I had heard good things about this place from colleagues and have been wanting to try this place. They were at the PI building today, so we decided to try them for lunch. I got the pulled pork sandwich with the spicy sauce and a side of fries. The pulled pork was delicious, melt in your mouth meat with just the right amount of bark. The fries were crisp, just a little salty for my taste. Already looking forward to getting lunch from them again, might have to try some of the other options with the hot sauce, a colleague who got the brisket liked it a lot. read more

Tried them at the Seattle Center's 50th anniversary of the Worlds' Fair kick off party and was not disappointed! My husband and I shared the pulled pork sandwich with fries and that was enough food for both of us for lunch. The BBQ was smokey and flavorful and came with grilled onions and slaw mixed in (we went without the cheese). You could tell that this BBQ had been smoked for a long time to get that juicy yumminess we were now tasting. I will be looking forward to the next time I find this food truck! read more

Raney Brothers BBQ - The Menu - Barbeque Near Me

I'm a bit of BBQ snob coming from Texas and my initial thoughts it to walk on by and figure the BBQ is going to be really bad. But, today my inclination was to try it and I ordered the pulled pork with the coleslaw and told them to hold the grill onions and cheese; as in Texas normally it's just pickles and maybe slaw. Also, saw the potato salad on the menu and got it and figured to skip the fries. Boy, was it good! As you've read it comes on a semi hard square roll and a generous portion of pulled pork, not chopped, yes the pulled it apart and every bite was really good with some burnt ends in the pork that added that nice crispy flavor. I definitely will be coming back to Raney Brothers again. So, so hesitate to try them as this is one of the best BBQ you can get. read more

Recently ate here again, and I loved the food, as well as how friendly the staff was. They have a great variety of BBQ, and it's fun to sit on the patio, when it's nice. read more

I got their pulled pork sandwich at the Olympic sculpture Park out of the back of a food truck, this food is slap you in the face delicious!!!! This is not some wussy hipster place that sells you long on food and ends up short in flavor. This is hot damn spicy and loving every mouthful that I can shove into my pie hole and go back for thirds. read more

Damn good! Had the brisket sandwich. When asked if I wanted sweet or spicy bbq sauce, I asked the dude taking my order what he would get. He said he likes a mix of both so I went with the professional. Sounded like a good idea. Glad I did because it was very tasty. Perfect mix of sweet and spicy. And while I assume their fries were frozen, it didn't matter because the seasoning on them were finger licking good. I don't think I've ever said those words before but they are so fitting in this case. I will definitely go here again and try the rest of their menu. read more

Raney Brothers BBQ - Thick slices of brisket and perfectly seasoned fries. Yum. - Barbeque Near Me

They're parked at 1st & Cherry! Pioneer Square doesn't get much love when it comes to food trucks so I'm glad they pay attention to the people who work in the area. Take that SODO and Lake Union! 'T was a Tuesday and I had already eaten lunch. I went on a walk on 1st Ave and noticed a food truck parked. BBQ! I was still full from lunch though. Fortunately, the gal at the food truck window said they'd be back on Friday. True enough they were there on Friday and so was I. It's a good thing Safeco Plaza has indoor public tables because it was cold and I wasn't up for eating outdoors at Marion Court. The potato salad tasted like it was from Safeway or Fred Meyer's deli counter. It wasn't bad. It just tasted generic. As for the pulled chicken sandwich? That was something else! That sandwich was HUGE. It had a smokey sweet taste to it, as my co-worker described it. I only ate half of it. I'm glad it wasn't sloppy because I only had a couple napkins. If you've ever eaten at Mad Oven and Hole in the Wall and you want something different, then try this place out. Also, come here if you love meat because you'll get a lot of it. read more

Raney Brothers BBQ - Barbeque Near Me

Okay, I felt the need to give these guys all five stars... They're AMAZING! From the food to the service, these guys are just top notch. I first ordered from these guys while I was with a friend at Marymoor Park watching 16 Candles. She recalled having their sandwiches awhile back and described them as "one of the best pulled pork sandwiches" she's ever had. Of course, that was my sign to go. We both ordered the pulled pork sandwiches, he have us the option of sweet or spicy and explained the spicy was about 3 stars out of five. We got spicy and oh my goodness... The sandwich is a must try. It's soooo good and you get so much for only about $10. I've went back to them while they were in South Lake Union and I'll continue to go back whenever the craving for pulled pork comes about. read more

Raney Brothers BBQ - Two pulled pork sandwiches - Barbeque Near Me

Meal: Lunch, eat in / take out All Ratings out of 10: Quality of food: 6 Food to Spend Value: 6 Quality of Service: 7 Overall Rating: 6 Food trucks are all the rage these days, and Seattle has its fair share. SLU in particular has a large population of them to serve the lunch crowd. I feel like food trucks tend to get overhyped, but I still enjoy trying them to experience different flavors that you wouldn't get due to lack of a store front. On Mondays Raney Brothers BBQ shows up at Harrison and Westlake in SLU. They self-describe as Pacific Northwest BBQ and definitely have a somewhat unique take on BBQ. On my most recent visit, I got The Dude, which features a slab of their Cajun meatloaf topped with pulled pork, grilled onions, cheese, and red cabbage slaw, served on an artisan roll. They offer mild, hot, and spicy sauce options, and I went for the hot version. The sandwich has a good flavor but overall is pretty underwhelming. I am a bit of a BBQ connoisseur, and nothing about their BBQ grabs me. The Cajun meatloaf is decent but not amazing, and the same goes for the pulled pork. The overall sandwich, particularly with the toppings they provide, does have a good flavor, but again it is fairly pedestrian. For a $10 sandwich, the size of it is also quite small. I have had their mac salad as a side before (though I didn't get it on this most recent trip), and it again has a good flavor but isn't exceptional. The portion for the side is also tiny, so it feels more like getting a sample. I have had the brisket sandwich in the past (and they have a "Beefy Dude" version that replaces the pulled pork with brisket), and I do NOT recommend it. The brisket is not very good and lacks the moist smoky flavor that an amazing brisket should have. Like most food trucks they tend to be busy around lunch time. Orders get taken quickly, and the time it takes to get the food I have found can vary greatly, though it usually is greater than 5 minutes. The portions are small and the food itself is average. So why do I go you ask? It is different from most other offerings in SLU, and when I have a BBQ craving it does help to satiate it some. It also helps that they have a punch card system, and I am getting closer to my free sandwich. In general, though, I go very infrequently. Raney Brothers isn't bad, but it isn't great either. read more

Raney Brothers BBQ - The Dude...Cajun meatloaf and pulled pork. Wish it was bigger! - Barbeque Near Me

Pretty good sandwiches here, I can get down had the brisket and was not disappointed read more

Solid sandwiches that satisfy without being overly filling. Sausage grinder and Meatloaf Dude sandwich with Brisket and spicy BBQ sauce very delicious. Fries and mac salad both recommended sides. read more

Service couldnt be better here....Owners are behind the counter and you can tell they put their heart and soul into this place. Location and service are enough since i work in SODO where there is almost no place to stop for great food that offers parking. Found it myself thru YELP search today after waiting thru 2 traffic lights only to realize that merging onto 5 N was an impossibility. I loved the strong drinks and the chopped salad I ordered. I will try more BBQ items soon. read more

Not all BBQ places are created the same. Raney Brothers BBQ is a new breed of food trucks that is gaining in popularity. No longer does 'Food Trucks' mean a guy that opens up the side of his truck and offer up pre-cooked hot dogs and burritos already wrapped. These guys actually cook your food to order. I've tried several things at Raney Brothers. First up was 'The Dude' a decent size piece of meatloaf with pulled pork and a red cabbage slaw. Nicely complimented with one of their several sides (Potato Salad was good, as was the fries, very peppery). The next sandwich I tried was the pulled pork. They took the pull pork and grilled it so it had a nice seared crust/crisp to it. Tasty! As usual with these new food trucks you are paying for the convenience. Sandwiches cost 8.00$, sides cost a dollar (Fries 1.50$). Tax is already pre-included. Your meal comes out a little expensive for the portion size but that is to be expected. All in All a decent option for those that have no other options near by. read more

BBQ Brisket sammy - Holy what the WHAT?!?! Just tried their food truck which is parked on Elliott every Thursday. 1st - any option other than what is in usual walking distance here is HUGELY welcomed (hear that other food truck purveyors ?!?!?!) Generally I'm not a fan of most of the toppings restaurants place on sandwiches - they often drown out the star - but on this instance I decided to buck tradition and get it as described. So glad I did. Others are right... soft ciabatta, perfect portion size, and the beef brisket? Smokey, delicious goodness! The cheese, grilled onions, spicy bbq sauce and wasabi coleslaw all sound like indigestion waiting to happen but oh my, what a perfect marriage of flavors! I have to dock them a star for two bits of greasy fat :-( but even with that I'll be back. Often! BTW... hear their fries are great so will try those next week for sure. read more

Raney Brothers BBQ - Excited to try their new food truck... Review to follow! - Barbeque Near Me

Wow! I was on my way to get something else for lunch when I passed the truck on Union Ave. I am so happy I went on a whim and decided to pick something up from here. I got the smoked beef brisket sandwich...holy meat! There were 4-5 huge slabs of brisket on my bun! I got the sweet sauce and it was just right, they knew exactly how much sauce to add. The cabbage slaw was a perfect compliment to the sweet bbq sauce and meat. read more

There was no cheese on my chicken salad melt.... nothing but chicken. The server said i could have a new sandwich then came back out w my original sandwich snd said "my manager said you have to pay for a new one". Poor business practices, and crappy customer service, when you dont honor what your employee already told a customer. Very disappointed i wasted my whole lunch walking back and forth dealing with this debacle just to be treated like garbage by higher ups. read more

Oh mama. Can I get a whoop whoop? Now that trucks are allowed in Seattle downtown I've had a chance to sample the local flavors, and every Wednesday I make sure that I'm down at 5th & Union for Raney Bros. Firstly, the food is awesome. Just great, interesting flavors (wasabi coleslaw, Cajun meatloaf) reasonable prices (particularly by foodtruck standards), and the best part--the guy taking the orders is just super friendly. I mean, sure, food service folks should be nice, but he's just rad--you feel like you'd want to give him a hi-five after eating your lunch. Great experience, great food, only complaint is the sometimes-long line, but that's because it's worth it. read more

I'm a BBQ freak and expected disappointment when I stumbled upon this unassuming food truck, because as you must have heard by now, "there's no good barbecue in Seattle." I can admit when I'm wrong, and when the masses are misinformed: there is decent barbecue in Seattle and it's right here at Raney Brothers BBQ. The brisket sandwich with sweet bbq sauce was yumtastic and left me wanting more. The fries are interesting - I swear they're flavored with nori - but interesting in a good way. I think. After reading the other reviews, it seems I'll have to come back and try the pulled pork. See you soon Raney Brothers! read more

3.5 stars. Pulled pork might be the top-seller, but the pulled chicken is equally scrumptious - contains juicy caramelized onions, red cabbage slaw served on top of Macrina potato roll. Could kick up the punch on the bbq sauce a bit, but otherwise a very satisfying construction. read more

My friend and I found Raney Brothers parked near the corner of Fairview and Republican in Seattle. As I do with every BBQ joint, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich ($8): "Pulled pork which has been dry-rubbed with Uncle Pauly's secret blend of spices for 24 hours before being slow smoked to perfection over fruit wood for 12+ hours, then mixed with BBQ sauce. Served on a potato roll with grilled onions, cheese, and Red Cabbage Slaw." I loved the pulled pork here. Very juicy and tasty. The red cabbage slaw livened the experience with crunch, color, and extra flavor. What really set this sandwich apart from the others, in my opinion, was the caramelized onions. The silkiness in those onions showcases the talent these guys have. I also loved the melted cheese here, which I don't see in just every pulled pork sandwich. A well-executed toasted potato roll here, with the crunchy outside and the chewy inside. I dressed this sandwich with Raney Brothers' spicy BBQ sauce (patrons have a choice of regular or spicy). The spicy BBQ sauce was not spicy to me, but still very delicious. My friend and I agreed that it was one of the better pulled pork sandwiches we've had, let alone it coming from a food truck. I thought it was a respectable portion for $8, and I'll consider trying some of their side dishes next time. read more

Not bad, but not great. Having spent a long time in Central Texas, I suppose my view is a bit skewed, so please take it with a pinch of salt. Had the pulled pork sandwich (~8.50 after tax) and was a bit disappointed. Very light on smoke character, and the texture of the meat was a bit on the stringy side. I feel like the addition of cheese really detracted from the pork, and the bun would have been much better if it were toasted or warmed a bit. As it stands, it was a bit too firm and bready. If you're in a pinch and want some barbecue, there are far worse options out there, but this food truck isn't going to meet the bar for those of you looking for the good stuff. (I have yet to find it in Seattle, and I've been everywhere...) read more

Pretty gud sammiches I approve. I had the dude and it was filling and tasty no homo phrasing. read more

Enjoyed Raney Brothers BBQ recently at the Magnuson Park Outdoor Movies event. The quality of the pulled chicken sandwich was fantastic. The service was friendly; however, the food truck line moved very slow. The fries are wonderful; however, were served cold. Prices were on par for the event, but better values can easily be found elsewhere. All in all, this was a good food truck adventure; however, based on the slow service for a very limited menu and cold fries, I would not return unless other options nearby really did not seem appealing. read more

Personally, I come for the BBQ but I stay for Tom's smile.

As a reformed vegetarian I'm kind of picky about the meat that I eat but Raney Brothers nails it! The brisket is out of this world and I keep meaning to branch out to other things but I'm stuck, I'm hooked, I'm all-in on the brisket! Great homemade sauces, slaw, and macaroni salad too. Did you know these guys do full pig roasts?! Get on that! read more

Great place to grab quick and amazing food in the SODO/Georgetown Neighborhood at their Brick and Mortar off Airport Way S. Check it out when you are in the area. read more

Really enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich. The meat was flavorful and tender. Plus they don't cook or soak the meat in the sauce; they put it on top so the flavor of the BBQ isn't smothered away. It seemed to take time for the orders to come up so if you are in a hurry this may not be the ideal choice for lunch. But, if you got the time it's worth the wait! read more

Wow wow wow! Got their chicken salad sandwich and it's unlike any "chicken salad" I've ever had. Real chunks of delicious chicken + all kinds of other great things going on in this warm sensation. Got a side of fries and wow was that a great idea also. Was depressed at work because its only Thursday but Raney Brothers bbq food truck just made my day. Plus, they're friendly.. Will be coming back again,thanks!! read more

Let me define my expectations of a great BBQ, it should have a tinge of smoky taste, a tender chew, succulent texture, tasty savory feel. Sadly, my ribs only accomplished a few of these. They separated the ribs with the bbq sauce, good idea so people can have how much they want on their ribs without saying there's too much or there's too little, since you're the one squeezing from the bottle! The bbq sauce was not homemade, I'm sure of that. It's like something you can get in the generic bottles at the store! At least put some effort into your cooking. YOU SHOULD MARINATE THE MEAT BEFORE COOKING IT, did you know that? Just tasted plain old beef, without any burst of essential tongue dancing. The meat was tender, but I didn't get a smoky taste, must be cooked on original charcoal on the grill- not on a wide pan.. That was disappointing. Don't expect too much, it's new to the food truck business, and the food is not so unique (BBQ). If the choice is something you can get anywhere, please try to make it one of a kind decided by the tasty smoky tender meat tearing from the bone. Another thing is, for one small rib, they charged $3. GIve it back. That is an example of overcharging at best. read more

The meatloaf on The Dude is amazing. This might be the best food truck bbq I've had. Yep, yep I think it is. The window guy was very nice too, read more

I know nothing of BBQ styles but I know a tasty sandwich and this is one. I've tried the pulled pork, the pulled chicken, the beef brisket, the dude, and the beefy dude, and they're all delicious. Loads of savory meat with the spicy sauce (you can order sweet, spicy, or hot; I get spicy) and just a dollop of kale slaw fills the bun. The black pepper fries are also well done. read more

HOLY SMOKES! (Little BBQ joke there) These guys have some of the cities best BBQ creations around! I've had pretty much everything these guys make and it is ALL insanely delicious! I recommend the classic pulled pork, but try anything and I guarantee you'll love it! read more

SO GOOD. Tried them at Marymoor Park during the Iration & Rebelution concert. I ordered the BBQ pulled chicken sandwich with all the works! So delicious. It's pretty big too considering it was $10! Definitely worth it. I also ordered a side of fries. I am quite the fry snob, and love my french fries piping hot- only downside that these were warm. All in all, can't wait to eat here again! The man running the register was very nice too and the service was fast! read more

I am picky as all heck with pulled pork after having been disappointed with most places. However, Raney Brothers BBQ has redeemed pulled pork in my eyes. It comes with cheese, slaw and onions, but oh my goodness, it all melts in your mouth. The spicy barbecue sauce isn't that spicy, so most people will be able to have it. Overall, an amazing food truck with amazing pulled pork. read more

I was getting worried Seattle didn't have any good bbq. Worries, be gone. I went with the classic, pulled pork sandwich and fries. Pleasant surprise on the fries too..they were just the right amount of crispy and seasoning. I'm always happy when I get fries delicious enough that I don't need ketchup. But on to the main course..the pulled porkie. Really good portion of pulled pork, they don't skimp you on the meat. I wouldn't call it Memphis style or even Texan, but whatever it is is tasty. It's sweet and its spicy, and cooly balanced with the coleslaw on top. Wouldn't call it memphis style bbq.. but its tasty. read more

I tried this after a friend recommended them to me at the Bellevue location on 106th. First impression, they have a really great pulled pork sandwich. Most places take the pork and just slap it on some white bread. I get that technique; you don't want to hide that pork flavors. Raney Bro's steps it up a notch though, and adds some things to make that pork even better. They put it on a nice ciabatta roll with some red onions, a little red cabbage slaw, and some cheese. Nothing crazy, but it brings out the flavors. Really tasty. I hope they come back to Bellevue again! read more

10/10 highly recommend! Great service and delicious food. I will defiantly be going back!

The pulled pork sandwich achieves a great balance between the tender meat and the tangy coleslaw. I haven't had any of their other selections, but I did enjoy this item, and the service was quick. read more

I tried this truck today by Microsoft building 92. Any alternative to the MS cafeterias is always welcome. The pulled pork sandwich with fries was delicious. The bun was rectangular and both larger and higher quality than a typical BBQ bun. The pork was tender with a decent smoke flavor. I didn't hit any of the big chunks of jiggly fat or gristle which are often an unpleasant surprise in pulled pork. The promised "spicy" sauce tasted good but wasn't at all spicy (norm for Seattle.) Topping it off was some slaw, which I really like on a BBQ sandwich. Overall it had a great flavor and was a pretty big sandwich. The ratio of ingredients was perfect and the bun was filled just enough. The fries were fresh and crispy with a lot of salt and black pepper. I love pepper on fries. I paid $9.50 which I feel is fair for the quality level and in line with other "gourmet" food trucks. read more
