This guy is trying real hard and has nearly got it. He does listen to his customers and is constantly trying to improve all aspects of his restaurant. The ribs were a 7, just a little dry. The server left us with one napkin each. Come on! I'm eating ribs here. The California beer came in a can, not good.... More

Little hat to find unless you are following your nose, small in size big on atmospere. Lao back attitude an a big appetite is all you need here. Amazing BBQ, service was amazing and the beer was well matched with a bucket of hot sauces. I had the sample patter and it wa very good though not quite as much... More

Since I live in a town without a barbecue joint, this place was one of my first stops during an extended visit to Friday Harbor. I went with a friend for lunch and we were blown away by the friendly service and delicious food. The pulled pork was slow cooked and yummy, but it was the beef brisket that really... More

We visited the BBQ Shack on our wedding anniversary. We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate the joyous occasion. The service was exceptional. The waitress told us upfront what the restaurant had to offer. They had run out of a couple items, and she apologized for that. She brought us a bucket with the restaurant's 4 signature... More

Last night I drove into Friday Harbor from Roche Harbor (I was up from Seattle, staying at the resort) just to go the BBQ shack for dinner based on the TripAdvisor reviews. Unfortunately I showed up about 10 minutes too late – I walked to the door and saw they were closed, then turned around disappointedly to walk away. Well Kurt... More

My boyfriend and I had this three days in a row. We simply could not get enough. We will be so happy when they open full time for the summer. The pulled pork sandwich was simply mouth watering paired with the mac and cheese…YUMMMM! Service is excellent as well as the friendly staff. Anyone visiting must try this place out. More

A small place with lots of atmosphere, a 1/2 block up from the ferry dock, is a BBQ place from heaven. After reading some of the reviews, we thought we'd give this place a shot. Located just off of Spring St, it's well worth spending a moment to look around the corner for the front door. It was a cold... More

I've eaten brisket all over the country, and this place has to have the best ever! Huge sandwich, tender, great flavor. They have a variety of handmade sauces to try, but it doesn't really need any. Great sides - the deep fried corn-on-the-cob is amazing (really). My friends also got the pulled pork, ribs and chicken and were equally as... More

The food was fantastic and loved all the sauce selections. The food proportions were just right and the prices reasonable. My husband had the 1/2 rack ribs, coleslaw and baked beans. Needless to say, he woofed down his dinner! I had the chicken sandwich minus the bread and the chicken was moist and YUMMY! The only suggestion I would have... More
