10 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Gig Harbor

“This is by far the best BBQ in Western WA. Everything is good. Portion sizes are great and prices are reasonable. We drive an hour just to get great BBQ. We have met people who drove 3 hours to just eat the excellent BBQ. They also have vegetarian options.“

“Absolute 10/10 BBQ spot. Great food and huge portions. The nachos are easily big enough for 2-3 people. Brisket was super tender, no sauce needed. The smoked chicken was moist and delicious. Super impressed and the service was awesome too. Highly recommended. Outstanding bang for your buck here.“

“Do not know what some people are talking about, we had the Hot and Sour soup was the best we've had in many years then the Chinese peppered Pork Chops. OMG the best I've had in 26 years. This place is inviting and the food is great.“

“I’ll make this easy for you: go. And eat the roasted pork and BBQ pork, then thank me later. Lin was welcoming, kind, and helpful recommending the perfect dish for my first visit. I destroyed everything on the beautiful plate and could’ve sat there and ate it again. Her father, who prepares everything fresh daily, deserves high praise. Pro tip: go early before they sell out. 10/10 would recommend.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Our Favorite Spot on the Trip! We stopped in during a girls' trip and fell in love with the vibe. It's fun, cozy, and full of good energy—the kind of place that makes you want to stay a while. The owners were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel like we were right at home. Every single dish we tried was bursting with flavor—absolutely exquisite. And the drinks? So unique and delicious, you’ll want to try them all. From start to finish, the service was fantastic. This was hands down our favorite place on the trip. If you're in town, do yourself a favor and don’t miss this spot. Sooo good“

“Delicious barbecue and sides 🤤“

“I discovered this place today. It is, hands down, some of theeee best food I have eaten in Washington state. It is a spectacular blend of flavors and seasonings with 5 star presentation. My 4 year old obliterated the duck 🦆 sammich!“

“Very friendly staff. We came in with 9 people and a baby on a Sunday evening and the staff were hustling never made us feel bad even though they were clearly understaffed. We appreciate your friendliness and great service. Food came out as fast as possbible and accurate. Thanks guys we will definitely be back.“

“L&L is consistently good across all the sites I've visited over the years. The chicken katsu is my favorite dish there, and I rarely deviate from it, but the short ribs are also excellent, and often what my friends get when we visit together. It's a national tragedy we lost the Lynnwood store some years ago, because the other locations are considerably south of Lynnwood. If you like chicken katsu, definitely give it a try, and do yourself a favor and get a Spam musubi with it.“

“Steel Creek is the best country bar in the Seattle area! Great vibe, music, and energy. But the highlight every time I go is the bartender Cass! She’s incredible! Not only is she super friendly and fast, but she literally knows my drink before I even get my card out! That kind of service and attention makes the whole experience even better. Steel Creek is lucky to have her behind the bar!“
