We came here with our friends and our kids and had a great time! $33ish dollars for a whole brisket dip sandwhich meal, a half brisket sandwhich meal, which came with sides for both of us, two drinks and a corn bread muffin. Seriously a huge deal for the current market of going out to lunch. The only problem is if your group is bigger than 4 people you might have trouble finding enough space. It's nice and clean, really comfy. Food tasted delicious, super soft and tasty, you can tell it's not just the run of the mill barbecue sauce and it's different than most places but yummy. I'd personally prefer a potato chip over tortilla chips but that really wasn't a big deal. The guy who took our order was super nice! I used to just go to J+L but We'll be coming back here for sure. read more

Best BBQ sandwiches ever. And don't get me started on the mac and cheese. its fast easy and great. don't listen to the other reviews go here NOW! read more

Terrible food and service. The meat is dry and doesn't even appear smoked. An unpleasant experience all around.

Worst food and service I ever had. Somehow the BBQ chicken was burnt to a crisp and somehow served cold. I asked to change the order and the counter person shrugged and stormed off in an emotional meltdown. Avoid at all costs read more

Stopped in here today when searching for smoked salmon to give as a gift. When I called they were super helpful in giving me the information I needed and that convinced me to brave black Friday and drive up to secure the salmon goods. It's to the right of the Safeway and I missed it the first time I drove by, just a small shop with a smoke house sign up top. I was greeted by a nice guy at the register casually watching the game and he helped me get the salmon I came for as well as a few other smoked goods including homemade jerky and sticks. While I wasn't planning on eating, finding out that their bbq was all gluten free made my stomach suddenly weak with hunger. The guy helping me knew all about gf and assured me I could have the pulled pork bowl. It was ready in a jiffy and I headed home with my unexpected lunch. The portion was just perfect for me and came with a bag of chips, bbq pork with coleslaw on top and beans underneath. Very satisfying. He said they do ribs Friday so I'll be coming back and bringing the husband who always has a hankering for ribs. read more

Larry's Smokehouse is very misleading. Maybe there is a Larry (or there was at one point), but that is the only thing the within the name of the establishment that is correct. Walked in on a Monday afternoon and decided to lets try the smoke pork and the brisket. Got a 3/4# of each. Upon getting it home, I open the package and the pork looked decent, but lacked any color you would expect from a smoke. The brisket was resembled more of boiled roast beef slices that an college dorm cafeteria would serve. Either way, both meats lacked any sense of smoke flavor (and/or salt. At the very least, season the meat. Perhaps that is why they gave me enough BBQ sauce to drown the meat. Would I eat it again? Probably not. There is an Albertson next door and I am sure their deli has some sort of bbq in the hot case. read more

Sadly, another no for a BBQ joint. This place seems to engender controversy in its Yelp reviews. Some love it. Some hate it. And it seems to be largely customer service related. More on that in a minute. Larry's Smokehouse has been around awhile and has moved several times. Larry sold the business to his daughter and son-in-law and isn't involved anymore. The good? The meat (well, the brisket I tried) isn't dry at least. Some complain about the fat. That indicates a lack of much exposure to good BBQ brisket in Texas. Brisket SHOULD BE A BIT FATTY. At least Larry's got that right. And the BBQ sauce is tasty. Mac and cheese is tasty, if rather pedestrian. The beans were good. But where's the smoke? Because my brisket was like roast beef and had zero smoke flavor. And it was served drenched in BBQ sauce. Tasted okay and wasn't dry, but it wasn't BBQ. It was roast beef. The cornbread was okay, but had the texture of cornbread that's been frozen and thawed to be served. And it was very dense, but not in a good way. Just nothing to write home about. They bottle and sell that BBQ sauce, and now I wish I had looked at a jar to see what the ingredients were because... They also make and sell (and are very proud) of their smoked salmon. It's "wild Atlantic salmon from Canada." What? Umm. Okay. We live in the Pacific Northwest, with some of the world's finest wild Pacific salmon readily available. I am not going to support Atlantic salmon in WA State. So, I have no idea if this smoked salmon is any good or not. Oh, and the smoke? EVERYTHING here that is smoked is smoked with Alder wood. Wait, to be clear, it's from alder wood PELLETS. Not even whole wood. Okay, that explains the lack of smoke flavor in the brisket. Alder is great for fish. Not so much for other meats, and that shows here. And pellets are an attempt to sterilize what is the messy and exacting art of traditional wood fired BBQ. They are the lazy man's attempt at BBQ, and they fail in all but the most skilled hands. I have yet to find a BBQ restaurant that uses pellets and does a fantastic job. I have eaten with a few home chefs who manage to pull it off, but it usually requires almost as much effort in the process as just using real wood. Customer service was coldly efficient and dull, but it seemed there was a certain something brewing right below the surface the entire time I was there. It felt like the owners were tired and just going through the motions. So, I could see what some describe as horrific customer service experiences (especially with catering) happening. After dining it and experiencing the atmosphere and the food, I wouldn't want to have them cater anything. This place is a big no from me. read more

If you are from the area, you know that Larry's has been around forever. In their current location, I would say the menu is limited, but what they do have is very good. Personally I love their brisket French dip sandwich. Large portion. Comes with chips and a side. Everything tastes good and is fresh. read more

Worst barbecue I've ever had. The brisket was not freshly hand carved. As another reviewer mentioned, the meat looked like boiled roast beef, not smoked brisket. The brisket was thin deli style slices slathered in a barbecue sauce instead of the sauce being on the side. The meat wasn't tender and didn't measure up to the standard for brisket to slowly separate as you gently pull on one end of the slice with no resistance. I ate one bite and tossed it. The potato salad is good but that's it. The man at the counter was very rude when I inquired about the salmon used for the smoked salmon saying "you wouldn't know the difference between species." He doesn't know me. The salmon is being smoked wrong if you can't tell a chinook from a sockeye from a coho. All you're tasting is smoke then. Why would you use Atlantic salmon when you're in the Pacific Northwest? I regret buying food after this exchange. This was my first time and will be my last time at your establishment. read more

Larry's Smokehouse - Beef Brisket Dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Snohomish, Washington

Heard of this place by a couple of my friends when they were in Bothell but now they moved over to Snohomish which doesn't bother me because how close I am to it! Right now they are only doing take out but there are a couple of picnic tables outside that you can sit down and enjoy the delicious bbq! I was so surprise on how affordable the food here was! Everything was a fair price and you get a lot for how much you pay! I decided to try their smoked brisket sandwich(half) and their poor boy sandwich(half) and with each half sandwich you order, you also get a small side of either potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans or mac & cheese! It might be a hard choice but their potato salad was delicious! Lastly, you get a small bag of chips too! With both of the sandwich I ordered, it was only $16 after tax and tip! So you would only pay 6 if you get half a sandwich. You can't beat that at all! And trust me you will be satisfied and filled. I defiantly will be coming back to try their other meat choice that they have! Also if you like smoked salmon, they do sell small pieces that you can buy to take home too! So make sure to come and try Larry's Smokehouse and support their small business! read more

very good food they have a french dip made with smoked brisket best one i have ever eaten

When we walked in, the man behind the counter put his mask on. I can understand the frustration with having to wear a mask at this time, however that defeats the entire purpose of a mask to prevent spread of covid symptomatic or asymptomatic. Masks are to prevent YOU from spreading something not to prevent you from getting it. Here's hoping he isn't asymptomatic. We tried making friendly small talk seeing as we were the only folks in the place at the time... asked about the business - we enjoy supporting small local businesses. He was disinterested - basically said they've been around since before me but in a dismissive tone. His whole tone was dismissive and perhaps that's due to his complaints about restrictions and requirements. I get it, it sucks right now... but we are here to patron your business in these times - not the McDonalds in your shopping area. The food was okay - not the worst BBQ I've had but I've had better. But the BBQ I've had in the past is mostly southern BBQ so I chalk that up to a regional preference. The BBQ sauce is heavy tomato paste based a bit bland. I was unaware there was a spicy version that if it were not for the rude customer service aspect, I'd have been interested to try on a second visit. In truth, your grievances about the government and lack of care for your community members combined with your irritation that we were interrupting your sportball game soured our experience. I don't think the food was bad, but COVID may not be the only issue this establishment is facing - or at the very least it's magnifying a bad customer experience. read more

You will either love or hate their style of BBQ. For me, I liked it! The people are great, it's easy to access, and they have great hours. Give them a try! read more

Best barbecue in Washington state. I've lived here 50+ years and Larry's brisket and sauce can't be beat!

Just like everyone says, the place is not the easiest to find and the sauce can be too sweet for some... I've had the 1/2 brisket sandwich twice so far and I think it's pretty darn good! The french bread they use is toasted so it's got a tiny little crunch, but still nice and soft in the middle...not like a banh mi that's old and dried out and then baked, so that every bite is like chewing on 200 grit sandpaper. The sandwich has an ok amount of meat, which may or may not be microwaved...although if it was, I think it's still fine. The brisket has been very moist both times, but could use a little more smoke flavor. The sauce is sweet, kind of like a berry jam type of sweet, and is good, just not the type of sauce you'd want on, or in, all of your food (if you were to get more than just a sandwich). All and all, I'd say Larry's is good and definitely worth eating, but they should really think about infusing a little more smoke flavor, going easier on the sauce that's spread on your sandwich (since it is very sweet), and the two ladies should maybe be a tiny bit more friendly. read more

I ordered 2 BBQ pork sandwiches for lunch with potato salad and Mac and cheese. Food was delicious. Big chunks of fat on the pork, which made eating difficult and messy, at times. Food: 4 Customer service at the store; when I walked in, the man at the counter with the beard looked at me with disdain, as if I was Really bothering him . It was lunch time. My desire for BBQ was stronger than his will for me to go away, so I stayed. I was really hoping the woman behind the counter would take my order, but no such luck. He grunted something about taking my order and didn't say anything else. As I waited for my food I couldn't believe that "Larry" would treat customers so badly and still be in business all these years. Turns out it wasn't Larry, but that guy sure is making Larry and his legacy look bad. Not going back. Customer service: No stars read more

Weekday afternoon: ordered takeaway. We split a brisket sandwich and a pulled pork bowl. Their BBQ sauce is strange... almost the consistency of apple sauce and it is extremely sweet. Sadly the meat was sliced paper thin and thus was dry. The pulled pork bowl as a whole was pretty good, just don't add any of that weird bbq sauce. The potato salad was basic and the Mac and cheese was also very basic. read more

My go-to for flavorful smoked meats in Snohomish. Love the brisket by the pound, and the smoked salmon is delicious.

10/10. I tried the brisket sandwich and would definitely recommend. They've got the meats!

I just had the beef brisket sandwich. The best French Dip I've ever had. Tons of meat, slightly crispy French roll, the meat was moist, slightly crispy edges and flavorful. Au Jus was hot and good flavor. Excellent meal! Thank you Larry's! read more

The brisket French dip sandwich is the best French dip I have ever have, and I have traveled all over the country, look at my other reviews if you don't believe me. 1. First off Larrys is a gem in Mill Creek. It is a family run business and the day I went I believe the grandson of Larry was running the spot. It is comfortable and you feel like you are in the country at a bbq shack. There is plenty of seating, and if the weather is nice there are benches setup outside. 2. The service is excellent. Like I mentioned it is family run and they take pride in putting out a quality product. Thomas(I hope that's his name) explained the smoking process and went through each sandwich describing each one, the sides and the different sizes. 3. Ok now we have arrived: the brisket French dip sandwich!!!! The brisket is smoked for 8 hrs and die the sandwich they pile a mound of thin sliced brisket, which is melt in your mouth quality. It was like a nice piece of prime rib with a faint smokey flavor. They give a nice sized cup of Au jus for dipping, and the bread is like an Italian loaf, chewy, soft and perfect for bbq sandwiches. It was a huge, moist, flavorful, beefy, smokey sandwich. In addition they also have their bbq sauce on the table that you can add if you want. The side I had was coleslaw which was good, crisp cabbage and a nice sweet mayonnaise sauce. But the sandwich is just simply amazing. Lastly it was only $10 for a whole huge sandwich you can get a half for $5 but I recommend getting a whole and then taking it home if you don't finish. This was a true gem and I was honored to be blessed by larrys smokehouse, no doubt I'll Be back and I might order 2 or 3 French dip sandwiches! read more

Larry's is a bright star in the culinary desert of Cathcart. The Smokehouse is new to the neighborhood, but has been in south Snohomish county at different locations for many years. Its straight to the point menu offers all the expected fare for a BBQ joint, plus smoked salmon. The storefront is modest with only a few indoor seats and no outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and the to-go service was very prompt. The food earns Larry's a very strong 4 star. I ordered the brisket with beans, coleslaw, and cornbread muffin. It was almost $15 for the dinner. The brisket was generous, the sides were a bit small for the price. The brisket and sauce would 5 star all day; however, it was rather fatty. Larry, don't forget to trim the brisket and cut the pieces a bit thicker. Yes, I highly recommend, I will return. read more

Pretty darn good place. I lived in Dallas for a few years so I have a bit of perspective. This joint would fit in nicely in a small town in Texas in that the servings are generous and traditional. Dickey's it is not and I mean that in the most positive sense I had the pulled pork sandwich and as you would hope it was minimally dressed so that you can adjust the sauce as you see fit. The pork was had a good flavor. I also got the baked beans and potatoes salad which were good but of course you don't go to a BBQ joint for sides. All in all a nice local business that delivers a solid product. I recommend giving it a try, it might just be your cup of tea read more

This food is made for an retirement community everything was bland and had no real flavor and I don't think anything was even smoked except the salmon, which had no real flavor. Straight junk. read more

FOOD TRUCK: This is my favorite food truck. It comes to my work about twice a month and I cant wait. I started off getting the pulled pork sandwich which came with chips for 5 bucks. Can't beat that price anywhere. The meat is always tender, unless you like a lot of sauce, I'd ask for it on the side. Their brisket is also good. I haven't tried the chicken but they have that as well. Then.... I discovered the smoked salmon. Game changer for sure and my go-to always. I literally CRAVE it. For only $10 you get a container of smoked salmon, crispy lettuce, a good ceasar dressing in a container and croutons in a container so you can add to your liking. I find I'm always full by the end of the salad which is hard to do with me. The gentleman running the food truck is so nice and personable. I really enjoy his friendliness. He's like a long lost friend you get reacquainted with. Overall I have only had the best of experiences here. I look forward to eating at the restaurant in the future. read more

WOW - if I could rate Larry's Smokehouse a ZERO I would. I ordered 4lbs ($115) of smoked salmon online to be shipped to Arizona. Nowhere did I see how or when it was going to be shipped. As I now found out, it was shipped USPS. Also, I assumed that it would be shipped in a dry-ice packed box - especially since it is summer and no delivery trucks (whether it's USPS or UPS) are even air conditioned. NOPE - no dry ice pack! And, assumed I would get an email telling me when and how it was shipped, tracking number, etc. NOPE! We live in a rural area where our mailbox is a 30 minute round trip drive so we don't check it every day. And, the mail person here does not deliver mail to the door. The last time we checked our mail was Saturday - had no reason to because I was never informed that this order would be delivered USPS. Today is Wednesday and it was in our mailbox. We aren't sure how long it had been sitting in 90+ degree heat. According to the shipping label, the package appears to have been mailed on 6/23/2022 and the expected delivery date of 6/27/2022. That itself is 4 days unrefrigerated in hot postal trucks. The EXTREMELY rude and snarky gentleman at Larry's told me it wasn't their problem that I was never informed of when or how the product was shipped or given a tracking number. He said he couldn't look up my order to check exactly when it was mailed or when I received it. He also just kept repeating every word I said in a sarcastic manner (not even letting me finish my sentence) and just kept saying that it wasn't their problem - he kept saying that I should check my mail everyday (again, I wasn't informed when or how it was to be shipped). When I opened the shipping box, the salmon was hot - and so $115 of smoked salmon is going in the trash because I don't want to take a chance on getting food poisoning. I'm really surprised that a company that sells and ships a food product like this, and knowing it's going to Arizona (where it's hot) doesn't ship their product in dry ice. And, also surprised that they don't send customers emails when the product is shipped with the shipping information. Also, I was really floored by how rude, snarky and condescending the gentleman on the phone was to me. He just kept saying it wasn't their problem. Larry's website says "Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed !!!" - well, IT'S NOT - they don't live up to their promise! Larry's Smokehouse - you need to get better customer service people answering your phone, communicate with your customers on shipments, and if you're shipping in the summer your product needs to be packaged in dry ice. And, stop blaming your customers for your lack of communication. read more

Great prices and friendly staff. The brisket sandwich was absolutely delicious! Tender meat, sweeter bbq sauce with a slight heat and soft bread. Coleslaw side was delicious, too. I haven't had good barbecue since I left Tennessee and I am really glad I discovered this spot. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

They catered an event at work, and it was AMAZING. They brought pulled pork and brisket. I chose the brisket, but got a taste of the pulled pork. Can we talk about how epic these were?? Oh wow - the brisket had such amazing flavor, and the sauce perfectly complimented the smoky brisket. The sauce was like no other I've ever experienced - the perfect balance of sweet, smoky with just a slight zing of spice. The buns they chose were the perfect compliment to the rest of the sandwich. We are going to the actual restaurant tomorrow. read more

Review is for the food truck that stops by my work 2 - 3x a month. It's the cheapest food truck that stops by work. $5 gets you a sandwich + bag of chips. The sandwich is chicken, pulled pork or beef brisket in a sandwich roll, topped with BBQ sauce. The meat is moist and tender, though lightly seasoned for my taste (this is probably so it doesn't overwhelm with the BBQ). There's also other items like smoked salmon and pepperoni. Both of which are delicious. I usually buy these to take home. Nothing like smoked salmon for dinner and pepperoni snacks for a hike. read more

Larry's has GREAT French Dip sandwiches! However, that's probably the only good thing about this place.... The employees act like they hate their job, & don't want to be there. Whenever you speak to them, their attitude is like you're bothering them & they just wish you would leave. No smiling, no enthusiasm, etc. Also, on more than one occasion, I have been here to order food & ended up leaving because the staff was in the parking lot literally screaming obscenities at each other back & forth from the opening of the restaurant, to where a white truck was parked... Things like f you, I hate you, etc etc. One time, it was so bad that other employees of the surrounding & nearby businesses came outside to see what was happening!! Not professional at all if you ask me. I've also seen the younger male employee smoking cigarettes out front, & spitting. I have severe asthma, & being around cigarette smoke usually triggers an asthma attack for me, so a couple times I ended up driving right by instead because of that. The grounds around Larry's, are covered in cigarette butts from them just tossing them anywhere they please. I'm wondering if any of this has to do with the fact that they are no longer open for business here. Drove by yesterday to hopefully get a French Dip, but it's closed for business. There's nothing left inside, you can see through the windows, everything is pretty much gone. I hope they resolve all these negative issues, & relocate, cause I'm missing their French Dip! I would have given more stars, but those negatives really kill the vibe for me, & make it impossible for me to get food there without possibly have to go to the hospital. read more

The fiancé and told me about Larry's a million times and I always kind of poopood it, not imagining delicious BBQ to be in a little strip mall in Mill Creek. Well today I changed my tune. The man swung by and picked up BBQ for lunch. He had the po boy and the BBQ chicken. I took a bite of the po boy and it was delicious... It looked like it had salami or something on it. I ate the French dip which was super moist and came on the perfect roll. The ajus was also yummy and not too salty as is often the case w aujus. The sides of coleslaw and BBQ beams were also completely worthy. Guess I'm lucky to have been convinced of Larry's deliciousness, it's just down the road from work. Woohoo! read more

This review is for Larry's smokehouse's food truck that came by my workplace. The deal they had that day was either a brisket or pulled pork sandwich plus a bag of chips for $5. The sandwich was of a pretty decent size. I got the pulled pork sandwich. The pulled pork was tender and juicy. The only thing I had against the sandwich was that the BBQ sauce was missing something. It was missing some spiciness or smokey flavors. But honestly for the price I can't be that picky. If Larry's smokehouse came by my workplace again I'd definitely go back. read more
