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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“Showed up to Richard's Too Good BBQ yesterday with my husband... We were looking for some good bbq/soul food and we FOUND IT! He got the sausage with ribs, I got the chicken and brisket. Everything from the greens to the Mac and cheese was AMAZING 👏🏻 The meats were moist and perfectly smoked, Mac and cheese was mac'in, the greens tho..... yeah buddy! 🔥 Sausage was perfectly spicy, juicy and wasn't over the top hot. 10/10 LOVE their bbq sauce, completes the whole meal! My husband is from Louisiana and I'm soo happy that he enjoyed the heck out of it! And to boot, Richard was soo welcoming and hospitable. We will definitely be returning!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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! ;)“

“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.“

“We have come here for many years. It been awhile since we came back. We like their new menu looks like it been recently updated. 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!“

“We had such a wonderful experience! Our server Javier was incredibly bubbly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, answered all of our questions, and gave great recommendations. My husband's soup ended up being a little too spicy, and he was so kind to replace it without hesitation. That level of care and excellent customer service truly made our dining experience even better. Such an amazing young man, we really appreciate his kindness and professionalism. We'll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I finally got some food from C. Davis today and wow!! It was so good. The brisket was amazing. The banana pudding yum!! I feel like I’m back in TX again.“

“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!

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

“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.“

“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“

“Everything was good but its expensive. I recently lived in Asia for work, so I'm definitely shocked at the pricing here given its not all you can eat. This is WA though so maybe these prices are normal for kbbq. I'd go again but I hope to find a kbbq that's more affordable with the same good quality.“

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

“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!“

“The PERFECT fuel for exploring Pike Place! After a quick wait (no more than 5 minutes) in line, my husband and I grabbed a baked chicken bun, bbq pork bun, and green tea sesame ball. Baked goods in hand (and $19 later), we settled to eat our pastries overlooking the water. And WOW what a perfect way to start the day!

I started with the chicken bun, warm and puffed with a “pineapple” topping. There’s no actual pineapple in the bun, but rather the top has a crinkly and sweet shell that is “pineapple” in appearance only. This bun was fresh, yeasty, and sweet on the outside, and it contained a savory chicken & mushroom filling within. The filling has generous pieces of pulled chicken, some sort of mushroom, and a yellowy curry sauce with the same texture as an American chicken pot pie.

I also tried my husband’s pork “ham bow” (another baked bun but no pineapple-like topping). This filling was a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce coating pieces of chopped pork—also delish! We ended with “dessert”: a green tea sesame ball rolled in toasted black and white sesame seeds and filled with a green tea paste. It was sweet with a slightly mochi texture and a subtle matcha-flavored filling. While it was a bit oily, it was still SO delicious, and the perfect complement to our breakfast buns.

For a portable, not-messy, hot n fresh baked breakfast, I would highly recommend Mee Sum! I only wish I had more tummy room to try more of their baked goods!“

“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!“

“The staff member was very kind and provided excellent service. They gave us a lot of great service, and we had a wonderful experience. The kids loved it too. It was the best value meal we had.
They even gave us complimentary food and drink cups. Thank you so much to the owner for your kindness and generosity!“

“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!!“

“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“

“Good tofu soup, especially the seafood one.

Everything else is so so, but the soup is amazing! I don’t recommend the beef or the pancakes

The service was amazing, they always come to pour water and ask you if you want more side dishes“

“This place is only take out, very bare bones inside but the food is DELICIOUS! I had the roast pork and char siu pork were excellent. I also ordered the beef chow fun noodles and it was delicious as well. With very wide noodles. It was made fresh“

“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“

“Finally went in for a roast pork and bbq pork fix. A pound of each. Yes, the roast pork can be fatty. If I’m home, I try to eat around most of it. Still, it’s hard to stop grazing. If you’ve never tried it, do. Good Cantonese food.“

“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.“

“I had such a fantastic meal here. Everything was served hot and tasted incredibly fresh.

The grilled short ribs were a standout, perfectly charred and topped with plenty of green onions. We also really enjoyed the crispy fried wings and the beautifully plated fried rice topped with a fried egg and fresh basil. It was the perfect spot for a delicious lunch.“

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

“Way exceeded expectations. I used to own a Korean restaurant, pretty picky. AYCE is the move. Kimchi is not great but doesn’t matter. Everything else is 👏👏👏. Be patient with servers. Every restaurant is understaffed and these kids are hustling their butts off. Tip big.“

“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.“

“I got the duck and BBQ pork lunch combo. First, the sauce they put on it is fabulous. The pork was actually my favorite. I’d never had Chinese BBQ duck before and it’s a little too fatty for me. The cabbage that comes with is very flavorful but it was cold. Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be but it just surprised me.
There is extremely limited indoor seating. I’m talking 4 or 5 tables. And they serve everything in to-go containers.“

“You feel like you are in Hawaii!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Oh my goodness this food is so well seasoned. I could just eat the red beans and rice alone. This is the first time I’ve eaten here since the start of COVID. They have changed the inside from what I remember, it’s smaller. But, the food was great.“

“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.“

“I have been going here for many years the owners may have changed along with now more sitting inside available and the food is still awsome i get a whole rack of the ribs when I am in the neighborhood I go in usually when I am on my way back to my job shop I will continue to go there as long as they are in business“
