sauce poured on everything. I thought brisket supposed to be sliced, but here it was chopped up, I didn't order chopped brisket. Oh well, still seeking that perfect Texas style bbq brisket in Vancouver, Washington. . read more

Daddy D's Southern Style BBQ - Double Bbq brisket, chicken, beans, and bread - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Absolutely delicious BBQ! I had the BBQ ribs, chicken, beans, coleslaw, collard greens, The chicken was flawless. Tender, smoky, perfectly cooked. The ribs were tender, moist, smokey, meaty - really impressive. I would buy these ribs whether in the Northwest or in Texas. Beans were great; collard greens were quite good too. Recommended. read more

This has got to be the best bbq I've ever had . Yes it's located inside a gas station . Drove past it and called, they have inside dining.

Gas Station BBQ what it lacks in ambiance it makes up for in flavor, it's my favorite place for takeout BBQ in Vancouver

I'd give this place 5 stars but they double charged me. When I called to dispute the charge they blamed my bank. The food however is the best food I've bought out of a gas station. The brisket was tender and the hot links were hot and spicy. Also, the sauce was not overbearing like most barbecue sauce, it was flavorful with a little sweetness with no acidic taste. read more

We had it delivered through Grubhub. The foot was tasty and the bread is amazing. I would have liked it to be packaged a little more friendly for travel. I think we will try it again someday. read more

This is THE place for good ol fashioned BBQ if you're in the Portland or Vancouver Washington area. Great Southern hospitality and delicious food is what you'll find here at Daddy D's. From the moment you arrive you'll smell the aromatic wood pit barbecue permeating the air with some the best smelling barbecue around. Generous portion sizes so bring an Appetite and some loose stretchy pants as you're in for a treat . read more

Daddy D's Southern Style BBQ - 3 meat combo so big my photo couldn't capture the side of collard greens that came with it. - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I tried eating here at 6pm on a Saturday and they were closed. Sign and web said they would be open till 7pm. Like no one was there and the gas station guy said they weren't open today. Disappointed. Drove 15 minutes to Matt's BBQ in N Portland for an amazing meal! read more

They posted the wrong review. I was reviewing Daddy D's, not the Barrel Room. Everytime We order from Daddy D's we have to order early in the day or the ribs or any of the bar-b-que runs out. Very annoying! read more

Great service kind ppl. Real family atmosphere and above all mouth watering BBQ! There are many places in the area but nobody beats Daddy D's! read more

So, I was really unlucky in 2019, I kept trying to eat here and found them closed several times. But I am happy to report that they are open regular hours. The Barbeque meat is delicious, I have eaten Brisket and Pork Ribs. Tender, juicy, fresh and incredibly good. Their sides are not so great, I considered only 4 stars. I would like them to upgrade their collard greens. They have some sides only at the Woodland store, that should change also. But I go to a BBQ for MEAT and theirs is a 5, no doubt. read more

Today I broke away from the Brisket Sandwich and took on the Shermanator with pulled pork and hot links topped with their cole slaw. Pulled pork infused beans was my side. It was amazing, the pork was tender and the sauce is perfect with sweet tones. I'm not usually a guy that orders really hot stuff, so the hot link was a step outside my comfort zone, and while it was definitely hot, it was manageable and didn't cause pain, just a runny nose. The beans are loaded with pork, sweet and tangy and tender. I'm a certified barbecue snob and this place continues to impress me. read more

Daddy D's Southern Style BBQ - This is the Shermanator with pulled pork and hot link. It requires a fork to eat unless you're sure you can walk out with a clean shirt. - Barbeque Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

This was our year of the brisket comparing one delicious morsel to another in dozens of places as we traveled the USA. So, when I discovered Daddy Ds on the internet, we wasted no time checking it out and ordering brisket, of course. Some said they were turned off by the location in a Shell station. Not me. I thought that was a great change. I really wanted to like it especially after reading a little about the history and the reviews. However, the brisket is definitely not spot-on for a southern barbecue. The brisket is served like bbq pork is served in the Carolinas not like brisket is served Texas (or even Louisiana) . The brisket was also served smothered in barbecue sauce. That's not how it's done either. This is brisket not pork. We did ask to take the brisket back and serve it sliced. From pictures I'd seen posted, I knew they had done that before. And, they did just that. The smoker is outside and that's where the meat is smoked. However, we noticed that three crockpots sat on the counter. Please tell me that brisket isn't smoked and then put in a crockpot. However, that's actually what we thought. There was very little flavor in our brisket even though others have said theirs did have. Plus there was no bark on our brisket. Good brisket always has bark. It's nearly impossible to smoke a brisket without some bark. The rest of the meal --- The ribs were wonderful. That was the best part of the whole meal. They were smokey and the meat slid right off the bone. The beans were just from a can -- gold old pork and beans. Sounds like others received different beans. Potato salad tasted like deli potato salad from the local grocer. However, with all that said, the people inside were very friendly and nice. It's just that they need to raise the bar and improve the sides. However, they choose to serve the meat is what will draw their crowd. For us, it's not the brisket the south is known for. read more

Excellent Southern Style BBQ. The owner was handed down the families secret BBQ sauce recipe from Louisiana and this is the real deal. Very down home hospitality. It's located inside a shell gas station. Came here because of the 4.5 star reviews on yelp. It did not disappoint. St Louis style ribs are KILLER!! I was only in town for a couple days and had to try it. When I'm back in town, this will be my first stop. The owner talked to my sister and I the whole time just like we were family. We were sitting at the counter eating. Now if they would just get out of the gas station and into their own building they would grow the business like no other. 6 years is kind of a long time not to grab your own location. You would quadruple your business overnight. read more

The food here is amazing! The meat is always so yummy! No matter what it is. The people working are always friendly and nice there, and the location is pretty convenient as well, I believe they also have a sit down restaurant within a half hour as well. Definitely worth it to check out! read more

Mouth-watering brisket. Generous portions. Friendly staff. Delicious sides. It doesn't get any better than this.

Forget sugar daddy ... I found a BBQ daddy! I also now have nearly as many daddy issues as Ivanka because Daddy D's Southern-style BBQ beef, pork, and chicken brings all the boys to the yard ... inside a Shell gas station. Luckily, Yelpers struggling with BBQ issues also try harder ... so, get to Daddy D's early before they sell out (especially on the weekend). A 3-meat combo ($16.99) with Pork Ribs, Pulled Pork, and Beef Brisket plus sides of Collard Greens & Baked Beans did very little to resolve my urges. There's no need to go on Maury Povich to find out who's my daddy. So, who's your Daddy? How's his barbecue? read more

Pulled pork very disappointing...fatty and smothered in pretty tasteless sauce. Meat had no smoke toast and at $28 a pound the quality was less than stellar. Prices pretty crazy considering they have little overhead...I will continue the search for great BBQ. read more
