Cod (fish & chips) destroyed my myself & my mom

The best FOOD, environment, staff, chef, stories and so much more!! By far the best fish & chips I had in my life. My partner loved his dish and my son destroyed the duck sandwich! 10/10 easily! Oh and we got the cookies!

Nice spot on the island. We brought our dog with us for troll hunting. We spotted this place. Dog friendly in the back of the story. Inside it's a bar rustic look with cute bathroom. We were late for lunch, but luckily I was got the last smoke brisket Reuben or I wouldn't know how awesome and write this review. It is so fulfilling. Good portion. We also had the salt and pepper shrimp burger. No bad and lots of shrimps also. I would suggest provide some sides like fries or coleslaw, then I will say they are perfect.

This place is open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I like the casual ambience with high quality food. The food is delicious, and the people and service even better. I had a hard time making a decision of what sandwich to get. The cashier told me some customer claimed the Ruben Sandwich (one of my top 3 fav sandwiches) is the best they've ever tried. But I walked in craving fried chicken, so I went with Fried Chicken Sandwich, $17 and comes with a bag of fresh chips. The fried chicken was big, crispy and juicy. It was so good (also piping hot) I burnt my mouth but kept eating Xp. I also love the options for appetizers and side dishes on display. The Chef was nice enough to give me a slice of Banana Fudge Cake to try. I had it with ice cream when I get home, it's very banana-y, but in a good (not artificial) way. I can't wait to come back and try the Ruben!

Smoked Brisket Reuben Sandwich

On a very hot day my wife and I visited Gravy aka Salt & Schmaltz. Eating there had been one of our main objectives in visiting Vashon. We opted to sit in the back patio where a slight breeze made it more comfortable than eating inside. It wasn't busy (although we noticed that that had changed a bit when we were leaving) and we had our just about all the tables. The staff and the owners were very welcoming. I ordered the Smoked Brisket Reuben sandwich and my wife ordered the Smoked Turkey sandwich. They both came with housemade potato chips. Both orders were delivered to our table pretty quickly. They were both very hot and I actually had to bite on my sandwich carefully so as not to burn my mouth or my hands while holding it. Both were big sandwiches so you really got your money's worth. . There was more house smoked brisket on my sandwich than I've gotten anywhere else. The tops of gruyere, kraut and Russian dressing were great as was the bread. I shouldn't have eaten the entire thing but I did. My only quibble was that I would've like to have tasted more smoky flavors, but I've rarely had smoked food in restaurants that safisty me like the smoked meats I turn out on my own electric smoker. My wife greatly enjoyed her house smoked turkey sandwich which came with bacon, greens, roasted tomatoes, and Havarti. With that one she had her choice of either cold turkey or hot pressed. She wished she'd chosen cold because she missed the texture and fresh flavor of the turkey as a contrast to the hot sandwich. She took half her sandwich with her. The owners seemed to be good people presenting great food. We'd go back to try some other menu items if we decide return to Vashon.

Food are good but a bit pricey. We ordered a salt and shrimp burger with garlic aioli and Smoked brisket Ruben . Sandwiches sizes are descent but with no sides. Place is clean and with backyard seating area for you to dine in with your pet. Service is prompt and good.

Wow! What an absolutely amazing find. A locality run deli/restaurant/store/ sandwiches amazing place ever!! While meandering around Vashon, we walked into this place and were immediately greeted with an outstanding smell. The service was excellent and all the food in the deli case is house made. The gentleman whose name I forget, answered all our questions about Vashon Island, shopping, living, etc. After walking around and drinking some beers across the street we decided to come back and support a local business. My friend was disappointed that all the lemon pie was gone. Tip: if you see it? Buy it!! It could be gone when you get back!! The sandwiches, so many choices. We got the high powered rueben, with homemade brisket. Like wth? Off the chain delicious!! Sandwiches come hot or cold. We chose hot. They gave us a few forks and picnic utensils to eat our sandwich later. The sandwich was outstanding!! Homemade brisket with sauerkraut and homemade thousand island. All on grilled sourdough and so good!! My only minor issue was, and it is minor, was the meat. I wish it would have been cubed for easier chewing. No biggie!! Still and amazingly tender and delicious!! Please support this business if you come here. Happy Yelping.

Smoked brisket rueben

While waiting for our smoked brisket rueben we enjoyed watermelon salad and potato salad. Both were very good. The cherry tomatoes and pickled jicama paired wonderfully with the watermelon. I didn't taste much smoke in the brisket (which made my wife happy) and there was a little too much fat for my taste (perfect for hers). The bread was perfect, but I would have liked a stronger taste of dressing. I'll end on a positive- they did not skimp on the brisket. See the attached photo! So... 5 stars from my wife, 4 stars from me.

Brisket Reuben
Iqbal M.

In Vashon for the day... or the weekend? You NEED to ride the Gravy train! While many things on the menu look appealing, the Brisket Reuben ($18) and the fried chicken ($15) were calling my name and they did not disappoint. I love reubens and to try their take on it with brisket left you wanting more. The brisket was soft and cooked well combined with their rye and sauerkraut brought joy to my belly. The fried chicken (gluten-free) order gets you half a chicken. This isn't your typical fried chicken. The flavor packed in every bite ensures there won't be any leftovers. Pro-tip: ask for a side of the Russian dressing that comes with the Reuben as a dip for the fried chicken. They were also grilling lamb burgers on the sidewalk with whipped feta which smelled AMAZING but we just weren't in the lamb mood today. They had a couple tables setup outside and two inside (4/17/21) so you could eat there but we decided to take our food a mile away to Dragonhead Cider!

Stopped by for a quick bite. Lu had the tuna melt and I had the brisket Reuben. Yum! We ate out doors in the back patio. Food was great! We definitely would recommend Gravy when visiting Vashion Is.

Unreal staff. Unreal food. The burger is no brainer. Rainier in a can. All the best things. You'd be foolish to go anywhere else.

Went for a company lunch, first time there, was awesome…read more Will definitely go back, a coworker got the catfish, huge serving.

Today we celebrated my 75th birthday with the family, nine of us. Reservations were made for noon…read more We arrived about 10 minutes early but were seated promptly. When we walked in I could smell the "Q." Mo one ordered the same thing. We started with hush puppies and Frito Pie. My wife thought the hush puppies were too dense for her liking. I thought they were a bit dense, but worth eating. The chili for the Frito pie was spicy with brisket in it. My wife ordered the brisket sandwich with fries. There was more brisket in it than my two meat combo had. The brisket was Texas style, heavy in the pepper. It was moist, pull apart, no knife needed. I LIKED IT. My sides were corn pudding and the cowboy beans. I added a bit of the jalapeño bbq sauce to give it more heat. One granddaughter had the macaroni and cheese and said it was very tasty. Another granddaughter had the pancakes. She thought they were good but a bit dense, not quite as good as papa's. The only detractors were the coleslaw. It didn't have much flavor, needed some horseradish to spice it up. The crust of the pecan pie was really dense. The filling was good but the crust almost needed a knife. The business itself reminds me of some of the older BBQ places I have been to around the country. It was fairly clean, but there was some old food on the floor under our table. The men's room used old beer pony cages for urinals. It's tight when squeezing around someone using one of the "kegs." The men's room could use a good deep cleaning. Acceptable, but could use the cleaning. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. He was busy!!! It took a little while to take our order. A couple who came in well after us received their food before we did. I'm guessing that is because we had nine people in our party. However, our food didn't arrive all at the same time. Bottom line? Give it a try. The brisket is the best I had since being in Houston, TX. I haven't tried the ribs that I ordered yet. Saving them for Sunday night Seahawks Football! We will be going back to Jack 's!! At least I will be going back. A birthday present was a gift certificate for BBQ brisket and pork cooking lessons.

Amazing BBQ. I am extremely picky when it comes to ribs and brisket. Ribs, fall off the bone…read more Brisket, not dry at all. The beans mixed with pork and brisket, incredible. I smoke a lot of meat at home and it was nice to finally have some bbq that lived up to my standards. On top of it, extremely kind and welcoming staff and a fun environment overall.

The chances of keeping even a perfect brisket tender and juicy by the dinner service are very slim. It's possible, depending on how you portion and hold the product. But it's unlikely. If your one of those people who stand in line several hours before a place opens in Central Texas, you might have a shot. I took my chances and went on a Sunday, about 5:30pm. I can't say I'm disappointed, because I knew the odds. The brisket was sliced super thin. Probably less than 1/8" thick. Very lean. No trace of fat cap or streaks of fat. It wasn't bone dry, but it wasn't super moist either. Some more fat content would've helped the cause. It was generously sauced and flavorful. But it wasn't as tender and juicy as it could've been The food came out lightning fast, so I was surprised the fries were as good as they were. They were made before I got there if they made it to the plate before I even got my drink from the soda fountain. But they were hot, crispy and tasty. The beans were flavorful, but I think some fat drippings would've improved it. There were noticeable bits of meat (brisket and burnt ends) mixed in with the beans, but it lacked that special something. And heck, they invented cholesterol meds for a reason. The service at the counter was genuinely friendly. Not the fake friendly you get from the budtender at a cannabis shop who wants to know what you're doing this weekend and if you're going to the Dave Matthews concert later... I usually complain about prices in the Seattle area. $26.49 for the brisket sandwich and 2 sides. With a little over 20% tip ($6.00) that came to $35.24. But with a unlimited soft-serve included for dessert? (the machine is in the dining room). That's very fair (even though I'm a no lactose guy and couldn't partake). If you have a family to feed, that makes this place reasonable. They also get props for the suggested tip options on the tablet. Their max option is 16%. I still chose "other" and entered a dollar amount. And thank god this isn't one of those hipster places. It's a nice place with a pleasant, genuinely comfortable atmosphere. Plenty of seating inside and outside. And its worth noting you don't need a combination number, secret password or safecracking skills to use the restroom. It's just a normal door to a restroom. My faith in humanity is restored.

We usually bring snacks or picnics when paying our respects as my dad was a big foodie. It was pretty dead in the restaurant since it was around 5pm, so we didn't have to wait long for takeout. Not that I expect servers to be too attentive for takeout customers, but since it was so slow, a little banter or seeing if we want a glass of water while waiting would have been nice since it was a really hot day. Not sure if service would have been better if we dined in or not. As far as food went, my husband who isn't as picky about barbecue was really satisfied. He got the coffee brisket and I was surprised how strong the coffee flavor was. I'm not a coffee drinker at all so it was prevalent to me, whereas my husband who does drink coffee said he couldn't taste it. So the verdict of whether the coffee flavor is strong or not might need more tasters! :p the ribs were the best for sure! We both loved them and they definitely were tender! Would go back for those if we're in the area. Finally, the Mac Daddiest was really good and a pretty good portion. In general, the portions were generous and there was enough food for us to enjoy two meals out of it!
