Smokeys on Pearl Street - Ellensburg (WA)

2 /5 Kailey Chan: Extremely disappointed, shockingly little food on the shareable plus extra side that we had to go out to dinner again. Each meat was dry and hard. The only redeemable quality was the service which provided us some extra chicken after we informed them of a too pink a chicken piece. So drastically different from how good it was last time. Went from one of my favorite bbq places in WA to would actively dissuade others from going.

5 /5 Kay - Happy Trails Hiking: Came at lunch on a Saturday in the Fall. It was our first visit. BBQ is all made on site. We were welcomed quickly and warmly. We had a Chicken Sandwich plate and a rib plate. After we had ordered, we noticed the PIE. Pecan for the win!! We highly recommend that you stop into Smokey’s when you are in Ellensburg.

5 /5 Doug Redman: Great bbq restaurant off the historic square. The people were very engaging, and the food was great. We came on a Friday, but will return for $3.00 margaritas & tacos on Tuesdays.

5 /5 Roger Terry: On our way West on Hgwy 90 to Seattle we got hungry and thought wed see what was in the college (CWU) town of Ellensburg. Having never been there before and only having heard of the annual rodeo, we were plesantly surprised coming upon SMOKEYS BBQ. This restaurant has excellent BBQ and an owner who has won numerous awards for the BBQ Sauces. With an extensive menu it was hard to decide what to choose. We decided on the Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich and the Smoked Beef Brisquet. Both were excellent: tender, moist, smokey. All sandwich orders come with a side. We went for the BBQ beans and cole slaw. Both excellent. You order from the counter, from an expansive Southern-themed menu: Ribs, Beef and Pork sandwiches, fried Okra, hand-cut fries, chicken, and much more. Display case with good looking pies and cakes. Service was friendly and helpful. You can eat-in, eat-out or pick-up. After eating, suggest going across street to the Rodeo Museum.

2 /5 Skyy Alexander: First time here. Came during a weekend lunch hour. Ordered pulled pork sandwich, hotlink and brisket sandwich, macaroni and cheese and a side of coleslaw and a couple of beers. The only decent one was the pulled pork sandwich. The brisket was dry and hard. The hot link was inedible on the sandwich, it had to be removed and cut with a knife as the casing was so tough and leathery. The macaroni and cheese was virtually flavorless and had this strange, almost curdled and lumpy texture. The coleslaw was also without flavor, just essentially watery cabbage. The atmosphere would have been great too, but an employee was loudly talking to the other employees about unprofessional and inappropriate things, including complaining to customers about how she felt other employees were stealing from the tip jar. Maybe it was an off day for them. They seem to have great reviews. I really wanted to enjoy this place, but I just felt like for the price you pay (about $80 for our lunch for 2) I didnt receive the quality of food or service I expected.
