PNW BBQ. After eating here a few times and talking with the friendly employees I've learned that this BBQ is true and homemade by hardworkers. If you by chance catch them when its PACKED, they really go into overdrive. It may take some time/patience but it's worth it.

Most of the food is all made in the kitchen so sometimes it may change taste just a tad depending on who makes it. Maybe a little more pepper or less garlic etc.

The baby back ribs are mouth watering. They fall right off the bone and melt in the mouth. The pulled pork is tasty too specially with the hot sauce! yum.

I've tasted the Burgers which are exceptional. My partner loved the blackened catfish and charbroiled oysters.

I have never been impressed with the beef ribs. They just don't compare to the baby backs. Pork is definitely my favorite.

full bar with lots of choices! pricing isn't bad but not great. what you would expect i suppose.

mmm cocktails, beer, BBQ. lets go

OH, and by the way to the blog before mine, maybe this is pnw bbq, did you ever hear of a telephone? to get in touch with how HORRID your experience was? or maybe even take the time to go back in, tell someone, and then possibly be redeemed by someone else that works there?

Maybe this is BBQ in the PNW. After eating at Tennessee Red's I tried to find a contact email on their website so I could write to them about my experience. There is no way to contact them through their website. Too bad since I really don't like to air dirty laundry in public.

I go into any restaurant expecting the chef/cooks actually want to turn out decent food. So I was so very disappointed with the meal I had. I ordered their Beef rib plate that came with 3 ribs, fries, and cole slaw.

Each rib had no more that 2 oz of meat, all of which was way overcooked and dy beyond description. It was spread out over each rib so thin that there was no way to cut anything off with a knive and fork, so I ended up chewing on each rib and had to really struggle to pull anything edible off each. What I did get was tough and chewy. not what I was expecting.

I love fries, and the "taste" of these fries were quite unique, but in a good way, Tennessee must use some kind of spice as these seemed to have a bit of a kick. However, they were cold and limp. I can understand a cook sending out a steak that's not cooked to the customer's desire since the cook cannot really see inside the steak, but fries? Perhaps the cook who put these on my plate was blind? Kidding aside, this meant that the cook knowingly sent fries to a customer that he/she would not eat themselves. I belive I was curtious to my waiter so I cannot believe the cook was getting back at me for something I did? Perhaps he/she just doesn't want to cook at that restaurant any more.

The only passable food was their cole slaw, quite creamy and a bit tangy - but it wasn't $12 good.

I cannot comment on the rest their menue items so perhaps others have had better experiences than I. That's good for Tennessee, but I know I wlll not go back there.

Mismatch. They advertise award winning ribs and the smoke smells good when you go by but it's just not so! On three occasions the beef ribs just were not up to par. One night I took some slightly elder friends for drinks and dinner and the waitress was al bit put off because they took their time considering their order and asked for a specific cocktail wherein she acted like it was too much trouble. Here's a positive the gumbo was very good. Suggestions, bring some prices down, try a little harder with the service and don't forget to smile - each customer no matter what their age should be treated equally.

Seriously?. I just picked up an order from this place. I got some of their brisket with the memphis sauce. I opened it when I got home, took two bites and threw the entree out. I'm an opened minded eater, but gross is not something I look for in a sauce.
