    Thick slices of brisket and perfectly seasoned fries. Yum.
    Branden B.

    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.

    We visited this branch of Bakery Nouveau, hoping to snag some paczki since we forgot to preorder…read morefor Fat Tuesday (or as Michiganders know it, Paczki Day). Per the cashier, unlike previous years, where they often sold Paczki for several weeks leading up to the celebration, this year, they will only have them on Tuesday. Apparently every single one is handmade by the owner, Pâtissier William Leaman, and this year, he's been too busy with the 2026 Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie competition as the US team's coach. That's certainly a great excuse! When we arrived on a Sunday afternoon a bit after lunch, this place was still quite busy with a line that stretched to the door, but not outside. As with the Burien location, I find the ordering process to be a bit of a pain; while there are plenty of workers to help, ordering is slowed due to the fact that the display cases are placed in a line and there's not much room in the building to maneuver to the desired display. In our case, while we had someone helping us all the way in the back of the line, we weren't able to select anything until we got all the way to the pastry case in the front. I'm not sure there's a good way to solve this conundrum, though. At any rate, we ended up only getting a single pastry (that was new to us) to try this time. Brown Sugar Pecan Brioche ($5) - This pastry looks like a glistening pecan sticky bun at first glance, with a cinnamon roll-like pinwheel structure and a brown sugar glazed pecan topping. Since it's brioche, I expected it to be dense, but soft, rich, and sweet. This bread is anything but. It's dense, dry, crumbly, almost clay-like in mouthfeel; basically everything brioche should not be. Instead of a sticky caramelized coating over the pecans, the pecans are glued on with only the thinnest of sugar coatings. The pastry doesn't claim to be a sticky bun, so it gets a pass there. Unfortunately the base layer is absolutely terrible, by far the worst "brioche" I've eaten in years. It has all the flavor of hard tack with the unpleasant mouthfeel of Play-Doh. Canned Pillsbury cinnamon rolls are far better than this waste of perfectly good ingredients. The owner should be ashamed to release this swill to the public. (1/5) Why am I giving Bakery Nouveau a 5? Because they serve some of the best twice baked croissants known to man. The Capitol Hill location is my go to for a sweet and buttery treat and I still recommend it to everyone that visits me, specifically for the almond and chocolate twice baked croissants. The paczki are no slouches either; probably the best we can get around Seattle. Bathrooms - Single unisex room. Note: There will be some walk in availability for paczki on Tuesday, but the cashier told me that they will likely sell out by 10AM. Looks like an early morning trip to the Capitol Hill location is in my near future.

The pasta was amazingly tender, cooked to perfection. There was a lot of flavor and depth in each bite, more of a deliciously earthy mac and cheese as opposed to maybe a velveety smooth creamy type. The Jalapeño poppers were amazing. I've always associated poppers with a crusted fried topping but these were bold, going in a different direction. The jalapeños were fresh and soft to the bite, easy to cut with the side of a fork, loaded with components such as cashew cheddar, crema, avocado sauce, sweet pickled jalapeños, pico and cabbage slaw - all coming together perfectly in each bite (i'm utilizing their menu description) For the main dish, Sandi ordered the "Smokey Barbecue" which came with a complimentary side of chips and I ordered the Portobello French Dip and upgraded my side to a Side Salad for an extra $4. Each dish, every bite was delicious, even something as simple as a side salad was elevated with their Ginger Tahini dresing. Dipping the Portobello Sandwich into the Dip was just .. magical. We also both opted for the same drink, South Park Mule.

Our waiter brought us some water and we both decided to order the quiche (daily special was spinach, mushroom and goat cheese) along with a cup of clam chowder. Being that the restaurant was kind of empty, it took a while for our food to arrive. Unfortunately, the chowder was tepid at best and quiche was ice cold. I flagged the waiter down and as he took away our plates, he made a comment about the oven not being set correctly, which I thought was a bit odd. To me, it seemed as if our food may have been waiting a while to get picked up. Nevertheless, our food returned shortly thereafter piping hot. The chowder was delicious, definitely one of the tastiest I've had in Seattle. I found the quiche to be lacking in flavor and then noticed that there were no salt or pepper shakers on any of the tables, which I also thought was a bit odd. After we had finished eating, the waiter asked my friend if she wanted a box for her quiche. When he returned with the box, he did not clear our dishes or ask if we were ready for our check. I had to flag him down to ask for it. I noticed they added a $3 service fee to the bill, not quite sure what that was about, as the food was already a bit pricier than other restaurants in the area and there were issues with our food. I guess it's for the beach view? Overall, this was a decent meal, but I just don't get what all the hype is about.
