“I’ve been on the hunt for good BBQ in Washington for a LONG time… My search was finally successful today when I discovered BBQ Pete’s in Lakewood Towncenter.

The trifecta of scrumptulessence was in full effect; 1. Cleanliness and attention to detail, 2. Amazing customer service, & 3. (Most importantly) High quality food. From the moment you walk in, your nostrils are greeted with the rich smells of BBQ, shortly after you’re greeted by pleasant team members that are actually happy to help you. The menu has the right amount of choices and the simplicity a place focused on BBQ should. The atmosphere is clean, spacious, and feels inviting.

After you order, you walk to your left and find an amazing assortment of accoutrements that continue to bolster the authentic BBQ experience. There is unlimited BBQ sauce (chose the spicy option for optimal flavor), fresh pickles & onions, and to my amazement real sweet tea as a beverage option (a true unicorn in WA State).

The brisket made me feel like I was in Texas, the BBQ beans reminded me of Grandma, and the Mac & Cheese pushed me over to edge to fully fledged food coma status. God bless BBQ Pete’s, may you ever bring joy to taste buds as you have mine.

P.S. They have free soft serve vanilla ice cream for desert! 🤯“

“the Federal Way store's phone number doesn't pick up. We wanted to follow up on a take out order where they shorted us on one item. Doesn't seem to be a way to contact them. Disappointing.“
