Not the best for authentic bbq. Everything seemed a bit dry and not super flavorful or traditional It was pretty dissapointing for the higher cost read more

Great Austin-inspired BBQ spot with a casual indoor/outdoor setup -- you can sit wherever you'd like and are expected to bus your own table, which adds to the laid-back vibe. The highlight here is definitely the carving station at the end of the line, where you get a mouthwatering preview of what's about to hit your tray. The smoked brisket is the star -- unbelievably tender, savory, and just melts in your mouth. Skip the handhelds like the burger; you're better off ordering brisket by the pound, which also comes with classic BBQ condiments on the side. 5 stars!! Sides are sold individually and portioned for sharing (or big appetites), so it can get pricey. The corn casserole was the unexpected standout -- rich and flavorful. On the flip side, the mac n cheese was a letdown: bland and forgettable. I wouldn't recommend unless for small children. Overall, being from the south personally, it lives up to Austin BBQ standards and is worth a visit if you're in the mood for serious smoked meat and don't mind splurging a bit. read more

A wonderful bbq and beer spot in Fremont. If you haven't read the background story in Seattle Met, the owner grew up in Istanbul, moved to Austin and learned his bbq craft before emigrating to Seattle and we are lucky that he did. His bbq is perfectly crafted with brisket and ribs literally falling off the bones to delicious precision. The beef cheeks were a nice surprise that melted in the mouth. The pulled pork was a tad dry but reinvented with a squirt of their wonderful table sauces. Only complaint about the pork ribs was that the unctuous cartilage was weird and undigestible. All meat prices are listed by the pound but you can toggle down the quantity. Highly recommend a quarter pound of several choices to experience all the greatness. If you have salt intolerance, this is not the place for you. Of the sides, the Mac and cheese was way over salty. All meals come with thick slices of thick elevated Wonder white bread that can turn any clump of meat into a handy sandwich. And with the house made pickles, peppers and marinated red onions that comes on every plates, a self created Sammy makes a lot of sense. The two house made marinades on every table add to the experience - one a vinegar tasting mustard and another a classic deep bbq red sauce are exceptional. Beers on tap feature local Seattle superstars like Seapine as well as well classic Texas bottled brews like Shiner Bock. Excellent seating inside with a couple flat screens showing sports on the weekend and a flame-throwing fire pit outside to keep the open front porches warm. Speaking of warmth, can't say enough about the owner and what appears to be his family who run the place. They all come around and make sure your experience is exceptional and always ask if there's anything they can do to make it better, Parking is a challenge as street spots are sparse and the place has no lot of its own. Still a great experience that we will frequent again. read more

This place lives up to the name. I'm from the south and was doubtful about Seattle BBQ, but this might be better than home. You pay by the weight for whichever meat you want, could be a slice or half a pound. Their sides were all amazing, only thing they're missing is some baked beans with meat in it. They have two huge smokers outside and a fire pit was going while we were leaving. Very nice atmosphere and will be coming back. read more

Brisket ($39/lb) Close to perfection. Beautiful bark on the outside and deep smoky flavor throughout. Most of it was melt-in-your-mouth tender, though a few leaner edges were slightly on the dry side. The seasoning hit all the right notes - salty, peppery, and balanced enough. Easily some of the best brisket I've had in recent memory. Pulled Pork ($30/lb) Unfortunately, this was a total miss. Bland, dry, and lacking that rich porkiness or smoky depth you'd expect. None of us enjoyed it - felt like a batch that just missed the mark from the start, bleh. Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage ($9/each) A standout. It was savory, the snap on the casing was satisfying, and the cheese inside was hot and gooey - but yes, it was unapologetically greasy. You'll need napkins. Would I come back? 100% - for the brisket alone. It's not cheap, but you're paying for craft BBQ done right. read more

I want to preface that I went to Outsider BBQ on two consecutive weeks. The first time was on a Thursday evening with my partner, and we ordered online for takeaway. The second time my friend and I went on a Friday night and dine there. For the Thursday evening meal, we ordered a half pound of the brisket, a half pound of the beef cheeks, lemon poppy slaw and mac and cheese for takeaway. The beef cheeks were so tender and delicious. We were surprised at the lightness of the slaw and how the citrus of the lemon helped cut the richness of the meat. For me, the mac and cheese was bland. The highlight of the evening was the brisket! It was smoked perfectly, and each slice was tender and mouthwatering delicious with lots of flavor. On my second trip, I took my friend on a Friday night around 6:30 and the place was packed. The atmosphere was lively and people were having a good time! There was a long line on a Friday night to place our order, but everyone was friendly and patient. The staff were polite and they worked quickly to fulfill the orders! We ordered a half pound of the brisket, the lemon poppy slaw, the kale Caesar salad and a half pound of the pork ribs. We topped it off with two Hefeweizen beers! After we got our food, a party at the next table raved about the brisket and shared how good it was! The brisket was perfectly smoked, tender and mouthwatering delicious again! We got two pork ribs and they were tender and had just the right amount of barbecue sauce. It was very tasty! The lemon poppy slaw again was very refreshing. We thought The kale Caesar tasted pretty good, too. I've already told my friends and out-of-town friends about Outsider BBQ! This is the best barbecue place for brisket and ribs! I have to come back and try the rest of their menu items! read more

**The Absolute Best BBQ in Seattle! ** If you want world-class Central Texas barbecue with an incredible Mediterranean twist, Outsider BBQ is the real deal. The outdoor beer garden setup is fantastic--massive picnic tables, fire pits, great music, and an incredible craft beer selection on tap. Even better, **dogs are completely welcome**, making it the ultimate spot to hang out on a weekend afternoon. The food here is spectacular. The slow-smoked meats are incredibly juicy, and the sauces and sides are absolutely yum! They put a brilliant Mediterranean spin on the menu, featuring items like a tangy yogurt-dressed potato salad with a touch of sumac, and a pomegranate glaze on the pork belly that cuts through the richness perfectly. Everything is served up with excellent, fresh bread for making the ultimate custom bites. But the real showstopper? The **banana pudding dessert is completely out of this world**. It's thick, rich, and perfectly layered--easily the best sweet finish to a barbecue meal in the city. On top of the killer food, the owner, Onur, is incredibly attentive, welcoming, and passionate about his craft. He is constantly checking in, sharing his process, and ensuring everyone has an amazing experience. Outstanding food, great beer, dog-friendly vibes, and top-tier hospitality. 10/10 recommended! read more

We had lunch here the other day. Food is really good but expensive!! Fountain drinks about $5 which is pretty high. Luckily we were able to get the lunch special. We had the 1-meat and two sides which was $19 and an additional $3 for brisket. We each had a beer on tap at $9 then they wanted a tip for counter service which automatically suggested 20% but we gave $10 so out the door for two people it was $78 (they are set up for customers to bus their own tables!) So to recap the food us good associates nice but too expensive!! read more

We came here after seeing an IG post and arrived around Saturday noon to a packed house. It's more of a self-service setup, but the staff were all friendly and helpful. We ordered a mix of meats--pork ribs, a beef rib, original and jalapeño cheddar sausages, and beef cheek--and the total came out to around $160 before tax and tip. One surprise was the beef rib pricing: it's sold per bone rather than by weight, and that single rib cost about $70. The beef cheek was incredibly tender, almost buttery in texture, while the pork ribs were the standout--flavorful, tender, and absolutely worth it. The beef rib was good but quite fatty and not something we'd order again at that price. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was solid, while the original was just okay. Overall, it's a great spot for group gatherings, and we'd definitely come back--mainly for the pork ribs. read more

This was my first time ever eating Texas bbq and it was really good. The brisket was cooked well, super tender, flavorful, and juicy. It has a good amount of fat to meat ratio which I really appreciated. The pulled pork was a bit on the meh side but the ribs tho!!! Super well done as well!! It was literally fall off the bone soft. They also had great sides as well. Highly recommend the coleslaw. Love the lemon pepper flavor. But both the mac and cheese and the corn bread was kinda blend and I wish we didn't get them. Overall great experience but on the pricy side for sure. Be sure to come early as they get pretty busy during diner time. Love the outdoor seating area as well especially as the weather gets warmer. read more

Finally. A place with good enough brisket to please my husband. The sides and dessert were pretty good and the addition of pickles was genius but the white bread has us a little confused.

A spontaneous meander to Outsider BBQ after reading my e-newsletter earlier from The Stranger (2/15/25). Usually my stance is that there is no consistently good BBQ in Seattle. Well never say never, because my first visit during their soft opening was culinary amazement! I had never tried their food truck business with its loyal following. Now they have their brick and mortar at the former Frelard Pizza Company location. It's located at 40th & Leary along my favorite stretch of Frelard-Balmont. There's nearby 4 hour zoned street parking off of Leary. Exterior has huge seating for sunnier, warmer days. The interior dining area is also vast and even has a cute play area for the little ones. Yes, go ahead and bring your posse and sports teams. Approaching the entrance, the smoker is adjacent to the restaurant. I later verified that all production is done onsite. Expansive open view kitchen too. Welcoming, helpful counter staff who kindly answered my questions. Note to self, read the posted menu board, lol. A day of firsts also included trying their featured special, Beef Cheeks ($42/pound). For sides, I selected their Corn Casserole and Mac&Cheese ($6.50 each). My efficiently prepped tray also came with the two slices of white bread (yay Texas style!), pickles, pickled red onions, and jalepeños. I did enjoy the corn casserole side a bit more than the mac&cheese. I sampled the two house sauces, which are found at each table. Tasty, but I prefer my proteins without any condiments. The pickled items were on point and helped cut the richness of the smoked meats. I lamented that there weren't any Jalepeño Cheddar sausages, but I got to sample their Texas Chili one instead. Let's just say I had to exercise great restraint to not gobble all the tender, succulent, and flavorful proteins. The Homie will be happy with my large takeout box. Yes, the requisite bark and smoke ring were evident. I was able to take a peep at the behemoth of a smoker, with another one to join it onsite. The food truck is a fave in the greater Seattle, as well as, with catering gigs even out in Snoqualmie. Late to the party, but better late than never, right? I will have to return to try their brisket, jalepeño sausage, and another forthcoming special, beef ribs. And of course, there's also desserts, including my fave banana pudding. Clearly, Onur Gulbay, owner & pitmaster is very proud of his new location, staff, and menu offerings. Also, very welcoming and hospitable! *Returned for a second visit with The Homie at his request, despite hoovering the goods brought home earlier from lunch. This time parking was dense. Line out the door for dinner. Made the owner happy since I visited - not once, but twice today! It was also a great surprise to also run into long time Yelpers, Tracy and Yolanda! Sold out of beef cheeks, brisket, and beef ribs. Ribs, pulled pork, and sausages were still available at 6pm. We shared the pulled pork ($30/pound), Texas chili & jalepeño cheddar sausages ($9 each). The Homie enjoyed all the proteins - plain, with the sauces, with pickled red onions, and the bread slices. More pickles for me! No banana pudding available, so we tried Turkish rice pudding, sütlaç ($9). Outsider BBQ is a terrific find! Finally, I can say there is notable BBQ with Texan & Turkish flair in Seattle. read more

Wow! What an amazing restaurant! They really know how to do bbq. Hands down! Service was very friendly and efficient. The meat fell off the bone and the side salads were fresh and tasty. We decided to try going here around 4:00 pm thinking we would miss the lunch rush and avoid the early dinner goers. No such luck! This place is so popular that the line is continuous! So be ready to wait. At this time of day, we stood in the order line for about 15-20 min. Not bad compared to a ride line at Disneyland. But after ordering, we just have to step to the right and someone is there to prepare your tray and fill it with your order. My suggestion is to over-order because we realized we loved the pork belly soooo much, but didn't want to stand in the order line again because it seemed to grow even longer after we sat down! But that's the appeal too because who wants to eat in an empty restaurant, as the saying goes. My only advice is to be patient with the street parking. read more

Nice to have a new BBQ spot in Seattle! The meats were flavorful and sides were tasty, but I did feel like the food is a bit overpriced. This isn't necessarily the best BBQ I've ever had, but very solid for Seattle! We got a half pound of the pulled pork, half pound of pork ribs, sausage, corn casserole, and kale Caesar salad. Surprisingly, I felt like the sausage was the best meat! It was very flavorful and juicy. The pulled pork was great too, tender and flavorful. The pork ribs were seasoned well, but they could have been a little more tender. And I really liked the sides - the corn casserole had a good balance of sweet and savory, and the kale Caesar was a good complement to all the meat. I also really liked the sauces offered! Overall this is a solid spot for BBQ! I'd recommend getting the sausage and the corn casserole. I do feel like the food is a bit overpriced, but we'll come back the next time we're craving BBQ! read more

I am not a huge fan of bbq or pork but thoroughly enjoyed the cheddar Jalapeño sausage and the pork ribs. Potato salad was ok, Mac and cheese was a hard no for me, but my friends were raving about "bomb" the corn casserole so maybe that's the winning side dish. We came here the day before their grand opening and either their owner or manager came and chatted with us. Very nice people and you can tell they put in their heart and soul for this place. It's a bit too family friendly for my scene as kids were screaming everywhere, but the food is good, they have a nice fire pit in the front that would be fun in the summer. I will definitely be back. Overall, they were still working out the new restaurant pains, but it was a good time had by all with great food. read more

This is a review for the food truck. Was at Ravenna Brewing. The guy working the truck really wasn't in the mood to work at all. Went up to truck. He said he's having "tech problems". So I went up again 20 min later..... he was walking by... left a be right back note. He slowly walked to get a smoothie. Then slowly walked back. Showing no real interest in being there. I only saw a couple people even able to get food from the guy. Baffling. I was excited to try the place. Oh well!!! Goodbye. read more

Best BBQ in Seattle. Saw it on instagram and had to check it out major vibe! One you get inside there are three steps. Pick the drink, pick the sides, and pick the meat. We started off with the kale Cesar (amazing), Mac and cheese (obsessed), potato salad (would pass next time) and Mexican corn (it was a special). We then ordered the brisket and BEEF RiBs. This place is so good that the brisket and ribs sell out very quickly. It's not a set of ribs but they go buy the pound. We shared everything as it was more than enough and also had left overs. I had to eat this BBQ with a delicious shiner beer. One of my favorites! Must try bbq spot in Seattle! read more

Pretty good experience here! Tried once to order but the line was around the block and didn't move at all in 20 minutes. Second try was the charm during lunch. Meats were good, but sides were better. To be honest, it was very overpriced. Even the soda was expensive. From what I've heard, it's the best option for BBQ in Seattle. Outside seating in the summer is nice. read more

Delighted to find a great bbq place near our friends. We got two pounds of brisket, one pound of spare ribs and 5 jalapeño cheddar sausage links. I thought the brisket was tender and not too oily, perfectly seasoned. The sausage was pretty good too, not too salty or fatty. From the sides my favorite was the corn casserole. It has corn and a nice soft cornbread base. For the bbq sauce, I preferred the yellow one which I believe is a mustard bbq sauce. The other red one is more tangy. The sauce goes super well with all of the meats. Highly recommend! The only downside is that it is kind of expensive. All that meat plus some sides came to a total bill of 200. read more

Outsider BBQ & Beer Garden - Two pounds of brisket, five Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, one pound of spare ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

As a true blue Texan who was feeling a little homesick, I was excited to try out this new BBQ spot. Unfortunately, Outsider BBQ & Beer Garden was an absolute disappointment. I ordered a meal for pick up. The serving size at this price point is highway robbery. While the brisket I had was moist and had a wonderful texture, the seasoning on the bark had absolutely no dimension. The only flavor present was overwhelming black pepper. The sole pork rib I had was not tender and again appeared to only be seasoned with black pepper. I also had the mac n' cheese, which was creamy, but the only flavor note that came through was black pepper. The corn casserole had the correct texture (something I've never experienced while living in Washington state) but was nothing to write home about. The banana pudding was way too chunky with barely any Nilla Wafers used. Furthermore, the pickled onions, pickles, and jalapeños that accompanied my order were super bitter, almost as if they had only been soaked in vinegar, not a proper brine. The only high note of this meal was the Carolina-inspired mustard based BBQ sauce. To reference Texas BBQ influence in relation to what was served is absolutely blasphemous. There is no way that the technique used at this establishment was honed alongside a seasoned pitmaster. I would not recommend this restaurant to friends, family, or even my worst enemy. read more

They have a large indoor space and decent covered outdoor patio. I really enjoyed the smoked brisket burger, it's served with cheese so it's really more a cheeseburger. Nice and juicy. I also tried the spareribs and chicken and both were cooked well. I wasn't a fan of the sides: the potato salad and cole slaw. Both were over spiced with a lot of herbs and stuff, and it was the same mix for both. Service was also a bit unfriendly. Even though they're polite, they didn't seem overly friendly or enthusiastic to see you. read more

Fantastic tasting BBQ in the Ballard/Fremont area. Right when we walked in we were greeted by the employees at the counter and they could tell that we had trouble deciding how to order our food. They offered up a "chef's platter" for us to get smaller samples of each meat they had on their regular menu. The person slicing the meat was great and considerate of the meat being dished out for us. Since he knew we were sharing the plate, he gave us two pork spare ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and a whole jalapeño cheddar sausage. We also got a small mac and cheese as a side. All of the meat was great, soft and tender and so flavorful. My first bite was the mac and cheese and the black pepper flavor hit me immediately and I knew I was in for a great meal. And also the peppered bbq sauce on the tables was a great complement to the meats and the pickled veggies helped to break up the flow of meat. It was enough food for the two of us to eat and feel satisfied, but I can confidently say I'd eat the whole plate and still crave a lot more read more

A fabulous new addition to the neighborhood just in time for summer. We stopped around 6pm on a Saturday night. The line was about 20 people long and took about 20-30 min. You get your food right after you order as they weigh out the meat in front of you, so the line is slower but seating didn't get over crowded. We tried the beef cheeks and brisket, both of which were tender and succulent, by far the best I've had in Seattle. Side were tasty as well, great kale salad, flavorful street corn salad, and a cozy mac (which had a nice texture but could use a bit more flavor). Not a cheap night out, but you are getting great quality in return. Excited to come back here and show this place off to out of town guest! read more

The ribs are decent but maybe a little overpriced. I felt the meats were a little dry, and the sauces were good but nothing mind blowing.

Solid family-friendly bbq spot with a lively atmosphere. Casual vibe, so you order at the counter and seat yourself. We tired three of their meats - brisket, pork spareribs, original sausage - and the brisket was a clear standout. It was incredibly tender, juicy, and flavorful - would definitely come back just for this! The sausage was also very good, with a nicely grilled exterior for textural contrast. The pork spareribs were a bit of a letdown since they didn't have as strong of a smoky flavor and were chewier than expected (our batch probably could have used some more cooking time). The lemon poppy slaw was a nice contrast to the meats and not too creamy. Overall a good experience and possibly the best bbq in Seattle. read more

Outsider BBQ is one of the best BBQ spots in Seattle, if not, the best. Everything from the food to the friendly staff is exceptional. We had a great dining experience here, and I can now see why people love this place. Outsider BBQ is in Frelard, with a spacious patio seating area that's dog-friendly and an open kitchen concept with tons of seating inside. When we arrived, there was a long line on a Saturday night. Go figure. But then I realized that just like how it is in Texas, you wait in line to order your food and go down the line to see the staff cut the meats right in front of you. That's exactly how they do BBQ in Texas, which is where the owner lived. But what's special about Outsider BBQ is the Turkish twist. The owner is originally from Turkey, so the food here is inspired by that, as well as his time in Texas. You can't go wrong with that. My partner and I ordered a pound of brisket, half a pound of beef cheeks, the daily special and a pound of the pork ribs. They sold out of the beef ribs by the time we arrived! For sides, we had the potato salad, coleslaw, kale caesar and banana pudding. Yes, it was way too much food, but I'm not complaining. Everything was delicious! You don't even need BBQ sauce for any of the meats, just like how true Texan BBQ should be. The brisket and beef cheeks were incredibly juicy and tender. It melted in your mouth. The pork ribs were also very good, with a nice smoky flavor from the rub. And the sides were tasty, especially the lemon poppy seed coleslaw and the lemon dill potato salad, which is that Turkish twist you get with these. Those are sides you should order here because they're unlike any other BBQ place. Also, the banana pudding they offer for dessert uses Turkish cookies, not vanilla wafers. I think I only had one or two bites of the banana pudding and then my partner ate it all! It was that good. The owner was here when were dining, and he was checking in on all the customers and was clearing tables. He was super friendly as was the other staff you meet when you go down the line to order and get your food. I would happily come back here, especially with a group of friends. It's great for gatherings, especially on those sunny days when you wanna feel like you're in Texas instead of rainy Washington. Love it! read more

Best brisket we had outside of Texas. Great atmosphere quick service. Definitely recommend.

The vibe and atmosphere here is so nice, love the outdoor seating with fire pit! Service was very helpful, answering any questions I had with portions for sides and the meat. You order with the first cashier and they'll pass you down to the next cashier to pick up your food. They cut and weigh your meats in front of you so you can see everything. We ordered 1/4lb beef brisket, 1/2lb beef cheek (special on the weekend I believe), 1/2lb pork spare ribs and a jalapeño cheddar sausage. For sides we got their daily special street corn, turkish potato salad and lemon poppy slaw. The meat was phenomenal but if I had to choose, definitely go with the brisket and beef cheek. Insanely fatty and tender!! I'd pass on the cole slaw, as it lacked a flavor and not much lemon. At the tables there's 2 sauces, some sort of mustard and a bbq sauce. I do wish there was a little more bbq sauce variety, but it was still good. I will be returning for sure! read more

I'm going to keep it real. I was really looking forward to trying this place w my family and really wanted to like it, but my experience wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I decided to try the pit master tray amongst myself and two others. It was supposed to feed 4-5 but realistically only feeds 2-3. Also the price is bonkers. $99? I was curious to see if the flavor could back the crazy ask in price. The food was super underwhelming flavor wise and was so cold like it has been sitting out all day. This makes me lose faith in trusting local food reviewers and their recommendations on social media because this place is just hyped up. Worth a visit but will be the first and last time I visit this place. read more

I love the outdoor seating and vibes of this place! It's fun and loud which is great to accompany a group eating experience and beer. I shared half a pound of brisket and half a pound of pork spare ribs along with some sides. The brisket was delicious but as it cooled it became a little dry on the leaner parts. Absolutely loved the ribs though! For sides we got the street corn special, lemon poppy seed slaw, and mac and cheese! The street corn was delicious and definitely my favorite of the sides. The Mac and cheese had dried up a bit so it didn't have much of a cheese flavor or sauce to it. Additionally the lemon poppy seed slaw tasted like normal coleslaw. Not very lemony in my opinion. Overall I love the ambiance and the food was decent. Perhaps not the best BBQ I've had but it's a great option for the area combined with a beer garden! read more

This place is still fairly new and has amazing bbq. The owner learned to make his bbq based on Texas-style, which is my favorite. We ordered their brisket and cheddar sausage. Both of the meats were very good and tasted great with their homemade bbq sauces. For sides, we ordered their Mac & cheese and Turkish potato salad. The Mac & cheese was good and made with shells. The potato salad with the addition of dill made it fresh tasting. I'd highly recommend coming here. We were also able to sit outside with our dog. read more

It's pricey (not outrageously so) but really good. I've been to both the brick and mortar location and the food truck several times. The meats are prepared really well. They have a good selection of draft beer at the restaurant, both in terms of quantity and styles. Plentiful indoor and outdoor seating. There's live music some days as well; the stage is outdoors, not sure if they move indoors for winter. The only thing that I would change is to have a couple more options for side dishes. read more
