Buckshot Honey

Wow I've heard about this spot for a minute but haven't taken the time. Dad and I splurged for a fancy lunch on a crappy day and it really helped lift our moods. The food was generously prepared and portions were leftover size but I was definitely planning my next visit with certain folks in the near future.

This has become my new favorite BBQ place in the broader Seattle / Eastside area. We stopped by randomly a few weekends ago and were blown away by how good the food was. I committed to coming back on my bike, which I did yesterday, and stopped in for their Oscar Wilde bowl after riding the Snoqualmie Valley Trail. It was so delicious I started texting friends that we need to plan bike rides in the area with a stop here. Great service, friendly folks, good beer, and life-changing (no joke) BBQ that has me already making plans for my next visit.

We spontaneously decided on this place for lunch since it was pretty highly rated in the area. It's a cozy local BBQ spot that had a good amount of customers on a late Saturday afternoon. We got the 1/2 lb brisket with a side of coleslaw which we really enjoyed. The service was friendly - they even checked on us throughout our meal. It's not a huge place so seating was limited but there was also a small upstairs that had bar stools for two and a small sofa and coffee table section to seat about 4. Overall, we liked this place and would come back!

Well it's time to compare Pacific Northwest BBQ to the Southeast as this Bama Boy made a stop at Buckshot Honey. Down South share horror stories about how bad Pacific Northwest BBQ but what I found was a mix of fact and fiction. What I found was fiction was the brisket. This was terrific brisket as it fell apart easily. It also had the outer trim of fat to add flavor to it. The mac and cheese had humongous shells and was good and cheesy. The potato salad was a redskin variety with whole potatoes in some kind of conglomeration that I really enjoyed. The slaw was pretty good too. There are 2 sauces - a mild, tangy one and a vinegar base.But here comes the fact portion of my review and comparison. I'm sorry if you are the owner and reading this. The pulled pork was dry and tough. I came in late so maybe there is some grace there but it was bad.The baked beans are vegan and I didn't enjoy them. But they were made well. They just didn't seem to have a lot of flavor.The only other thing I can say is wow - this is expensive. I'm not from the area so I don't know about the economy. But one meat and one side for over $20 or just a sandwich for over $20 is over-priced. I have eaten at so many BBQ joints across the South and Midwest (if you don't believe me, look at my Yelp reviews) and there are a multitude that I can get a combo meat plate with 2 sides and a drink for under $20. Overall, go with the brisket over the pulled pork. Some of the sides such as the potato salad and Mac and cheese are great but also be prepared to put some money down for it.

Wow - really creative and intentional food here! Not to mention delicious and satisfying.We decided to try this spot on a visit to Snowqualmie per our brother & sister-in-law's recommendation. Everyone was very friendly. Very limited seating inside - this is a small restaurant! More seating outside in a covered patio area. The meat is all locally sourced. The owner spoke to us about how much he cares about finding good quality meats. He shared how they cater for events too sometimes. Highly recommend stopping here!

We were in the mood for BBQ and stopped in at Buckshot Honey for lunch. I normally eat low carb, but saw the Mac and Cheese bowl on the menu and wanted to give it a try. It came topped with meat of your choice ( I had brisket), crumbled corn bread, and chips. It was delicious and hit the spot. I also ordered a 1/2 pound of meat to share and was glad I did. The meats are expertly smoked, and well seasoned. The service was fast and friendly, and I really liked the ambiance of the building, decor, and views out the window. All in all, a great spot.

ooh wee!!! The food here is hopping and will order again. The owner is friendly and the restaurant itself has a great historic vibe.There are about four tables downstairs (2-4 chairs per table), bar seating, and one upstairs with a couch and side chair. I have not had any issues getting a table, typically for a party of 2. They also have different hours so may want to check if they are open before stopping by. I could have their food every day it's that good If you're planning to visit with a larger group, I recommend calling ahead to see if they can accommodate your party. They offer both dine-in and carry-out options.

We came for brisket and they ran out.We ended up with best pullpork and ipa beer.The service was great

A friend and I stopped here looking for a quick lunch, and we were very impressed with what we got at Buckshot Honey! The brisket was flavorful and tender, its wasn't super juicy which was nice because the bread didn't get soggy. The cornbread was perfect! I've done a lot of traveling in the Southern US where cornbread is king and what was served here competes with the best of them. It wasn't brittle and had great flavor. The service was extremely quick and the staff was very friendly. The restraint is not very big in size but has a nice open feel to it with the high ceilings. The music selection was good with some classic county to match the bbq food, but it wasn't too loud so you could still have a conversation.

The food here was so good! The flavor combos in the sandwiches seemed to be thoughtfully considered to offer very tasty sandwiches. The potato salad was flavorful. Cornbread perfectly made. Both the restaurant made bbq and hot sauce were great! The owner should consider bottling and selling. Very clean and cute inside.
