My friend and I were craving BBQ so we looked up some spots in the area. Berry's came up, and we'd never seen it before. We decided to look at some reviews , and decided to try an item to observe the service, and the food. Upon entering nothing about the business screams "Check Me Out" , the inside was small, and so dine in is very limited, and a little awkward. There were three teens running the shop, upon entering the girl working the front was friendly but EXTREMELY loud, she wasn't extremely professional, but was nice, and friendly.. but overall LOUD. Especially for how small the space was she was loud, and the conversations herself, and the two boys working were having openly while working were definitely not the most appropriate, but I wouldn't expect less from unsupervised adolescences. Now, we both ordered a single Mac & cheese just to try something. The price of the Mac was almost $10 for a small 6oz cup... so you really don't get much for the price. Once we got our food (To Go) we immediately got in the car and opened our Mac & cheese to observe it... We were shocked that reviews didn't fall far from our own observations. The Mac had little to NO cheese , and there was a random seasoning sprinkled on top (had no flavor). I took it upon myself to add some 'Baby Rays Sweet and Spicy BBQ Sauce' to the Mac when we got home, and it made it 100% better. Overall I will be giving this place 3 stars due to: lack of professionalism, quality, quantity, and price. The staff were definitely friendly, but overall loud, and she did reference that her boss was old (in her 60's) so she'll have to help her update the photos of the food on social media. I had mentioned we came because we wanted to see for ourselves how the reviews faired. read more

Berry's BBQ - Mac & Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Burien, Washington

It's July 4th nobody wanted to cook to I found this place. Walking in its quiet and not a lot of seating. The menu is on the wall and your greeted walking in. Prices aren't too bad for a BBQ place. I ended up ordering for a bunch of people. We got Quarter Chicken, Ribs, Rib Tips, Mac N Cheese, Yams, Baked Beans, Greens, Potato Salad & Sweet Potato Pie. They do have bottle drinks available. I heard the Ribs were pretty good. Greens were kinda salty....Mac N Cheese....Yams were pretty good. Chicken was descent....Potato Salad was ok....Baked Beans were good.....Ribs tips were ok.....Sweet Potato Pie wasn't that good. I ordered a lot of food and the gave me a half chicken I didn't order. I didn't get 3 side items that I ordered. For BBQ this place isn't too bad. read more

Best BBQ I've had in years--and thankfully close to my house! If you're looking for a family owned, Southern joint, this is it. The mom and daughter were tag teaming the front and kitchen. Super friendly, upbeat and welcoming. The place itself had plenty of street parking in front, but also a side parking lot. Inside the restaurant there are a few high top tables, however, it seems like take out or pick up is most popular. We ordered the Chef's Sampler Dinner which was more than enough for the two of us...and a second meal the following day! It comes with one of everything: Two sides of your choice (can never go wrong with Mac n cheese or greens), two corn bread slices, hot link, ribs, chicken, pulled pork and brisket. It's hard to say which items we loved the most, but it's hands down the most tender chicken and fall-off-the-bone ribs! I can't wait to try their stuffed turkey legs that they raved about. Just know I'll be back! Now that's enough !!!s for one review. read more

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had here. I've been a loyal customer for years, but after yesterday, I'm seriously questioning if I'll ever come back. I went in for a quick meal before work, and it was a complete disaster. The food was disgustingly cold, like it had been sitting out for hours. It also had this strange, old taste that I can't even describe, it was just awful. I couldn't even finish a few bites, it made me feel so sick that I couldn't even make it to work. This place has really gone downhill, and I'm beyond disappointed. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Save your money and go somewhere else to top it off i haven't seen the owner in months read more

A friend of mine went to this restaurant yesterday, October 3 because we saw the reviews and thought it'd be good. The owner greeted us. The customer service was OK. We placed our order then the owner and the other young lady that helped left for a catering job and left two teenagers there to oversee the restaurant. I received my food ordered the mix and match with the ribs and chicken with macaroni and cheese, yams, potato salad, cornbread. The chicken was dry and overcooked the macaroni was very salty and the potato salad was just big chunks of potatoes and some kind of cream sauce. It was not good. The cornbread was sweet. The ribs were tender. The sauce was not good. I brought my ribs home and put my own sauce on them and the yams were average. I only ate the yams the cornbread and brought the ribs home. I left all the food basically untouched. I wish I took a picture. I asked for a partial refund but the people that were there, which look like teenagers had no idea what to do. They tried calling the owner three times didn't answer her phone. He talked to somebody else I left my name and number they said they will call me when they got back. Have not received the call back. I call today, Sunday, October 4. Sounds like teenager answered the phone. I asked if the manager was available he said no one's there today. I asked him are you able to help me he immediately said no. I asked when will somebody be in? He said call back tomorrow. I would email, but they don't even have a valid email on their website. At this point I'll be calling my bank to dispute the charge. I do not recommend at all! read more

It was a small little gem and the food was good!!!!and the staff was !!! Oh,and it was really close to my house.

I would rather suck a queef out of an obese woman for sustenance, than eat here. The brisket was drier than my grandmas biscuits, and she's a white woman... tried to make up for the dryness of the brisket with BBQ sauce, but it was so dry that they separated in my mouth -- BBQ sauce on one side, brisket on the other. No amount of chewing (I chewed A LOT) combined the two in my mouth. No fat on the brisket either, how am I supposed to keep up with my type 2 diabetes? If I didn't have the BBQ sauce, I would give this place a .5 star rating, simply because it provided a mild amount of protein. Would not risk it for this brisket. .5/5 rating. Also, Judy is a horrendous woman(?) I put the question mark because she genuinely acts like a creature not made on this earth. read more

I will never eat at a different BBQ place i vow to you these guys are stunning. Parking is rough but worth it.

This place is really really good! Great Mac & cheese, fire pulled pork and brisket. The peach cobbler had this cinnamon topping that was delicious. Everything from the service to atmosphere is inviting and nice. The only criticism or critique I have is the pitiful and puny corn bread portions. It's a toddlers portion of corn bread. MAN, give me a PORTION of corn bread. Not this teeny tiny one bite thing that I was given. Really good overall read more

The this place went down the hill after Barry's passing. New owners have a different taste in bbq and was not a fan of it. Bbq taste smoked, but kind of rubbery, potato salad was meh. Overall, this place was probably the worst. Sad because it used to be my favorite. read more

I am so thrilled to have discovered this place! I had kind of given up on bbq here. Same as Id given up on finding NY pizza or bagels in WA haha. We ordered delivery and everything we got was absolutely delicious (Brisket/Chicken/MacnCheese/Collard Greens/beans). I am looking forward to going in person and trying everything else on their menu. Makes me wonder if anyone leaving a bad review is a competitor. Haha So good! read more

ordered the Pulled pork sandwich, it took 25 minutes it tasted like the store bought pre-cooked frozen BBQ. It was Greasy and flavorless.

Came here on a whim and so glad I did! We had ordered their Chef's Sampler Dinner and I could not stop raving about it - every bite was absolutely delicious! What I enjoyed most was that each BBQ dish had it's own distinct seasoning and flavor - which is hard to find in the Seattle area. All meat was fork tender and the ribs are easily picked clean. We ate about 3/4 in one sitting. The Collard Greens are rich in flavor, and the mac n cheese creamy without being drippy. The corn bread was soft and slightly sweet - no grittiness here! The eating section is small, I believe I only saw one 4-top, one 2-top, and a bar facing the window, but it's kept clean and bright. It's also one of the few areas to have more than enough (free!) parking directly behind the building. The person behind the counter had a wonderfully warm personality. One of those people where you can tell they show love through providing good food. I will be sharing this restaurant with all of my friends and work-mates, and returning for more meals from their menu! read more

I really wanted to like this place. I do my part in trying to support small local businesses. Unfortunately, the wait was unreasonable, close to an hour when told 20 minutes. The food was mediocre. I ordered the rib plate with two sides, baked beans and yams. The ribs were tender but lacked any flavor; the sauce saved them. The yams were dry and cold, and the baked beans were definitely the ones we all grew up eating out the red can! I honestly do not recommend this place! Go to Jack's! This place was a disaster! read more

Long wait time for food, cornbread hard as a brick no flavor, collard greens are a day old.

The worst bbq I ever had... Saw this place on TikTok and let's just say I was born. The brisket was so dry that literally no amount of sauce would even help and the sauce was so weird. Did he even taste like barbecue sauce honestly, I just don't understand how this place has such high ratings. read more

Absolutely Amazing!! These ribs taste just like Down South BBQ! Tender, and succulent. The hot links have the perfect amount of spice and snap in the skin. The roasted chicken was moist and seasoned perfectly. The peach cobbler was really delicious with a buttery pastry dough. Now the BBQ sauce... WOW, the BBQ sauce has just the perfect amount of spice and sweet Southern Joy in it... The service was really nice too, very friendly staff!! Thank you! I can't wait to go again! read more

This place was ordered for our company lunch today and was the worse bbq I've ever had! As a matter of fact, all the meat looked like it was just baked in the oven with no sauce. That is literally how it came. Chicken still had the juice inside the whole pan. I mean why am I putting my own sauce over this food? It had no sauce whatsoever, just plain baked ribs and chicken and we had to pour our own bbq on it. Potatoe salad was meh. Too much relish. It's pretty sad that the beans and mac n cheese were the only pieces of decent food on my plate. I hope my company doesn't order from them again! Cus how dare they call this BBQ! The South would neva! read more

The food is delicious - especially the sides. The greens are spicy and mac and cheese is the right level of cheese. We went twice in one week because it's so good. Definitely an authentic taste of the south and will make you reminisce about home cooked meals. We're glad we found this hidden gem and will be back! read more

Fantastic bbq spot with that family vibe that just makes it top notch. DefeDefentily go with the sampler

The food was wonderful! We got the sampler plate, we loved everything including the service. They are very sweet and hospitable. The place is clean and chill, I normally never eat inside most establishments because the vibe, but this spot has a wonderful home feel! 10/10 recommend. read more

To be honest the BBQ Ribs and Sides always has potential to be better. The lack of a smoke ring says to me that these were baked ribs. I had to refinish ribs to paint on the bbq sauce that came with it. The menu looks good off the bat visually. read more

The first time we ordered from this place, my eyes rolled in the back of my head from how good the brisket was. Honestly the best BBQ I had ever tasted. HOWEVER, I've been there three times since and it has been far below average. Not sure if the cook changed, but definitely has not been worth the $20 per plate since that first time. read more

Eat here, if you want to carve their microwaved chicken yourself after you bring it home. This isn't the same Berry's. There isn't any kind of remembrance of Rufus on the premises. I talked to the owners. I wonder, if they knew him at all. They knew next to nothing about his business or how he ran it. The ribs were just ok. I won't be going back. It's a hokey place. It won't last, unless they make major changes to their business model. read more

After engaging a bit of conversation on NextDoor, I decided we should check this place out... I always prefer to patronize local businesses... I'll get right to the point, the folks that own this place were extremely hospitable and the food is VERY tasty.... Bring your appetite! read more

Berry's BBQ - two trays of food - Barbeque Near Me - Burien, Washington

I hate to give bad reviews. Maybe it was a bad day I don't know. I know we're all just trying to survive but I gotta say something... BBQ is not done in a frying pan. I watched my unseasoned steamed ribs get done in a frying. One of the most disappointing meals I've had in decades. Don't call it bbq. Call it tough flavorless meat in a pan tossed in a box. SMH read more

This hole in the wall is amazing! Just got my first to go order of brisket with a side of collard greens. The BBQ sauce was plentiful and the meat tender as can be. The collard greens are a tad on the spicy side but that's just personal preference. The corn bread is hot, moist and sweet. I say a super win. The original owner Berry passed away a couple of years ago and his sister reopened it. Try it , you'll like it! read more

I went back to Berry's BBQ again last night and I'm glad I did. This is such a wonderful place. Judy, the owner, and her husband are very welcoming. The food, as usual, was great. Half-chicken, mac and cheese (creamy and delicious) and collard greens (warm and spicy). I'm glad they reopened last year and are in my neighborhood! read more

Great place for authentic southern BBQ. I had the brisket sandwich and my partner had the 1/2 chicken, we took it home after talking with Judy and Steve who prepared it. Judy is the sister of the original owner, Rufus Berry, and is now managing the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, sweet BBQ sauce, with side of cornbread and a pickle. The mac and cheese and greens were also amazing, (don't skip the sides)!. Its a relatively small seating area with a TV, but if you're in a hurry, it's better to call in your order in advance (or order onlilne) and then you can either dine in or carry out. They mentioned they are applying for a liquor license but for now its dry on the inside. Overall great vibes from this place and having lived in Atlanta for 6 years, I can attest that this southern BBQ is LEGIT!!! read more

I read reviews and asked my friend to get some pork and beef sandwiches. Look good and a nice volume. But meats are not enough soft or tender. Coleslaw was spoiled and beans also bad! I couldn't eat it! I'm disappointed here. read more

Oh, boy! That was sooo good! That had to be some of the best cornbread I've ever had! The Mac and cheese was the real deal. Brisket and ribs were perfect. We'll definitely be back! read more

OMG! Best in the whole state!!! I love them. I really love that Customer service is first in class and top priority

grt ribs and sides,,,but they did forget my corn bread,,,how can u forget a mans corn bread

Finally an authentic dry rub Kansas City BBQ place with excellent collard greens!! The meat is very tender and falls off the bones. Everything is authentically homemade and the owners are awesome/very friendly! Must definitely try the Berry Hot sauce and Berry Gold sauce, but of course, the Original sauce is a staple. Corn bread is to die for!! If you are from the Midwest, you'll love the style. If you are from Texas, you'll love the flavor. Definitely will come back again for more! read more

We picked up 2 slabs of ribs, brisket, pulled pork and all of the sides for a super bowl party and it was ALL FANTASTIC!!!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS BBQ!!! Judy was so friendly and generous, I can't say enough! Can't wait to come back. read more

Regarding the comments on Nextdoor app for the surrounding area related to Berry's BBQ reopening, THEY ARE NOT WRONG! Too hot to cook or really eat, but gettin hangry so after hearing about a new place for food I dropped by to grab dinner. Take a bite to stop the tummy rumble and WHOA...wait up...hang on...let's have another bite of that brisket...DANG...that was REALLY TASTY...no, REALLY, good. The brisket is so tender I had to pay attention because it falls apart off the fork 'on the way up'. Sauce is SO nice. Some hidden flavors in there, so again, gotta pay attention to catch all the surprises. Beans...yes! Again with 'some flavors' hiding in the sauce of the beans. Corn muffins? oh I do love cornbread and these did not disappoint. I've had all the BBQ in this town and I've had BBQ all over the US - yes, even at filling stations in the middle of nowhere and Dreamland (which I loved). I'm not sure I have EVER had better BBQ brisket than at 116th and Ambaum. Miss Judy, you were not only a lovely hostess, (and your husband a great host) although I pass by and plan to stop in frequently, you are turning out something worth driving for! Congratulations to you both and welcome to the neighborhood! read more
