Reo’s has been a Portland area fixture for years, known for their smoky barbecue and because Reo is Snoop Dogg’s uncle. They used to be located down the street from where I grew up in Aloha, Oregon, but they recently relocated to the John’s Landing area off MacAdam Avenue in Portland.
Southern cooking isn’t quite right without some pie, though, and Reo’s has a good selection. I decided to try some sweet potato pie here, and this was my FIRST sweet potato pie ever. And what I found out was… I don’t really like sweet potato pie.
The crust was a good hearty crust and I have no complaints in that way, but I just don’t fancy myself a fan of sweet potato pie… I guess I just don’t enjoy the consistency and texture of sweet potato. It didn’t taste bad at all, the filling had a good flavor, but the texture of sweet potato just bugs me.
So, this really isn’t a good review because I picked the wrong pie for myself. But, I do recommend that you grab a slice at Reo’s (only $4!) and let me know what you think. My friends say that they’ve tried some of the other pies and desserts there and they highly recommend them! I will be back, Reo, and I will sample a pie that I know I will enjoy!
