RoRo BBQ

I picked up some dinner the other day and I liked it. I wanted to get the beef brisket but they ran out so I got the chicken thigh and smoked pastrami (choice of 2 barbeques) plate. The portion was good enough for me and my wife and I took the jalapeno garlic mashed potato and Mac and cheese on the side. Overall a great place and would definitely come back.

Very friendly service, the staff lady helped us with the menu and sides, and told me which ones I could have with my gluten, egg and dairy allergies. We chose these 2: Pulled pork meat (no bun), vinaigrette slaw, succotash Beef brisket sandwich, mac n cheese, succotash We found it a bit expensive, this lunch cost us $56 with 2 bottles of water. Might not come back for that price. Outside picnic tables were casual seating.

The guy who took my order provided helpful recommendations as I asked his opinion on items I was ordering. I got a sizable tray of food at what I think was a good value. The brisket wasn't super moist but it wasn't dry either, right in between. Not a lot of smoke ring but the blackened crust was delicious. Ribs tasted good and were quite meaty, again not moist but not dry. The chicken thighs were quite dried out and I had to use the sauce or sip tea with it. Sweet & smokey sauce is a lot better than the Carolina sauce. The beans had good texture, in a watery sauce which was spicy. The creamy slaw was a good mixture but I should have chosen the tangy version for more flavor. Overall it was a great lunch and I was happy with the experience. I didn't see a garbage can but there was a buss tub, so it wasn't clear if I was supposed to just set my whole used tray in there before I left.

Okay, I've had a Mac n cheese bowl w/ brisket from most of the other bbq places in Seattle. This is by far the worst I've ever had, the Mac n cheese is basically water with noodles and a tiny little bowl with a drop of brisket in it. The bowl for $14 add brisket for another $4. I will regret trying something new today...... sorry RoRo, thought you were better than that.

I really, really wanted to love RoRo and have been dying to visit for years. Finally I made it by for dinner and man, what a disappointment. Coming from the South I know good barbecue and this just wasn't it. I'm giving three stars mostly because it pains me too much to give less. I had the two meat plate which comes with your choice of two sides or fries. I opted for the ribs and pulled pork with baked beans and mac & cheese. The half rack of ribs were soooooo dry. I would have needed a dozen of their sauce containers to moisten it up. The pulled pork was "pig pickin" style, not chopped and while dry it was easier to sauce up. Baked beans were good, nice spice to them but mac & cheese was pastey and cold (as was all the meat.) Bummer for the plate (at $28) to not come with any of their cornbread. I also tried the buffalo chop slider which was the highlight of the meal by far. It was sizable for a slider with great flavor though could have used more buffalo sauce (thou solved with RoRo sauce.) The screamy coleslaw was great so definitely recommend that as a side. There's seating for about 20ish inside and there are a few picnic tables outside. Order at the counter and they'll bring it out to you. One other note, the prices were more expensive than on their website when I visited. Probably won't be making it back here anytime soon...
