Reviews for Stan's Bar-B-Q in Issaquah, WA
Disappointing. We walked in on a whim from a delicious smell as we passed by outside. I have no idea what we smelled that was so... good. We ordered burnt ends and smoked meatballs. Of course they were really barbecued, but on flavor alone, I honestly couldn'ttell if they had any contact with barbecue smoke. No smoky flavor at all. Very heavy on the sweet barbecue sauce. Sides weresmall and bland. Service wasn't particularly good either. I really like to try and see the best in the places I visit, but theonly appeal that I could find here is maybe it's a nice bar to watch sports with some friends. They also charge extra for creditcard usage. They call this out, so it's not a surprise, but wanted to give a heads up in the review. Read more
Our server was very friendly and provided excellent service and this is why I’m giving four stars instead of two or... three. However the beef brisket there was a big chunk that was just fat and undesirable to eat. For the price you pay which isquite expensive and to be getting a big chunk of fat (a quarter of the brisket served was this) that is inedible, feels a bitlike a waste of money. Smoked wings had a great smoky flavor, but a little dry. Definitely take advantage of the sauce that youchoose and dip those wings! Read more
Stan's recently changed owners as the previous folks retired. But I can attest that it's as tasty as ever! The beef brisket is... heavenly. The sauces complement any protein you get. They're still a KC Chiefs place which gives it character in Seahawksterritory. Prices have gone up, but it's in line with everywhere else. Read more
Delicious and so much food for the price!! Try both bbq sauces!
I really enjoyed the feint sight and smell of wonderful real wood hickory hanging in the air as we walked in. The atmosphere is... down to earth, staff were very friendly in a "you're family" warm kind of way, and I was impressed by the bar collection but wasunable to try a drink due to working/lunch break. As for the food, everything was fantastic, one of the more proper BBQWashington has to offer, great smoke flavor, texture, juiciness, even salt level was on point, also worth noting that they havesome of the best baked beans I've ever had. loadedwith pork and spices,they're next level. The only reason I give 4 stars isbecause they are very pricey for the quantity. Is stans awesome? Yes. 100%. are they $31 per lunch awesome? No.... I'd happilypay $18-20 in this area for the quality and quantity once in a while but not on the regular. Otherwise I have only good thingsto say about the place. Read more
Ordered a pound of Lean brisket to go, it came with 2 tiny cups of sides, potatoe salad and baked beans, both tasted delicious... but wish portion was a bit more generous. The brisket unfortunately was very fatty ( at least 3 huge chunks of fat I removedweighing few ounces) must've been a mistake at filling the order because I've had their lean brisket before and it wasoutstanding ????. This portion still taste good but obviously lots of waste and grease In need of removing. At $30 a pound a fewounces waste is noticeable. Still my favorite BBQ joint around Issaquah for taste and quality, but will be sure to check theorder next time before walking out. Read more
The atmosphere was very good, pub setting with several televisions. The prices were very high, but I am comparing the bbq prices... to Texas. Ordered the brisket sandwhich. It came with 1 side and I got the potato salad. The potato salad had the look and tasteyou would get from a grocery store (not homemade). The brisket was very bland and no smoke ring. It was also cut lengthwise andnot against the grain. Will not return. Iced Tea almost 5 dollars Read more
Stan's BBQ catered our wedding this past weekend. It was absolutely the best. Very affordable, Jerred was easy to work with... prior to the event and during the event, and there was tons of food. I highly recommend their catering service and were sothankful they were available. Excellent experience all the way around. Read more
