We went to the one near Southcenter Mall located in South of Seattle. Great BBQ with lots of options for food choices. We order the Famous feast for 2 & fed 3 people very well with some leftover. Their cornbread muffins are very good... the brisket is very tender... there are BBQ sauces that you can have with your meat. This is a chain, despite it being a chain restaurant, their food is good. I love how the food is presented in a trash can cover. If you are ever in Southcenter mall, try their food. Service was good & the decor was great with a good sense of humour.

This was my first time dining here at this particular location. We've always had takeout…read more We started with the burnt ends appetizer and I had a combo and the kids had their kids meal. The burnt ends were alright. They are in cubes and slightly sweetened with a side of fries onion sticks. The kids liked their wiki-stix and it kept them preoccupied while waiting so I appreciated that. The service was good. Our server checked on us often and made sure we had everything. I liked the roll of paper towels on the table for easy access. The kids rib dinner came with 2 ribs. Both didnt seem off-the-bone tender. I was a bit worried it was undercooked. It didn't take too long for the food. The chicken that I ordered was seasoned well but small. Part of it was a little dry but glad that it was cooked all the way. The sides were fine also -served in little cups. The fish was good but on the small side as well.

THIS REVIEW IS SOLELY BASED ON TASTE ONLY. ORDERED ONLINE FOR PICKUP…read more This is my first time trying American BBQ and I must say I was very disappointed. I ordered my meals online, and paid $3 extra for Brisket but when I got home there was no brisket to be found. Instead it was replaced by a chicken. (Evidence can be found on the attached order receipt). The BBQ itself was very dry. Some of the rib tips I had were not edible because I couldn't chew it, the chopped pork was dry and flavorless even though it had sauce on top, and the chicken was decent but I didn't order chicken :( To sum things up, the best thing I ate was probably the corn bread and the mac and cheese. I enjoyed those but sad that I couldn't enjoy the BBQ. Next time someone asks to go to Famous Dave's, I will simply say "No thank 'que".

Friendly service and the food was pretty decent, just wish there was more of it…read more The fried chicken drumstick and thigh were so itty bitty. Come on, that was so tiny!

They don't serve alcohol so don't try to order a beer (which would have gone good with the meat.) It is a little hard to find so use a GPS. There is only one entrance into the little mall and it is around the corner. When we walked in, I thought, "Oh no, it's just a take-out," but there is a dining room off to the left. We thought it was interesting that there were firemen there, ordering take-out smoked meat, but that just meant that the place had good food. The service was very good, even on a Friday night. I had ribs and brisket, and my husband had ribs. The portions were very large. The brisket was tender and smoky. There was BBQ sauce on the table but the meat did not need anything. My husband thought the ribs were just a little chewy. When we BBQ ribs we like the meat to be so tender it just falls off the bone. The smoky meat, however, was wonderful. Don't be grossed out but I took the bones home to make soup stock, and they are boiling in chicken stock right now. Dinner was not cheap. For two entrees of meat including 2 sides, 2 corn bread muffins, an iced tea, coffee and tip, dinner was $100 for two people. This, of course, did not include any alcohol. Would we go here again? Maybe. We can do smoked ribs as well as they can but we would not try to do brisket.

Before I came, I looked at the reviews and there seems to be a lot of different mixed messages. For one if you're a regular customer and come in often, the employees seem to treat you much better, and when it comes to food they seem to have the better pick of food from the kitchen. As I read through one review they frequently come, they said that they are definitely changes in the service and the quality of food just within the last year or two. Given more history, I did hear that after Covid the restaurant lost certain companies that they used to get their food from which could explain the downgrade in the quality. I only took one picture because in all honesty it really wasn't worth me taking others and I don't understand why a side salad literally a third of the plate was eight dollars. The cucumbers had gone bad and some of the lettuce had even been wilted. The salad definitely was not worth eight dollars. I have had side salads with fresh ingredients for the same price at a dive bar and this is supposed to be a very well-known kind of upscale barbecue place that's in a well-known community that supports their business. The server was also mediocre and I honestly don't believe it would've been better but we were with a well-known customer, the employees seem to be a little bit more friendly, but definitely did not go out of way to make sure my meals were good. The macaroni and cheese taste very bland. There was not a whole lot of seasoning to it. Some of my brisket was dry and some of it was cold so that makes me wonder how long it's been sitting. The brisket was also kind of a seasoned, but not very well. The Tri-tip also was dry which I don't recommend getting. I did enjoy the baked beans and potato salad, but be aware because some cups of beans have mainly onions and bell pepper with barely any beans and some of the cups have no onions and peppers with just all beans. I have had a lot of barbecue in this state being a native of Kansas City and relatives from Texas. I know what good food is especially barbecue! I guess for this area it's one of the better places to go. The only other location that's nearby is Jack's barbecue which is their specialty is beef ribs, but they put literally pepper in everything so there's no flavor at all except for spicy!!!! At least at this restaurant, I'm not drinking a gallon of water because everything is so spicy like at Jack's but that's for another review. Thank you again for your support and following my review's. Has always be safe out there and I'll see you at my next bite!

I was a little unsure of what to choose, because it all looked good, and the smoker was cranking out DELICIOUS SMELLS.... but he recommended the beef ribs. I picked the pasta salad and coleslaw for sides. The ribs were tender, but not falling apart mushy. Good mouthfeel. The smoke was perfect. NO LIquid Smoke yuckiness (IDK where some of these reviewers are used to eating to claim he's using that nasty stuff...) The saltiness was nice. Not AHA recommended sodium intake for cardiac health, but very tasty. The pasta salad was al dente shells with a flavorful blend of mustard, mayo, egg yolks, and seasoning. Quite good! The slaw was fine. I'd have preferred a bit of red onion to liven it up a bit more, but that's just my taste. The sauce was nicely balanced with the sweet, salty, savory, tangy. I hope they'll consider adding a spicy option! Servings were plenty for me to have lunch, and hubby and I to have a full dinner on one plate. Will absolutely go again!

Where you can have nice steaks, chowders, Onion Rings. The place is clean but the floor is filled with roasted peanuts shells. The atmosphere is fun with people drinking, eating peanuts and appetizers. We got a table near the back, quite red LOL. I did like the peanuts. We ordered some ipa beer which is very good. At these places, the onion rings are a must, but I didn't think it was flavorful unless we dip in the ranch dressing. The hot bread was good with regular salted butter, had to request if not you'll get sweet butter. I ordered a 12 oz prime ribs, it's not as tender as the one at Lawry's, it's a little chewy for my taste. My sister thought it was good, she liked it. Her crawfish chowder was excellent for me but a little rich for my sister's taste. My brother in-law liked his chicken fried steak. It's nice to visit a nice steak house sometimes, the server was extremely attentive, pleasant and funny. He filled up my Iced Tea many times, more au jus, fresh horseradish, ranch dressing, etc.

The menu is stacked... like "everything sounds good, how do I choose?" stacked. Tons of options, all legit BBQ comfort food. I went with the two-meat special: pulled pork and brisket, plus potato salad, beans, and a corn muffin. Every single thing slapped. Brisket was on point, pork was tender and smoky, and the sides were legit; not just filler. Others in our group had the brisket Reuben (big hit) and ribs, which disappeared fast, so yeah... that tells you something. Huge shoutout to Deborah--she was fantastic. Super friendly, walked us through the process, brought the food, checked on us, grabbed anything extra we needed. Old-school good service, which you don't always get anymore. If you're looking for fancy vibes and linen napkins, keep driving. But if you want killer BBQ, a clean spot, and great service? This is absolutely the place. Zero regrets. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.
