Chin's BBQ — Restaurant in Hillsboro

Tried for first time last night. I love to try BBQ places as well as smoking a lot of my own. Being retired I have been fortunate to try BBQ across the whole country. I ordered the Big Time Nachos ($19). Since it was my first time trying I asked if I could have the meat split so I could try both the Pulled Pork and the Brisket. I did not ask for added meat just instead of all pork or all beef give me some of both since there is no price difference between getting all beef or all pork it still is $19. I was surprised when the gal tells me sure they get the request all the time but that is an added $5 upcharge! I was a little surprised but thought ok, I want to try both so sure hit me the extra $5. Now the Nachos are up to $24 plus my $5 tip and I am into these Nachos for $29!! When I picked up my order and opened the plastic container I was surprised first to see that to start with the Tostada chips were just the cheap rounds you might get at a highschool football game. For that price point some nice higher quality Tostadas would be the right call. Then came the meat which I was so excited to try. There was VERY LITTLE meat on the Nachos. Both meats were tender however the pulled pork had little to no bbq smoke flavor and could have just as well come out of an oven. I had to really hunt for the Brisket pieces and when I did again had very little BBQ smoke flavor. The queso was pretty bland as well and quickly became no longer creamy but a mealy or gritty consistency. The beans are called "Brisket Beans" but again tasted very bland and I could not pick up on any sort of Brisket flavor in them. I opted for the original BBQ sauce and had no complaints about it. It was your average standard bbq sauce flavor. Over all, I understand the continued rising food costs as well as the time needed to produce a good BBQ protein. That being said.....the $ 24 price for a plastic clamshell container full of mostly low grade Tostada rounds was a big disappointment. My wife and I really try to give places a second chance if we have had an underwhelming experience and hope maybe my first experience was chalked up to a bad day behind...

Well i was craving barbecue let start there , i am so picky when it cones to bbq . When i got there i had never eaten here before .the staff was super friendly and was able to recomend things that go good with what i ordered. i ordered mamma mac and cheese bowl With brisket and the tangy bbq sauce that is an option. But i felt that you can go to bbq place with out trying the other options, and as luck had it the had half rack for 15 so i go both. Mind you like I said i am picky when comes to bbq. I buy a drink just incase i dont like it so i can wash it down . The ribs were in the sweet competition sauce . I only waited about 10 min for it, i am sure depending on the day time and what you get times may very. But i opened the mamma mac... and omg the noodles where cook just the way i like it the brisket was temder amazing flaver and the slaw was amazing i had to have another bite ... but to the ribs the competition sauce was out of this world. Sweet little kick omg the meat was thick jucy not a lot of fat and fell off the bone . Between the service and the food i have to say one of my new fav bbq places. I will be comming back . Oh by the way i took the drink home un opend . Give this place a try is all i can say . Price wise its about average. But nice size amount for what...

Ok, the pulled pork nachos are loaded! And REALLY GOOD. My food was ready in about 5 minutes. They have different sauce, ranging from sweet to spicy. Pickled onions, jalapeños are optional. Good good good!

UPDATE: 06/2025 Tried the Crowded Potato at Chin’s BBQ and it blew me away! It comes piled high with mac and cheese, tender brisket, cheese, sour cream, and your choice of BBQ sauce (I went with the spicy—it was perfect). The portion is huge—easily enough for two—but it was so good I finished it myself.

The brisket was flavorful and fall-apart tender. The mac and cheese was creamy and cooked just right—not overpowering, but a perfect complement to the dish. I did find it needed a bit more sauce near the bottom, and the owner happily brought me more with no hesitation. Super friendly and accommodating!

The owners have recently relocated, so they could really use the support. Trust me—this place needs to stay on the map. Great food, great people. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re...
