The food was delicious. Our server knew the menu well and could answer questions about flavor,…read morespice, which sides were best, etc. The chicken tenders were crispy and flavorful. My Southern husband tried a couple of the meats and was happy as can be. He keeps asking when we're going back. I was very happy that Shiner Bock is on draft. Four stars because it took a while for anyone to greet us when we walked in and my mashed potatoes were lukewarm.

Brisket: tender and fatty (not too much). Chili(side): meaty with a lite but nice kick of spice. Coleslaw: Fresh and well coated with dressing Service: Fast, friendly and attentive! Shout out to the waitress/ bartender who did an excellent job holding it down when it started to get busy (outdoor seating was full). Ambiance: Dive bar, parking lot is a little small, outdoor seating (picnic tables) and I believe there was outdoor games (corn hole and / or giant tic-tac toe...or Jenga ‍ not sure if the outdoor part is open all year.

No wonder this place is always busy--it's so freaking good…read more The BBQ has amazing flavor, and the portions are solid so you definitely leave full. The staff is super friendly and really know their stuff--they were able to answer all our questions and made the whole experience even better. And it's not just the meat that stands out--all of the sides are seriously delicious too. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

Best bbq I've had in a very long time! We drove over 50 miles to have dinner with our youngest son…read more This is where he chose for his birthday. Glad we got to see experience this. It was great! Husband and I shared the 3 meat combo. We chose brisket, ribs, and chicken. It came with 2 sides. We chose the cold slaw and bbq beans. We added 2 cornbread muffins with honey butter. We did our best but we still could not finish. We also chose the Pete's BBQ sauce although they had several different kinds of BBQ sauce to choose from. We ate in so the food was brought out to us. The service was great even though it was mainly self serve. The place was very clean. Several long tables and other plenty of seating. Lots of different drinks to choose from including sweet tea, and lemon aid. Bus your own table, and a hand washing station which I was glad to be able to use. It this was not so far from home I'd probably come more often. Oh, did I mention the complimentary soft serve ice cream with several different topping? Maybe next time I'll try it. As we were leaving I noticed a Daiso store. I'll have to stop on next time.

Coming from SoCal, BB.Q was one of our staples. Glad we found one up in the greater Seattle area!…read more The chicken is good and what we remember it to be. Just like all those K-drama's, they have everything to make it a date night... including the price! (its expensive). Boneless wings (5): This is what we come here for. At first I felt boneless just meant chicken nuggets, but its so much more than that. It's large chunks of chicken actually breaded and fried. They have a ton of different flavor sauces from mild to super spicy. I like it simple with their golden original flavor. Crispy with still a nice kick. Ddeok-Bokki (3): It was good. Good flavor. Nice n chewy. Nothing to write home about IMO though. The portions are fairly decent but the overall cost is high. Just be prepared for that. This is not a cheap value spot but the korean chicken is legit.

I visit viet kitchen about 1x/week!…read more I usually order SP4. Banh hoi thap cam to-go. This is a vermicelli noodle sheet dish with grilled pork, shrimp, and grilled pork sausage! The grilled pork is my favorite part! The serving size is huge so it could definitely feed 1.5 people. I usually eat about 75% in one sitting and save 25% later. The other dish I order if I'm eating at the restaurant is R9. Fish tamarind sour soup and Caramelized braised fish with rice. This is a staple I had when I was younger and ate out at Vietnamese restaurants. The food here is truly authentic Vietnamese! The prices for some of the dishes are also very reasonable for Tacoma. A banh mi (Vietnamese baguette) only costs $9. In addition, there's free and easy parking in front of the restaurant, happy hours from 2-6 pm Monday through Friday, and catering! Highly recommend this place.

I completely forgot to take a picture of my food because I was way too hungry!…read more When we first sat down, they completely forgot to bring us menus, so we had to ask for them. I ordered the Bun Bo Hue, and I really appreciated that they were able to make substitutions since I don't eat pork blood. I also mentioned multiple times that I didn't want cilantro, but when my soup came out, it was covered in cilantro. They took it back and picked most of it out, but there was still quite a bit at the bottom of the soup. I really don't like cilantro, so I tried my best to eat around it. Despite that, the broth was AMAZING. It had the perfect spicy kick and so much flavor. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the crab balls tasted like they were made with real crab. They also gave me a generous amount of meat, which I loved! The fresh coconut was also so good! Since we're in Washington, we probably won't get the freshest coconut like you would somewhere tropical, but it definitely did the job. Overall, the food itself was really good, but I wish they had been more careful about the cilantro since I specifically mentioned it several times.

We were over by Gig harbor at lunch time and decided to try BBQ2U for the first time…read more It's Texas Q and it's true TQ. The service was great, the place is not big and it's casual and clean. Great selection of bottled sodas along with fountain drinks. The meats selection and sides are the usual Q sides. The Boot which was what we got is good "BUT" all the meats and sides were lukewarm and not very hot at all. It would have been a 5-star rating if the meal had been hot and I watched them assemble the meals right out of the holding bins. So food not hot as it should be is a letdown for something I had high hope for. But the seasonings on the meat was good, the smoke flavor came through. The slaw was bland and the Mac and cheese not too great, kinda tased like Tuesday's warmed up. I might go back but I would not drive over the bridge just to go.

7/12/26- NEVER AGAIN!…read more Pretty disappointing. Will never come back. Amazed this place is still in business with how rude the staff are. We used to come here often. I am always kind to people who are serving, and can understand how hard their job is. But this place needs to get really checked out for the way they are treating customers, especially return loyal ones. I have actually never had an experience like this from the waitress, but there was one that even my friends noticed was very rude and looked angry for working there tonight. It was embarrassing cause they had never had Korean food, but they also kept noticing how rude the lady was. I didn't even feel comfy eventually asking for more meat or even water. Normally I have ordered up to 4 or 5 portions, but after our second small order of meat, we just left. Embarassing! What a waste of time of mediocre food and you just lost someone who always told people about y'all smh. Go to palace!!

So I had this place bookmarked from idk how long ago. I probably saw some random tiktok and the…read morefood looked so good that I bookmarked it on Yelp, hoping to one day try it out. Well that day has come. We ended up staying at a hotel nearby for a friend's wedding. We were getting hungry and I luckily checked Yelp and saw that I bookmarked this place when it showed up on my nearby food list. What a crazy coincidence. So we drive over and park on a side street. There was a small line outside and we waited patiently for a few minutes. Once inside, we were seated at the counter and it was packed, a little hot and everything smelled delicious. My friend and I both ordered the duck and pork noodle soup and it was maybe the best noodle soup I've ever had. The pork had crispy skin, the duck was soft and flavorful. It was all just so delicious. The iced coffee was strong and sweet. We also got the dessert. Make sure to add durian if they ask. It made it 1000x better if that's even possible. Honestly one of the best meals I've ever had. I'd definitely be back if I'm ever in Tacoma again.

Tho Tuong BBQ on South 38th Street is a small neighborhood spot that's gotten really popular. It's…read moreoften busy with people lining up outside, so clearly they've built a solid reputation. The dining area is quite small, so I usually order to go. The food itself is good. The barbecue duck is flavorful and reasonably priced around 35 dollars for a whole duck, and the roast pork at around 16 dollars per pound is also a good value. I really like their broken rice, and the pickled jalapeños with sauce makes the meal feel complete. However, the dining experience has some challenges. The space can get crowded, ventilation isn't great, and seating by the door can be uncomfortable. Service also feels stretched at times, since the same person may be cooking, handling chairs and serving. I'd give it four stars. The food is worth trying, but improvements in seating, airflow, and service would make it a better overall experience.

Service was lacking as we had to ask for some things multiple times and drinks took so long we ended up helping ourselves to the water that the waiter said he would get.

Look forward to trying another spot to see how it is.
