50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Renton

“Food is amazing. Pretty expensive for pit BBQ, but if you dont mind spending a little more, its a decent spot. I spent about $40 for a sweet tea, a pulled pork sandwich, mashed potatoes, and a dessert.“

“we ordered 2 brisket and 2 chicken plates... no complaints. our sides were yams, collard greens, beans and okra. there was flavor, excellent (really more than enough) portion sizes. we will definitely visit again.“

“Passed by LT's on my way to a job site for work, decided to try it out since it was lunch time anyways. I got a 2 meat plate with ribs and sliced brisket. Brisket was nice and tender, had a visible smoke ring and bark, and tasted great even without the bbq sauce. The ribs were also winners, much better than the ribs I find at chain bbq joints. The beans surprised me with how flavorful they were, so I'm glad I went with the plate so I had the chance to try them out. I'm not much of a potsto salad guy, so I'll leave reviewing that to others. I'm not in the area often, but when I am you can bet I'll be on the lookout for LT's BBQ Truck.“

“Amazing place! Food is great and staff is absolutely Top notch great customer service!“

“We always enjoy L&L. Would recommend to anyone that enjoys something new and a good old hamburger.“

“Really good BBQ!! We will be back to try the whole menu!“

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

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

“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!“

“A great place I take out of town visitors! I don’t even eat meat but I enjoy their veggie sides and my meat-eating friends and family that I’ve taken here rave about the food! Richard is also incredibly sweet and friendly.“

“Best BBQ in Seattle. They are like family. RIBS are a must. So is the BBQ sauce. ☝🏼“

“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.“

“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! ;)“

“best plate of food. it doesn't matter what you actually get. it will still be the best plate of food around. I drive over over an hour just to grub here. Always delighted and leave full and happy. great people as well. take it from this fat guy... lil reds is the best!“

“Recommended by our shuttle driver who said we could easily share a meal. Very quick friendly service. Great food. Very large portions. Would highly recommend.“

“Chris and Kevin were amazing! The whole staff was. Everyone was so friendly and gave such wonderful hospitality. The broth and foods were all delicious. I would highly recommend for everyone to come visit. Really loved the experience of both hot pot and bbq. Such a great Birthday dinner!
Thank you so much to everyone at Sizzle Pot!“

“first time eating hear. food is amazing. I had a brisket sandwich with potato salad and mac & cheese. some of the best BBQ around in my book. everyone should swing on threw and get some. you wont be disappointed. definitely making a detour by there more often“

“The most creative chef in the Pacific Northwest Jason Melton has done it again. He brought his 30+ years of knowledge to the table to provide a BBQ experience unlike any other. Check the page out for more details and make sure to purchase some merch on the website.“

We ordered our usual of: -Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Catfish Soup -Catfish in Clay Pot/Stew -Rice Today we also tried: -Crispy Oysters -Salted Fish Fried Rice -Three Color Dessert -Thai Dessert It wasn't too busy today, we got a table right away for a family of our. The servers were nice and friendly. Our desserts were bought out first, and soon after the main dishes. Our usual dishes is the tasty as usual. Our favorite as a family is the fried oysters. Our young kids liked it best with the sweet sauce (not spicy). The sizing of the oysters are large and it tasted excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful dining night with the whole family. We will be back as usual! We highly recommend this place! They got some of the dishes we love that keeps us coming back for more!“

“I loved the hum bao, just wish it had a bit more filling. I did try a crab Rangoon..... and let me tell you, that beast was worth $4! It was enormous and had very good amount of crab in it! The taro Boba was awesome. I want to come back and try the pork skewer. And maybe a few other things!“

“Good place to get Dim Sum dishes.
I've tried the BBQ pork, pork belly, roasted duck, hum bow, shrimp balls, chicken feet, siumai and sesame balls... all dond reasonably well. They also prepare rice and noodle dishes. One can call ahead to order larger group sized orders for parties.
Friendly and helpful staff.“

“⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️ BBQ that tastes like home Warms your heart and the lady who works there is a delight ❤️“

“My husband has been talking about this place for the longest time, so we finally decided to give it a try today. We picked everything up and brought it home, and honestly, I’m so glad we finally did!

My husband is from Macau and is pretty particular about Cantonese food, so he was the one who kept telling me we had to try this place. And he was absolutely right — everything was so delicious and tasted really authentic, even as takeout.

We’ve been living in Seattle for over a year, but with all the craziness of moving and getting settled, we somehow kept putting it off. Now I’m honestly wondering why we didn’t come sooner!

Definitely some of the best Cantonese food we’ve had since moving to Seattle. We’ll absolutely be ordering from here again! ❤“

“Really fun place at the gas station! Very nice people!“

“Great ambience, casual with a trendy fine dining touch, music was playing and service was good. Meat quality was to my liking, broth was tasty, experience was great! I came for the lunch special. Came out feeling like I had a full course dinner meal! Would def recommend.“

“I went there for the first time and it was delicious. The customer service was amazing. They offered samples of some of their other food while we waited for our order. The food was so good. I will definitely be going back. Thank you for a wonderful experience!“

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

“We had the ginger chicken and house fried rice. This place is one of the only Chinese restaurant left in Beacon Hill. This says a lot considering this use to be a Chinese neighborhood. The food is classic Chinese American. We will definitely be going back to contributing to their preservation. The first time we had it was at a catered event. I’m glad we went back. It’s an old school classic. Supporting or neighbors will be a joy. Can’t wait to try the chow mein.“

“Great service, delicious, and fun for the whole family! Was super exciting to have Korean Bbq in Kent! Will definitely be going back and highly recommend!“

“Comfort food to the max! Quick service and large portions. Love the fried dough. Do fresh and I could eat 10 of those drowned in the congee myself. The wontons are delicious too. Wish the tables are a little bit more cleaner and less sticky“

“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“

“first time trying one and did the rib eye bowl with the yum yum sauce and tried the Kimchi cucumber. I can't stop thinking about it, it was so good, I want to more!!“

“Absolute hidden gem for Chinese BBQ! Got a mix of the char siu BBQ pork, chicken, and pork ribs, and everything was packed with flavor, tender, and cooked to perfection. The portions are generous and the meat is juicy. Will definitely be coming back for more!

Why did I just discover this place!!!!!!“

“If you're looking for a solid AYCE KBBQ spot, this is it. For an all-you-can-eat place, the meat quality exceeded my expectations. Service was incredibly fast—as soon as we turned in our order sheet, the next round of meat arrived. The servers were super friendly and kept the drinks and side dishes coming. It does get busy, but the wait is 100% worth it. Highly recommend!“

“What a fantastic place to get lunch! My cousin and I work in Downtown and frequently come here for lunch. They have an affordable lunch special and I always get the double BBQ pork. It comes with fried rice, veggies, soup, and a drink. Only $12.00!!! One would think a cheaper price would mean lesser quality, but it's not. The food tastes amazing and I would highly recommend this place to all locals as well as anyone visiting Seattle.“

“Surpassed my expectations. Real Hawaiian here. Food was fresh, clean, and exactly what you want Hawaiian food to be. Everything made perfect. Real deal. The food actually looked how it does in the pictures, perfect. This is my spot in Seattle for ono grinds. Hands down.“

“One of the best L&L Hawaiian BBQs I’ve been to. The owner is so kind and welcoming. He’s definitely giving his all to his customers. Brought everything out to the table quickly and the food was piping hot. He even was so kind to offer us a katsu musubi to try. The food was delicious and restaurant is cute and cozy. Very authentic and welcoming. Spread Aloha! 🤙 10/10“

“You feel like you are in Hawaii!“

“Loved the fried popcorn chicken at Gangnam Seattle! The chicken was super crispy and delicious. We tried it with the garlic sauce and yangnyum sauce—the garlic sauce had a nice sweetness to it, and the yangnyum was really flavorful too. Both sauces went so well with the crispy chicken. Definitely a great spot for Korean fried chicken in Chinatown!“

“Great spot for some good Korean food, especially the tofu soup and #22 octopus bimimbap

The Kalbi was a bit too sweet and salty for me but I like less sodium these days

Service is great. They proactively ask if you want more of your individual side dishes. That’s such good service“

“I gave you all five stars because everything came up perfect. Because of hot and moisture, but that's fine. I'm not too worried about it, but everything else, your Musubi of Spam and your Portuguese Sausage Musubi, was great. I stayed a little bit for that chicken burger, which was really good too. Everything else came out perfect. In fact, it was cheaper than Kent. The one in Kent restaurant was more expensive than the one in Burien, and also it was fresher, so people that will go to Burien would be better.“

“We chose Ola Mae’s Southern Barbecue to cater our wedding a couple weeks ago in August and we would absolutely use them again!
The food was amazing! Our guests raved about it for days and still say it was the best pulled pork they’ve ever had. Everything was fresh and flavorful, no dried out food, like a lot of weddings tend to serve.
We went with a buffet style for about 130 guests and there was lots of options to please multiple dietary restrictions. We LOVED the salad and potato bar option, our vegetarian friends really appreciated the baked potato bar and said they were a fantastic and unique choice.
The only minor things that seemed to be missing was we wished there was some au jus for the prime rib (which was still delicious) and we had been looking forward to his sweet tea, but didn’t seem to get any beverages. I also wish that more had been saved aside for the bride and groom (especially since we were the ones who paid for it). It was nice that we had pre-dished up plates ready for us before the buffet line (which was great), but we weren’t able to get anything additional and we missed out on the appetizers since they started right after the ceremony. We had been looking forward to trying the deep fried catfish but never were able to. Everyone who got to try it, said it was amazing though!

Overall, Anthony was very communicative and went above and beyond leading up to the big day. He offered a ton of services, such as dishwear and linens, that made the day stress free and a breeze and everything was beautiful and so delicious! Absolutely helped to make our big day memorable.

My only complaints Is that we wished we had packed up left overs (if there even was any left) because we were craving his food later in the night and all the next day. We also wish he had a regular restaurant for us to frequent, because we crave his food still! It would be amazing if he had a “pop up” kitchen with pre-order services for us to pick up, I would absolutely sign up for a newsletter/email list and really hope that he offers pick-up options leading into the holidays!

Overall, I would absolutely recommend Ola Mae’s Southern Barbecue, and I will absolutely use them again for any future catering needs!“

“Great pizza! In fact, possibly one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. The other day I ordered a Caesar salad and I'm pretty sure the dressing I got was balsamic and there was way too much of it, so not impressed with that. Atmosphere is very basic. Some wobbly tables and a few TV's.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by here after I needed to stop by the Best Buy to pick up something. He told me that there's a food court with great food and drinks nearby. I saw that Golden Daisy was here and I have always wanted to check them out but they are too far. They were closing in just a bit and were sold out of a lot of things. Luckily I was still able to get some goodies such as the steamed pork buns, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and BBQ pork noodle soup. The food was pretty good, not the best I've ever had but for the price it isn't bad. My boyfriend and I arrived that the siu mai here was flavorful. He really wanted the baked pork buns so we definitely want to come back to try that and I do want to try the duck here too.

The service here was decent, I felt a bit rushed as I hadn't realize that they were closing soon. She also would walk away with each order to set it up but it made it awkward as I was ordering more than a few things. But other than that, it's worth checking out. The store front looks a bit messy and they had some items that were covered with tape and not sure if that was cause it was sold out or maybe they don't offer that specific item at this location? It was a bit confusing.“

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

“One of our favorite places! We come here often with friends, and the food is always delicious. We especially love the borscht, khinkali, and lula kebab. Maria is always so kind and welcoming, and Ruslan, the new server, is also very attentive and makes sure we have everything we need. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Went with two friends, order drinks and waited about 50 minutes, asked 2 servers and no one could seem to find them. Until Lucas came by and got them right away, also continued checking on us giving us great service, honestly would’ve had a bad visit if Lucas didnt come by and help us.“
