Reviews for Moose Creek Barbeque in Arlington, WA
All of their food is amazing! Brisket melts in your mouth, pulled pork is like butter and the chicken is so moist your mouth... will need a life jacket. Don?t even get me started on the sides: they?ll stick to your rips - but nothing beats the BBQ Sunday.This thing has a base of mashed potatoes, some coleslaw, baked beans, and brisket. You know how the last couple bites of goodbbq are a hodge lodge of all the leftover bits of the plate, and it?s amazing? Yeah, that?s the BBQ Sunday. Okay I?m going togo back to eating now. Read more
We were in the area and wanted a snack. SO looked this place up. We agreed that it looked pretty promising. And it was... indeed! We ordered the Sample Three Meat Dinner with pulled pork, ribs and brisket. It came with two sides so we picked thechicken corn chowder and potato salad. To say everything tasted amazing was an understatement. Man that was so good that weactually ordered a quart size chicken corn chowder home with our well stuffed bellies. Moose Creek offers a super hot sauce anda mild one. Both are amazing. The super hot one is super hot but still enjoyable. They also have a very intriguing selections ofbeverages that couldn?t be turned down... We ended up with the sweet tea and the watermelon lemonade. Fantastic drinks! The kindstaff also asked if we wanted refills. Why sugar is a carb?. Overall, the food, drinks and sauces were all so yummy. Portionswere prefect and price was very reasonable. I especially like that they offered sample dinners with 2 to 4 different kinds ofmeat. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Great dining experience! Read more

Decided to stop at this spot when I was driving through the area. Should preface the review that I used to live in Texas and... have been to the majority of Texas Monthly,s top 50. I also typically don't send things back. Meat Ribs and brisket were bothon the dry side and lacked smoked flavor. Dryness could be due to coming near the end of the day (~5pm). Would definitely try toup the smoke level if at all possible (even though using natural gas smokers from the looks of it and probably remove themembrane from the back of the ribs (I know this can be debated). Also work on the dryness of both meats (might just mean workingon how you keep them in the warmer) 5/10. Sides Normally I'm not much of a side person but cornbread, potato salad, and beanswere all homemade and had excellent flavor. 9.5/10 Sauce Good flavor but please remove the liquid smoke (I want to have thesmoky flavor in the meat not sauce) from the mild and hot. Doesn't need it and flavor wise would be so much better without it.5/10 but goes to a 9 if you remove the unnecessary liquid smoke. Experience (people, etc) Incredibly nice and friendly people.Couldn't ask for a better experience in this respect. Restaurant was nice and super clean. 10/10 Overall, meats weren't greatto be honest but based on everything else I would likely go back in the future earlier in the day. Fact that everything ishomemade is a huge plus as not all the spots (non-chain) in the PNW can say that. Read more
The food is definitely southern style down to the barbecue sauce. The meat is always tender and juicy. We got the lunch special... prime rib sub with Au Jus dipping soup. You have a choice of one side dish from coleslaw, ranch beans,Texas style beans, cornbread. They provide our table with hot barbecue sauce and regular barbecue sauce in a squeeze bottle. What makes thisestablishment one of a kind is that they smoke their meats in house. They have two southern styled smokers out in the diningroom. The atmosphere was definitely ranch style comfort, food was incredibly filling. For two people your going to spend around$35-40. Worth the price if you ask me. The table and chairs were clean. The bathroom was clean. The staff was super friendly andhelpful. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody who loves smoked barbecue food because it?s fresh, hot and keeps you fullfor hours. Everyone I seen inside was happy to be here. Read more
My first BBQ in washington coming from Texas...the land of the world's greatest BBQ. This gets 5 stars on Washington's standards... but it would be a 4 in Texas. They don't serve Mac n cheese... so that's new.. a bbq place with no mac and cheese. BUT the sideswe did have were good. My wife loved the potato salad and even ordered more to go. Corn bread was also super yummy. Meat was allcooked to perfection.. will be back again! Edit: came back yesterday (15 may) because my wife wanted potato salad. The food wasamazing. We love this place. We snacked on the half order brisket dinner. So so good. Read more
