Couldn't eat the too greasy bun.
Marielena R.

I should have looked at photos before we came here, my burger bun was sooo wet:( The grilled onions were tasty but just needed salt. Fries so tasty and delicious, a decent wait but polite service. Would give 5/5 if bun wasn't so wet, I'm just a Big Crunch girl.

Original cinnamon rolls

Tried their new "The Dimepiece" burger today! It's their 10 oz massive 100% brisket patty with havarti cheese, pork belly, and caramelized onions and house ranch. Nothing was dry or over cooked with this burger baby! You've got to try it!!

Where to start... I've been passing by this place for a literal year and finally stopped by with my husband today. You order at the food truck and then you can take it to go, sit inside, or outside in the patio area. So much seating and everything was spotless and clean. Food took maybe 5 minutes to get out and I'm telling you the smell and look of everyone's else food we passed by had me drooling already. We ordered the loaded brisket fries(w/o sour cream) and the Pulled pork breakfast burrito. When I tell you the size of the burrito could have fed a family of 4 I'm not exaggerating. It's well over 3 pounds. This was so freaken delicious. I mean everything about it all the flavors complimented each other and the spicy bbq sauce was out of this world. The loaded fries.... The most perfectly crispy potato fries covered in cheese and a huge amount of brisket. We got a side of homemade ranch and spicy bbq sauce so we could dip everything in sauce! I'm a bbq sauce snob and ranch snob both of these sauce were delicious. I literally couldn't stop stuffing my face. I was in a trance at this point. The gentleman who owns this delicious restaurant happened to be there and we had a great conversation he went above and beyond. We won't soon forget your kindness and that of your staff as well. We were also lucky enough to catch a glimpse of their adorable frenchie named brisket. As the beautiful summer months approach give these guys a visit you won't be disappointed. We're literally going back tomorrow. 10/10 on everything. I don't have any suggestions other than I wish you were closer to my home!

Brisket mac & cheese!
Jake H.

Steele Barrel BBQ Company absolutely stole the show at the South Sound BBQ Festival this past Saturday, July 12, 2025, at Huntamer Park in Lacey! I hit up quite a few BBQ vendors there, but their Brisket Mac & Cheese was seriously next-level. Hands down the best thing I ate all day, and it genuinely smoked the competition (pun intended)! I even reached out to them because I couldn't find it on their online menu, and the owner, Steele Clayton, was super quick to respond. Turns out, you can get it as a loaded option online, or it's always available on their paper menus at their Yelm location. If you're ever in the area and craving some top-tier BBQ, you have to check them out. I'll definitely be visiting their location soon to get more of that Brisket Mac & Cheese, and I'm excited to try some of their other items as well! I was so engrossed in enjoying this dish at the festival that I completely forgot to take a picture. Luckily, Steele Clayton was kind enough to send me this candid picture to share with you all.

Pork belly minis

Well, I can't imagine I will eat any other BBQ anywhere except home. Luckily we got to spend time with Steele himself so it made our dinner extra special. He is amazing, his staff is amazing and the food is CLEARLY made with love. This is a true hometown place to eat and if you have never been...GO. I had pork belly tacos and my honey had the breakfast burrito. So blown away by the flavor. Location is cute and feels comfortable. Will be regulars from now on...

Saw this place pop up on an add on Facebook, looked delicious so we went to try it. Wow! Best bbq we have had in Washington. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious- great flavor on the meat, generous amount of pork & a toasted bun. Mac & cheese & fries were good as well. Quick service & friendly employees. Cute little stand and picnic tables to eat on a nice day. Will definitely be making the drive back down to yelm for some good bbq!

Finally managed to swing by when it was open and I was not let down. Great prices and everything…read morewas fresh! Would highly recommend.

Perhaps I had unrealistic expectations after reading so much about how this is "the best" burgers…read morein Oly. After driving by dozens of times, we finally stopped. Food: The burger was good, but not great. The bun did its job well and didn't fall apart. The burger was thicker than a smash burger, but less than a quarter pounder. The beef was simply bland. It had either too little or no discernible seasoning to bring out the flavor of the meat. The cheese was nice and melty. The burger sauce was good. Honestly, we both decided we preferred a Sonic cheeseburger. (Sorry). The fries were simple, crinkle cut frozen potatoes. They also lacked flavor. We ate a few each and the rest went in the bin. Service: There was no line, so our order was promptly taken and the food came out quickly. Friendly service at the window. Ambience: it's a food truck. They have a pop-up canopy and a picnic table which we shared with other customers. Nice conversation, friendly people. Although I mentioned Sonic, it's clearly not the "best" burger in Olympia, but it is consistent. I like smash burgers and we have good options, but I'm still looking for a place that makes a thick, juicy, flavorful burger in Oly. So far, the best burger I've had is in Tacoma at Burger Seoul. The beef mixture includes brisket and is always full of flavor.
