Texas Smokehouse Bar-B-Q

I've been eating barbecue all around the country for over 50 years, and this place stacks up woth the best. You won't find better brisket anywhere in the northwest. A classic barbecue joint. more

You won't be disappointed, and that's a promise. I'd been looking for ""real"" BBQ since I moved up from Houston and Dixie's was.. OK, but Louisiana BBQ just won't cut a Texas craving. The Texas Smoke House certainly fills the bill. You know this is good BBQ from the smells of the smoking pits when you walk in. Everyone has to try it spicy. It's toned down for the NW taste, but enough kick to warm the taste buds and won't leave you frantically looking for your water glass. I love the chopped beef sandwich. It's all you need and then some. The Texas spud is another favorite. It'll stick to your ribs and won't empty your wallet. My family and I live in Auburn, and we feel this place is well worth the hours drive 3 or 4 times a month. I'm sure you will too. Boy Howdy! Pros: Inexpensive, REAL BBQ!!!, Fresh brewed Ice Tea Cons: only one location more

The Texas Smoke House has the best Bar-B-Q in the city, much better than Dixie's. The food is awesome and the prices are great for lunch, and still not too bad for dinner. Well worth the drive to the North end. Pros: Inexpensive, Great pork Cons: Big Al more

Best beef ribs and baby back ribs in the entire Pacific Northwest. more

After all the hype, I had to try it. The ribs had a lot of meat but the sauce was OK. Dixie's and 3 Pigs still rule. The cornbread had a weird taste to it and it was kind of hard. Beans and potatoe salad were ordinary. The service was great. Really nice people! Pros: Service more

Having moved from Texas 4 years ago I have been searching for decent BBQ. The meat here is as good as any I had during my 30 plus years in Texas. The brisket is served as it should be, sliced not shredded. The sauce is OK but the meat really doesnt need it as it is smoked to perfection. The meat is tender and juicy. The potato salad and beans are a little bland and the cornbread needs to be sweeter. Sides aside For REAL Texas style smoked meat run over the Armadillo and head to the Texas Smoke house. Now if someone could just find me a decent Mexican restaurant. Pros: Tender and Juicy meat, Great portions, Friendly Staff Cons: Edge of town, Sides a little bland more
