Finally. Good BBQ in WA State!…read more I knew I was on the right track because the owner was wearing a Franklin Barbecue shirt when I walked up. Franklin Barbecue is a legend that is "serving the best barbecue in the known universe," according to Texas Monthly. And the young owner/chef of the relatively new Smokestack Lightning BBQ is a Franklin disciple. But he's more than that. He has cooking experience in some of the best Seattle area restaurants, and he knows how to cook. His love for BBQ and all food is evident in both the name of the place (see book and TV show) and the excellent food. Smokestack Lightning is all about BBQ without shortcuts and high quality ingredients. The smoker is an excellent Lone Star Grillz trailer pit made in Willis, TX. The crew drove to Willis to pick it up and drive it back to Seattle. The brisket is high quality Painted Hills Natural Beef from Oregon. Other ingredients are also locally sourced, with a similar eye to quality that plays a big role in final taste. And that brisket? Juicy, succulent, and mildly smoky melt-in-your-mouth goodness--just as brisket should be. This is a BBQ trailer that moves around, and there are always little twists on the menu for the day. On the day I went, the brisket was dressed up with some amazing cider-braised smoked cabbage and a tangy golden BBQ sauce (all made in house). These were great accompaniments that paired well with the brisket (though the brisket was superb by itself), adding a hint of a reuben sandwich flair to the plate. The macaroni salad was superbly executed, as was the Texas-German style potato salad (with the mustard toned down just a little). Everything I had here was good, but I need to return (several times) to try some of the other items. They all look amazing. I didn't get to take too many photos, so I borrowed some from Smokestack Lightning's Instagram feed to flesh out the images here a bit. You'll have to find where the truck is going to be. Seattle Food Truck .com has the calendar, and the Facebook page for Smokestack Lightning also has notices about locations (but often late in the game). I will be back. Soon. I just wish they would try a few Eastside locations too.

Very tasty BBQ! Truly Good BBQ In Seattle is hard to find and this is cooked well and done right…read more Something I appreciate is that they do the sides well too which is rare. The beans, grits and desert were excellent. The mustard sauce grew on me, but I wish it came on the side instead of on top. I almost gotta take away a star for that Pillsbury canned "biscuit" though. Honestly, I'd rather not have a biscuit on my plate than suffer through that again. Your food is too good and that biscuit just doesn't stand up to it. With all that being said, you can keep the extra star because we are very happy and will be returning & that's coming from a picky bunch who is accustomed to real southern BBQ!

We have been going to the Tat's Truck for yummy sandwiches for many years now - it's kind of…read moreembarrassing that I'd never thought to write about them until now. Tonight, they were at Hell Bent in Lake City. We love that this is a regular spot for them these days because it is the easiest location for us to get to on their schedule. My go-to is either the Chicken Philly or the Turkey Tatstrami since I don't eat red meat. Tonight it was the Turkey Tatstrami. My husband and son always go and pick up the sandwiches. The folks working the truck are so kind and *always* remember them. There's something to be said about being a regular and having a friendly rapport with these cool people. They are often super busy but recognize my family every time. :) There were a lot of people waiting for their food when we got there, but the line to order was short. Everyone was patient - they knew dinner was going to be good! These sandwiches are not for everyone. If you don't like ones that get really messy and require several napkins, this isn't for you. Well, at least the sandwiches that I always order, anyway. What I love: - the super friendly staff, always upbeat and welcoming - the crazy delicious sandwiches, wrapped in white paper (I just love when sandwiches are wrapped in white paper) - their steak sauce. You have to ask for it if you're not getting a cheesesteak sandwich. I always get some. It's tangy and zippy and goes great with their food What could be better: - it's not their fault but parking is sometimes challenging in that area. Hell Bent is popular so it is tough to find a spot in that lot If you love Philly Cheesesteak types of sandwiches, and don't mind getting your hands a little messy, Tat's is a solid choice.

Divine. I had the…read morepleasure of catching Tat's Truck in a nearby neighborhood, and my husband and I sampled their two most popular sandwiches: the Tatstrami and the Philly cheesesteak. There is an old ad campaign for an infamous fast food chain that featured celebrities biting into their burgers and having the sauce drip onto them. Tat's sandwiches make you feel like you're actually in one of those commercials, loving every moment as the sauce drizzles down your chin. The bread on both sandwiches is perfect. Toothsome with a cornmeal dusting but moist and gentle against the sandwich fillings. The pastrami is fragrant and tender, and its amped up by its accompaniment of crisp cabbage slaw. The cheesesteak is so juicy, and the cheese is complementary to the steak but doesn't steal the show. As you can see, Tat's sandwiches are incredibly generous with the meat, as well! Pro tip: if you happen to have a bag of French onion Sun chips lying around, eat them with the pastrami. It's symphonic. It's worth mentioning that their staff is super friendly and helpful, too! I cannot wait to find Tat's again in the wild!

I ordered two Hawaiian burgers and some fries and the lady at the counter charged me for 4 burgers…read moreand my sides and then when i got home and noticed my food wasn't right i checked my receipt and noticed that without my knowledge she added a 13$ tip for herself on top of the other burgers she added. So i was overcharged by around 35 dollars. When i went to call the phone number they have on the website doesn't work. The cherry on top was that the burgers were disgusting. The buns were super soggy, the pineapple tasted/looked like it had gone bad- it was gray and sour, the lettuce was brown and the burger was pink.

Wotjin easy walking, delivery, or pickup distance there are superstars like jamjuree. If you were looking for Thai food in Omaha or Kansas City, this might make it to three or even four stars. The crispy rolls are lukewarm defrosted The sauce dishes are weak and watery. The spices have a little kick, 3 star spicy is maybe 1-2 stars elsewhere but it ain't nothing. In particular, I had a beef panang that was not the worst beef panang I've ever had; even in Seattle. But it was neither pleasing nor memorable. I also had access to a "Grand Special" which was certainly not grand. Largely flavorless mix of chicken, peppers, and cashews. In short: if it was the last Thai food in Seattle, I might order it again, and not be appalled. But there are better options.

"Taqueria" is a joke, and an insult to all Mexican food…read more First of all, this place is actually veggie grill. Why they have a different name? Idk maybe because they are cat fishing you because the "Mexican" options at veggie grill are awful. Never. Ever. Get their quesadilla. It's processed veggie grill J U N K. The cheese combined w the "steak" is a chemistry experiment you don't want to put into your body. It doesn't taste awful while you eat it. But your body will hate you later. I feel like I have food poisoning. My body isn't able to digest this disgusting processed J U N K. The reason I even ordered was because there was a BOGO deal on Uber Eats. Had I known this place was literally just veggie grill, as in you go to veggie grill to pick up your food, I would have absolutely not ordered. 0/10 do not recommend.
