Fort Bayou BBQ — Restaurant in Vancouver

A very tasty gem on the far side of Vancouver. Between the two of us, we had the pulled pork sandwich, the brisket sandwich, and shared a large order of the BBQ baked beans. The sandwiches looked deceptively "average" sized in the containers, but we quickly learned there was some sort of culinary magic sewn into them that left us very much satisfied with the portion size (it's been four hours, and we're still "oof" levels of full).

The pulled pork was lean, albeit a smidge dry (sauce helped that along, though). But the brisket. The brisket. It was... makes "mwah" fingers from mouth That was the winner between the two meats.

Their sauces are amazing though, I like the mustard and original/sweet whatever it's called. The spicy one isn't for me but it's got great flavor.

This is one of those satisfying barbecue places that makes you want to take a heavenly...

Ever since Big Lou's BBQ disappeared from the scene, I've been looking for a new favorite BBQ destination in the Washougal-Camas-Vancouver area. I finally found it today; it's Fort Bayou. I had a wonderful tri-tip sandwich (it being Thursday) and my wife had the pastrami. Both were wonderful. Not only that, but we enjoyed talking with Carlos and learning about his business. Great food tastes even better when it's served by someone as friendly as him. We'll be bach! (Said like that big...
