LONGHORN BARBECUE REVIEWS

Good home town place. Service was very friendly and helped this first timer out. Talked to her about what I was looking for, and she came thru. Brisket was cooked just right. Tender, not falling apart :-) The fat still had flavor and melted in mouth like it should. Got to sample 3 different sauces and was showen a little extra love from the cook. Thank you, sir. Potato salad was nice little heavy on the mustard for me. Good all around. I will be back for more soon enough.

A fantastic Spokane classic! This bbq joint features homey traditional western decor that makes you feel like you just tied your horse up outside after a long days ride, ready to fill your gullet with some wholesome comfort food by an oil lit lantern table. I got a large portions of tender pulled pork, loaded baked potato that’s filled to the top with your standard fixins’ (I loved that there was big chunks of bacon and herbed butter on it). Zesty & regular bbq sauces to dip the slow smoked ribs, and probably one of the best cornbread muffins I’ve tasted in a long while. Will 100% be back.

This was my first time at this restaurant and my first time in the city. I was pleasantly surprised by the kindness and professionalism of the staff. We were served by Kathan (I’m probably spelling the name wrong, sorry haha). Great food, excellent service! I hope to come back to this restaurant many more times.

OUTLAW BBQ & CATERING REVIEWS

My husband and I had dinner at Out Law tonight. It’s one of our favorites. We sat in the bar at a booth. It wasn’t too busy but looked like quite a few to go orders. Our food was quite delayed but we were updated by our waitress Jill who was keeping close tabs on how many orders were before us. Jill had the Best hospitality that you just don’t see anymore unfortunately. I will be back not only because the food is always delicious, but just to have Jill as our waitress again. I highly recommend going in and sitting in the bar in hope Jill will be working. You will be so very impressed.

Best BBQ I've had since leaving Texas. The did was great. I had their four meat platters with two sides. It was enough for two people probably! The server was awesome. The sauce choices were all good. Just a do not miss kind of place.

The corn jalapeño pasta salad is delicious. Had the chopped brisket, pulled pork, southern mac n cheese, smoked turkey potato, and Texas chili. Everything was amazing. Will definitely come back again when visiting Spokane.

BETTY JEAN'S BBQ REVIEWS

Food was absolutely amazing! No barbecue place in spokane can come close to competing with Betty Jean's. Ribs were perfect fall of the bone tender, the pulled pork was amazingly tangy and moist! 100% recommending to anyone who enjoys classic Carolina bbq.

Had the brisket sandwich and it was amazing. By far the best BBQ'D brisket I've had in the area. This place is number 2 in the state of Washington and now I know why. Also the sauce was was the best. Next time I go I'm getting the grandma's platter.

Very good customer service was very kind and our Lunch was very amazing and delicious.
