Tough place to review for me. ordered the plate that got me basically everything they do. Ill start with the bad. The brisket. Whoa... no way they can serve that and call themselves BBQ. More like chipped beef or something. It was tough and dry. Really bad stuff. And thats really it for the bad. The good: Basically everything else. The smoked turkey, chicken thighs, pulled pork, mac and cheese, beans, etc. Was all very good. Its a shame because this place would be 5 stars if they could cook brisket. Service was absolutely outstanding though. read more

Had the BBQ sausage and brisket, Debbie had the Cow Tip Dip (French Dip) our meals were incredible! The server was very helpful with input on our choices and options for our dinner! Very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back, many items on the menu I will be trying! read more

We discovered this gem 2 weeks ago. Had to come back tonight! Last week I had the Pull pork sandwich and my husband had the smoked brisket. So much delicious food!!! Tonight we shared the "small" Outlaw nachos with smoked brisket. They had nacho cheese, regular cheese, onions, tomatoes, pickle jalapeños, and seasoned chips. Every bite, I say every bite WAS DELICIOUS! Plenty of food! I hear the large could feed 4-6. I had a Moscow mule to drink and had to have 2!!! Yum. Service is top notch. Very friendly. Covid - 19 precautions are in place. I highly recommend you go as soon as possible!!! read more

Love this place!! Drinks and food are great! The desserts....nothing more to say! The staff is pretty awesome too!

Looks great, tastes aweful. This place seemed promising. Smelled great and had a country feel. The first red flag was the wait time. The place was empty, but brisket and nachos took a half hour. Smoked brisket is cooked for hours, so it's either ready when you order it, or you can come back tomorrow. The nachos were super soggy chips topped with super dry brisket. We scraped it off and decided to give the half pound a try. It was not as dry, but still super dry. In my opinion, the very worst part was the complete lack of seasoning on the brisket. It almost seemed oven baked and completely lacked flavor. read more

Love the choices and the sides! The sauces on the table are incredible! I find the smoke flavor to be too strong in much of the food, and found my ribs hard to eat because of it. Also wish they had a better quality lemonade :) read more

It should be illegal having such "not so great" BBQ in Spokane. This restaurant was just ok in all honesty. The service was good and the place was clean. But we personally aren't planning on running back anytime soon. Our homemade BBQ blows this place out of the water. read more

The staff was fun, friendly, and engaging. Very good service. My wife and I had heard lots of good stories about this BBQ restaurant. The western decor has a kind of Texas Roadhouse feel to it. We started off with their fried pickles with their BBQ ranch dipping sauce....FANTASTIC! I tried their 3 meat platter and also got 2 ribs. Starting off with the ribs....they were amazing! The pulled pork wasn't the best I've ever had but it was serviceable. My wife seemed to like it though on her pulled pork nachos with chips that were pretty good too. I chose the sausage as one of the meats expecting it to be more fatty and go with the tradition of BBQ but was disappointed to finally get to it and it was over cooked and it was a local companies effort (Sonnenbergs). Tasted more sweet and almost exactly like Italian sausage which to me wasn't good. I saved what should have been the best for last....but no. The brisket was no-good. Taste more like pot roast that was dry. The smoke ring looked good but did not have the smoke flavor....not sure how you pull this off. I opted to have their cheesy cornbread muffins....they were very dry and the only thing that helped was the maple butter that was provided. The southern mac and cheese was pretty decent. My baked potato was lukewarm also. I do have to say though....the sweet tea was exceptional. For a "Texas" style BBQ place they have quite a way to go to earn that name. They do not offer some of the staples of a traditional Texas BBQ place (fried catfish, black eyed peas, hush puppies, fried okra). Normally when I go to a BBQ place the meats rank more like you should expect....BRISKET, RIBS, and then either SAUSAGE or PULLED PORK......however I rank theirs as follows 1. RIBS 2. PULLED PORK 3/4. BRISKET OR SAUSAGE, INTERCHANGEABLE 4 LAST PLACE. Standouts were.... Fried Pickles Sweet Tea Nacho chips Overall for Spokane its ok BBQ. Being from Texas myself I was disappointed with this trip. I would have made it 2 stars but my wife really liked the pickles and talked me into a 3 star instead. read more

The turkey wrap sandwich is really good. The corn bread is fantastic. The jalapeño corn pasta is also really good. I'll be back for sure.

Texas BBQ this ain't! Sandwich was ok; brisket was cut too soon and was dry. Good flavor, but dry. This Texas boy and put master was not impressed. It's always funny when folks claim a title like Texas BBQ, and then stray from the recipe! read more

Good food, good people! Make the stop, you won't regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Service was great, todays food was ok. My wife and I ordered the brisket salad( I know I get it) it's usually very good. Today they served it with a spring blend of lettuce it wasn't a good match at all. The brisket was bland and it usually has a lot of flavor. Maybe just a bad day we'll give it another chance. read more

Best service I've had in years!!! Food was amazing. Those deserts were so fun for my family to pick out. Nachos were huge and real cheese with brisket. Our waiter was so nice, attentive and the kids loved him. I will be back again and again! read more

Gone are the days when this novel and fun down home good folks and great hospitality place was something to look forward to. Instead you are greeted with pushy and borderline rude servers and food that runs from ice cold ribs to burnt and dry brisket and baked beans from another planet but certainly not bbq. At these prices you'll do well to find a place that at least acts like they appreciate your patronage and can get the food right the first time read more

We both got the two meat plates, huge servings and amazing flavor. The atmosphere is great and the employees are so happy and friendly! We will absolutely be back. Also the ice they used for their tea is my FAVORITE, it's the yummy crushed ice that makes your drink almost like a slushy! We are so excited to also try the valley location. read more

Outlaw BBQ - The two meat plate comes with huge portions and two sides of your choosing! - Barbeque Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I can't say enough good things about this place, 5plus stars. They really came through for us in a last minute us emergency. We found out 16 hours before a Baby shower that we didn't have the food we thought we did, huge disaster when we were expecting 50 people at 2PM the next day. We were coming from out of state state so we were not familiar with the restaurants in the area. We asked what the Mom&Dad to be their favorite restaurant and a few emails later (at 8pm on Friday) I Placed my order and had an invoice within 30 minuets. Order was ready for pickup at noon the next day. Food was amazing as expected, service above and beyond!! Highly recommend read more

Great atmosphere. Great staff. Good food. They are overpriced. A basket of fries which wasn't full basket was over 9 bucks. My husband ordered fries and a soda and the bill was 14.50. read more

This is a nice casual Western vibe with bench seating and tables with chairs. On one side is the bar. There are several TV's so it's a good place to watch sports. When you come in, you seat yourself, but I always go up to the dessert counter and plan ahead. Desserts are made in house and there are always a large variety to choose from. I've been told gently they also have karaoke on some nights! I don't know how anyone can say you don't get a lot of food. Their salads come in huge mixing bowls where they barely fix in a Togo box! My husband ordered the nachos and couldn't finish them (he's not one to leave food behind). Five of my friends also once ordered the nachos and couldn't finish it. If you're having trouble deciding which meat, the pulled pork is my favorite. While they don't have my favorite BBQ in town, the large portions, the friendly service, the dessert bar and the community support (the owner sponsors local rec sports teams) will have me continually coming back. read more

Really good food! Picked up a rack of ribs with all the fixin's for lunch. The ribs were smokey, tasty, and very juicy. The potato salad, fries and macaroni salad were also very good. The cheesy cornbread was totally delicious! (make sure you ask for extra butter!) We ordered by phone and it was super easy. No long wait and they were very courteous and friendly. Excellent meal all around. read more

Really enjoyed their sauces. We split the 3 meat meal and got sausage, brisket, and pulled pork. We came during happy hour which was good prices on their drinks. Everything was pretty good and we had a nice evening out. We will definitely be back read more

I was deeply disappointed after explaining to my roommate how this was my favorite bbq joint in town, but over the last year I've noticed a major decline in portion size, customer service and now a decline in quality of food. My bbq pulled pork sandwich was mediocre at best, the slaw was tasteless. The pork was chewy and the bread was cold along with dry. My roommates bbq brisket "slider"/sandwich weighing in $13.00 had a huge chunk of fat/nerve. When paying that much for a "slider" you would hope it was All brisket and no play. That was definitely not the case. (Refer to picture) I sincerely regret that I referred anyone to this place in the last 6 months. read more

Good food. Good service. Excellent value. But not great barbecue. I wish they incorporated more natural smoke flavor into their meats.

Great!!! First time here. Brisket 9.5/10 Smoked Turkey 9.7/10 Texas Chili 9.4/10 Cole Slaw 8.4/10 Sausage 5.2/10. Everything was spectacular... except the sausage. Take that sausage off menu. It's a bad look. Everything else is so beautiful and awesome.., the sausage ruins it for everything else. read more

Very comfortable place, and delicious lunch. It's great to have more excellent choices for BBQ now, than when I started this little hobby a decade ago. Greeted immediately during a busy lunch, and nothing but smiles from that point on. We went with hand-held fare, and all was fantastic. The brisket on my sam was not just beefy, it was 'beeeeefy,' and I'm totally ripping off their horseradish au jus idea for at-home dining. Clearly, the winner for today, though, was their smoked turkey. Wifey got a wrap (Dirty Bird), and it was so moist, so smokey, and so generous in portion. And while I did my best to assist, there was still more for hungry fellas at home to sample. In that regard, please don't freak on their prices. This place feeds you. They....feed....you. So many hoity-toities make you pay a premium for their over hyped product, and then you wind up hitting up a fast food joint on the way home to fill the void. And trust me, at my age, engorgement is not the first thing I look for in a resto. They have my highest recommendation for lunch, and I'm reasonably sure I will have the same opinion with a dinner feast, here... read more

This is our favorite barbecue place in town. Also, Wednesday nights they do free bingo for everyone while you eat, and they give out all sorts of prizes while you play. read more

Consistently good! The good, the bad, the ugly is enough food for two people, but I usually get it for myself and have leftovers hahaha. When we want BBQ this is the place we go. We're in the valley so we go to the Dishman Mica location. read more

Great sauces and great flavor! The kids really liked it! It was a to go order and the process was quite smooth! We had some remaining sauce (the mustard one) and it was soooo goood! read more

Delicious !!! Let's leave it at that. The food was amazing and was served fast. Our server was great and very friendly. I tried the Mac and cheese with pulled pork and the serving size was huge. I took it home and I ate two more times. It's a must try!! read more

This review is just for their catered food. I was at an offsite meeting where the lunch was from Outlaw BBQ. For a catered meal, it was very good. I now want to check out the restaurant. The good: While the pulled pork was flavorful, especially with the sauces that were provided, I really liked two of the sides....Mac and Cheese was awesome and their coleslaw was flavorful....yes I am praising coleslaw! The roles that were provided were also tender and made for a great sandwich. Desserts were also tasty, and were homemade. What could have been better: The little cornbread muffins were rather dry. The ribs, while tasty, were a little tough compared to what I would like. Yea, I am being a little picky, especially for catered food. i would not hesitate to use Outlaw BBQ for a catered event. The food was tasty and well above many outer places that cater. read more

I'm not going to compare this restaurant to BBQ you would get in Texas. But it is pretty darn good for Spokane! I hosted a backyard get together and ordered the XL The Good, the bad, the ugly. It fed 8 adults and 4 kids well with plenty of leftovers. I upgraded from the white bread to rolls and had a variety of sides. read more

The loaded Mac and Cheese is to die for!!! Pull pork and the Mac and cheese is a perfect combination of sweet and savory.

Very bad experience in the valley the frito pie was terrible service was not good the rib was ok and sauce too but the dinner in whole was overpriced and the tacos were dry and shells were not good at all too the peanut butter pie and huck pie home was no flavor super bland VERY DISAPOINTING have followed for awile and have to say SPEND YOUR MONEY ANYWHERE BUT HERE!!! read more

Gringo Tacos were exactly what I wanted them to be! Good portions too! Slaw was good and flavorful. Loved the different options of sauces that came with the dish! read more

Don't know why anyone would recommend this place. When my brother, his family and I walked in apparently it was bingo night, which was ridiculously loud and not an environment conducive to table side conversation. We ordered our food and upon eating realized that absolutely nothing was good, much less BBQ like. Brisket is garbage, over cooked, dry and bland, turkey is way overcooked and chalky in texture. The sausage tastes like a fried hotdog and was equally unappealing. Let's get into the sides....mac and cheese was overcooked, mushy and unappetizing. The coleslaw is at best under seasoned and lackluster no effort was put into this. The gravy on the baked potato is something out of a can. The baked beans were also bland. On the upside the beer was cold and the white bread and pickles adequate. Don't waste your money. There is a reason why they offer bbq sauce on the table, that is the only source of flavor you'll have. Caveat Emptor!! read more

This is a terrific BBQ spot hidden away on the north side. It's been around a while and we've eaten here a few times but I've never gotten around to extolling its virtues. Since I've never eaten bbq in Texas I cannot speak to how regionally authentic the food is but let me say this, it's awfully darn tasty. Often times at places like this there is a tendency to over smoke but not here. Just the right combination of smoke and seasoning in everything they do. On our last we happened upon their Sunday buffet so we got to sample a lot of everything. Ribs, pulled pork, and chicken were all off the chain. Sad that they didn't have brisket on the buffet because we've enjoyed that on our previous visits. They also had several of their sides on the buffet that included a spicy Tex-mex macaroni salad that seemed to take pleasure in burning your face off (in the best possible way). These folks know how to 'que read more

The barbecue was so very good that it made the uncomfortable seats worth it. The service on drink refills could have been better. The desserts are out of this world!!! This place would've gotten five stars from me if the seating had been more comfortable, and the service had been just a little better read more

I can't thank y'all enough! When my family and I are in Spokane, we always stop by for some fabulous BBQ! Amazing food and service! We are in love with your BBQ sauce and often purchase bottles to go. Well, we've run out and so I reached out to Outlaws to see if they would be willing to ship some to us just in time for the holidays. They did! I ordered 4 bottles, paid the shipping and ended up with a wonderful and unexpected gift basket. Thanks so much! Truly appreciated! We live on the other side of the mountains in the northern Seattle area... so a BIG SHOUT OUT to Outlaw BBQ for not only entertaining my request to ship some sauce, but to go above and beyond! special thanks to Misty and Jon Jingling. As I said in my email, y'all should sell the sauces online for everyone! Happy Holidays! read more

I've come here since it has opened. Love it. The workers are definitely part of the experience

Mediocre. Waited 5+ minutes to get acknowledged... finally had to ask to be seated and was told 'find a seat at the bar or wait until I come get you' Ordered 3 meat plate and the meats were about as warm as the reception we got at the door... there are much better bbq options in town with good service and warm food IMO. read more
