HONEY BEE BBQ

The ribs, chicken and brisket are slow-cooked over an alder wood fire until the meat is tender but not soft, and infused with smoke all the way down to the bone. 1314 72nd St. E., Tacoma, 253.535.0588.


 

JT’S ORIGINAL BAR-B-Q

The popular dining room offers house specialties with choice of two sides. Moist corn bread, lightly coated with butter, soaked up runaway juice from The Porker platter. The full pound of tender pork ribs disappeared quickly. Scoring the last serving of collard greens was a bonus. We went with mildly spiced baked beans with minced bacon and homemade coleslaw that acted as a palate cleanser between bites of catfish that was rolled in corn bread crumbs and then deep-fried and juicy pork. 7102 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, 253.565.4587.


 

PORTER'S PLACE SOUTHERN CUISINE & BBQ

Serves up the deep South offering ribs, catfish, coleslaw, collard greens, gumbo, etouffee, catfish, jambalaya, and blackberry cobbler. Check out the Saturday night jazz.  2615 E. N Street behind the La Quinta Inn, Tacoma, 253.383.7603.


 

SOUTHBAY DICKERSON’S SLOW AND LOW BBQ

Dickerson’s family-owned restaurant sports a bustling lunch and take-out business and is the epitome of casual dining with comfort food. 619 Legion, Olympia, 360.943.6900.

Can we PLEASE not forget about Famous Dave's?! Their corn bread is oh-so perfectly moist, there are 6 different barbecue sauces to choose from, and the barbecue chicken and ribs combo is out of this world!!
