Smoke on the Water BBQ

This BBQ place is awesome and we'll definitely be back! We had the Cuban sandwich, baked potato, and side of pulled pork with BBQ sauce. All of it was perfect! Went really well with a wine tasting next door on the patio at Navarre Coulee Vineyards tasting room.

Such a great local place! We were going to go up the road for bbq but were keyed into this gem instead. And thank goodness we were; Smoke on the Water is definitely the best place in town! Best pulled pork I’ve had in Washington, and the chicken was really tender and well-flavored. The potato salad was a tad mustard-y for my taste (but my boyfriend loves it), and the beans and cornbread were both delicious. The owners were also the nicest people every—even threw in dessert and tea on the house! We will certainly be back :)

BBQ chicken that falls off the bone, brisket cooked to perfection, pulled pork whose memory is still making my mouth water a week later... This is what you can expect from this place. However, it's tricky to get a meal here for dinner; we made 3 attempts. They were always closed early due to running out of meat. After asking the right questions, I found out the secret that the locals use... Call them up between 2-4pm to place your order and pick up no later than 5:45pm. A bit too early for dinner in our house, but for this BBQ, it's worth it.

A few other random notes: fantastic moist cornbread. Their baked beans were sweet and almost perfect (maybe needs more bacon?). Their cole slaw was very dry, no liquid in the cup.

They only do call in.
Brisket was mostly fat. Pulled pork sandwich was good though, so was the Cuban.
Great tasting cornbread.

I ordered the smoked chicken plate. My expectations were modest given the price and the store front. The chicken was tender and moist. The barbeque sauce had just the right amount of tang. The beans side was more than ample and rather than the gelatinous sweet sludge from many places, it was lighter, tangier and the individual beans stood out. Both the coleslaw and the cornbread were tasty, tangy and light also. I must have benefited from being the last customer of the night because the quantity of chicken was enough for dinner and tomorrow's lunch. I am going back for sure!
