Jones Barbeque

Tangy sauce adorns pork, beef, chicken and even house-made hotlinks at this Seattle barbecue shrine.

Cool things off with a slice of sweet potato pie or refreshing lemon cake.

The sauce comes in three choices: mild, mixed (medium) and hot. Word to the wise: When they say hot, they mean it.

“All the world is love” for ribs and brisket fans smitten by the “old-fashioned barbecue” on the “sweet side” that’s served at this smoky trio; “decor? – not really”, but the “well-priced” fare comes in “large portions” and is deemed “worth the week’s intake of cholesterol and salt.”

One of three Jones Barbeque joints in Seattle, this popular SODO location offers the well-known slow-cooked brisket, slabs of pork ribs and hearty sandwiches slathered in a smoky tomato-based sauce. Authentic Southern-style side dishes include tasty collard greens with hunks of salty pork and a peppery broth, big chunks of moist cornbread, and seriously good potato salad. Home-baked desserts...

In Short
Grandmas, baseball fans, hep cats and the occasional guy in Tevas line up to wait for Styrofoam containers full of brisket and potato salad inside this beloved barbeque shack....
