Simply the best bbq that the area can offer. I drive over 40 miles to pick some up since I moved up north and worth it every time. Shout out to Jay and his family. I hope all is well.

I'm sorry to give 2 stars but I had so many hopes for a place that says Texas BBQ and had beef bakers (stuffed baked potatoes) on the menu. 1st they were out of pork and brisket (he said he had enough for a potato) and there was maybe 2 tablespoons worth, 2nd it wasn't a baked potatoes it was pieces of a potato in a bowl with sour cream, 3rd the ribs were so tiny even my 80 year old father in law who eats like a bird was still Hungry after eating, and 4th it's not Texas bbq if it isn't smoked and the brisket had no smoke ring and tasted like they added liquid smoke to the sauce. Don't call yourself Texas BBQ if you aren't going to serve Texas BBQ. There are too many of us transplants up here that would gladly be regular customers to those that do it right.

If Joseph Nigari gives a restaurant a bad review, then it's got to be good! The seasoning on the meats was very tasty. The staff was very friendly. Will be back next time in Seattle!

These guys can lay down some MEAN brisket. Cuts with a fork, super smokey and fantastic WOO!

Very nice pulled pork. The mild sauce was just right. A nice little neighborhood lunch stop.

It was difficult to find a place that served bbq ribs. My daughter wanted to try this place so we decided to call in an order. The restaurant is a good size in a outdoor plaza. Parking was difficult, but the guy at the oil change place allowed me to park in one of their spaces to do my pickup. Our order included half of a bbq chicken, bbq ribs, briskets, with potato salad, Cole slaw, beans, and cornbread. Everything was a good size for a party of 4. The meats weren't fatty but had substance. The flavors were just right (they had options of mild, medium, and spicy bbq sauce). My favorite was the brisket, juicy and prepared the way I like to eat my brisket. Would definitely be back the next time we are in town. Price was very reasonable for the amount of food we got. Service was on point, our food was ready at their specified time.

This place was great! I know the how picky people get with BBQ and they love expressing it in Yelp reviews; but at the end of the day, this food is delicious. Don't expect it to be exactly the ribs from your home somewhere else.. while it may or may not be, I think that's a d*** metric for judging chunks of cooked meat. It's good and flavorful. Furthermore, the 1/2 pork ribs plate is priced better than your going to find ribs anywhere else in this town. I had a large chicken sandwich and pork rib plate Service was kind, takeout was neatly packed. I ate everything before I thought about a picture for this review. Haha Enjoy!
Best BBQ in Seattle! The owner is very kind and remembers you. Everything from the meats, to the sides to the pecan pie is the bomb, and everything is reasonably priced.

I'm not a big BBQ fan. I mean, I'll eat it, but it can't be bad. Like, I need to taste the smokiness of the meat. It can't be drowned in sauce. They could've given me a tad less sauce. But I was ok with that. My bbq can't be extremely expensive like some are, and my sides have to be right. My buddy and I were riding around on a cold, wet PNW day. He suggested this place for lunch. He's been a customer for years. The place is small. Don't let that fool ya. I got the Lite Brisket, corn bread and slaw. It was good. The Cole slaw was perfect. Cole slaw can't be too sweet. Can't be too wet. This one had the perfect balance. The brisket was soo tender. Maybe a little less sauce. The corn bread muffin was even good. Wasn't too expensive either. I should've had the pecan pie. This place is good. I thought I couldn't eat all of the plate. I did. I'll be back.

The pulled pork bbq was horrible, it tasted like something out of a can. The cornbread was dry and tasted like sugared cardboard. The food was not comparable for the price paid, I only wish I could tell myself an hour ago that I making a horrible mistake.

The smoked potatoes are absolutely amazing..Have been coming here for 15 years at least and never disappoints. Great coleslaw too!
Love this place. Refound them years ago after the moved from Fremont to greenwood. Seriously bummed they retired. Best wishes to the entire family.
