    I got your BIG STICK! Was heading to Canadian border and punched in BBQ on my Yelp app and saw Big Stick BBQ so i stoped in for some swine! Ordered a plate with ribs, bbq beans & coleslaw. Very friendly person behind counter and was fast to bring out my morsels! Let's start with coleslaw, I think it had too much spice in it for me. Yet the beans were hot & terrific tasting a winner. As for ribs well meat fell right off the bone and you can see the smoke ring. Smoke ring is a signature for any pit master worth his smoker, yet didn't think ribs were the best I've ever tasted. Maybe it was his rub I'm not sure. I thought kinda dry but can't pinpoint my contempt. Again my opinion is subjective so try it for yourself. Saw they had brunt ends so I may try some on another trip. Come to think this place reminds me of Kansas City BBQ joint which from my experience tends to be a tad spicy. I'm a huge Texas BBQ fan so I'm more partial to that. Not to say anything negative about BIG STICK BBQ. You'll need to try this place for your own opinion ! Cheers and happy eating.

    Legit bbq! Just look at the cooker out back! This little place is off the beaten track but worth seeking out. We had a fun time trying a good mix off the menu as my husband got the 3 meat platter and I tried the 3 slider dish. My absolute favorite was the jalapeño jelly and brie slider. Its fun trying something not offered anywhere else. My only disappointment was they don't do the sweet potato salad anymore and I was looking forward to it. We def will be back. Have to try their banana pudding next time :)

    Great atmosphere, music, very clean, and the best BBQ in Bellingham proper. Healthy portions, I returned to grab more sauce next day. Out of ribs yesterday, I am back for a portion for me, and a bottle of the spicy sauce. Hospitality beyond norms and the crowd. Eclectic, young an old, reasonable tap prices. Honestly, what more can you ask for? A top recommendation from George!

    I had the chance to try their food truck on a Friday evening at Stemma. Given that I've spent a disproportionate time in the Gulf Coast region, I was initially hesitant to venture into the world of PNW BBQ, but boy, am I glad I did! What initially drew me to this food cart as a frugal foodie was the excellent price point. $13 for x3 sliders of BBQ meat and varied toppings is hard to beat in this area. I was impressed with each of the slider flavors and thought that they were memorable in their own way, which I will wax on about below. The brisket blue came with some yummy blue cheese and the brisket was cooked wonderfully - I can honestly say I have never really thought of mixing blue cheese in with brisket like that, but they managed to pull it off. The "rissa" option was also fun and fresh, mixing pulled pork, brie, and jalapeno jelly. Once again, a unique cheese theme adored by turophiles everywhere such as myself! This slider, coupled with tasty jalapeno zing, was another winner. Lastly was the more classic pulled pork with coleslaw, which really hit the spot. Not to be forgotten is the bread, a subtle potato rosemary bun that elevated the sliders beyond your normal plain white bread slider. I look forward to returning whenever I need my local BBQ fix in town!

    Combo plate: Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, coleslaw, beans, roll.

    I had a hankerin' for some "'Q" and thought I would check out Big Stick. I was really ready to like it. Unfortunately, my experience did not turn out as I had hoped. The space was comfortable, clean and made you feel like eating BBQ. Service was prompt and cheerful. Nice. I ordered the one-person Combo Plate. When it arrived, I was visually very pleased. The brisket looked great (nice smoke ring, bark, etc). Pulled pork was looked good, nice sides, etc. As I progressed through the stages of sampling each item I slowly, but consistently met with mildly disappointing foods. Everything was "slightly off". I couldn't taste the smoke, the ribs looked great but tasted like they were baked. Strange, I don't understand how that could be... they looked great. Dunno. Similar stories about the beans and Cole slaw. I like the restaurant ambience and would like to be fan of their food. I'll pass this occasion off as a combination of a "bad day" and my personal preferences. I'll wait awhile and try

    recently visited Big Stick BBQ for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, with perfectly smoked meats and flavorful sauces that left me wanting more. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The welcoming atmosphere added to the overall experience. I highly recommend Big Stick BBQ to anyone looking for great barbecue and exceptional service!

    mac tasted like a weird canola oil or crisco, and beans were still hard.... and what citrus is in the coleslaw?

    food was mid, pork was good tho it was definitely apart.. bbq sauce was good. The roll, i didn't get the aromatic leafs they put in was kinda throwing the flavor off. By the way, the mac n cheese seriously looks reheated..

    Combo for 4

    Ordered the combo for 4 and the burnt ends. Everything is really good plus they play awesome blues/jazz music, and the folks are super friendly. The brisket in particular is really good - tender yet has good consistency. The BBQ sauce is great. The ribs are also really good. Pulled pork is so so but maybe I don't really like pulled pork. Corn bread can be substituted in combo meal and it was worth the wait. Fresh out of oven amazing. Cole slaw and beans also spot on. The cole slaw has a citrus y flavor which is great. Would come back on a road trip. Service was super quick and friendly.

    More people need to eat at Bry's Filipino Cuisine! This place was unexpected, but I'm so glad we…read morecame here for some authentic Filipino food, which does not exist where I live (Bellevue). So you can imagine how excited I was to find Bry's Filipino Cuisine while we were in Bellingham. It wasn't on our radar, but we looked at a map of where we were staying and not far from our hotel was a place called Bry's Filipino Cuisine just down a few blocks. We called over there, asking if they were dog-friendly and fortunately, they are. They offer outdoor seating right outside the entrance, which worked out perfectly. We visited for lunch and left with leftovers. The portions are huge and it's affordable! I can't remember the last time I had a meal in Bellevue with huge portions from a small business for $20. My partner and I both ordered the combination, which came with a little bit of everything for only $20. There was pork adobo, coconut chicken, grilled pork, lumpia, brussels sprouts, pancit and a large helping of white rice. I even asked the owner if he had bicol express, which he gave me a side of as part of the combo plate! After some chatting, it turns out the owner is from the Bicol region, which is where my mom's side of the family is from. Love it! It's been a long time since I've had some authentic Filipino food - and this hit the spot! The food was incredible, the owner was super friendly and the space outside allowed for our dog to join us. They even have a full bar where they serve cocktails with ube and pandan for a Filipino twist! I will definitely be back whenever I'm in Bellingham.

    Wow, this place is great! Like many others I got the combo meal cause I couldn't decide which to…read moreget and it was perfect. My favorite was the pork adobo with a coconut chicken. The second I normally don't like dark meat nor like Smoky stuff so the coconut chicken kind of put me off, but when I tried it, it was a perfect balance. All the food is perfectly seasoned, too. I normally add hot sauce to my food to give it a bit more flavor, but that wasn't needed here. The one thing to keep in mind is that their online menu isn't as updated as their actual menu. For example, the combo meal wasn't listed online, but they had it on the menu in the restaurant so if you want the full selection, you gotta be in person instead of using their online menu.

    This evening my wife and I decided to order food to our home. We decided to be adventurous and try…read moresome Vietnamese food, and this restaurant did not disappoint. To kick off our experience we started with the fried pork sticky buns, and they did not last long. The crispy fried crust had a very unique texture, and contrasted wonderfully with the soft warm inside of sticky buns with BBQ pork filing. Next we dug into the Fried Combo, which included Egg Rolls, Potstickers and Crab Rangoon. The Egg Roll & Potstickers were unforgettable, but the Crab Rangoon was the real star of the show. Creamy crab filling wrapped in fried wonton paper, and some sweet chili sauce to dip in. Moving on to the entrees we shared the Beef & Shrimp Fried Noodle plate, and the Grilled Chicken Banh Mi. The fried noodles contained tender beef and succulent shrimp stir-fried with yellow noodles, Cabbage, Shredded Carrot, crisp bean sprouts, and garnished with fresh cilantro. The dish was very flavorful, with all the fresh veggies and spices tying together the noodles, shrimps and beef. Finally the banh mi. I will admit I have never tried a banh mi sandwich, but I am very glad this was my first one. All the vegetables on top provided an excellent crunch and the chicken was very tender with an amazing flavor. I also added picked jalapeño for an extra touch of heat. All in all this is a very great choice for anyone in the mood for some great Vietnamese cuisine. We will definitely be going into the restaurant next time to try something else!

    I was in town with my boyfriend for a trip and was craving some Vietnamese food. I saw this…read morelocation with high reviews so I knew we had to try it! The banh mis were HUGE and absolutely filled. It was a good ratio of meat, vegetables, sauce, etc and all of the flavors felt very well-balanced. I got a traditional banh mi and it hit the spot. There are not too many places that offer traditional banh mis so I was really excited to try. The banh baos/pork buns were a dry and didn't have as much filling in them as I'd hope so I wouldn't recommend but the banh mi is a MUST! Service took a bit of time but both workers were kind. The items were neatly wrapped and packaged. They also have a dining area next to the food truck of you wanted to sit down and eat there!
