    Brisket plate with Mac & cheese and baked beans
    Buzzy B.

    Definitely recommend Clyde's! Stopped for takeout after a mariners game and was not disappointed. The smell was amazing! Service was quick and friendly. We split a brisket plate with Mac and cheese and baked beans. The brisket was fall apart delicious! Loved they added some burnt ends - the bark was perfect. The Mac and cheese had a nice crust and baked beans were very good. Their sauce has just the right amount of spices. Cornbread was a little dry but we still ate it!

    They got greens y'all!!!!

    First off Mmmmmmmmm..... Delicious convenient roadside BBQ with good service!!!!! My wife & I got the brisket & rib combo with greens and mac&cheese which also came with cornbread. A great value considering this is authentic southern bbq y'all. I couldn't resist trying the hotlink with baked beans & those brown sugar yams. I can't wait to stop in again to try the rest of their sure to be tasty menu items. Thank you for bringing authentic southern bbq to Renton!!!!!

    Look at all that brisket!

    This is the best BBQ I've tasted in the Seattle area! I ordered the brisket sandwich, fried okra, and collard greens. The sandwich was packed with brisket, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. Tip: get the BBQ sauce on the side if you don't plan on eating it right away. The fried okra, so crispy on the outside, cooked through to where the inside had that creamy texture. Perfectly seasoned. The collards I could have eaten a while pot alone. No extra vinegar, hot sauce needed. It's in there! The pot liquor? Whooooooo! My only regret, I didn't get the cornbread to soak it up. I wasn't going to waste any of that liquid gold! Drinking it was still My-T-Fine! Stop in and give it all a try yourself!

    Drove past this food truck and noticed the bbq smell. After seeing consistent customers I decided to stop by and give them a try. I was skeptical at first being the area isn't particularly know for good bbq. Needless to say I am glad I stopped. I actually ordered here twice now as I write this review. The first time I had the rib meal which I got the bbq sauce on the side, I had their two standard sides (potato salad and baked beans). All meals come with the standard side and there is a $1 upcharge to change the side. I enjoyed the ribs they were tender and moist, I honestly didn't even need bbq sauce. Both sides were good as well. My second visit I got the chicken meal and it good as well. I recommend this place if you're looking for good bbq . Lastly, the customer service was great. On my first visit they forgot to add an extra side I payed for in addition to my meal. I was unable to go back and called and left a message. I received a call back and was able to pick up the side the next day.

    Half of two plates - ribs & biscuits with beans, cornbread and potato salad

    My husband, two littles and I shared two plates for about $40 and even had some leftovers for lunch the next day! We chose the ribs for one plate and brisket for the other. Both came with a good portion of BBQ sauce, slice of cornbread, scoop of potato salad, & good portion of baked beans. My husband definitely liked the flavor of the ribs and the brisket was your standard from a good BBQ place. Clyde's is definitely a gem for the otherwise hard to come by legit BBQ options in the Pacific Northwest. Not sure it's my favorite to be honest but definitely decent and appreciated the value! I think the potato salad stood out to me as the most unique of the things we tried. Everything else was on par with what I'd expect from a legit BBQ place.

    These are the same scorched ribs I just flipped them over.

While pulling into the parking lot, I noticed the food truck and thought well why not. Anything is better than Taco Time. I ordered the taco plate (3 tacos with rice and beans) with carne asada. My food came out pretty fast. I was also served two salsas, pickled jalapenos & carrots and a mint. I went to my car and opened my to go container and was impressed just at first glance. I honestly wasn't sure what I was getting myself into but at first looks, I was pleasantly pleased. I took my food to work and ate my desk. My first bites were of the beans and rice and I had to take a minute and pause. I literally felt like I hit the jackpot. Those rice and beans were slamming and did not disappoint! The tacos were good too. The grilled onions were pefection and the salsas were deliciouso! My only critique is the carne asada was slightly on the salty side but still delicious. Honestly, I sat there thinking while eating my food - do I go back on my way and grab a plate for dinner. I will have to find them on IG so I can follow them and get their schedule. Definitely, will return and try more!

For this visit I only did takeout, though I did get a chance to go inside with my friends as we were waiting for our orders. It's bright and extremely casual inside with ample seating, though nearly everyone that came in did takeout like we did. And there were people constantly coming in and out for the food here! Staff was quick in prepping everything and asking if we wanted extra sauce on the side. I got their carnitas plate, and as a takeout portions are huge here! Meat was flavorful, tender and savory; the jalapeños added a nice spice to the dish; and the extra sauces on the side added even more spice onto it that I enjoyed. The dish was wrapped well in a disposable aluminum plate and covered as well. This went for all of our orders, which included the burrito plate and taco salad. This place is easily one I'd come back to for Mexican food at a great price and quality!

    Taste of Somalia is so good - I can't say it loud enough…read more The service is top notch. We had a lovely conversation with the owner and his cousin. We got chai on the house and they hooked it up with the sauces. We waited in the car and they delivered to our window. They used to open from 2-6pm(?) but changed their hours for Ramadan from 5-10pm to cater to their customers. The rice is extremely flavorful. I could eat the rice alone honestly. The meats are juicy with a hint of sweetness. The garlic sauce is perfect, I like the consistency. It's not super creamy like a ranch. It's more fluid, it comes right out of the container, no scraping needed. The green "hot sauce" gives the dish some acidity (although it can be spicier, it's more flavor than hot sauce) with the cilantro-vinegary feel and taste. The portions are huge. If you like The Halal Guys, picture that elevated. I am a loyal Halal Guys fan, don't get me wrong - I still love it, however Taste of Somalia is truly a level up. The Somali spices shine through delivering a much more robust and complex flavor profile. This is a must have. Thank you Taste of Somalia, can't wait to visit you again.

Let me tell you about my server, the absolute legend who conquered his two-pack-a-day habit through the revolutionary "Brisket Smoke Immersion Protocol." This hero of modern medicine discovered that 60 minutes of face-time with oak-smoked brisket vapors carries the same satisfaction as 47 cigarettes, but with the added benefit of making your hair smell like victory. "The trick," he'll tell you while delivering a plate of burnt ends, "is to position yourself exactly 7.3 inches from the top rack, where the smoke density hits that sweet spot between 'spiritual awakening' and 'temporary meat blindness.'" He tracked his progress in a leather-bound journal that's now permanently infused with smoky goodness. Day 1 entry: "Visibility limited, meat particles adhering to eyebrows." Day 15: "Have begun to communicate telepathically with the brisket. It speaks of great wisdom." Day 30: "I am become smoke, destroyer of cravings." The restaurant had to install a special timer just for these sessions. They call it the "Meat Meditation Chamber," and there's now a waiting list of people trying to kick various habits through strategic smoke exposure. One guy supposedly gave up energy drinks by huffing pulled pork vapors for three weeks straight. The best part? While sharing his journey to smoke-based enlightenment, he'll serve you the most transcendent BBQ this side of the astral plane. The brisket doesn't just fall apart--it voluntarily deconstructs itself out of respect for your taste buds. The ribs have converted more vegetarians than a bacon-scented hypnosis podcast. Five stars. Would absolutely sit through another 45-minute explanation of how the smoke molecules restructured his DNA while demolishing a plate of burnt ends again. Just don't ask about the time he accidentally fell asleep in there and woke up speaking fluent Memphis-style BBQ. P.S. They're thinking about bottling the smoke as a cologne. There's already a pre-order list.
