I thought the pulled pork was super good! And I’ll go back for the mac n cheese any time - yum! My husband is a fan of their brisket and he even he had enough to have left overs for breakfast too. Yikes Matthew! Next time we’ll branch out with other menu items, though it’ll be difficult to leave such good ones in the kitchen! My only problem is we don’t get to Orcas often enough to enjoy this tasty place!

Good food, great value! Beautiful area. We're a bit older so one meal is plenty for us to share, and then some.

Delicious!!! Brisket, pork and fried chicken are all great and flavorful! Cozy atmosphere in winter. Fun atmosphere in summer with the lawn and ocean views and fun games to play while waiting for your food. Drinks are delicious as well!

We came right before closing and they were so kind to get us set up with some great ribs, beans, potato salad and coleslaw! The ribs were awesome and fell right off the bone; also loved the baked beans! Highly recommended!

A mere .6 mi gentle walk up from the Deer Harbor Marina, we found this GEM!! Prompt service. Picturesque setting. AMAZING food!! Oh, BTW, their sauce is gluten free! It is well worth the short trek to get here. I will certainly come again.

Food was delish! BBQ sauces are GF!!!! Great deck space. Fun outdoor atmosphere, but definitely has indoor seating available. Lots of outdoor games. Short walk from Deer Harbor marina. Would definitely come again.

This is a fun place to kick back with the family. The loaded fries were out of this world good.

We were staying right next door so we decided to pop in and get some BBQ.

Some of the more scathing reviews are a little ridiculous, come on people. Was it the best BBQ I've ever had nationwide? No, but they made some really solid stuff!

The brisket was tender and flavorful and the ribs were solid as well. The rub/seasoning for the meats tasted more subtle than I would do at home, but was still flavorful.

For sides, I loved the collard greens, beans & fries.
The mac & cheese could have used a little more flavor/seasoning to make it pop but was still pretty decent. They did a couple homemade sauces that were very tasty!

Really worth a stop if you're craving some good BBQ and on the island.

This is delicious bbq; tender and flavorful. We had the brisket, loaded fries and loaded Mac’n cheese. The loaded dishes had plenty of bbq meat in them and the flavors were spot on. We’re here visiting family but we will definitely be eating here again. Also, the outdoor seating is family friendly with different outdoor activities (bags, ping pong, darts, etc).

I am going to assume we just came at a bad time, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt because of all the good reviews.

For the record, I am from the south, love BBQ, and smoke meat frequently at home.

1. The ribs were cooked well, but they had zero seasoning or sauce, and were too cold when served.
2. The Mac n Cheese did not have any cheesy flavor, and was served cold
3. The Cowboy beans were watery, overly sweet, and also served cold
4. The Brownie Sundae was served before our meal, which was unusual. I also suspect it was a warmed up, store bought brownie.
5. Atmosphere was relaxed, but I wish a server had checked on our table at least once or twice

Not trying to bash, just being honest.

Staying at the marina, we came in on a Monday at 6pm with low expectations due to some negative reviews. We left extremely happy and satisfied. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich, ribs, loaded fries, greens, mac and cheese and a kids cheeseburger. All were fantastic. I'm not BBQ expert so maybe it isn't the same as Texas, but this is a remote island in WA. Vibe was on point in the sun and I'd be happy to recommend
