50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lake Forest Park

“Had the crew at Brileys cater our wedding. Amazing food! The service was on point. Plenty of great BBQ for all 60 of our guest, even providing to-go containers for left overs.“

“First time here and will surely come back, staff are very friendly, food is great and the place is very clean.“

“Large portions of the most buttery steaks and pork we have ever had. Real Japanese A5 wagyu grilled for you on the table.“

“Omg I just had the predator sandwich and it was amazing. This was the best sandwich I ever had and definitely made with love and friendly customer service . I strongly recommend 2 thumbs up.“

“The prime rib was excellent. The service was superb. The people are very friendly, and the atmosphere is very welcoming.“

“This is good bbq don’t get me wrong. But we got 4 slices of brisket, 4 spare ribs, one side of kale caesar and one side of potato salad for take out and the total came to $96. Which just seemed really expensive, even for today. This was enough for 2 people to have 2 ribs and 2 slices of brisket.
Honestly it was good but nearly $100 for a very normal portion of food for two people is pretty expensive.
The ribs and the brisket were good though, just not a place that could become a regular thing.“

“The food is awesome. Great owner and staff.“

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!“

“Richards BBQ is indeed too good!
Richard himself warmheartedly greeted me and explained the available options for ordering my meal.

I tried the delicious chopped brisket, mac n’ cheese and collard greens plus the honey cornbread.
Everything was amazing and the chopped brisket was moist, tender and had just the right hint of smoke flavor!

If you love barbecue, stop on by and give it a try…They do catering too!“

“tiny neighborhood BBQ restaurant with delicious food! discovered this when we moved 2 MLT 5 yrs ago & just as convenient to LFP too! soooo tasty- every thing we've tried...we've tried a bunch and have our favs but all is home made and yum! for 5 years when I call to order and pick up it's the same person- which is absolutely so very comforting; especially happy they were still serving during the pandemic, and thankful they're still there. highly recommend. bonus: still totally reasonably priced! love this local gem.“

“Ambiance is nice and server very pleasant n has happy attitude👍👍 must try place to eat.“

“Not a fan of BBQ food but the food here is 10/10 would recommend. Would definitely go again“

“Reliably good Szechuan food right on the Ave. Don't miss the string beans or hot oil noodles. Nom.“

“Most of the snacks in the deli area are pretty good, you can try them~ If you want to eat, I recommend curry instead of beef bowl, because the beef bowl is a bit overcooked and there is not much beef flavor~ Miso soup is also good, suitable for a few sips to warm the stomach before starting the barbecue~😋“

“Picked up dumplings and a bowl from the truck today in Redmond. Delicious!! I can’t wait to try more.“

“I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was absolutely incredible!! Chicken was just amazing and the pickled radish is an awesome accent! will def be back soon!“

“The brisket sandwich was amazing. The potato salad was amazing. Did not like the Mac n cheese though.“

“Immaculate experience from start to finish. We sat at the bar and were treated to some of the most unique, perfectly balanced cocktails I’ve ever had, followed by food bursting with flavor and creativity. What really set the night apart, though, was the staff. somehow even more beautiful, passionate, and fascinating than the food and drinks themselves. BAS, FABIENNE, and ZARA, you absolutely made the night. thank you for your professionalism, warmth, and bright energy. Every visit to Seattle will now include a stop at SOPHON. Nothing but love for this place!“

“Amazing Staff! So Friendly and the food! Off the Charts!!“

“Seoul Meat Co. really impressed me! The meat quality is some of the best I’ve ever had at a Korean BBQ spot — super fresh, beautifully marbled, and so flavorful once grilled. You can actually taste the difference compared to other places. The side dishes were great too — fresh, tasty, and they kept refilling them without us even asking. Everything paired so well together, from the kimchi to the sauces.

The staff were awesome — friendly, attentive, and always checking in to make sure we were taken care of. They even helped with grilling, which made the whole experience really easy and fun. I also loved the atmosphere here. It’s modern, clean, and has a lively energy without being too loud. Perfect for hanging out with friends, family dinners, or even a date night.

Price-wise, it felt totally worth it for the quality you get. We left super full and satisfied, already talking about what we’ll order next time. Overall, Seoul Meat Co. has become one of my favorite spots for Korean BBQ — great food, great service, and a great vibe. I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“I'm obsessed. The owner is so cute and she makes sure she's open if I'm coming. She tends to rotate the selection so there's always fun new things to try. I'm a big vegetable eater so I can recommend so many things but my favorites are the following:

The eggplant 🤤
Bok choy kimchi
Spring onion
Pumpkin with cashews
Braised beans
Pickled yellow radish
The crosshatched mushrooms on the counter (I apologize I don't know what they're called but I adore them)“

“This place is a godsend for late-night munchies. Amazing food, friendly service, and open extremely late - what more could you ask for? The bulgogi was a large portion and was tender and umami without being too sweet. The soybean soup could have used a bit more flavor, but I appreciated it being packed with tofu, zucchini, and other extras. Banchan was good, and I liked the option of having purple rice! Would save this spot for a late-night feast.

The location is a bit tucked away. Interior is very cozy but clean“

“食物很美味肉質很優 ，而且店員有很親切及專業的服務，我超喜歡！值得再訪“

“Very authentic Chinese BBQ restaurant! Their skewers are absolutely delicious — very flavorful, perfectly grilled, and there’s a wide variety to choose from. It’s a fun spot to try different meats and vegetables, and everything we ordered was tasty and nicely seasoned. It’s also a great place for a late-night dinner in Seattle, with a lively and casual atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something different and satisfying!“

“09.06 The food here is divine! We split a lamb sandwich and a plate of cauliflower with tahini sauce. Just wow! The chef packed so much unexpected flavor into these dishes. We will be back. 09.09 We came back for more! So good.“

“Great drinks, really good food and a value and cozy chic vibe.“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

“The food was great, however, several operational issues were noted: tabletop cleanliness was suboptimal, three fountain drink dispensers lacked syrup, and the supply of disposable cutlery was insufficient. When asked for more forks, the staff gave a low end, pre-packaged sysco f.k.s. napkin combo, which are flimsy. It could barely handle scooping baked beans without bending.

Still work it!“

“This is my favorite restaurant! Always amazing food and service!“

“Great atmosphere and service! Atmosphere is good given it's clean and new. Food was tasty and the small dishes (banchan) was refillable. Hit all the right notes. This was the BBQ short rib (kalbi) and Nakdol. Enough good food for two. Service felt prompt with the brown rice tea and refill of the banchan. Not pictured is the small fried fish it came with. Good value in this area and would recommend! Our service was a tall white lady, very polite! Will return on cold dark Seattle winters.“

“Super friendly staff great prices and delicious food.“

“So delicious! I have tried the fried chicken, the spicy chicken sandwich, and the bulgogi bowl. All were made to order, flavorful, with great texture! Their chicken sandwich is particularly addictive, with a spicy sauce, light and crispy chicken, and tasty slaw. Writing this is making me hungry!“

“amazing place very cool!!!“

“This is my go-to lunch spot every time I hop over to the Seattle side of the Sound, which is basically weekly… The staff are super friendly and their self-serve all-you-can-eat bbq bar is always nice and fresh with a good selection of meats and sides that really hit the spot. They also have a full menu of traditional Korean dishes. I will keep returning until life takes me away from WA in 2026…
(Be sure to try their soft serve ice cream after your meal!)“

“Good little place to drop in if you're craving Korean. Side dishes were lovely and refilled often and the food we ordered was authentic and tasty. Luckily it wasnt busy when we went and they seated our large-ish party of 7 immediately. Nice little hidden gem.“

“I visited Stone Korean Restaurant today with friends, and I have to say the portions were quite large. I really enjoyed the veggie pancake, it reminded me of a Turkish dish called ‘mücver’. The tteokbokki was okay; I’ve had better ones before. I tried the Kalbi Bibimbap Combo, which was good, but I actually liked my friend’s Spicy Pork Bulgogi even more, it was delicious! They also brought us several side dishes, and those were pretty tasty too. Overall, we left the place happy and satisfied.“

“Very friendly receptionist that had to misfortune of dealing with how clueless I was lol but handled with professionalism and courtesy. Walked me through the menu and was very nice. Order the beef bulgogi over rice and it was such a huge portion and super tasty!“

“Good Pakistani authentic taste. We had Halwa Puri nasha and everything was excellent. Our waitress was very professional. I didn’t ask her name and i thou that she was from Bangladesh but turn out to be a Mexican did great job on explaining with correct accent ( that shows good training on your wait staff).“

“My son is an extremely picky eater yet he loved Little Foodies croquettes - just the right colour and texture for kids who do not like very chewy foods ! For the first time ever he actually asked for more !!! Thank you Little Foodies :)))“

“The food is amazing and the service is phenomenal! This was so good!“

“Picked up dumplings and a bowl from the truck today in Redmond. Delicious!! I can’t wait to try more.“

“The quality of the meat is superb and flavorful. In addition, the conduction heating bbq is innovative and convenient. Customer service is attentive and very responsive. Son of the Butcher is popular for all the right reasons! Can’t wait to come back and try other items on the menu 👍“

“Food was good. We took it home. The only thing is the chicken was dry and something else was also dry. The jalapeño sausage was just too over cooked and made it taste so bad. Also the texas toast was just bread warmed up. The online discount didn't work so we had to to pay full price. So much for the rewards system...“

“This is a take-out counter at the Crossroads Mall in Bellevue. Terrific and friendly service and excellent fresh-made food.

Vegetarian options: They offer Tofu (bean curd) as one of the protein options and veggie as well of course.“

“Delicious food and drink and great service AND live music! Great neighborhood hangout!“

“The spot is definitely on the price your side for Korean barbecue but the meat quality was really good and we actually got the meat combo for two and it was perfect amount for three people. We got a bunch of different sides. The banchan was the only disappointing part really not a lot of flavor. Their potato salad was extremely dry.“

“Picked up dumplings and a bowl from the truck today in Redmond. Delicious!! I can’t wait to try more.“

“Perfectly average Korean BBQ. Food quality is based on your ability, pricing seems reasonable for an AYCE establishment.

Ingredients that were ordered were fresh and of high quality, including the shrimp and scallops.

Little to no decor, but let's be honest- you're going to K-BBQ for the party, not for the atmosphere.“

“Best place to eat yourself full!“

“Don't be fooled by the looks of the dining room, the food here is good. The radish kimchi was excellent. The cabbage kimchi, although spicy, was delicious. The spicy pork, and marinated beef are wonderful. They're open until midnight and the staff are friendly. We will definitely be back.“
