45 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Seatac

“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 love l&l and wish we had one closer to us!!! We spent about $70 for 3 of us and had tons of left overs!!!! The lau lau was amazing!!!!! And the chicken katsu was nice and juicy and crunchy! The malasadas were just ok. Probably wouldn’t get them again. But everything else was amazing!!! There is free parking in the garage. Highly recommend!!!“

“Delicious! They really take the time to make everything right there—totally fresh. Omg, we were a group of four and tried almost everything they had. Everything was so good!

The pollo a la brasa was incredibly delicious—crispy on the outside but still moist inside. The fish (tilapia and trucha frita) was amazing, super crunchy. The tallarines had great flavor. We also had Choritos a la chalaca, loma saltado, chicha morada, chicharrón, etc. And to finish… the alfajores. Mmm, ¡delicioso! They have Inka Cola too!!“

“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!“

“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! ;)“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Delicious! Perfect amount of natural smoke flavor on the brisket and the BBQ sauce was well balanced with a touch of spice. So much meat I used a fork before eating it as a sandwich. Service was fun, lighthearted, friendly. I will definitely go back!“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved this hot pot experience! 🍲 The broth was rich and flavorful, with plenty of options to choose from. All the ingredients were fresh—especially the meats, seafood, and vegetables—and everything cooked perfectly in the pot.
The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was cozy and great for sharing a meal with friends or family.
If you’re a fan of hot pot or trying it for the first time, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“I went to dinner with my family here. It’s absolutely amazing experience. We got the beef feast large size. The meat quality is great. The sides are fresh. Their servers are very nice and friendly. Our family are all very satisfied and will for sure come back again!!“

“We ordered takeout from this Hawaiian restaurant and were very pleased with the experience. The takeout service was efficient, the food was ready within the average wait time, and the staff was polite and attentive the whole time.

The portions are generous and the food was delicious—full of flavor and well-packaged even for takeout. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

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

“Love their KBBQ & service“

“Best wonton noodle soup place in the area. Family owned and managed.

Every time I am here, they are always packed. It will take them a while to get your orders in, to pay, to get their attention in general. Last time, I had to pick up my own soup spoon from the front cashier because there was literally none prepared on the table. I’d recommend going to the cashier directly to pay.

They also offer frozen wonton for you to cook yourself at home.

Overall, I highly recommend the food. Just give them a bit of grace when they’re busy :)“

“My family and I love this place. It is a fast, tasty, reliable fave when we need a filling meal but can't or don't want to cook. We've gotten take out from L&L and brought it to Logan Brewing in Burien who lets you BYO food when you come to enjoy their beers and ciders. Sometimes I'll stop by after work just for a musubi (the bbq chicken one is my fave!) if I need something to hold me over til I cook dinner.

I recently ordered party platters for a holiday get together and the food was delicious and plentiful. L&L even gave me a full large bottle of sweet chili sauce for our lumpia - so awesome! I definitely recommend this spot for picking up catering or an easy meal.“

“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.“

“Excellent Loco Moco, fish sandwich, and kalua pork and cabbage. Very fast service.

**There was a Hawaiian gentleman that I witnessed give a box of chocolate macadamia nuts to a grandfather and grandson. It was very touching. God bless that man for being so sweet**“

“Food as close to being on the Island as you can get. Best mac salad and great atmosphere too!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time going, had a great experience. So much food, all you can eat for just $40. The Garlic Chicken and Spicy marinated Pork were our top two favorites. But everything we got was great. Got also the Beef brisket (which they give you a lot), the Spicy marinated Shrimp, and the Spicy marinated Chicken. For two people who are hungry, only 4-5 meat dishes needed. They do not let you take any leftovers home unfortunately. Even if you cook it. Also got their fried rice, the Kimchi Soup (really good), and the Cold Noodle dish (not that great, or just not our favorite thing compared to everything else and was unnecessary). It was my husband's first time having Korean BBQ, so was fun and he really enjoyed getting to cook his own meat and he loved everything and how much we got.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend“

“Golden Daisy Restaurant is a great spot for casual dim sum and Chinese BBQ. The food is flavorful, portions are generous, and prices are very reasonable. I especially enjoyed the BBQ meats and classic dim sum items — perfect for a quick meal or takeout.

The place itself is pretty simple and no-frills, so don’t expect a fancy dine-in experience, but service is fast and staff are friendly. Overall, it’s a solid option when you’re craving comforting Chinese food without spending too much. I’d definitely come back.“

“One of the best Korean restaurants in Federal Way. Have been there with both my Mom and husband recently.“

“food was goodsrvice was good too!“

“No frills Korean BBQ. The meat is on an island. You select what you want and cook it. There are other side dishes. I pretty much stuck to the galbi, marinated beef ribs. I’m stuffed myself.“

“Great food and Staff. I'll definitely be back“

“We purchased a lot of food for our Christmas dinner. I was supposed to pick it up on Christmas Eve and I got so busy, I actually forgot. At 6 o’clock it hit me that I forgot to pick up my food by five. I called the store. No one answered so I got in my car and drove down here hoping maybe somebody would still be in the store maybe shutting down for the night although they closed at five. When I tell you I pulled up and someone came out to meet me and said I’m so glad you came. I was worried you wouldn’t get your food. One of the staff members waited around and was going to wait until I remembered to get my food. When I tell you, I was humbled and emotional that someone would wait around on their own holiday to make sure my family had food made me feel something I hadn’t felt in a long time. We live in this fast pace, high-tech world, where we forget the humanity of people. We forgot that we belong to a community and that it is our responsibility to care for one another. This stranger cared so much and even put my families meal above his own holiday. I apologize profusely and he wouldn’t hear of it. It was a beautiful human moment that made me realize what the holidays are actually about. We shook hands and I wished him a Merry Christmas. This is a small, family owned, black-owned business and they reflect the integrity, the care and the quality that goes into our food in our culture. I will be loyal for the rest of my life. The meal was impeccable and we still talk about it. We use Jones barbecue for our parties, our holidays, Super Bowl; everything. It’s hard as a small business to make it and stay alive so we need people to support this incredible family own business. They have been around since 1989. You will not be disappointed.“

“We had a few fabulous meals, delicious and spectacular! Pork vindaloo marinated in tamarind vinegar, fish and farm-chicken xacuti, crunchy colourful vegetables stewed in coconut milk, and more. Even a mundane ingredient like yellow pumpkin, cooked simply in earthen vessels, tasted complex and exotic. If you ever offer cooking classes, i'd love to learn the basics!“

“All very delectable DIY AYCE (all you can eat) Korean barbecue plus copious refillable sides. Personal faves are the spicy tofu soup and beef spare ribs (shown). Note however the restaurant has recently come under NEW management. The prices are the same but take note they NO longer accept Groupons, which is unfortunate if you had purchased some prior. Perhaps they will offer a grand reopening special if they know what's good for their customer base. Came today to retrieve a hat I had left on my last visit, but 'twas nowhere to be found, possibly lost in the reshuffle. Was told they be closed for a few days circa 1/20/2026 to get things refurbished. Will try them again once the dust settles, and so may you.“

“They were the caterers for my friend wedding, I helped pace the order and was the one to pick the food up. They did a great job with the food, it was a massive order. The whole pig was a huge hit and delicious. All the food came out great, they had everything ready when I got there, and they were quite thorough in checking the order and even helped me take everything to the car and load it up.
Thanks so much yall really made the wedding so much better and helped me allot in making my friends wedding great!“

“I got the 4 meat right before selection, which I recommend. Somebody, knows what they are doing..I would give this place an A+, but I'm giving it an A. I give it an A because, I did not order avBobo drink. Or, one of those drinks I kept staring at posted on the door. As I ordered take out..The service and atmosphere was good 👍...No complaint..very attentive, inviting, judgement free...I stepped into the door, after 3 other people and they treated me, like everybody else..so kind. Thank you.“
