Photos litter the walls, including a few of the owner if you know who to look for, of all the hockey greats. Some real salad on display in places. A few famous sticks are enshrined out front, and there's some relics here and there that tie the whole place together. Tables are a mix of booths, high tops, low tops, and bar seating. It's got The Vibe. The brews: wide selection. I'm a cider drinker but they had something for me. Their beer selection is almost all local except for the small handful of "if we didn't, we'd have a fight break out." Served right, in nicely cleaned glass, by someone who gives a damn about pouring it right. The meat: soft, tender ribs that fall off the bone. Brisket that is juicy but just firm enough. Burgers that hit harder than Larry Zeidel. If you have a big appetite you'll be fine. Otherwise, you'll have some left over for tomorrow. The sides: none of this KD quality Mac and cheese, it's home made and loose. Everything is made in house from some old recipe in some grange cookbook and sacre de calisse it's good. The potato salad is chunky like it should be. The beans ... oh the beans... perfection. The sauces: sweet isn't too sweet, hot ain't too hot, tastes like there's some good molasses and a bit of Pepsi in there somewhere. The meats don't come sauced so you get to pick exactly how much you want or how little. The meat might stand on its own, but the sauces are a harmony in the song. The poutine: **fuck me, lord** this is some of the best poutine in the state. My partner spent a hot minute in Quebec and he gushes over it. The gravy is made from drippings, it has to be I swear. You could make a meal out of just some poutine and a bit of meat. Split three ways it's still a powerful appetizer. Smooth gravy, crisp double-set fries, fresh curds... Criss d'ostie de câlisse de tabarnak, I'm in heaven. Oh and the service is amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, on time, attentive, and genuinely kind.

In long I had some time to kill in the area, and saw the rates for this place being nice and high. You walk past a smoker and a bunch of propane tanks to get to the door. Much as I'd prefer to see stacks of firewood outside a BBQ spot instead of propane, it's all good. Inside, there are a few tables over there, and an order window over here, with a pop cooler next to the window. Checkered tablecloths, some hats for sale, a couple Seahawks signs, casual and laid-back. They mostly focus on ribs, pulled pork, and chicken. You won't find 10-15 different proteins here, like a bigger place farther from town might have. They do have all the usual sides, though. On the table you get rolls of paper towels, a squeeze bottle of dark sauce, and a little pail full of forks. They bring you your food after 10 minutes or so. I checked out the Small Chicken Meal--a thigh, slaw, beans, and a store-bought roll. The sides here are decent, though maybe not special. That's to be expected at almost every BBQ spot in my experience. That thigh was perfect, though--tender, still very moist, really nice sweeter flavor from the sauce. The sauce on the table is a little ketchupy for me but it hits the spot. All this and a pop was barely $20, which is a nice way to price a plate of q. So many places get crazy expensive. That's expected anymore, but finding good q at a good value really is nice. It was empty when I showed up at 4:00, but there was a constant stream of people wandering in after I sat down. So easy to see why.

Staff and service were great!…read more The brisket was surprisingly bad; very dry, a bit hard, and no flavor. It would be considered bad if it was from a grocery store prepared food counter, but from an actual BBQ place and at this price, it was inexcusably bad. The pulled pork was also very dry and not good. Not sure what's going on... hopefully it's just a fluke because I like coming here. Sweet potato fries were great, moist, flavorful. Mac n cheese was a bit bland and needed flavor or something else added. Collard greens were pretty good and flavorful and moist.

The brisket is on point and their smoked mac and cheese rocks! What makes it really good though, is the sauce. It is unlike any I've ever had before, and that says a lot! Also, the employees are nice, and helpful. I was there the other day, ordering my usual items, and the man working the register pointed out that one of my items was on special and I could get it cheaper and better. A lot of places wouldn't point that out to you. So, overall, I recommend this establishment, and guarantee you won't be disappointed!

I wouldn't say the chicken was AMAZING but definitely worth a try. The -1 star is for the price. It was fairly expensive and I don't know if it was worth it. Overall, the chicken was surprisingly still crispy as we took it home (10-12 minute drive) so bonus points for that. I think the cost of extra sauce was kind of pricy too but my husband loves his sauce and so do I. It wasn't the worst experience I'd say compared to the other reviews, however expect to wait awhile! We ordered first and went inside HMart to get beer but still waited another 15-20 minutes for our chicken.

Anywho, this was absolutely delicious, or maybe it was because we were all super hungry In any case, our server was quite warm, friendly and courteous. She was very interactive, came around often asking if we needed anything and put on and cut our meat and served us. She was on point! I hope it's like this for everyone that dines there. We selected the Combo E I believe, and after tip it was around $260!!! But all 4 of us ate well!!! This for sure will be a once-in-a-while kinda treat. If you're in a mood for some good Korean BBQ I cannot recommend this place enough, give them a try! Happy Eating, -Fj

Stepping inside feels…read morejust like being back in Asia, and when I first discovered it, I drove all the way out here nearly 10 times in a single month. They also almost always have great specials when you spend over $80! ​Must-Orders & Foodie Pro-Tip: ​* Special Lamb: The absolute star of the menu and a non-negotiable must-have. - i like to ask for additional spicy powder on the side and dip more since it is little blend for my liking ​* The Cucumber + Cold Noodle Hack: If you're a savory girl like me, order the cucumber salad to start, but save about a quarter of it (and the sauce). When you get cold noodles for dessert, dunk the leftover cucumber and tangy sauce in--it adds the perfect crunch and acidity to balance out the sweetness! ​Drink Note: They still serve beer, but it's a bit sad that they don't sell original/non-flavored soju anymore. Regardless, the incredible food and lively vibe make every trip 100% worth the drive.

Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived by eating raw meat and…read moredrinking blood. One day, lightning struck a tree, causing a massive forest fire that killed many animals. Our ancestors then discovered that cooked meat tasted much better than raw meat. This is why roast meat has always been regarded as an important part of the human diet. Today I gathered with friends and chose this barbecue restaurant. It's located north of Redmond, with a prominent sign and plenty of parking. Ambiance: The decor is creative, but it feels quite contradictory. Barbecue is inherently a very "Jianghu" (lively, rough-and-tumble) kind of thing, yet the restaurant leans toward an artistic, literary style. When I used to run my own restaurant, I followed a principle: avoid anything unrelated to the core dining experience. Seeing many books on the shelves here, I understand they're trying to bridge Jianghu and artistry -- but it clearly feels out of place. That said, the place is very clean, and the stickers/decorations are festive. Service: My high rating for this restaurant is largely based on the service. After we sat down, we were given free appetizers -- braised peanuts, which tasted great. The staff training is very professional, whether it's taking orders, making recommendations, attending to us during the meal, or checking on tables and refilling water. All excellent. Taste: Jianghu-style cuisine is characterized by boldness, satisfaction, and not sweating the small details. We ordered spicy hot pot (Malatang), spicy hot pot skewers, grilled beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, oysters, and many other items. First, the Malatang and spicy skewers tasted almost identical, so it felt like eating the same thing. The grilled skewers were just average -- neither good nor bad. The oysters were very tasty. However, the shrimp in the spicy skewers were very unfresh, which was disappointing. "By the way, the prices at 'Friendship Skewers' are anything but friendly -- I think it's quite overpriced overall."
