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.

Thick slices of brisket and perfectly seasoned fries. Yum.

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.

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.

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.

The Dude...Cajun meatloaf and pulled pork. Wish it was bigger!

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.

'The Dude' - Meatloaf, pulled pork and red slaw.

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.

Excited to try their new food truck... Review to follow!

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.

Get there ASAP!…read more Every sip of my mango margarita with tajin and chamoy (fresh and made on-site) was a flavor explosion...literally the best margarita of my life...no joke and I am 51 years old which means I have had many a margarita! The food was right there with the flavors. Every bite was amazing and hot! My friend and I couldn't stop with our amazement. To top it off, we had the best service from Erika and her staff. She and her husband own the restaurant and started the restaurant from a food cart and then opened on Alki. Another is opening on Capitol Hill soon too. They are killing it with their food. Everyone was in great spirits and we just had the best experience eating, having a beverage, and watching a World Cup game.

The nachos and salsas are also just ok. The goat birria is good, not gamey or tough, but not spectacular. Idk... it's just that something is missing but I can't quite put my finger on it. As far as service goes- The hostess and some of the bartenders are nice but most of the other FOH staff seem to almost be annoyed to have to serve people lol. Definitely my biggest deterrent (and I am a very low-maintenance dining guest) which is unfortunate bc the location is super convenient for me. Another note: I've been here a few times and spend quite a bit of $$ each time yet when I asked to have tiny bite-sized samples of their salsas to see which one I wanted to order a full serving of the manager said no. LOL... so I had to order full sizes of each one. All were very average to meh. So I had a salsa dinner that night, which is low carb right??, so that means I'm basically Kate Moss now

You place your order at the counter and pick it up at the counter or in the back with the seating is. The seating in the back is tables and benches with umbrella with a first come first serve approach. Your order will be called for pickup in the back if you are dining at the place. The employees are polite and quick, and helpful when ordering. The fried kimchi was a delight. Now, I'm use to kimchi being more on the spicy side with heat from peppers used to make it, but this was mild to a little heat. The miso ginger chicken was a great add on and made the rice that much more enjoyable. I love the egg on top as well. The guava ginger drink is good enough to drink everyday. I love the bold peppery taste of ginger followed by the calm sweet guava. Parking is a challenge as this place is at the end of the water taxi that is always busy. The area always has scuba divers, cyclists and runners.
