We love grabbing KC Deez for special events like Super Bowl and 4th of July. We like picking up the brisket and the baked beans are hands down, the best baked beans I've ever had!! A tip: the store hours can vary. So plan ahead if you want to pick up for a special day or holiday. You can place an order a day or two ahead. We find that 1/2 lb per person of the brisket is good, you may need less if purchasing other meats. If I have to pick up well in advance of our party, I'll just reheat at low temp covered to avoid drying out. Give this place a try!!! read more

Saw the KC sign as we were driving to a nearby place. Had to stop by on the way out. At first glance the place is very clean. Very modern compared to the spots I've been to in Kansas City. Ordered burnt ends meal (duh) with potato salad + baked beans, brisket and sausage by the lb. Very KC style with the BBQ sauce, pickles and bread. My favorite was the sausage. It had good spice. Baked beans were also great. When I compare to actual Kansas City BBQ, it fell a bit flat. The service definitely reminded me of the Midwest - warm and welcoming. read more

It's just not good food. I'm sorry to break it to yall but I've had the many times and it's bland and tasteless meat.

We ordered brisket and if this is what you call bbq brisket then your better off serving cafeteria food, there was no flavor at all, bbq has a smoke ring yours has no ring like Dan Marino no ring. The Cole slaw tasted old and watery the burnt ends weren't even burnt and had zero flavor. For the $65 we dropped I should have just bought a brisket and did it at home. I hope KC is your name and not where your from because this was a very poor representation of BBQ read more

KC Deez BBQ - BBQ Sauce was very watery - Barbeque Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

Would I order from or eat here again? YES. Overall I enjoyed most of the food and I'll go into detail a little more below, also note this was ordered off door dash so my experience and prices may be a little different. Burnt Ends - this was probably the most disappointing out of my order. It comes with a decent amount of meat and had I ate it all I would have been a little more full. For 16$ I was a little disappointed in the quality - most of the meat was extremely dry and required me to drink something just to get it down. On top of that some of the pieces were so dry it literally took me 40 seconds to break it down in my mouth. Some pieces were very tender and full of flavor and some of the more (very burnt ends) were like biting down on a hard candy lifesaver. Beef Brisket Slider - 8/10. I loved the flavor and the meat was so tender and juicy, thinking about it now with some pickles and bbq sauce on top is making my mouth water but the bun is barely a tad larger than a Hawaiian roll. You get more meat than will fit in the single bun which is nice but the slider itself is smaller than my palm and for nearly 7$ (not filling, I would recommend 2 orders) Slaw and Beans - I'll have to admit that the other reviews skewed me towards these options as I was going to choose my favorite potato salad but everyone claimed both the slaw and beans were worthy of a taste AND THEY WERE RIGHT. I'm not a huge slaw fan but this slaw was amazing. I actually wanted more and finished the entire bit. You get a good taste of everything and some fresh cracked black pepper. It's not too over saturated with dressing and honestly just right. The beans were also very delicious and comforting with some bits of diced onion inside. I enjoyed the beans very much but the slaw was the overall winner. read more

First time here. The lady at the counter was very patient and helpful. Service A+ We get home and open up all the containers. Here is the break down: 1. Brisket - pretty good maybe a little dry but fine 2. Pork Ribs - good flavor. A little "Too off the bone" for me 3. Beans were runny BUT they turned out to be amazing. Fantastic beans 4. Potato salad - average 5. Cole slaw - yum 6. BBQ sauce. It was very runny but had a good, unique taste read more

We got dinner on a weeknight, place was basically dead. We did get a discount on the dinner since we came in before 6pm. We ordered the half chicken and pork rib dinners with an additional order of the sausage. Chicken was very dry. I salvaged them the next day by adding a boat load of mayo to make chicken salad. Pork ribs were decent and sausage was dry as well. Bbq sauce is on the watery side (is that kc style?). I did like the beans though. read more

Growing up in the Midwest my soul has craved for some delicious BBQ from Missouri and I found what I have been looking for! The restaurant does not have dine in, carry out only and they are located at the Federal way farmers market with their food truck. We ordered the brisket, rib tips, baked beans and potato salad. The entire meal came with slice white bread, pickles and sauce. The food was so delicious, the rib tips were our favorite only because the brisket was tasty but a little dry. Brisket is a difficult meat to smoke and keep juicy-pretty much baby siting the meat-I've made brisket at home and it takes time!!!!! The restaurant was very clean, well organized, lots of options to choose from, they offer bottled soda and I didn't see any dessert options but there's plenty of bakery's near if you have a sweet tooth afterwards. The lady who greeted us was friendly, polite and welcoming. Answering all my list of questions and made sure we received our complete order before leaving. Overall the entire meal was filling, full of flavor, tasty and felt like home while I eating it. I could picture sitting outside on my granny's front pouch, with the aroma of smoked meat in the air! Thank you for reminding me of home, I will definitely return when we're in the area. As always my people, stay safe and health out there! Please continue to support our local businesses and spread the love ;0) See you all at my next bit *=* read more

I love BBQ and finding the right place can be hard but this place is spot on! The staff is very friendly, the order process was smooth (I suggest you save some $$ and call in your take out) and it was ready in a flash! Highly recommend!!! read more

Federal Way WA. Tried this place out and it was okay. My girl is from KC and makes her own rub and sauce so she is hard to beat. The slaw was really salty and if it wasn't, would have probably been okay. I like the pickles with everything. Not high Q but nice cut to the smoke. I thought initially there was liquid smoke in the sauce but my body said no. Believe me, it knows. So not sure why the smoky flavor but I did like. Brisket was a little tough, but I got served the flat and not the point. I think when a single person is ordering multiple items that shouldn't all come with bread. I threw most away. Maybe ask? I definitely would have said no bread. read more

Yummy ass bbq but I'm not fond of their sides but the slaw is less desirable. Service was impeccable.

This place is legit! Very clean, nice ambiance, good music. Great service and the food was FANTASTIC Reasonable prices. Highly recommend read more

Excellent food and attitudes! Some of the best BBQ I have had outside of places in Kansas City!

My wife and I decided to try a new spot we saw today. As we walked in, the smells were amazing HOWEVER, very deceiving. The service was okay, the gentleman who took our order was kind. Our biggest issue was the food. I find it to be a travesty when a bbq restaurant serves RESERS POTATO SALAD...not even homemade??? C'mon man....that's wack, why are you not taking pride and making your own? My other frustration was the burnt end dinner I ordered...I paid $19 for 4 burnt end pieces that were basically just fat, 2 pieces that were inedible and so tough I couldn't eat them, I had maybe a few good pieces but even then, the meat itself was LACKING in the flavor department. They sprinkled some type seasoning on top that was too sweet and overpowered any flavor the meat may have had. Spent $35 and had a 1 star experience. I'm highly disappointed. SMH read more

Tried this place for the first time, only ordered sides. The potatoe salad was watery, coleslaw was hella salty, and the beans was okay. Don't think I'll be coming back. read more

The BBQ here is hands down the best locally that I am aware of! I used delivery through Yelp and had Chicken Sliders and the best baked beans! So much delicious food! It was the second time trying and I was not disappointed. It's nice to support family businesses as well. Big quality portions of awesome food with deliciousness! read more

I was craving BBQ and made a stop at KC Deez around 12:30 for lunch. I instantly eyed the 2-meat combo plate ($11.50) so I could sample a couple items, which also includes a small cup of coleslaw, bread, pickles and extra BBQ sauce. Despite being open from 11:00 to 2:00, they had already run out of both chicken AND pulled pork, which were my first two picks. Lesson learned: Beat the lunch rush and come early! The cashier listed off their other offerings including "burnt ends" (apparently their most popular), sausage, beef brisket, ribs and rib tips. I opted for the rib tips and brisket. The brisket was delicious - tender, juicy and easily pulled apart with my fork. Although I enjoyed the BBQ sauce, which was on the tangier side of the spectrum, the consistency was pretty thin. The brisket came in the form of a slider, and unfortunately my bottom bun was soaked through with BBQ sauce, making it completely soggy and inedible. As for the rib tips, they were on the drier end and I found the flavor of the meat masked by an overwhelming amount of smokiness. They tasted strongly of charcoal or liquid smoke... way too overpowering for my liking. As a plus, I loved the coleslaw and wish the combo included a larger portion than just a small cup. It was so refreshing and had a nice spicy kick from the dash of red pepper flakes mixed in. This is definitely one of the best coleslaws I've ever eaten! Overall, I honestly felt disappointed with my lunch. Perhaps I would have been more satisfied with the chicken and pork as I intended to order, but it seems like those two meats were winners among the lunch crowd that day as well. read more

KC Deez BBQ - 2-Meat combo | Rib Tips + Beef Brisket ($11.5) - Barbeque Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

My friend told me about this place. KC Deez has it down! I had the full rack of pork rib, and it's smokey and the meat peels right off the bone. It's perfect. I like the BBQ sauce they make too. The brisket is pretty good too. I had a pulled pork slider to see what they pulled pork was like.. it's pretty good. Here's one thing.. I'm not from Texas, Kansas City, or anywhere where BBQ is huge to the local food culture.. so I can't speak or compare it to much.. but from a personal taste perspective, I think the food is here is really great. Besides the Korean restaurants and a few other locally-owned spots here and there, FW for the most part sucks when it comes to food (not into chains). Thankfully, KC Deez BBQ is here to serve up some seriously delicious BBQ. They had the food truck at the FW Farmers Market before, and this physical location is all takeout/delivery. You can even order via Yelp by GrubHub. If you're in FW and want something good, I'd point you to the Twin Lakes area and get some KC Deez BBQ. Support black-owned business! read more

Wow!!!! I should have taken a picture but I got caught up in the moment. I grew up in this neighborhood years ago but we recently bought a house where we moved from Whitecenter in Seattle... There are a lot of good BBQ spots in west Seattle and south Seattle so let me tell you. My wife told me about the $20 Sunday ribs so we decided to try it.... OMG those ribs were sooooo delicious!! I've traveled the world and country and I won't say they're the best I've ever had, but right now they are the best I can remember. We will be definitely returning to try everything on the menu. I wasn't there to pick up the food but my wife said it's a little hole in the wall. The location is clean and seems to be kept up. The woman working the counter was very sweet and helpful. We will surely be frequent customers. The only thing we left wondering, do any of your customers ask if y'all can make mash potatoes and gravy as a side? :) read more

This food is nasty, how is this place still in business. I don't recommend this too anybody.It taste as if they made the day before. Potato salad watery, beans ok about 2 , Meat ribs please I didn't even give to the dog . Y'all can't cook I'm sorry , I ain't never coming back , I ain't gonna pass by the place again.. If this how it is in K C I won't go there neither. SAD read more

Happy guys working the food truck that parked out by my work. They loaded up my sliders. The BBQ is vinegar based and while not my fave kind of sauce, it was good! The meat was really tender and juicy. The slaw was good as well. Would try again and appreciate the friendly service! Food: 4 Service: 5 read more

I've been looking for some authentic BBQ to remind me of back home and this place has all the flavors! This was my first time trying this place just happen to be driving by and swooped in. I ordered their lunch special 2 sliders and a side for about $10. I got the chopped chicken and slaw. The slaw was perfect, had just the right amount of sauce in it. The chopped chicken had a nice mesquite flavor to it, personally I prefer pulled chicken but still a win in my book. The two containers of BBQ sauce were good and complimented the meat, just wish it's wasn't so watery or oily then again I'm use to thicker sauce. read more

Good Kansas City BBQ. Great people. Nice portion for meat. Will return for more in the future!

The food was delicious. I ordered to go over the phone and picked up. They was on time with my order and made sure I had everything I ordered as I was leaving. Everyone at our get together all loved the burnt ends. Was so good. Nothing was left over. Thank you read more

This place now open!!!!! You have to try it out. The food is delicious and the people are friendly and always smiling. My family are regulars to the truck on the weekends, almost got scared the store would never open. THE WAIT IS OVER! :) They have ribs, burnt ends, rib tips, "wangz", the juiciest brisket you will ever eat, sandwiches, combos, baked beans, coleslaw... need i continue. I haven't even touched on how flavorful the Kansas City sauce is- we know the BBQ is about the sauce. I highly recommend this local gem. I will post pics at next visit if it lasts hahahahaha- now that we don't have to wait for the weekend wooohooooo! read more

**update**12/1/19 I love this place. The restaurant is convenient and they're always so friendly and greeting their customers with warm smiles. The food is so good I can't even get over it. Brisket sliders are the way to go. Two of them for me was filling and side of potato salad. The meat is freshly smoked and savory and filled with the best bbq flavor you could ask for. Don't waste your time at any of these wanna be bbq places, come support KC This place is good! Driven by the truck so many times at farmers market but never had the chance to stop by. Saw the truck parked by the new store front and ordered the burned ends brisket sandwich. I was impressed! Filling and tasty. read more

Food Truck Wednesday!!!! This truck come 1-2 times a month that I've seen to the Seatac Office Center. Order the two meat combo (pulled pork and brisket). Now im from the midwest and appreciate a good seasoned meat without sauce. Ive learned some people slather the meat in sauce and there is no flavor else wise. 1. When picking up from the truck make sure you have the order #. 2. The meat itself has little seasoning, better with slaw or sauce. 3. The slaw has a hidden kick. It was surprising and I searched until i found the better flakes. It looks like a heavy mayo base, it is in fact more vinegar based. With the two meats come as over filled sliders. There is a good smoke flavor. They do deserve another try. The menu says comes with pickles... They were missing from this order read more

KC Deez BBQ - 2 meats (pulled pork and brisket) Missing pickles - Barbeque Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

The service was good... Demarco was manning the checkout and provided friendly conversation during the short wait for our order. The kid was cute. Our food received mixed reviews from the six of us. The brisket sliders were very good and packed with more brisket than the small bun could handle (see picture... not complaining, this was a nice feature). The burnt ends, normally my favorite Q, were so dry I had to drench them in the tasty sauce. The chicken was very good, and the beans above average. Have had better Q, but this small family owned operation provides Federal Way with a much needed option in this Oriental/Mexican/Fast Food dominated market. read more

New to the area. Food was good 2 out of the 3 times but I blame myself for the last visit because it was maybe 45 minutes before they closed

They are so professional, and the food is delicious. Do yourself a favor and have some great bbq.

I got food poisoning from here. Food tasted stale and old and overpowered with sauce.

In the midst of Covid, we've been choosing to support small businesses like many others. Our fam has been wanting to try this place since the storefront opened and we're glad to have finally made the time. We drive past often, and that smoky scent consumes the air in the entire surrounding area- in the best way! Service was really friendly and our takeout order was ready on time. Portions are sufficient, we went family style and shared all of the entrees. We ordered the pulled pork, brisket, and a half rack of ribs with sides of potato salad, beans and of course coleslaw. YUM! Everything was tender and/or fall-off-the-bone (ribs also had a good lil crunch from all the seasoning) and when requesting extra bbq sauce, they do not disappoint! Highly recommend! read more

Customer service not so great and the food has no taste or flavor to it. The chicken and bbq tips were dry. Extremely disappointed.

The hot links were so salty they were impossible to eat. When I told the server, she stated there is a sauce that is used to cut the saltiness. To me that is a sign that this has been an issue in the past. If so, why isn't the sauce served with the dish? This is not the place... read more

Grabbed lunch today from this hidden gem! It was delicious. The ribs and rib tips did not disappoint.

I ordered the 3 meat combo which I selected sausage, burnt ends and rib tips. The whole entree set me back $16.50 with tax figured in. It wasn't a worthwhile experience. I felt like I was chewing on beef jerky. I recommend against this place, I'm highly disappointed. read more

KC Deez BBQ is a great choice for barbecue in Federal Way/NE Tacoma. I am not sure I would call it a restaurant because there is no option for indoor or outdoor dining on the premises. It is a bit more like visiting a kitchen where you get your meals packaged to go. We have tried about half of the menu items. Our favorites include the burnt ends, the brisket, and of course the baked beans. The burnt ends are smokey and flavorful. The brisket is also worth ordering, but be advised that it is sold out from time to time. The beans are great. With chunks of sausage and peppers in a sweet sauce, the beans feel like a meal in themselves. It also feels good to support a small, independent business. read more

I've lived in the Midwest and the South for a few years, so I know great BBQ... and this wasn't that. I went to KC Deez for the first time and the only reason I would go back is for the pork ribs. It's edible, but not crave-able. The good: - Pork ribs fall of the bone goodness and a decent portion for the dinner plate. The dry rub on it was decent. - The beans were good, nice and soft with good flavor. - Decent BBQ sauce that came with the food and they gave plenty. - Clean front of the house. Can't comment on the kitchen because I couldn't see it. - Lady at the counter did her job and was friendly enough. The bad: - DON'T order the beef brisket unless you like eating saw dust. I couldn't eat it even after dipping it in the sauce. I ended up smashing it into smaller pieces and threw them in with the beans. Texture was soft and flaky, but they need to figure out the dryness problem. - Pickles as a condiment was nice, but they were soft and rubbery. Threw them into the compost. - Cole slaw also ended up in the compost. It was SO runny... perhaps I needed a slotted spoon. Flavor not good either. - Price didn't match the quality of food. read more
