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.
Otto R.

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.

There was a long line when we got there and there were four people behind the counter. I don't think I saw all four of them ever working at the same time making sandwiches or taking orders. Just dreadful service -- I waited over 30 minutes for four sandwiches. The sandwiches however, were very good.

As a lifelong banh mi eater, I don't say this lightly... this might just be the best banh mi in ALL…read moreof Seattle. I've heard a lot about this newer Vietnamese sandwich shop but just had the chance to try it this past weekend, but I am impressed. I ordered the typical "dac biet" cold cut banh mi alongside a Vietnamese iced coffee. Now when I tell you about that first bite, it already sealed the deal. The baguette had an easy but still crispy bite that is satisfying and DOESN'T cut your mouth like other breads do. Once I reached the fillings of the banh mi, I was surprised by how packed the inside was. I was able to get everything in one bite, it was like every ingredient was dancing together to create an incredible performance. But what really shocked me was how much pate I got in this sandwich, it was like they knew I was coming - thank you!! The Vietnamese iced coffee also paired very nicely, very standard quality and not too overpowering where it typically hits you. The pricing of the banh mi is more spendy than your legacy-owned Vietnamese deli that you'd find in Little Saigon or South Seattle, but for West Seattle I get it. The guy who greeted me (presumably the owner) was friendly too, everything altogether leads me to coming back again real soon to try their other sandwiches.

This was one of many banh mi sandwich places that Infatuation on IG has listed as one of the best…read morein Seattle through extensive taste testing by staff, so I threw this on my list about a century ago and then came here on a Saturday noon around 1pm. The place is tight and compact, with the interior literally being just their kitchen and a small area for standing and/or using any of two kiosks to place your order. Parking around the area is also relatively tight as it is in West Seattle, as is the seating situation; there's only two two-tops and a bench bordering the left-hand window of this place, and you'll get sun-kissed really hard on the bench during a summer afternoon since it's all outdoor seating. There was a constant stream of patrons placing orders for the whole duration of my stay here, even as I was just waiting for my order to be made. Staff are very attentive to everyone and call your name once your order's ready. Mines took about 10 or so minutes to come since many others were also waiting on theirs. For this visit, I got the following: - Grilled pork banh mi: this banh mi is loaded!!! I had a hard time grasping it between my hands, and the condiments were falling off as I took each bite. The baguette isn't crispy but that was all right with me. There is a near-perfect ratio of homemade mayo and French pate for the volume of the banh mi, and there wasn't too much of any one component. The grilled pork was just all right, though; it had rich flavor and an even texture to go along with the rest of the banh mi but was dry on its own. The secret sauce wasn't my favorite either as its slightly sweet taste didn't fit with the rest of the banh mi in my opinion. - Special lychee iced tea: this really hit the spot for the hot day this writing is based off of! It starts off really sweet but when you let the ice melt then it's very refreshing. The cup is pretty big too! I'm still in search of Seattle's best banh mi even after this visit, but I still enjoyed what I got and would give their other banh mi and perhaps their Vietnamese coffee a try! This place does provide combo options when you get their banh mi, but that was not the case for my particular order.

I'm updated my review to reflect a recent takeout dining experience…read more A couple weeks ago, we ordered 2 salads, and 2 sandwiches. We ordered pickup. Upon arrival to our house, the order was incorrect, whoopsie! We called back and the waiter who answered mentioned that we had accidentally taken a staff meal home. None of our to-go boxes were labeled. How could anyone know? This is a rookie mistake. It's been a while since this Goblin worked in food, but that's a non-negotiable. Especially given a place that prides itself on catering to restricted diets and lifestyles. This is exactly how you let a pumpkin seed slide into a seed allergy order. Instead of letting us keep the meal, she asked us to bring it back to the restaurant. We were happy to do so. Everyone deserves to eat. Should we have kept it for ourselves? We bring the food back, and the waiter explains that there was a mixup, and apologized. They handed us another to-go box (which wasn't labeled) and tried to end the conversation. "Have a good night!" We had to then explain to this waiter that our wives demanded something in return for the error, which was true. The waiter/bartender had a puzzled look on their face. Customer? Demanding I make something right? In my workplace?! A direct statement void of passivity about the quality of my service? With conditions? The audacity! We live in a world where we, the customer, bring back your incorrect order for you, waste our time, and we just get a, "thanks, have a good night!" This goblin had to claw his way up the ranks pillaging for gold which doesn't come easy. Everyone knows food cost in Seattle went up ~%46 since 2019. Wages haven't. We told the waiter our wives wanted a slice of cake. The waiter was shook by our audacity, and moved towards the fridge behind the bar to consult with two chefs who were shutting it down. We were arriving near/at close on a Monday. The other two chefs body language exuded "just give them the rest of the cake". There was a couple moments of pause and hushed conversation. The waiter pulled out a large serving plate with only a small chunk of Chocolate Mousse Cake left. Instead of putting that into a box, apologizing, and fixing the problem. They conferred about the legitimacy of our claim with the chefs. Hesitantly, they cut the cake into a small slice, put it in a box (which wasn't labeled) and handed it to us. What's hilarious is that they would leave such a small piece going into the next day of prep. Why not just 86 it right there? Why was it so hard for this person to acknowledge they made a mistake, and do something kind for us in return? The chefs clearly understood these fundamental building blocks of customer service, had they not been there in the front of house, I'm sure the waiter would've made an excuse to not remedy the situation. From all of my years in food service, if something is wrong, you make it right, end of story. By owning the error, you keep your integrity. Even a small gesture like 10% off one item, between the hours of 7:35pm- 7:45pm every third Monday, however inconsequential and trivial, makes people feel like you've made things right. These basics need to be addressed with FOH staff. With food cost nearing the price of rent each month in Seattle, customers should feel empowered to speak their mind respectfully. My only reason for going into excruciating detail is the hope that this can be a teaching moment, and more people can eradicate passivity. Passivity is a threat to community, culture, service, and so many other integral parts of our society. It's OK to disagree in public. It's OK to check someone. It's OK to tell your server "No, honestly, it wasn't that good, here's why..". When we deny the truth about our experiences for fear of disrupting the status quo, we withhold an essential part of building stronger, more diverse and resilient communities. "Goblin D, don't you think this is a bit too deep for a food review?" No, and if you've made it this far, the two stars are for the two chefs who made sure we got our cake.

First, the gin and tonics are outstanding. There's something about that Harry's G&T -- the gin, tonic, cardamom bitters and all the little garnishes -- that makes it dangerously easy to order another one. It's refreshing, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of the best G&Ts we've had. And then there was the geoduck chowder. Absolutely delicious. Rich, creamy and packed with flavor, with the geoduck and clams adding that wonderful Pacific Northwest seafood character. It was the kind of dish where you find yourself slowing down because you don't want it to end. But what really made the experience special was Patrick. Great food and drinks are one thing, but genuinely warm service can completely change a meal. Patrick made us feel like we were sitting down with family -- welcoming, attentive, personable and just naturally fun to be around. There was no sense of being rushed or just another table. He made us feel at home. That's what we'll remember most about today: great food, fantastic drinks, and hospitality that felt genuinely personal. Harry's Beach House has that perfect West Seattle/Alki combination of a beautiful setting, great seafood and a relaxed atmosphere. But for us, Patrick's hospitality was the finishing touch that turned a really good lunch into a memorable one.
