Bare Bones BBQ

This is the best Q in Bellingham. Pork ribs, pork or beef sandwiches, and four sides (baked pork and beans, coleslaw, corn muffins and baked potatoes form the basic menu, with various other offerings popping up now and then. We had the ribs, pork sandwich, coleslaw, baked potatoes, corn muffins and baked beans, served up with a generous helping of BBQ sauce. The slaw was great, with a wonderful piquant dressing. The ribs and pork were also excellent, except that I thought the pork could have used some more smoke. The baked potato and baked beans were fine, and the corn muffin was great. I'm giving it only four stars because I thought the BBQ sauce could have been spicier. It had the right amount of sugar, but not enough spice for my taste. Perhaps they have a spicier one- I didn't think to ask. Still, this is a great place to pick up some Q. Can't wait to try their chicken and brisket, which they cook from time to time.

These guys catered a wedding i went to, to me best part of the wedding. The smokey meat, the great humor of the staff was great. They won me over

That's some tasty Q. I really like there sweet n hot bbq sauce. The meat is always tender a moist. Always severed large portions. The guys are super friendly and fun to be Arabians. I would like to see them throw down some sausage sometime.

Bare Bones BBQ was featured among several food trucks at our annual block party and car show in Fairhaven. I was excited to see them there as I've been wanting to try them. I chose the chicken sandwich with caesar salad...great for a hot day! The chicken melts in your mouth, add extra sauce as you like. Others at my table had beef sandwiches and ribs and were all raving. They did run out of food early, but I don't hold that against them. It was getting towards the end of the party and they were the most popular truck.

Can't check in because the food truck is too far away from its location. So a quick review! Delicious. Had the Rosemary beef sandwich. Nice portion size and meat was super tender and tasty.

Our father wanted BBQ and we tracked these guys down and we are so glad we did! We had the ribs, pork sandwiches, BBQ beans, potatoes, and coleslaw. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious and the pork sandwiches were awesome! The sides were good too. Staff was friendly! We will gladly order from them again!

Good BBQ, good sauces but several sides were not available when we were in on a Saturday at lunchtime. For those complaining that it's dry...yes. It's dry. It's supposed to be dry! That's why you use the sauce. Can't say I was wild about the cole slaw, will try something else next time. Cashier was very pleasant and super nice, but recommendation to the back of the house staff is that you watch what you say. Customers can hear your remarks, so make sure they are "ready for primetime", as they say.

Had the holy cow sandwich and omg it was so tasty the rosemary was outstanding, meat is delicious and done perfectly

Pretty tasty BBQ! I love the pulled pork and grilled vegetables.BBQ sauces are a nice addition of flavor. Very friendly owner and good service.

I had the pulled pork, beef, and beans for lunch. I'm a stickler for BBQ, especially true Texas brisket and southern pork butt. I did not try the ribs or chicken.The two guys working the food truck were very friendly and hard working, and the aroma from the smokers was very promising. There was a line of enthusiastic regulars, so obviously a lot of folks like the food. The portion sizes were generous, and the price was in line with the competition.For my tastes, however, the food was bland. Neither the pork shoulder nor the beef (tri-tip, per the owner) had any significant smoke flavor. Both were served chopped---too finely chopped for my taste. Both were dry, especially the pork. The beef was a bit gristly, not necessarily a bad thing, but at the same time dry and bland. The only smoke flavor was in the BBQ sauce. I'm of the school that says sauce is unnecessary on really well smoked meat, but these meats needed sauce to make up for the flaws. The beans had generous chunks of meat, but were also very bland.These guys work hard and say they source their meats locally, so it's good to see them doing such a brisk business.
