Love the beef brisket! They've got a bunch of amazing…read moresauces. The only downside is that they don't have multiples that you can pull from the sauce area to bring to your table... I don't think it would cost much to make this happen and they'd probably save a lot on sauce cost because when I came here with my B-friend's family, for Father's Day. Everybody poured ketchup, bbq & Worcestershire and that spicy white stuff & probably some sauces I'm forgetting about, that all ended up in the trash, mostly. I think it would behoove them to get the little squeeze bottles so that people can squeeze as they go and not just fill up little buckets of sauce and throw them right into the trash after dipping once. I don't think he would even need to have enough sauces for every table... Just a handful. People are pretty levelheaded, and I believe this would not be hard to save a lot of wasted sauce and product cost loss. Leaving five stars because the meats are phenomenal. I'm not gonna do a star just because the sauce situation is awkward. Had a great time! I used to love coming here when Gwen worked here... The drink selections are great! Atmosphere is phenomenal. Great seating outside with a big stage. Plenty of space for children to run around and play. I will definitely continue to come back. I have high hopes for the sauce situation to be slightly altered to avoid loss/waste. Hopefully someday soon.

Great food and ambiance! We come here almost everytime we are in town. I haven't tried everything…read morejust yet but some great dishes I've had are: ribs, pulled pork, Mac & cheese, cornbread, coleslaw, baked beans, corn, brisket, and jalapeño sausage (so just about everything lol). The ribs are phenomenal! Some of the sides have a lil' kick to them that maybe my toddler wouldn't enjoy. So, some toddler friendly/non-spicy sides I'd recommend are baked beans & cornbread. Can't wait to try one of the sandos next time!

Hallelujah!! A true Texas BBQ joint has come to the Inland Northwest! I'm singin' the praises of…read more8251 BBQ! Ever since I saw their posts on social media, I'd been anxious to get there. They're just over the mountain from us (about 40 miles), but I've tried 4 different joints up here in the PNW that advertise "real bbq" and 4 times been disappointed. But, good things have come to those who wait. 8251 sits inside the Chewelah General Store, just off the "main drag." You step inside and the vibe is trendy, eclectic and all-around homey. There's country music playing, friendly folk behind the bar and a nice waft of smoky meats in the air. I ordered a half pound of brisket, some of their house made sausage and a "Texas Twinkie" (brisket and cream cheese stuffed in a jalapeño, wrapped in bacon and grilled to deliciousness). That brisket ... I'm just sayin' ... WOW! Tender, moist, smoky... excellent! The sausage is a little dense, but has good flavor. I do recommend the more "savory" bbq sauce. But, but, BUT, it's the Texas Twinkies that are the big ticket. Outstanding! Prices are on par with anywhere else you'd go around here for bbq (only 8251 is light years better). Again, the staff are super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back to try the ribs and pulled pork ... maybe some sides, too.

We are sampling some fine BBQ at our neighbors restaurant-…read more First up - Smoked Mac and Cheese Next was the amazing Meat sampler platter ! And the key lime tart didn't have a photo chance ..... so yum ! Check out General Store 8251 BBQ in Chewelah!!
