Seattle-area BBQ (barbeque? barbecue?), Black-owned and full of flavor. These pitmasters are serving smoky, soulful plates that will have you coming back for seconds (and thirds). Here’s where to get your next fix 👇
🍖 Berry’s BBQ (Burien) – A Burien staple for over a decade, reopened by Judy Berry in 2022 to honor her late brother, Rufus. Don’t miss the rib tip special — and yes, they cater.
🍖 C. Davis Texas BBQ (Renton) – Backyard smoker lessons from his great-grandmother, a dare from a buddy, and a $6K Texas smoker later… C. Davis is now serving up sell-out brisket, pulled pork, sausage links, and waffle fries.
