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.
