10 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Gig Harbor

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“

“How did I wait 6 years since moving to Tacoma to try this gem? Roast duck noodle soup. A drumstick, some thigh and some breast in a perfectly seasoned savory broth and egg noodle with just the right bite. The chives and bock choy are a perfect crunch. It’s hard to eat while smiling this big Don’t plan to come here, do it, do it now. Beats anything I ever had in seattle. Or LA/San Fran for that matter.“

“Delicious barbecue and sides 🤤“

“Outstanding Barbecue & Exceptional Service

My wife and I were craving barbecue the other night. I told her there weren’t any good barbecue spots left in Tacoma, but she insisted, “Dickey’s is good!” I’ll admit — I was skeptical. Still, you know what they say: happy wife…

We placed an Uber Eats order close to closing time, and although a few items were unavailable, the team more than made up for it. They sent generous portions of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and sides. I was genuinely surprised — the food was excellent, flavorful, and plentiful.

A couple of days later, my wife wanted more barbecue for lunch, so we ordered again. This time, I called ahead and spoke with Emilia, the GM, to mention the items missing from our previous order. She was incredibly kind, gracious, and understanding. Once again, the food was delicious, and Emilia made sure we received everything we were owed — plus a few extra treats.

Dickey’s delivered great food and even better customer service. We’ll definitely be ordering again.“

“After having numerous visits to other L&L Hawaiian BBQ places, comparatively, this one had the best chicken katsu (moist, tender, perfectly fried) and bbq chicken (also moist, tender and flavorful)!! That was delightful because it was my daughter and grandson’s first visit ever and they absolutely loved their food!!“

“Such a fun place! We’re from Texas so of course this place felt a little like home! Lauren was our server and she was PHENOMENAL!! I told her about a mishap at our previous hotel involving mustard and a dessert and this is what she surprised me with a super sweet gift when we left! We’ll definitely be back!“
