Wow I will be back This is a if you know you know type of establishment, a hidden gem in seattle. The entrance is unassuming but the food is one of a kind. Absolutely delicious. I got the Famous ribs, rib tips, chicken and hotlinks and quite a few sides. Absolutely devoured everything. The homemade barbecue sauce truly makes it next level. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food also does not take long. Highly recommend 20/10 delicious Next time I want to try their pies read more

The food was excellent. The actual delivery of it was fraught with complications. First, they told my delivery driver that they had no green beans and suggested I cancel my order! Really? Then, they told the driver they could make a substitution and give me collard greens. I'm a Southerner, I can handle that. They were completely out of French fries but never told my driver! When my order arrived...there were zero French fries!! I was so mad. Don't be messing with my French fries! However, I got Instacart to reverse the charges for the fries. Ezell's screwed up a similar order of French fries a few weeks ago...grrrrrrrrrrr! I was not amused by Jones Barbecue not informing me about not having any French fries. However! The bbq chicken was most excellent and I got another chicken dinner for half price even before the French fries fracas. read more

Best barbecue in Seattle! I took my boys there yesterday in the afternoon and was treated like family. The ribs were meaty and amazing, we couldn't stop raving about the cornbread, and my son wanted to take leftovers of the macaroni back to college with him. This will be our favorite go to from now on. read more

Great and fast service! We got the spicy BBQ chopped pork and it was the perfect amount of spice and sauce. Absolutely delicious. We'll totally be back here! read more

The food is usually really good at Jones We go there all the time but today everything was good except the ribs. They have a really good flavor but they were really tough. They came out the smoker way too soon. read more

It's been a while since I had Jones, so it's a must I add a review. Ordered Jones for Super Bowl! I love the service when I go here so maybe that's why I always come back despite the quality of the food. The sauce is always on point. The mac and cheese is on point this time around. My issue was the meat. The ribs and rib tips were overwhelmed with a smokey flavor. It was so bad, we couldn't eat it . I will still give this place a shot because they are great people and super friendly! Just sayin read more

The. Absolute. Worst. Barbecue and food. I. Ever. Had. Customer service was even worse! I purchased the 3 meat combo, rib tip, chicken & sausage with side of collards & Mac cheese! Meats was smothered in sauce. I was beyond disappointed in everything about the meal especially after spending over $50+ with drinks. I figured I'd give the business a call before I decided to leave this review but upon calling, the employee who said she was the store manager made matters worse. I informed her the food was pretty much inedible. The chicken was dry, sausage was mush, ribs were hard & fatty, greens were flavorless & hard, Mac & cheese dry! Cornbread crumbled at every bite as if it was old. I informed her the food tasted old and outright nasty and replied with "maybe Jones Bbq isn't for you"! I was in disbelief being that I wanted to support this business being that it's a small business and black owned! I was really excited to try their food and support this business! This manager was beyond unprofessional and was on the phone "gossiping" the whole time while taking my order and cashing me out! I asked her to put me in contact with the owner or someone that could help me out because the food is so bad that I will not be eating it. $50+ dollars down the drain. I'm guessing she thought better and decided to call me back after a few minutes to hear my complaint. The damage was done. She said that she'll be giving my information to the owner I'm presuming. All in all this was by far the worst food I've paid for and even worse customer service experience! Beyond disappointed and I sincerely hope someone that cares about the quality of this establishment food and customer service address this matter! Do better Jones Bbq read more

Pretty sure this place is here to rip people off. I have tried to order from them at least 3 times in the past 6 months. Every time it's the same... multiple drivers come to pickup and move on because food not ready. It is a major hassle to cancel without getting charged. They do not provide the food ordered ever. They are hoping you cancel so you are on the hook. The restaurant phone number no longer works... Imagine that. On a previous order I called them and they said they did not have that product there anymore, but they were not able to cancel. So they can steal my money. Please don't support this horrible horrible restaurant. read more

I ordered from the Jones Barbeque location at Lumen Field. The menu was very limited, so I ordered the Chicken Sausage and a soda. The sausage was very flavorful, but the bun was very cold. If the bun was at least room temperature warm, I would have been more pleased with the sausage. Overall, it was good for stadium food. read more

3.5/5 Ordered on Uber eats Food came at a decent time. Ordered the bbq chicken with mac and cheese and greens. The portion size of the chicken was great but the sides were extremely small. Still not entirely sure if the meal was worth the price --- but the mac and cheese and bbq chicken were bomb. Also ordered the sweet potato pie and the peach cobbler. The sweet potato pie was great and hit the sweets craving I had. The peach cobbler was a big question mark. It was so hard/dry I could barely eat it. Hard pass. read more

I went in there at 8:10 PM and they were already closing shop. They close at 9 PM and they didn't even acknowledge me when I asked if they were closing early, they just kept ignoring me. read more

Tried to steal from us. Ordered through uber eats for pickup up and walked over and they said they don't have what we ordered and we have to cancel. If we cancelled we would be charged the full amount so we asked them to cancel on their end and they said they did, but didn't. Lied saying "they told the uber driver"- we didn't have an uber driver I personally walked over... called back saying it's still not canceled and they said again they canceled it but still showing that our "order is ready" Have to call uber eats to cancel AND THEN it actually cancelled. Nice try buddy. Rude lady upfront went straight from sweeping with no gloves to handling food as well. Hopefully someone else has a better experience here and doesn't get stolen from. read more

I am Karen Taylor and I ordered 5 pounds of brisket (tender and juicy) with medium sauce on the side. The woman at the store gave me a very scrapped together bunch of old meat that was not tender at all. She gave me 4.7 pounds of food that was very poor in quality and not at all tasty. I cannot serve this to my guests!!! She doesn't answer the store phone for clear communication . I will not be spending any more money with jones BBQ because of the lack of professionalism by this woman. I asked to deal with Angel because this woman has been consistently unprofessional twords me since I've been forced to deal with her. I want my money back. This mess isn't worth $214.00!!! Please respond asap. She is single handedly taking the quality of your establishment DOWN!!! I pre ordered an specified what I wanted, not some last minute thrown together display of old meat!!! I am absolutely furious at the fact that she has no supervision and is just doing the community wrong without correction. I been spending money with Jones BBQ for 30 years. This person needs to step down. Karen Taylor dissatisfied customer read more

Quite possibly the BBQ I've ever had! And I've had a lot of que! The brisket and rib tips were so incredible I found I couldn't get it in me fast enough.

I remember Jone's BBQ when it was located in the CD area..I remember Jone's BBQ when they relocated off of 4th Ave..I spent over way over for some good BBQ with all the fixings:greens, mac cheese,ribs(slabs of ribs) it was a"FAMILY REUNION" I ordered the works but the only thing I enjoyed was the Dessert..The service was ok to much..talking to other customers/friends who just walked in!!! But the interior was nice but not a lot of room for seating..It just wasn't Jone's BBQ that I enjoyed in the past maybe New management,New cook, New something! read more

I ordered the 2 way combo dinner with ribs and small ends. The ribs were amazing. They had a perfect barq on the meat and it was very tender and practically melted off the ribs. It truly hit that bbq crave I was feeling today. My combo I chose came with my choices of cornbread and macaroni and cheese. The Mac n cheese definitely is comfort food at its best. It is very rare to find it cooked this way. The milk formed a perfect curding mixed along the cheddar. It was exactly like my mom would make it. It wasnt overly salty like how some Mac n cheeses are. My personal preference would be more black pepper and a small touch of white pepper, but thats personal choice. read more

This restaurant used to be the best when it came to barbecue. I've been there twice in the last month and a half looking for ribs that were cooked on the barbecue outside and were full size pieces. I was very disappointed they cooked the ribs inside, and they chopped the ends off so that the ribs are not that long there are no grill marks on the ribs. Also, they used to have good banana pudding. Now there's hardly any bananas in there at all and they don't even make it the way it should be made or it has been made in the south, which is where I'm from. So I know what barbecue taste like and I know what banana pudding taste like. I'm just looking for ribs that were cooked on the barbecue outside and banana pudding that has bananas in the pudding. *Now Jones barbecue has some banana in the pudding but it's like they took a banana sliced it and then took the little round part and sliced it again so that you got four little teeny pieces of banana and they might put 22 of them in there. Where can you find good barbecue? Because this is not it read more

The food was awful. The ribs and brisket were not very tender, and the brisket was not in slices; it was in chunks. Some of the potato pieces were hard in the potato salad. The cornbread was dry and crumbly. What a waste of my money that I had saved over time to be able to eat out for once. read more

Had this delivered. Got the Famous Rib combo for 17 bucks (ribs + two 6 oz sides). First of all I appreciated that the food was packed with care. My sides (onion rings and mac n cheese) were placed in separate containers and the ribs were covered in foil which kept them warmer despite the slow delivery (I hate delivery apps). As far as taste goes, the ribs were very good. First off there was a very good quantity and they did not skimp. The sauce was very flavorful and the meat was falling off the bone. I found them very addicting. The onion rings were good. Crispy and well made. The mac and cheese was not great this time. It felt a little stale compared to the rest of the food. I enjoyed it overall and would definitely try it again, but only if I'm VERY hungry because it's a lot of food. The price is a little high but it definitely felt like I got my money's worth, it's just a really filling meal to the point that I'd probably skip lunch if I'm having this for dinner. read more

Not sure why our visits are few and far between... actually, it hasn't been 10+ years since my original review, but everything is still just fine and how I remembered it. Got the Four Way Dinner. You're supposed to choose 4 portions of meats but we got double order on the ribs, brisket and chicken. There's an up charge if you want double brisket so the tightwad in me spewed out chicken. They were nice enough to do sauce on the side so I could get a mild (16 oz) container and medium (8 oz) container. Enough food for the two of us to get two dinners. Still love the M&C, which I think is half & half plus cheese! No high falutin white sauce. I only k ow this because one time they were out of it and I said I'll just take it to go and bake off at home. Great job Jones, and bring back some cake. read more

So full disclosure, I'm from Texas so I understand that my standards for bbq are going to be very different than most people's here, and therefore I try to keep an open mind. To be fair I have had some decent bbq in Washington but in general, I don't have high expectations. But this place is bad. Like laughably, how does this place stay in business bad. The meat was drowning in bbq sauce (probably to try and cover up how terrible the meat was). The "baked beans" were literally pork and beans out of a can. The mac and cheese was an oily mess. I really hope that all of you that think this is good is able to travel South someday and get yourself some real bbq so you can see the difference. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. This ain't it. read more

Great barbecue. Ribs fell off the bone and their sauce was delicious. Can't wait to try their brisket.

This review really hurts due to the fact my family would come and eat the fine bbq meals that Jones used to offer. Always felt welcome. This passed Sunday was different. First we had drive 30 minutes to get there. I personally was excited to get there, best bbq in the North West. The employees didn't seem to care. Asked if I want mild, medium or hot sauce, at first I said hot but thinking my wife may not like hot. Grabbed a peach Cobbler and a cheesecake slice. I was a smiling customer all the way home, bbq was unbearable to eat. I am not sure why both employees just basically gave me a cold shoulder, didn't ask if needed anything else. Asked about pies and cakes the answer was just no. You cannot treat people like that just a lack of respect. read more

My husband placed a delivery order through the Jones BBQ website. The order never arrived and got a message that the order was cancelled and to call. So we called and they not only had no information about what was going on, they didn't care. The order never arrived. So we called for a refund and they woman said she put it through. But she was either lying or completely incompetent. The pending charge went through and no refund was ever issued. All we wanted was a bit of BBQ on a Friday night. What we got was a huge hassle, a business that simply does not care about its customers, and now a credit card chargeback. One of the worst restaurant interactions in West Seattle in 15 years. Never again will we make the mistake of trying to do business with these unprofessional, sloppy, unconcerned business owners. UPDATE: So not only did no one from this business follow up about this review or the credit card chargeback for the money they took for the order they never delivered, but it seems that this business is not above posting shill reviews here instead of addressing what is wrong. This recent experience suggests that the current management/owners have a very deep level of "WE DON'T CARE." God knows what corners are being cut in the kitchen. Customers beware. read more

Order it to go! They refused to let us eat at the only table inside and there were no umbrellas outside. They said the table was for waiting only yet they had several padded benches for that purpose. Not going back. read more

We ordered a two meat meal for take out from their website. The portions were decent for $21. It included 2 sides and a good amount of meat. We chose chopped pork + brisket for the meats and potato salad + baked beans for the sides. We requested mild sauce on the side. The meats were well cooked but a tad salty. The rest of the meal was hugely disappointing for us because everything was SWEET, including the potato salad. If that is the type of BBQ you enjoy, this is perfect for you. read more

I keep coming back here and am always disappointed - usually due to lack of food. Time and time again their fryer is out of order. Or they are out of chopped pork. Or hot links. For a bbq place, they sure don't seem to be able to manage their meat inventory. Oh well. Down the street to the taco truck or Pecos pit. There are too many other options nearby to justify patronizing this joint. read more

I had such a great experience here me and my family went yesterday and I got the rib tip dinner with Mac and cheese and beans super fresh and bomb the sauce is amazing I will be buying a jar of that sauce. My daughter had the chopped beef sandwich and the beef brisket dinner for later everything was sooo good and the service was fast I just wish they had it where u can eat inside other than that ten out of ten will Go again." read more

SO I want to love this establishment, but I just...can't. The food - particularly the meat - is exceptional but the lack of QA is beyond me. Food: I've ordered food from Jones twice - once for delivery and once for takeout. Both times my order came with a missing side. the first time, I didn't get my cornbread and the second time I didn't get my potato salad. I wish I had the opportunity to share reviews on those items...sigh. As for what I was able to try, I was pleased. The ribs, rib tips and hot links are delicious. The spicy sauce is amazing. The meat is tender. The sides that I have been able to try are just okay in my book - mac and cheese and baked beans. Service: While the woman who took my order when I went in for takeout was pleasant enough, it took a very long time to pick up my food on a Thursday evening. I specifically asked how long the order would take and she said 5-7 minutes. I waited 30 minutes. Now, 30 minutes isn't THAT long but the right expectations were not set initially. Ambiance: This is a tiny store. Not a dine-in establishment, which has served this restaurant well during this quarantine period. Overall, I like the bbq and would love to support this black business. However, I'm not sure I can continue to do so as my order is perpetually wrong. read more

I ordered this on Uber Eats to be delivered to my work. It was DELICIOUS and packaged clean and correct. When you received your food, you knew people had taken care to seal it off from any hazards that might occur. LOVED beef brisket with mild sauce and the potato salad. Next time i will order a large potato salad because it was that good. Arrived fresh, juicy (not dry), hot and tasty. Portion of meat was fairly-priced and generous in portion. Much preferred the food from the Fauntleroy location to the old location in Columbia City. read more

Happy New Year!!! We order the daily special - RIB TIPS!!! It's 2lbs of rib tips for only $12.00 and its good. Surprisingly. We also ordered the Mac-n-cheese and the noodles were mushy. Not so good. Sigh. The rib tips were drowned in a spicy bbq sauce. Super good. read more

Jones Barbeque - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is one of those places that brings you instant comfort on a gloomy/rainy day (which is like every day now in Seattle). I ordered the Mac and cheese, baked beans, and corn bread via Uber eats and was pleasantly surprised by the packaging and portions! The container with the beans was wrapped so well that nothing spilled and all the food was still hot when it was delivered (like I'm talking burn my mouth hot). The portions were also bigger than what had expected for sides and ended up saving leftovers for dinner. Definitely worth it! Y'all go ahead and support your local black business and order some food from here too! read more

Mmmmmmmm, Jones BBQ has some amazing brisket. These folks really understand the true nature of slow & low brisket smoking. Let's face it anytime you roll up to a parking lot with a cloud is smoke plumming for blackened smoke stacks you can well assume your in for a treat. I strictly come for the brisket. It's meaty , greasy and it's meat soul has been rendered down for 12 to 15 hours of smoke inhalation for my flesh consumption needs. When ordering make sure you understand which part of the brisket you get. My recommendation is you get the larger fattier end for a more tasteful and if your one of those health consciences then option for lean end. And since I'm a no sauce kinda guy I ask for "NO SAUCE" cause I love the taste of flesh not sauce. The rest of meat pleasures are listed on the board along with daily specials. If you having a party Jones BBQ has party trays available but I recommend ordering in advance. The Jones know how to smoke so take advantage of it and eat smoked meat. read more
