Their mustard-based sauce is tangy and peppery, a perfect compliment to their hickory-smoked meats (and so much better than the usual cloyingly sweet brown sauce you'll find at most bbq joints in Seattle). They even nail the sides. The beef cheeks aren't always available, but if you see them on the menu, get them. Trust me.

They're now a burger joint only, with a short, well-designed menu, and they're tearing it up. If you're interested in a good burger with some subtle twists to it, don't hesitate based on old review scores. This place is rad now. It's in the semi-industrial south side of downtown, with wide streets, decent parking, and lots of buildings put up in the 40s-60s when Boeing was first really booming. Uneven sidewalks, kind of an odd patio, and a dining room that must have been a couple other things through the decades before it became a restaurant. Continuing the industrial theme, I'm guessing by how loud a couple other diners were talking, they probably work around LOUD machines all day. It's a friendly blue-collar vibe. There are booths in back, and sturdy little tables up front. The tables have tin tops that look like they probably got cut somewhere on this very block because the owners of these places are all friendly. There's old beer memorabilia, car memorabilia, and music memorabilia on the walls. The music's always playing and tends toward rowdy roadhouse country. I didn't hear anything too cowpunky, but I did see a framed poster from a Blasters show tacked up in the hall. The staff could not be friendlier, nicer, or more organized. They keep everything moving and you get all your food and refills super quickly. You get a little plastic menu on your table, and you're in business. Unsweet Tea This had good flavor and being from here, I appreciate the option to order iced tea without sugar. She never let the glass sit empty, either--she was quick with refills. Hand Cut Fries These are no joke. Crispy edges, soft inside, non-greasy for every bite. I know a few people who could probably take down more than one order of these, but one is a good serving that won't leave you feeling beached after you eat. Texas Heat Burger Every patty here is ground pork, which isn't insanely different, to be honest. There are so many other flavors on most burgers that pork is just a little juicier and a little milder in flavor, compared to ground beef. This one has lots of peppers on it but for my money it just added some tang and a couple other mild flavors, no real burning heat at all. But it was delicious. Fried Green Tomatoes They're proud of their FGTs for good reason. You can get them in 2 entrees and as a side on their own. They coat them with plenty of cornmeal, which really adds to the crunch and flavor. The fryer sounds like a jet plane taking off; they really sizzle in there. They're too hot to even touch, much less eat, when they hit your table. And when you do take the first bite, remember that the tomato inside is magma in the center, because the core just liquefies in that hot fryer. Absolutely delicious but don't scald your mouth. Be patient. FGT Sandwich More delicious tomatoes, but maybe they could rethink the rest of this. Instead of the nice burger buns, some toasted sourdough would be rad. Instead of coarse-chopped romaine, maybe some leaf lettuce. Instead of chopped bacon, maybe thick rashers. It feels more like a vegetarian burger than a sandwich right now, and building it as a sandwich instead would really show off the FGT and land with bigger flavors overall. We were out the door for $70 for 2 entrees, 2 sides, 2 drinks, and a good tip. Not the cheapest lunch, but not unheard-of prices anymore. And so worth it. It's AWESOME to find fried green tomatoes a little closer to home; we've been driving to Tacoma for 'em.

I got the "deal," which is one protein with 2 sides, and I added a dessert. DId you know it is ALL gluten-free! What a treat for me, who isn't a celiac, but doesn't eat wheat. So, I got the brisket, collards, dill potato salad, and peach crumble. Total cost: $25.30 for the deal, and $8 for a generous portion of the crumble. It was all already hot/cold as needed, prepared and waiting to be packaged and paid for. I experienced no waiting, because I came at an odd time (before 3:30 on a Saturday; I highly recommend coming at "off" hours, since it is a very small place and waiting times can be long at peak hours). It is all take-out, which I knew, so I brought my own containers since I take the bus both ways. Highly recommend busing (Routes 2 and 3 stop close or right there): parking must be awful on 34th and surrounding streets during peak traffic times. When I got home, I was delighted with every single item. Plus, the portions are HUGE from my POV. I will get 3 meals out of all this, easily, which makes the pricing even lower than expected. Brisket was tender, very flavorful on its own; since I tasted it before I repackaged it in my own to-go containers for the bus, I knew I didn't want or need the sauce, but it is available. Collards, to my taste, LOVE being cooked with bacon, but Richard uses chicken broth instead, and they were delicious, anyway. The dill potato salad was a gamble for me, since I'm not wild about dill. However, the dill is just right: not too heavy, and made it all tasty, to me. The peach crumble uses oats (no wheat, remember?), and was heavenly. It does contain sugar, so if you're a purist, don't get it. I loved it. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars. FABULOUS! And, I'm from Missouri and my mom is from Kentucky, so I know BBQ. I know, since I talked with him while waiting for my delayed return bus, that he gets many "regulars" and return customers. Be sure to check hours and times before going, and try not to go right at a meal time and you'll be glad you went.

I ordered the brisket plate with mac and cheese, because I love mac and cheese, along with the dill potato salad. The meal was reasonably priced at $25, and I really enjoyed everything. The brisket had a good flavor without being overly smoky, which I appreciated. I do not want to be burping smoke for the rest of the day! Overall, it was a very good meal, and I will definitely be going back to try some of the other menu items.

Recommended by a dear friend of mine, I thought of just driving past Lowe's at the landing if they were there. It was simply meant to be. I got there early and there was only one person waiting. Charles was friendly and personable and was willing to sell some meat to me but I wanted the Mac and Cheese so I waited a bit longer for it to arrive. I ordered the following: Slab of baby back ribs: moist and tasty when dipped in the Carolina gold sauce. Turkey leg: delicious, moist and tender. Nothing like a dry turkey leg from the fair. I liked this more than the ribs. Prime rib/oxtail hot link: tender with a little heat. It was really good and would order more than one link next time. Potato salad: strong in mustard but good eaten with any of the meat. Mac and Cheese: it was ok Collard greens: this was good a bit on the salty side Banana pudding: in a cute mason jar. Tasty when cold, it had a good amount of wafers in it, wish there was more banana slices. Overall everything was delicious and filled me up. This will feed me for several days.
