Ive been to Rhodies before and gotten good pulled-pork sandwiches, but not this time. I picked up a sandwich on my way home from a hike just before they closed, and then tried to eat it while driving in a dark car. The sandwich was full of chunks of fat the size of my thumb with bonus gristle. I had to use the wrapper as a spittoon. It tasted okay, but otherwise disgusting. I gave them two stars for flavor and because I didnt get food poisoning.

I visited this restaurant a few weeks ago because of the reviews. The bbq was ok, I had the brisket platter which had a lot of fat in and the meat was touch to chew and dry. I observed one of the employees that looked like he was intoxicated. when he brought my food to the table you could smell alcohol on him and I later heard him talking to a customer saying that he was the owner. This was around 6 pm on a week day.

You call this BBQ, $71 for bland meat, no fries, weak sauce (tried mild and spicy), and for $10 a sandwich I would think you could get more meat and to serve it on a French roll, a French roll.... Really. My kids said they need to wait to get home (2hour car ride) to eat this, because they are going to fix their own sauce. If you have ever had BBQ dont come here it will hurt your wallet and soul...

Great BBQ. Since they are in the middle of nowhere, they compete on having great food rather than atmosphere or location. Im from the south and Ive lived in the Seattle area for over 10 years and have to say these guys do a tremendous job. This is now my go to BBQ takeout place (significantly better than any place on the Eastside). Its a bit of a drive, but worth it.

Im surprised the reviews are so high. We needed quick bite after hiking and this looked good. Ordered brisket platter and it was not good at all. The meat used was definitely not brisket cut, but rather more like a chuck roast used to make roast beef. It was also dry and lacked any smoke flavor. If youre a bbq fan, avoid this place. Very disappointing

Found this place via Google Maps after leaving Snoqualmie Falls. Its been tough finding amazing BBQ in Washington. This place is pretty good, wed go back. A great addition would be french fries, kinda bummed they didnt have any. The food is worth going for, the decor and parking area are not great, lower your expectations in that regard.

Maybe because Im from a big Midwest city, but this was subpar. It was bland and lacked the usual sides. Once youve had real BBQ, this would never do. When asked about fries we were told this is a burger joint... Yeah save your time and money and go someplace else or make your own. On a positive note, the meat was tender.

Oh snap!! Friend recommended this place on the way out to Chelan and boy is it worth it! I confess Im not knowledgeable about BBQ at all, but the Chicken, Brisket and Ribs were all really tasty. Fixins and pickles were great as well. Would highly recommend as a hearty pit-stop for folks traveling across the Cascades.

Finger-licking good ribs and yummy pulled pork! We tried the mild sauce, which isnt spicy at all, so I suggest getting the spicy sauce for a bit of kick. Folks were really nice, atmosphere is pretty laid back. Decently priced with portions that easily fill up a 3 section paper plate.

Great BBQ place. This is really one of the best BBQ places Ive been to. The menu is simple, the meats are perfectly smoked, and you can see the smoker going out front. Great after a hike, or if youre in the are. Highly recommend checking out this great BBQ place.

Saw the smoker outside a couple of weeks ago and decided it was worth a try. Not disappointed at all. Had the Carolina boss. spicy. Perfect! Even the bread was great. Cant wait to try the other items on the menu. Generous servings and very friendly staff.

Good Q, large portions. I made the mistake of ordering a half rack my first time here, could have easily fed both of us! Ribs are large and meaty. The smokin hot sauce is tasty & pleasantly warm, not overly hot for those of you accustomed to hot stuff.

I had less than zero expectation for this place. Partly due to not being a huge fan of BBQ in general. I was totally wrong. I had a fantastic sandwich which was ready nearly instantly. Bonus - real deli style dill pickles available.

I ordered the pulled pork platter, which came with biscuit, baked beans, and cole slaw. I was surprised that all of the items were good: usually one or more is basically a throw-away item. All for $10, a pretty good deal.

Best BBQ in the area at a fair price and the staff is very nice. Their hooch sauce is actually honest to God spicy while still being flavorful. Go here over any other lunch joint if you are in this part of I-90

Best BBQ I have ever eaten, staff is always a pleasure to talk to. I can see why they have won best BBQ of Seattle multiple times. I will always choose rhodies over any other BBQ joint in Washington.

Pretty solid BBQ joint with fast and friendly service. The BBQ chicken is decent and the spicy sauce wasnt spicy at all. Good for a quick lunch if, like me, you are a soccer dad across the way.

Rhodies is a great taste of PNW bbq! They do it their own way so dont go in expecting the TX style. They have a fantastic brisket and their potatoe salad is incredible. Highly recommended!

Go here for lunch every weekend, never been dissapointed. Always fast and delicious no matter how busy they are and the Pepper Jack Mac is insanely delicious. Definitely worth trying!

This is one of those places where i will delay eating in an effort to make eating here seem convenient at the time. Great side of the road place with awesome sandwiches!

Pretty good BBQ, surprised to not see corn bread on the menu though. Also, minus one star for using Styrofoam containers in 2016.

Best BBQ sandwiches hands down!! Im sad they moved away from the Mailbox Peak trailhead. We loved coming here after a hard hike.

Bbq was great but not for little kids. Our 3 kids could not eat what we ordered them here because it was way to spicy for them.

I got the pork platter (spicy) and it was phenomenal! The coleslaw is delicious and the baked beans were incredible!

Was not good. Staff was very friendly but ribs had tons of fat and not enough meat. Price was high for the product.

The extra spicy sauce is great but could definitely be spicier. A bit pricy and make sure to get lots of coleslaw.
