Riverside BBQ in Seaside, OR

AdventureMan and I love eating out in Kuwait, and the only thing we really yearn for are: genuine Mexican food, Vietnamese food, and southern (USA) Barbecue. When we come to the US we make sure to sample those three main food groups. And we laugh at ourselves, because when we are in the US, we are always looking for a good Middle Eastern restaurant. 🙂

We all had a yearning for barbecue today, so we stopped by a little pink restaurant by the side of Highway 101 in Seaside that had two smokers outside. The smell was divine.


They had an extensive menu – beef, chicken and pork, and loads of sides – cornbread, baked beans, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, cole slaw – just to name a few. Here were some of the platters:

This was the smoked chicken salad

The food was delicious. We ordered way too much – we had no idea how much food would come with each order. We boxed up the rest and brought it home to warm up later when we get hungry again, if ever.

  5. Adrenaline – there are a lot of other things going on; you don’t want to know, trust me. business stuff, annoying stuff. The food is something good.

    Purg – We couldn’t begin to eat it all, even half. It was WAY too much food for us. But I think some people can eat it all . . . maybe even YOU.

    Amu – It has a lot of character. 🙂

    Ansam – Holy Smokes! I am so honored! It happened here, on HT&E! 😉
