    Keep your hats on for this review, my people! Here's the spice of life. We came here for dinner after spending the day on Vashon Island and weren't sure at first if we'd been to this BBQ place before. After parking and thinking back to around Covid, we remembered, yes, we had been here once before, and it was all "to go." So this time, we jumped at the chance to sit, relax, and enjoy. We ordered a pound of beef brisket and two orders of fried okra. The brisket was juicy, tender, and not too spicy. It comes dry with sauce on the side, and there are plenty of delicious sauces for your taste buds to enjoy. After receiving our brisket, my beloved and I wondered where our okra was. Watching everyone come and go, plus pickup orders, we thought it was taking a while because the okra is made fresh to order. Boy, were we wrong. After about 30 to 45 minutes of chatting and trying to figure out if it's made fresh, coated, then fried, or thawed and fried, we decided to ask. Luckily, we did because no one heard our order being called back to the kitchen. That was strange since the kitchen staff member who took our order had gone back to cooking. Maybe he thought it was dropped or the order had been made. No harm, no foul. After several eye-to-eye exchanges with staff and possibly the owner, he asked if we were waiting or needed something. We mentioned the two orders of okra. They apologized for not making the order, refunded us, and still made the okra. But wait, ladies and gentlemen, it gets even better! Not only did we get our okra, but I believe the owner also gave us smoked chicken, more brisket, sausage, beef ribs, and two delicious brownies. I know this is long, but I appreciate you sticking with me until the end. This was the perfect way to end our day! It was significant because it was our 20th Wedding Anniversary and 22 years together. We did not mention this to anyone until after everything had happened. If the owner reads this review, please know how much you blessed us with your transparency and effort to provide the best experience. The gentleman who gifted us the fantastic food and refunded our money for the okra, which he wasn't obligated to do, was incredibly kind and polite about the mistake. We truly appreciate his kindness, and he appreciated our patience and understanding. Overall, even without the extra attention, we will return because the restaurant is clean, the food stays fresh, and the service is excellent. It's incredible how some of the best BBQ is right here in Gig Harbor.

    I lived in Texas for 14 years and have been to all the great BBQ spots in Kansas City. Here in Washington we just don't have great BBQ......or so I thought!!! This place does a nice job of making Texas style BBQ! Had the brisket and the jalapeño cheddar sausage. Was given a free sample of the smoked pork butt (super tender and great smoke flavor) as well. Ordered a side of beans and they were really good too! Like a lot of Texas places you buy the meats by the pound and they do not offer combo plates. Really wish they did. Would have loved a plate with a couple sides. Good was really good though and I found a spot to scratch the BBQ itch!

    I gave BBQ2U another try, and that one visit turned into many more. The meat is solid, though sometimes a little on the mild side, but the BBQ sauce more than makes up for it. It's fantastic--and they even bottle and sell it. Bring back an empty bottle, and you get half off your refill, which is a great deal. The fries are also excellent, always cooked fresh, and the staff here are incredibly friendly and personable. They take the time to chat and even remember you when you come back. I personally always get a brisket sandwich slathered in sauce.

    Beef rib, 1 lb pork ribs, 1 lb beef brisket (fatty), brisket chili

    I was pleasantly suprised with the BBQ here! Stumbled upon this place when I was looking for something to eat in the Gig Harbor area. Texas style bbq with a focus on delicious smokey beef with sauce on the side. Went with the 1 lb beef brisket (fatty cuts of course), 1lb pork ribs, beef brisket and brisket chili. Sadly, they forgot to add the two sausages I ordered so I cannot comment on them. Beef brisket was very succulent and delicious. The beef rib is always a favored cut of mine and always get this if available. Enough meat for two people as the rib is enormous. Pork ribs were very tender fall of the bone. Brisket chili was interesting riff that had sweet corn mixed in. BBQ for a bit over $100 it was enough food for about 5 meals so all in all not a bad deal. I hope they remember the sausages next time!

    I was craving BBQ, and have been wanting to try BBQ2U for a while. My husband and I stopped in during the week after work looking for a quick bite to eat in the plaza. Not knowing what to expect, surprisingly, there was a solid line to order your food at the counter. There is plenty of seating inside, and they offer to-go and online orders. You wait in line to order, and then also wait at the counter to get your food. There isn't a "take your name" or "call your number" system, but the food is worth the wait. We both ordered brisket sandwich, with chips and a fountain soda. They also have a selection of unique bottled sodas. The sandwich was simple, but still delicious. They have an area with sauces you can choose from, but I wished they were labeled so you know what sauce was what. There's also an area to purchase sauces and rubs to take home, and other merchandise items. It's a cool local spot that filled my BBQ craving. There is a BBQ boat that I want to try next time!

    So this is Texas bbq- which should be all about the brisket. And...the brisket was phenomenal! Best I've had outside of Texas. Perfect! The red hot sausage was good- but cooled off to fast. Great flavor though. The ribs were good. My wife love them. I prefer a little more fall off the bone, but no complaints. The pulled pork was not up to my standard. It's OK as I will be ordering brisket only next time. The sides- potato salad and French fries were great. The coleslaw was good - not perfect, but good. The beans had good reviews. The mac and cheese got thumbs down from the family. Overall- really good Texas bbq!

    last bite of the brisket sandwich monster size. DELICIOUS

For Netshed, my notes were: "Lovely lil restaurant in the heart of Gig Harbor, on the water with perfect views!" Netshed No 9 is a small lil brunch gem that is tucked away and easily overlooked. Make sure to call ahead, they get busy. It's worth the wait. We waited for an indoor seat, as I'm a wuss when it comes to sitting outside in the winter. We got a seat with a view. Friendly staff, great brunch options, and the food is solid! For Gig Harbor, you can't beat Netshed for brunch. They truly are superior. They cook their eggs to order, they serve food hot and fresh, the vibe is on-point. We look forward to visiting Netshed No 9 again... they are a great find when visiting Gig.

I had the BLT, which was very good, but nothing I'd leave Arizona for (by itself). What WAS superlative in all regards was the Tomato Bisque soup, which IS THE BEST I've had. THAT I'd drive from Arizona for. Two of us at the table had the "Stuffed Biscuit" -- which was an excellent Portuguese sausage wrapped in a biscuit, all drowning in a sea of red gravy based on the sausage. One other person at the table with us had some form of pancakes loaded with all sorts of sweet stuff: I tried the stuffed sausage but wasn't offered a bite o' pancakes. Oh, what the young can eat! Other than parking is the matter of prices. Four breakfasts, 3 coffees, 1 soda: $125.00 before tip. Breathtaking food: breathtaking prices.

When I arrived, there was no greeter or host present. I went to the empty seat, briefly set down my coat, and dropped off the birthday gift. When I returned to the seat moments later, a member of the wait staff approached me and said, "What do you think we are doing? We seat people here." I asked whether that was how customers are typically greeted. She then stated that I had "tons of privilege" and directed me to leave the bar, including while I was standing near the door waiting for my friends. I understand that businesses have seating policies, but in this instance there was no clear signage or staff guidance upon entry. The situation was handled in a way that escalated rather than clarified the issue and detracted from what was intended to be a birthday celebration. Added after response from owner: You are certainly free to report your side of the story. I was greeted by your staff with the line, "Who the hell are you!" I asked, "Do you greet all of your customers that way." She then berated me and told me that she does if they just walk in and skip the line. Like most bars, with no one present at the front I assumed bar seating was open. Upon greeting my friends I took the seat. In regards to threatening remarks, the only threat I made was that I would leave a review. I used no harsh language and proceeded to the front of the restaurant to wait for my friends who decided to cash out. Your staff member proceeded to continue to berate me and tell me I would be trespassed if I didn't leave the restaurant and stand in the rain. I did leave while she continued to scream at me. Since I did not have context for what you described a simple, "Hi, we seat at the bar here and this is someone else's seat" would have been a great way to greet me. Don't assume I had bad intent just because I was trying to patronize the establishment. I highly suggest you read your reviews and quit attacking your patrons. Based on what I have read you have a serious problem with staff behavior. You spend all of your time on here defending bad practices instead of improving your service. I am happy to say that I will never patronize your business. In addition you lost 14 other customers due to your actions. I was told I must have privilege just to walk in to meet my friends at a bar. You have a clear over inflated sense of self worth to assume your bar is so great that treating customers this way will keep you in business. Best of luck, and you are correct, a place where staff greet you by yelling at you is not a great fit for me. It likely isn't for others as well.
