From the salads, to the ribs and brisket. So good. BUT, the fries with the smokie fry sauce is just about perfection. The corn bread and whipped honey butter gets an honorable mention! read more

Food prices in the area are obviously high, often with poor or substandard quality and service. Pete's is no exception on the high prices. However; the food quality here is high as well. Great BBQ, we go about once or twice a month for our Southern flavored BBQ fix. The children always love the complementary soft serve ice cream with purchase. Staff is always friendly and smiling. read more

Vanessa went out of her way to help with a problem that was not the restaurants fault.

Man Food. The Sammy may not have a Name, but it is a Go To! Beans, Mac N Cheese, and free soft serve. Yum. If you cant find something to Eat on this Menu, you must not be a Red Blooded American. read more

Was staying in the area + stopped by for lunch. Super delicious food with solid portions. 4 stars is driven by the price - was $55 for two sandwiches + two drinks so definitely pricer than we'd think. We both got the dip sandwiches - prime and brisket. Both were very good and flavorful. Encourage to take advantage of the sauces as well. My favorite was the horseradish spread - so good. read more

There's not enough free ice cream cones to make this good bbq. The brisket is drier than the Arizona desert and a choice of sides just as sparse of variety or flavor. The customer service was the mid point... but nothing to write home to momma about. The ambiance was probably the high point of the visit... as it was clean. read more

Very good at barbecue at BBQ Pete's. It's extremely busy at lunch time, which is the only time that I've gone here and a couple of times at that. The ribs were tender and flavorful, good smoky flavor and the right level of fall-off-the-boneness. The fries were very salty for some reason so I had to scrap off a lot of excess salt. They were nice and crispy at least. The serving size is quite a bit for lunch but you'll probably end up eating everything because it's that good. read more

I like this place l. Not sure I ordered exactly the best representation but I ordered brisket and one of the ribs to try it. The rib was delicious the brisket was good cam with some toast and a side. The potato salad was ok not the best I've had but not bad either. The barbecue was good. Overall this place is solid good lunch spot and had lot of options that are barbecue like. read more

I have to be honest that BBQ Pete's was not the first choice for my food adventure today. Since another restaurant in the area was not open, I checked out BBQ Pete's.. really glad I did! The two sandwiches that we tried were really good - Boss Hog and No Name we're both excellent in their own right. If you're into a spicy kick, definitely try the Boss Hog as it comes with a spicy link sausage and pulled pork. I did find the No Name Sandwich to be just a little tastier because the fried onion strings just really pulled together all the flavors...and the brisket was delicious. The corn muffin was really good and had a nice crispy crust on the outside. Fries are thick cut and flavorful...almost like steak fries. The loaded baked potato salad was unique in that they transfomed a cold potato salad topped with shredded cheese, bacon, and scallions. The only negative was the cole slaw. It was really bitter and was not good. Not sure if the cabbage was the cause of the bitterness, but will pick a different side next time. There are 5 different BBQ sauces, pickles, and condiments after you order. One final perk was that they give customers free self serve ice cream! Found that to be really cool especially these days where everything seems to cost an arm and a leg. Will definitely be back to try other items!! read more

BBQ Pete's - Kent, WA (1/5) I ate at BBQ Pete's this past week, and let me tell you--do not, I repeat, do NOT dine here unless you want to break the bank. The prices are outrageous, and to make matters worse, the food is, in my opinion, terrible. For the amount they charge, you'd expect top-tier BBQ, but what I got was far from it. The meat was dry, lacked flavor, and had zero tenderness. The sides? Mediocre at best--nothing special, certainly not worth the premium price tag. And let's not even talk about the portions... for what you pay, you'd think you'd get a decent amount, but nope--small portions and big disappointment. Service was fine, but nothing could make up for the sticker shock and underwhelming meal. If you're craving BBQ, save your money and go elsewhere. There are plenty of places that serve better food at half the cost. read more

I will always enjoy eating at BBQ Pete's whether it's for a friendly outing or even a business lunch. Great environment and seating either inside or outside of the weather is nice and the food is always delicious and mouthwatering. My #1 go is always The Sandwich with No Name, potato salas, and some fries for their fry sauce and BBQ dips on the side. We don't have a lot of locations with fry dip so if that's your thing TRY SOME. They also have my favorite potato salad with bacon bits and green onions sprinkled on top and FREE ICE CREAM WHEN YOU LEAVE?!?! If you've gone to BBQ Pete's without getting free ice cream on the way out, you're doing it wrong. read more

First time here! Okay, the baked beans and coleslaw were delicious! We got the Full Slab of Ribs which was smoky and tender. The ribs were not as juicy as I expected with some pieces being really dry. I did not feel the need for additional sauce though. The Loaded Baked Potato Salad was okay at best. Overall, great first time experience. read more

The ribs are outstanding. It would be nice if they offered a corn muffin without sugar, maybe with jalapeño. Also, their loaded potato salad would be nice if it was served hot, or given the option of hot or cold. The restaurant is very clean and they provide great customer service.. The free ice cream cone at the end of the meal is a nice bonus. Will definitely be our go to barbecue place. read more

I was craving for BBQ and chosen this place. I went to drive thru on the right side of the restaurant and ordered half slave ribs and half lb of brisket, side for BBQ beans and Loaded baked potatoes salad to take it home. When I ordered there, I waited in the usual parking lot and the employee carried what I ordered. The employees were very nice. The store looks casual and has picnic-style benches and tables outside. Well, I went home and tried BBQ. Compared to other BBQ places, Ribs here are thick and elastic and I was very satisfied. However, Brisket was disappointed because it was dry and sliced too thin. The taste, texture and appearance were poor. I wonder how delicious this Brisket would have been if it were a little thicker and had the sauce. I didn't have enough taste of BBQ sauce, so I added my BBQ sauce at home, but it didn't make sense what I went to the restaurant for. Next time, I would like to get extra BBQ sauce and eat Ribs again. read more

Boss Hog Samdwitch---Excellent! Good amount of meat. The Hot Link was good quality sausage.

BBQ Pete's is awesome! I have came here many times and I always leave satisfied. I love their sandwiches (tried them all), ribs and sides! Smoked with alder wood. Yummmm. They also have a lot of sauces to chose from. Usually can get a spot inside fast or if it is nice they have outside seating. Met Pete once and he is a cool guy. I would recommend this place! read more

My new BBQ place to go. Resealable price and they give you a lot of food. My husband shared and we still had leftovers for one person.

Once we landed at SeaTac and on our way to Puyallup we were starving! We found this location on Yelp and my husband is always ready for BBQ. My husband and I shared a 3 meat plate with 2 sides and added a hit link. We were so happy we stopped! The sauces were delicious, everything was amazing! My friend got the corn bread muffins-so good she stopped at the BBQ Pete's at the Washington State Fair to get more to take home! I loved the hand washing sink and the free ice cream cone! If we are ever in the area again we will stop for sure! Oh and their shirts are adorable! read more

Best BBQ in Kent!!! Clean, fresh, delicious!!! Get the chicken, get the ribs, get the slaw, get the beans! Get your choices of 4 different yet fabulous sauces!! Get a beer and a free self serve soft ice cream cone!!! Place is always hopping so you know food is fresh and good!! There are other BBQ caves in Kent, but they are terrible (and have health department violations) and Pete's REALLY is the best BBQ in Kent. read more

As a Texan, wow. BBQ Pete DOES NOT MISS. The sandwich with no name, cornbread muffin with honey butter, fully loaded potato salad, complementary soft serve. Are you kidding me! All hits. My husband said the bbq could use more kick but he's a spice mouth. I really enjoyed everything I had. Perfect for an after-church meal. We will definitely be back. read more

Being from the Midwest, I find it challenging to find decent BBQ places in the PNW; however, this place is one of the best that I've tried on this side of the country. I ordered the brisket sandwich with ribs. I had potato salad and beans for the sides. And the cornbread and sweet tea are on point! 5 stars! read more

This is a fantastic bbq out of the beaten path. Lots of awards on the wall that were certainly deserved. Lucked into it as a tourist. If I get back to Washington, I will go back read more

As a man who primarily cooks on the grill I can honestly say that most BBQ restaurants leave me wanting better. Pete's breaks the mold. The food is delicious, tastes fresh, and is worth the trip! read more

For me to give a BBQ spot in Washington 5-stars is saying something. Their meat is great, sides are yummy and plentiful, they have brewed sweet tea and serve coke products. inside and outside seating and a fantastic spot for lunch alone or with a group. Service is excellent with an attentive staff and clean dining room and bathrooms. Both their beef and pork is great - which is not an easy feat - with the right amount of smoke and juiciness. The brisket is excellent! occasionally they will have brisket burnt ends (sign above the register) and those are not to be missed! All different sorts of sauce - from mild and sweet to hot to vinegary. read more

Wow! We have almost never found very good BBQ locally. My husband did some digging and found Pete's so we decided to go check it out. We were very impressed and can't wait to go back! Generous portions. We shared a two meat and it was more than enough. I like that they have the sauces and pickles out, too. The ribs and chicken were tender and the coleslaw was great. Highly recommend. I think it's the best BBQ I've ever had in the area. read more

First timer at Pete's and likely won't be the last. I will say, though, the ribs aren't as fall-off-the-bone as I'd prefer it but it's still tasty. It's also a lot more smokier than I prefer, but again, it's still good and this is only to my preference. I also got the classic slaw, fries, corn bread muffin, and loaded potato salad that I shared with a friend. All of the sides were good, but I likely wouldn't order the fries again -- it's a little on the oily side. Overall, good place if you're craving bbq. I saw someone order their salad and it was pretty massive. I plan on trying the sandwiches next time. read more
