    It was very easy to place an order online. When we arrived,…read morethey were putting the finishing touches on our order. Service was friendly and engaging. We ordered the 4 Meats and 4 Sides Meal for 4 to 6 plus 2lbs of Pork Ribs. See our pictures to see what we picked up. We liked how the items were separated with foil. Hot items were hot and cold items were cold, as expected. We were asked if we needed plastic ware or plates, which we did not. They still put in plenty of napkins and some wet wipes. The food? Pork Spare Ribs - 5 - Nice smokey flavor and very tender. Really didn't need sauce but we had plenty of mild and spicy on hand. Links - 5 - Good textures and excellent flavors. They gave us both flavors because they had run out of the one we ordered. Yay for us! Chicken Thighs - 5 - Thick, meaty, juicy thighs. Tri-tip - 5 - Very tender. Beef Brisket - 4 - I forgot to ask for "Juicy" and some of our slices were on the drier side. That's my bad. Smashed Potato Salad - 5 - Excellent! Cole Slaw - 5 - As expected. Cowboy Caviar - 5 - I don't remember trying this before so I don't know how it compares to that of others, but we liked it just fine. Would we order it again? Maybe but I missed having Mac & Cheese too. Collards - 4 - Tender but a tad salty on the back end for me. We had plenty of leftovers after dinner, so we boiled some asparagus, toasted some Hawaiian Rolls, fried some eggs, air fried some hash browns and reheated some of the meats for breakfast. Mmmm!

    Let me tell you about Lew's BBQ. Or as my husband and I now call it BBQ from the Loo. And before…read moreyou ask yes. It earned that name. Every single letter of it. This place had every opportunity to be the holy grail of down-home BBQ. The kind of spot you drag yourself to when you're too lazy to fire up your own grill but still want to feel like a person with standards. Instead it delivered something far more memorable: profound disappointment wrapped in a paper napkin. The potential was there. The execution? Somewhere between 'bless their heart' and 'what in the actual hell.' We drove from Sultan for this. SULTAN. On a Wednesday. Like optimistic idiots with functioning taste buds and unreasonable hope. We walked in at 3pm to a dining room so empty it felt like a crime scene missing the chalk outline. Not 'peaceful Wednesday afternoon' empty. Not 'hidden gem that hasn't been discovered yet' empty. More like 'did someone die here' empty. The kind of empty that should've been a sign. It was a sign. We ignored it. Now. The meat. OH. THE MEAT. Buried under sauce and not in a 'this is so fire we had to' way. More of a 'if we cover it completely maybe God won't see what we did' situation. Spoiler: God saw. WE saw. The meat was dry lifeless and deeply confused about what year it was. That BBQ had the energy of someone who already put their coat on to leave the party an hour ago but somehow ended up on your plate anyway. The whole meal arrived in to-go containers with plastic forks. Plastic. Forks. The kind that bend before the meat does. I mentioned I'd take leftovers to go. I did not mean 'serve my entire dine-in experience like a sad airport meal.' Nothing says 'welcome to our restaurant' like eating off disposable everything while sitting in an actual building with actual chairs. Now here's where it gets spiritual. A mystery cup of mac and cheese appeared at our table. Uninvited. Unannounced. Like an uninvited relative at Thanksgiving. We thought how sweet! A little gesture! A sample! The universe providing! Narrator: The universe was charging $3.95. That mac and cheese which based on its journey to our table had clearly seen some things. Wasn't terrible but wasn't exceptional. Showed up on the bill. For four bites of mediocre mac that nobody ordered. A complimentary charge. And THEN like the plot needed one more twist when you go to pay on the counter there's a handwritten sign informing you of a $2 per plate/platter upcharge for 'product costs.' No prices on the menu. None. This isn't a scavenger hunt Lew. We're not on a BBQ treasure map. We're hungry people who would like to know what things cost before we eat them. The bill: $95. NINETY. FIVE. DOLLARS. For reheated meat, collard greens and a mac and cheese I did not order but apparently spiritually owed. I still tipped $10. Not out of satisfaction. Out of the deep social paralysis that will haunt me until I die. Look I want Black-owned soul food spots to WIN. Full stop. I am ROOTING for you Lew. But you cannot hide dry confused reheated meat under enough sauce to drown a brisket charge $95 for the experience. You cannot. BBQ from the Loo. I drove from Sultan for this. I will not be back. But I WILL be telling everybody.

    Good food, nice people! A little pricey for take out, but I'd go there again. Easy parking for grab…read moreand go!

I ordered the Fataya Pies (seafood , beef) and unlike a lot of other restaurant meat pies these were super moist & juicy! The flavors were unmatched!. I appreciated the fact that I was able to order a mix of the 3 choices! I ordered the Oxtail Stew for my entree and I thought where has this oxtail stew been my whole life! You know it's good when you start patting your feet and humming! Needless to say, I really enjoyed my meal. Customer service was equally impressive! Love the ambiance & artwork! The owner is an absolute Rockstar! If you're looking for African food, Heritage African Restaurant is the place to go!!!

It was fresh, cooked perfectly, and super flavorful. I completely fell in love with it and will 100% order it again. * The Sides & Drinks: The French fries were just okay... I probably could have passed on them. I also tried the Bisap/Wonjo (Hibiscus Juice); I honestly didn't really know what it was, but it just wasn't for me or my taste buds. I'll 100% be ordering delivery again, but honestly, I really look forward to going in person next time to check out the vibe and try some of their other dishes and drinks!

I would give both the ambiance and the food 3 stars. Not bad or uncomfortable, but not great either. Drink was weak but the wine was okay. Very affordable.

They had the outside harbor seating available with heat lamps which many couples and friends enjoying wines and cocktails along with food as the warm Everett breeze came in from the bay. Our party was seated inside, but still we were seated in such a way as to see the setting sun over the boats and harbor. The restaurant is situated near the grand avenue bridge. Our party was able to walk around the harbor after dinner. Some of our party was able to go up to the top of the bridge and take pictures of the harbor and jetty island. It was an extremely fantastic evening! Thank you Fisherman Jacks!!
