Great BBQ sandwich. We also love the coleslaw, baked beans and pecan pie! Out favorite place for a quick and delicious lunch or takeout.

Go for the Beef Rib, Stay for the Pecan Pie. We visited a couple months ago and we are STILL talking about it. They make the absolute Beef Rib we have ever had anywhere in the entire country. It completely falls apart, melts in your mouth, and then punches you in the palate with insanely intense beefy flavor. Texas and Arizona maybe might have better barbecue in general. But for Beef Ribs in particular, BBQ2U easily beats places in Texas or in any other state that we've tried. The only problem is that the Beef Rib sells out so fast that you have to arrive early to get one. I recommend leaving work a few hours early if you can; it's that good. The service is perfect: friendly, fun, and fast. The rest of the meats and sides and desserts are pretty standard, good stuff. If you like sweet sauce, then their barbecue sauce is great. But don't forget the Pecan Pie! That was the standout dessert for us. The Pecan Pie at BBQ2U is just perfect. It's not too sweet, not too bitter, not burned, not raw, nicely mellow, not too bland, sticky but not too sticky. Perfect. read more

BBQ2U - Brisket and pulled pork! Mac and cheese, potato salad and banana pudding - Barbeque Near Me - Gig Harbor, Washington

Legit and fantastic BBQ. It's hard to find true Texas/Southern BBQ in the PNW, but BBQ2U does it right. The flavor and vibe in the food reminds you of a mom & pop joint you find in the south. The brisket is tender and smoked to perfection, that is true sign of genuine BBQ spot. But my favorites were the turkey and banana pudding. The turkey had a great Smokey flavor and was tender to the cut. And the banana pudding is as advertised, a signature item on their menu. The staff as well, brings the southern hospitality and makes the whole experience truly authentic. Like I said in the beginning, it's hard to find great authentic BBQ in the PNW, but BBQ2U is worth the drive to Gig Harbor and having some amazing BBQ. I will definitely be back and spread the word of what these guys are cooking! read more

BBQ2U - Brisket/Smoked Turkey Breast/Pulled Pork/Original Beef Sausage/Mac & Cheese/Banana Pudding/Fried Okra/Fried Pickles/Potato Salad/Coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Gig Harbor, Washington

Today was my second visit for July. Food and ambience are still five stars. My order, not so much. I ordered 1/2 slab of ribs, 2 - baked beans, 2 - potato salads and 2 - corn muffins. I got home ready to slam my food. I got the baked beans ready and about to do the same thing to the potato salad when I became confused by the (c) and whatever the other letter was on the lid - I assume an (s), since it's cole slaw. My feelings were hurt when I lifted the lid and saw that it was cole slaw and not the potato salad I ordered, because I don't stay close enough to go back. The cashier was very polite, professional and friendly. We conversed as he prepared my order. He repeated the order back to me and even said St. Louis ribs, when my brain failed me lol. I know it was just an accident, but I wanted my potato salad...boohoo. read more

Absolutely delicious! I hate I didn't take enough to go. For sure our go to for brisket whenever in Gig harbor. Hands down the best.

Impressed! definitely one of my go to's now. I haven't been disappointed any of my visits. BQ Sandwich is huge a I've never liked fried pickles until this place. Employees are very friendly. read more

Excellent food! Brisket and pork belly are our favorites, and hot fries pickles as a side.

We had a gigantic 'Dino rib' and their barbecued chicken thighs, as well as sides of coleslaw. I have never had better barbecue. I'm going back next week! read more

There is nothing better than bbq when you're starving. I ordered their one serving with the three spare ribs and it's everything I asked for. Their sauce was on point. It had the perfect combination of sticky, sour, and tangy flavors that I enjoy on ribs. The meat was falling off the bone and easily slid off. I had cole slaw and baked beans which I think are the perfect side combinations for bbq. Both of the sides tasted fresh and homemade. read more

My wife and I were in Gig Harbor on vacation so you know it's all about the food. As always I was searching Yelp in the area looking for some good BBQ. Stumbled on BBQ2U read the reviews and thought we'd roll the dice. Well....we hit the jackpot. Great smoky BBQ. I LOVE the way they serve it up to meet your meat loving desires. The sides were yummy as well. Made sure I purchased enough for breakfast and lunch the next day. Highly recommend BBQ2U. read more

Not a bad bbq place. We ordered the Texas Trinity with ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and mac & cheese, coleslaw, and potato salad for the sides. From what I've heard from people who have tried bbq from the southern states, I don't think this food compares. The pulled pork was pretty tasteless without the bbq sauce and the rest of the food was alright. Would I come again? Probably not, but if I was in a pinch for some bbq around the area, I would. read more

We had a family meal on 6/29 for the second time, We found the BBQ authentic and plentiful, We loved the family style dining and it was very family friendly. I ordered the special brisket burned ends to go and continued to enjoy my experience for two more days. I managed a bbq restaurant in Anchorage years ago and these pitmasters have found the secret ingredient to flavor and success in my book! read more

Delicious BBQ in Gig Harbor. I know some people can be pretty picky about BBQ, but I think if you are on the peninsula this place is worth checking out! The brisket was incredibly tender and had a great smoky flavor. The pulled pork was tasty, although it was a little dry. The sauce was good, although I should have checked if there were other choices to try. BBQ2U offers several sides. I tried the beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, and banana pudding. The coleslaw was fresh and the mac and cheese had the perfect amount of cheesiness. The beans were pretty good however I like them a little spicier so I added pepper. The banana pudding was the perfect way to cap off a good meal. I love how the vanilla wafers get soft after being mixed with the pudding. I wish the bananas were a little fresher since the banana slices in my pudding were partially frozen. I ordered online for take out. The staff was kind and although the line to order inside the restaurant was long, they fulfilled my order within 6 minutes of the expected preparation time. Will definitely be returning. There is not much seating inside but that's okay. I have heard the owners help support different causes in our community which is wonderful. read more

You won't go wrong ordering anything here. But my favorite are the pork fries. Fries are cooked to order. Best BBQ in Gig Harbor.

Great food in hole in wall ambiance. Easy to navigate Menü. Friendly staff. Would recommend read more

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Food is on point and decent portions. This is an order at the counter and sit down and eat restaurant.

Great bbq! But make sure you come early because they do run out. Brisket is the best!!

I saw on yelp that someone compared this place to Lockhart's in Texas, and that's a pretty tall claim to make. I lived in Kansas, and Texas for 4 years and Lockhart's is one of the top bbq places in the US, so if someone was comparing BBQ2U to Lockhart's, I had better check it out. So I showed up right as the doors opened and ordered the Brisket and spare ribs. As the cut the brisket, you could tell they stayed true to true Texas brisket with only salt and pepper for the rub. The meat looked moist and the ribs did as well. I got the Mac and cheese and slaw as a side. First off....the sides were meh...but that's ok. I'm not coming there for side dishes. As I bit into the brisket, I was pleasantly surprised as to how it tasted. I won't lie, it was pretty darn good, and i can honestly say, this is the best brisket in the state. My next bite was the ribs, and while those fell off the bone, and were good, I personally like different kinds of rubs on my ribs vs the salt and pepper they used. While they were still darn good, I would have made mine differently. But then again, this is Texas bbq and they are staying true to the seasonings. One word of advice, get there as soon as they open so you don't risk getting dry meat. I could imagine as the day goes on, the meat would dry out as gig harbor probably doesn't have a line of people coming here for bbq. So overall, is this on par with Lockhart's....YES&NO. But is it good and worth traveling 2 hours to try this place? Absolutely! It is true Texas bbq, and I will come here quite often now as I am working in Tacoma and it's only a 10 minute drive from my work. It's the closest thing this state has to Texas bbq. Good work guys, especially for being in the PNW. Ohh and the bbq sauce was really good! I hope they make that there as I would buy a bottle of it any day! read more

As a meat snob, I have to HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. The brisket is juicy smoky peppery and phenomenal, their sausage is out of this world with amazing spices, and the customer service was better than great. They were so kind and took care of us while we packed up barbecue in our backpacks during our motorcycle ride. read more

BBQ2U - Barbeque Near Me - Gig Harbor, Washington

I have yet to be disappointed by this place. Every time I visit, the sweet smell of BBQ smoke hits me as soon as I walk in. The smell alone takes me back to the pit houses i visited during my travels through Texas. The food always tastes fresh, well seasoned, and properly cooked (low and slow). I have fully enjoyed all of their meats, but the king is still the brisket. Really you can't wrong with anything they have. Their bbq sauce does taste like it's been smoked, however it's not overwhelming and I would say it tastes better than most sauces in the area or store bought. I tend to be picky when it comes to bbq, since I make make my own, but if I'm craving bbq and don't have the hours to make my own this is a solid win. read more

The best bbq, service and ambiance in Washington state ... simply the best. Just like Texas bbq

Just moved to Gig Harbor and had to try their Texas BBQ. We had some brisket, pulled pork, fried okra and fries. Its really good! Pros - brisket and pork was perfect, fries were tasty and still warm Cons - okra was a little too fried, but still good. Will definitely go back and recommend to others. read more

One of the best places for authentic barbecue in the area! It is worth the money and always delicious! Can't wait to go back for their brisket, turkey breast and beef ribs are to die for read more

I'm originally from Texas and it was nice to have a taste of home. The brisket and turkey were both great. The atmosphere and the sides were what you'd find in a typical bbq joint in TX. The meat is definitely the star here. The guy who took our order was helpful. read more

Exceptional bbq!!!! Brisket was the best I've ever had. I ate there for lunch and have been thinking about the food all day.

We went because I'm pregnant and craving fried okra- drove 45 mins one way to get it and OH MY LORD. The meat was so good I didn't even care about the sides! (Even though they were amazing too). The smoked turkey was by far the best I've ever had and were from the south. The guys behind the counter were so informative and helpful. Whatever you get- you cannot go wrong! Definitely worth the 45 min drive! read more

Food and atmosphere is wonderful! Kind and knowledgeable kitchen staff took our order and helped us navigate what would be delicious for the particular tastes of our party. The front of the house is spacious and clean, a great place to reintroduce ourselves into dinning after the year we've had. Our family really enjoyed our experience. The food was amazing, true barbecue for real. We will be back every time we visit Gig Harbor. read more

Very hard for me to write a review since I barbecue all my own meats at home. But it was good for what it is. If you don't grill or barbecue at your house, then it's a great place to go. And the price is great. read more

One of the best BBQ places in the Pacific Northwest by far, Dillon and Carlton deliver first class customer service and definitely know what to recommend if you have a hunch in the way of what you're feeling. Also, the Rona's flow pretty nicely, and paired up with a turkey sandwich are totally clutch!!!! 10 out of 10 WWG1WGA read more

As a former Central Texas person (who travels back very, very often), this place is pretty legit, and I try to-go weekly. You might find their BBQ sauce a little sweet and their brisket sliced a little thick if you are from TX, but otherwise it has been great. Potato salad is spot on, the smoked is everything is pretty dang good. Sides are legit. They even serve Big Red. Tip: Do not try to online order on holidays, because online ordering will be unavailable, even Super Bowl. I will say, the only downside I have run into is that they recently changed how they priced their personalized trays. After coming here for a year, I have ordered pretty much the same thing weekly, a $13.99 Lone Star Tray. The Lone Star tray, Texas tray and Texas Trinity tray used to be a flat rate price-- meat is now by the pound, even on trays, so prices depend on what you want on the tray. They did not explain the changes well or even try to help me figure out what the equivalent of what I had been ordering weekly for the past year would be per pound (ya know, so I could actually order my same order), which after my own research, had been 1/2 pound brisket. Left with a bit of bad taste in my mouth after our last interaction, because he was kinda rude to me about it. I am not sure if I am going to be back, because while I do loooove BBQ, I do not like it well enough to pay premium price to feel like a burden to management when I am trying to understand recent changes to their pricing. So, great food, meh on the service. read more

Yum, yum yum! Ive never been disappointed by BBQ 2U & prior to coming here, I wouldn't describe myself as a BBQ person. The brisket is awesome, turkey breast too but my favorite had to be the cheddar jalapeño sausage!! read more

Made a quick stop in here because everyone has been raving about this place. Wow... So I just ordered to go the brisket and ribs. The brisket was amazing, probably the best I have had in awhile; moist, tasty and had just the right amount of smoke plus a beautiful smoke ring. The ribs again were almost as good as the brisket. You definitely need to stop in and check them out. Plus the folks behind the counter were very friendly. When these guys first opened they couldn't keep up with the demand, they closed early because the ran out of food. Since then they have adjusted their quantities, another plug on how good these guys are. read more
