Honestly, not to be rude to their competition, but this is the only barbecue in town worth having. It was flavorful, perfectly done and you could taste the smoke. As a transplant from the southeast, I was getting worried I wasn't going to find a barbeque joint here. I'm not worried anymore. Also the sweet tea is good and the people are nice

One of my favorite places to go when I’m craving soul food. The food is outstanding and the customer service is amazing as well. They are all very personable and nice whenever me and my partner go in. The Mac and cheese is hands down my favorite but you can never go wrong with anything on their menu it’s all excellent.

This has been exactly what my wife and I have been searching for when it comes to BBQ in Washington! The Mac n cheese was so creamy with a hint of sweet. The ribs were so juicy and tender with so much flavor! We will be making trips back to Spokane specifically for this place!

North Carolina style bbq in Spokane’s south hill. Ordered ‘The RDU’ (takeout) with brisket and chicken paired with green beans and slaw. Food was ready for pickup within 15 minutes from ordering. Comfortable, large booths, welcoming and friendly. Looking forward to eating in-restaurant next time! Parking is behind restaurant.

My family and I love this restaurant. The esthetic, atmosphere, and service is unmatched. The food is always served hot and timely. I originally began to visit the restaurant when I used the cater service to service my baby shower 2022. The food was a hit! Ever since we’ve been locked in. Join the Betty Jean wave . Your missing out on a great down home experience from NC.

everything we had was so darn good! i got chicken and ribs with baked beans and coleslaw, she got pulled pork with mac and cheese and corn. the beans had a nice smokiness to them and the coleslaw was pretty perfect, not overly saucy. my only minor complaint is I wish there were wet wipes or at least paper towels available, cuz you really need something after handling the ribs and chicken. will absolutely return!

The brisket was super soft and moist! Nice crispy outer layer with a little bit of fat perfectly juicy! The sausage is decent. The ribs were amazing!!! Fatty but amazing!! I really wanted to like this place! And I'm so glad I do! Their BBQ sauce could go better but the meat is good enough that you don't really miss it! I tried the grandma's special 3 meat combo and the beef and pulled pork burger. Both were amazing! The sides were nice too. Loved the hush puppies. The corn can do better. Very satisfied. I'm going back very soon! Their meats are MUCH better than outlaw which everyone in Spokane recommends. But I've tried outlaw 4 times and been disappointed every time! We reached 7:40 and they close at 8 (even on the weekends)...But they made us feel welcome and did not rush us. We were out before 8:10.
