“I’m from Dallas, TX and have had a hard time finding true southern BBQ in this entire state! Except Pete’s! Now, I’ve had great smoked brisket and other great smoked culinary experiences, but this one is the most Southern. What I mean is that the coleslaw is excellent with a medium shred, not too large or chopped too small, and an even amount of dressing. The sweet cornbread muffins with honey-butter straight from cast-iron are amazing. The pickle slices are even a culinary delight, sitting next to raw onions and a plethora of BBQ sauces to choose from. Oh, and free ice-cream cones if you even have room left to fill (we did not, lol). I could go on about the sweet tea, baked beans, slow-smoked ribs, shredded smoked pork, sausage, chicken, and desserts but…Just bring your appetite and try it for y’all’s selves! ;)“

“this place isn't underrated... it's not even talked about or discussed enough among foodies. This place is a hidden gem of the foodie community. I've been coming here for a few years now and consistently juicy cuts and flavor never disappoints.
The crispy pork is a much thinner skin than most chinese bbq spots but it's very flavorful and because of the thinner skin, the crisp, crisps more.
The roast duck is one of my favorites, the bigger pieces is just dripping with flavor in every bite. the skinner pieces still has great flavor but no meat and all bones.
The soya sauce chicken is extra juicy as well - personal preference I want a deeper soy flavor but over all still delicious.
And the BBQ pork is juicy and flavorful as well.

The lunch plates range from $12 - 16 depending on how many cuts you want - they aren't HEAPING portions but a very healthy and filling portion for one person to eat. Just to be able to not have to drive to Chinatown in Seattle or Tacoma for chinese bbq makes this place worth all the hype and a great reason to visit.“
