Larry's Smokehouse

Not impressed,got the pulled pork sandwich,meat wasn't even smoked just tasted bland was on a warm bread roll,also bush baked beans come on man! I should have known better when I didn't see a real wood smoker out back and they got ovens like dickies! Won't return !

Heard of this place by a couple of my friends when they were in Bothell but now they moved over to Snohomish which doesn't bother me because how close I am to it! Right now they are only doing take out but there are a couple of picnic tables outside that you can sit down and enjoy the delicious bbq! I was so surprise on how affordable the food here was! Everything was a fair price and you get a lot for how much you pay! I decided to try their smoked brisket sandwich(half) and their poor boy sandwich(half) and with each half sandwich you order, you also get a small side of either potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans or mac & cheese! It might be a hard choice but their potato salad was delicious! Lastly, you get a small bag of chips too! With both of the sandwich I ordered, it was only $16 after tax and tip! So you would only pay 6 if you get half a sandwich. You can't beat that at all! And trust me you will be satisfied and filled. I defiantly will be coming back to try their other meat choice that they have! Also if you like smoked salmon, they do sell small pieces that you can buy to take home too! So make sure to come and try Larry's Smokehouse and support their small business!

Larry's Smokehouse is very misleading. Maybe there is a Larry (or there was at one point), but that is the only thing the within the name of the establishment that is correct. Walked in on a Monday afternoon and decided to lets try the smoke pork and the brisket. Got a 3/4# of each. Upon getting it home, I open the package and the pork looked decent, but lacked any color you would expect from a smoke. The brisket was resembled more of boiled roast beef slices that an college dorm cafeteria would serve. Either way, both meats lacked any sense of smoke flavor (and/or salt. At the very least, season the meat. Perhaps that is why they gave me enough BBQ sauce to drown the meat.Would I eat it again? Probably not. There is an Albertson next door and I am sure their deli has some sort of bbq in the hot case.

Sadly, another no for a BBQ joint. This place seems to engender controversy in its Yelp reviews. Some love it. Some hate it. And it seems to be largely customer service related. More on that in a minute.Larry's Smokehouse has been around awhile and has moved several times. Larry sold the business to his daughter and son-in-law and isn't involved anymore.The good? The meat (well, the brisket I tried) isn't dry at least. Some complain about the fat. That indicates a lack of much exposure to good BBQ brisket in Texas. Brisket SHOULD BE A BIT FATTY. At least Larry's got that right. And the BBQ sauce is tasty. Mac and cheese is tasty, if rather pedestrian. The beans were good.But where's the smoke? Because my brisket was like roast beef and had zero smoke flavor. And it was served drenched in BBQ sauce. Tasted okay and wasn't dry, but it wasn't BBQ. It was roast beef.The cornbread was okay, but had the texture of cornbread that's been frozen and thawed to be served. And it was very dense, but not in a good way. Just nothing to write home about.They bottle and sell that BBQ sauce, and now I wish I had looked at a jar to see what the ingredients were because...They also make and sell (and are very proud) of their smoked salmon. It's "wild Atlantic salmon from Canada." What? Umm. Okay. We live in the Pacific Northwest, with some of the world's finest wild Pacific salmon readily available. I am not going to support Atlantic salmon in WA State. So, I have no idea if this smoked salmon is any good or not.Oh, and the smoke? EVERYTHING here that is smoked is smoked with Alder wood. Wait, to be clear, it's from alder wood PELLETS. Not even whole wood. Okay, that explains the lack of smoke flavor in the brisket. Alder is great for fish. Not so much for other meats, and that shows here. And pellets are an attempt to sterilize what is the messy and exacting art of traditional wood fired BBQ. They are the lazy man's attempt at BBQ, and they fail in all but the most skilled hands. I have yet to find a BBQ restaurant that uses pellets and does a fantastic job. I have eaten with a few home chefs who manage to pull it off, but it usually requires almost as much effort in the process as just using real wood.Customer service was coldly efficient and dull, but it seemed there was a certain something brewing right below the surface the entire time I was there. It felt like the owners were tired and just going through the motions. So, I could see what some describe as horrific customer service experiences (especially with catering) happening. After dining it and experiencing the atmosphere and the food, I wouldn't want to have them cater anything.This place is a big no from me.

Best barbecue in Washington state. I've lived here 50+ years and Larry's brisket and sauce can't be beat!

Worst barbecue I've ever had. The brisket was not freshly hand carved. As another reviewer mentioned, the meat looked like boiled roast beef, not smoked brisket. The brisket was thin deli style slices slathered in a barbecue sauce instead of the sauce being on the side. The meat wasn't tender and didn't measure up to the standard for brisket to slowly separate as you gently pull on one end of the slice with no resistance. I ate one bite and tossed it. The potato salad is good but that's it.The man at the counter was very rude when I inquired about the salmon used for the smoked salmon saying "you wouldn't know the difference between species." He doesn't know me. The salmon is being smoked wrong if you can't tell a chinook from a sockeye from a coho. All you're tasting is smoke then. Why would you use Atlantic salmon when you're in the Pacific Northwest?I regret buying food after this exchange. This was my first time and will be my last time at your establishment.

Stopped in here today when searching for smoked salmon to give as a gift. When I called they were super helpful in giving me the information I needed and that convinced me to brave black Friday and drive up to secure the salmon goods.It's to the right of the Safeway and I missed it the first time I drove by, just a small shop with a smoke house sign up top. I was greeted by a nice guy at the register casually watching the game and he helped me get the salmon I came for as well as a few other smoked goods including homemade jerky and sticks. While I wasn't planning on eating, finding out that their bbq was all gluten free made my stomach suddenly weak with hunger. The guy helping me knew all about gf and assured me I could have the pulled pork bowl. It was ready in a jiffy and I headed home with my unexpected lunch.The portion was just perfect for me and came with a bag of chips, bbq pork with coleslaw on top and beans underneath. Very satisfying. He said they do ribs Friday so I'll be coming back and bringing the husband who always has a hankering for ribs.

Best BBQ sandwich in the world! I have been here many times and the quality and taste is always the same; delicious! I highly recommend!

Larry's catered for our wedding last weekend and we couldn't be happier! The food was amazing with tons of options and all of our guests could not stop talking about it!

This food is made for an retirement community everything was bland and had no real flavor and I don't think anything was even smoked except the salmon, which had no real flavor. Straight junk.
