Went on a chilly Thursday afternoon and it was nice and quiet, which made for a great meal. I ordered the Val Kilmer platter, and honestly, this place blew me away. For the last ten years, I feel like I've been disappointed by barbecue restaurants when it comes to either price, portion size, or both. That definitely was not the case here. The food was incredible, the portion felt substantial, and for once I left feeling like I got a plate that was actually heavy without my wallet feeling light. The sauce was outstanding. The tri-tip was excellent, the ribs were excellent, and the pork was good. The real surprise might have been the baked beans, which were easily the best I've ever had. The mac and cheese was good too. Really impressive barbecue, great value, and absolutely a must-visit. read more

This was hands down the best bbq I've ever gotten in my life. I'm pregnant and made my man drive 40 mins for this place because the reviews were so good. Thank god I did. I got the pulled pork sandwich with Mac & cheese. It was $12 and I expected to not get so much food because that's how bbq places usually are but when I opened it up- the sandwich was huge and they gave me a ton of Mac & cheese. The service was really quick and the person who gave us the order was really nice and had great customer service. The outside was small but clean and gave the bbq vibe. I could not recommend this place more and wish I took a picture of it but it was devoured in seconds. read more

I have yet to eat here but the sauce I so amazing, I made 3.5 hour drive just to get the sauce. Next time I will try the food

Food is great! Maybe the best BBQ in the area. We had them cater our event and they did a very professional job. On time, set up, and delicious! read more

I ordered the Val Kilmer platter, and it did not disappoint. The serving size was more than enough, I couldn't finish it all. The bbq sauce was amazing and each bite was packed full of flavor. This food truck is a must try if you're in the area. I'll for sure be back! read more

Hands down, this is the best BBQ in Coeur d'Alene! We always order the Val Kilmer platter, a subtle nod to the movie Tombstone. "I'm your huckleberry". it comes with sliced tri-tip, pulled pork, couple of ribs, and sides of mac and cheese and baked beans. Everything is incredible. I love their bbq sauce, just the right amount of spice. The owner is great! Gotten to know him a little bit over the years. Oh, and on Fridays? ask about the armadillo eggs; smoked stuffed jalapeños! You won't be disappointed eating here. read more

I read somewhere that tri-tip is the "brisket of the west." Well, Barbecue Boys represents tri-tip well with their food truck. They're a little tucked away from traffic flow, but worth finding. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich - being from S Texas, I don't think I'd ever had that cut before. I also ordered the "small" mac & cheese side. The plate came just a few minutes later and it was HEAVY ... I was optimistic. Later, opening the carton ... WOW! This is a great amount of food for a decent price! I'm so glad I did "small" on that mac & cheese. It was very cheesy and had good flavor. The sandwich was like a hoagie STUFFED with thin slices of beef swimming in barbecue sauce. This, I feel, was good and not-so-good. The meat was tender and moist. The sauce was sweet and spicy. But, there's so much of the sauce, it literally drowns the flavor of the beef. And, here's the real "tip" - ditch that hoagie bun and just enjoy the beef. The bun was tough and got soggy; like it was microwaved warm instead of grilled/toasted. The guys running the food truck are friendly and efficient. Prices are good and, again, portions are plentiful. I'll be looking forward to trying more of their menu. read more

I'm not quite sure how they stay in business with the quality they serve at the prices they are charging. This place has the best value in BBQ I've ever seen. The tri-tip sandwich is huge and packed with meat. At $9, it's a steal. For another $4, you can get two sides and a drink. It's unreasonably inexpensive. Just for the value, this place is worth a visit. And the food is great, on top of the great price. The tri tip isn't over-seasoned. The sauce is deliciously sweet and savory with a gentle spicy kick. The mac & cheese side had firm pasta and creamy sauce. The baked beans side was sweet and spicy with chunks of meat. Again, how are they making money? There is some open seating in the middle of the food truck park. From there, you can watch the employees chop wood and smoke the meats behind shop. It's not the Four Seasons, but it's honest food done right. 100% recommend. read more

We stopped through on our travels on a whim. We're from Missouri, with BBQ as a staple food group. The food was GREAT!! You can tell the owner takes a lot of pride in what he does because it shows through in the food and conversation. I would eat there all the time if I lived in their area! read more

"Pound of flesh" burger is amazing!!! I asked to have it cut in half to share and was told that they wouldn't recommend it because it just fall apart. That's what forks and knives are for! Best $11 spent on Best Ave! read more

Barbecue Boys - Pound of flesh burger cut in half to share. Delicious!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

This place is delicious and the cook was really helpful with helping me pick something that was gluten-free, if anyone in the future is wondering - the brisket, beans, and coleslaw are gluten-free. He suggested I order the brisket sandwich without the bread, and I was very happy with what I got for the price. Most of my family is in Missouri and Kansas, so we frequent lots of southern barbecue restaurants that are famous... this satisfied my barbecue craving just as good. Thanks for the help! read more

More of a lunch time spot but the food is soooo good. Everything here is delicious, you can't go wrong. Great food for a great price!

Pretty good food. My boyfriend and I have gotten the Valkyrie a few times and never disappoints. 2 things.... 1) the phone number listed on the building/truck (whatever it's called) which is also the same number on Facebook/google/Yelp, the number is apparently not working? I tried calling it a couple times just to make sure, and it kept saying it was no longer an available number. 2) we visited the food truck area twice this week and both days they were closed. ‍ Still pretty good food though read more

The best BBQ around is here. Hands down the best. Amazing food and owner Zach is super friendly and remembers his customers. I am all about BBQ and this place knocks it out of the park. The Triple B Backhills BBQ makes their own BBQ sauce. This sauce is the best sauce I have tasted and there are three flavors. Original, Sweet and Sassy, and Hot. My favorite is the hot. My wife thinks all of the sauces are hot, but that is normal. They all have flavor. The hot is not super hot, but there is something to it and just right. I am usually all about ribs at BBQ places, but the burgers are some of the best burgers I have ever had anywhere. My favorite burger is the POM (Piece of Meat). It is a burger patty (1/4 I would guess), tri-tip/burger patty, and pulled pork. There is a little more to it, but what more can a hungry person want. I am not a fan of pulled pork, but their pulled pork sandwich and the pulled pork in the POM is really good. The North Idaho Life burger is a patty and egg plus some other yummy stuff. This burger is a close second to the POM. So good. How can I not mention ribs? The ribs are good. Not my favorite, but up there and good. With the BBQ sauce, they are absolutely outstanding. Zach will even slice up each rib for you! The ribs do not fall off the bone, but are super tender and full of flavor. Three main sides here. The mac and cheese is amazing. Great flavor. The beans are alright as they have good flavor, but I like it thicker than the more soup like style here. Another great choice is the pineapple coleslaw. I am not big on coleslaw, neither is my wife, but this is really good. When we do sides, the mac and cheese and coleslaw are our go to. On special days there are armadillo eggs. I forgot to take a picture, but these bacon wrapped goodies are really good. This is a veteran owned business that loves military and police. Also, my German shepherd always gets a meat treat when she comes with me as Zach will feed her a piece of meat. This is her favorite food place by far too. They are also only take 5-10 minutes to get the food out to you even when busy. If you are within 5 hours of here, maybe 6, just go to The Triple B Backhills BBQ. This is some of the best BBQ you will ever eat! Go there now and support this local family business that will leave you with the vest BBQ around. read more

OMG!!! This is THE BEST BBQ in the northwest! Heck, I'd say best on the west side of the states! I graduated high school in CDA and only come back to visit once in a while. I will be visiting the Triple B EVERY time I come back for a visit! He could win the BBQ Pitmasters!!! The Food: If you want to try a little bit of everything, get -The Valkyrie Platter Tri Tip, Ribs, Pulled Pork, BBQ Baked Beans and Mac n Cheese. My mom and I split it and it was plenty for us. The Tri Tip and the Ribs were our favorite. The Tri Tip is the best I've ever had! The pulled pork is good, but the others are just OUTSTANDING! The owner is friendly and we are going to visit him again this week before our visit is over. HIGLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Tried the Morning Glory this morning. The biscuit is a good size and country gravy has a nice smoky flavor to it. Comes with country potatoes and bacon, both of which were excellent. read more

Stopped by Triple B's to grab some BBQ for dinner after reading some reviews and looking at some pictures of this food truck on Yelp. I was having a hard time deciding what to get but as I was waiting and looking at the menu I was asked if I wanted to try a sample of meat and sides to see what I'd like to get. YES PLEASE!! I was handed a small boat with a sample of pulled pork, baked beans and mac and cheese. Wow!! Was it tasty. The beans had a great flavor and was a little sweet, the mac and cheese was creamy and had a spicy kick and the pulled pork was nice and juicy. After eating my sample I decided to go with the Valkyrie Platter (a bigger sample Platter) that had mac and cheese, baked beans, pork ribs, pulled pork and sliced smoked tri tip. I also bought a bottle of their homemade sweet and sassy BBQ sauce. It didn't take long for my meal to be put together and ready for me to take home. I really enjoyed the food I bought here. The ribs were good and had a good smoky flavor. Mine did not fall off the bone like some have mentioned in other reviews but were still good none the less. The sliced tri tip was so very tender and so delicious. This Platter was reasonably priced ($14.95) for as big as it was and I was able to split it into two separate meals. I will definitely be stopping by here again to try out the many other BBQ items they have to offer. read more

SO GOOD! The service was good and the workers were nice. The food was great. Got the pulled pork sandwich and it tasted amazing and was also a good size. I also got the beans and the slaw & both were really tasty. Went with my parents and they both also really enjoyed their meals read more

Veterans get an xtra 25% off! Very much appreciate those that honor so many that serve. Pulled pork in the nachoes was quite tender and tasty. I think we may have come on an off day, as the cheese wasnt the greatest that was used on the chips. I suggest sitting down in this food truck park and eating the food asap, instead of grabbing and going-like we did. Nachoes n chili dogs can get soggy quick! I would love to try the ribs next time, as the smell from the smoker was appetizing! read more

We're RV'ing and stayed a few days in Coeur D Alene. Decided to try this place. My husband ordered the hot dog, I ordered the ribs and smoked baked potato. The food here is excellent! Ribs were super tender and perfectly seasoned. Potato was uniquely delicious! Hubby loved the hot dog. And to top it off, they gave us a discount because my husband is a veteran. Super nice guy working here. Highly recommend! read more

Everything about this place screams five stars: the service, the food, and the price. This food truck knows how to BBQ. I ordered a rack of ribs and was I pleasantly surprised! For less than $10, I was able to completely fill my tummy and have leftovers. This is saying a lot as I eat like a pig, maybe even more. After gorging on the meat, I highly recommend paying a visit to the ice cream truck to offset the sodium intake. There is ample parking around. However, the only downside to this establishment is limited seating and a suspiciously ghetto communal bathroom. read more

Fabulous barbecue indeed. I was super glad to find this gem. This place is located in a little parking lot surrounded by other food trucks. There's a shelter with tables, a communal dining space. The barbecue sauce was just right. Not too spicy, not too sweet. The pork belly sandwich was stellar, along with the pineapple coleslaw. Great food and great prices! We will definitely be back! Thanks for feeding us, guys! read more

Best BBQ in town, great people , amazing food, large portions for $$. We go here a couple times a month and end up trying different things because they are so popular they sell out (we usually show up about 630pm they close at 7pm) Mac is good beans are good. Our favorite is the Big POM (pictured) 2 1/4 # patties smoked tri Tip and pulled pork with cheese and BBQ sauce all on a bun for 10$ read more

I had the Valkyrie platter and wow! It was so great I'm from Northern Ca and this place is the best BBQ I've ever had. Well worth the stop, I bought a bottle of sauce to go also.

Have only been here once, but I fully expect to be equally as pleased on future visits. We had the tri-tip, which was absolutely delicious, as well as some sides. I enjoyed talking with the guys just as much as I enjoyed the food. What a nice bunch! This is definitely a go-to spot for bbq for me from now on. read more

Actually good BBQ! Authentic, I lived in Florida, BBQ generally sucks in Spokane and CDA. This is GOOD BBQ. If you think Longhorn is good, we can't even talk really. read more

Oh my gosh! Best BBQ EVER! I picked up a Valkyrie Platter for my papa who is a veteran on Saturday then finally went back with my husband on Wednesday and it was amazing! Their mac and cheese is so, so good. And their customer service is even better (which is saying something!) read more

It's a scientific fact that the best BBQ comes from a food truck and this place is the proof!! The Valkyrie platter give a sample of everything and underpriced at $14.95. For that you get three meats and two sides which was *almost* too much for this big eater to finish (don't worry, I did). Everything here was near perfection, exactly as I would if I ran the place! Just the right amount of smoky goodness. The sauce was rich and flavorful, not too sweet with a nice zing without being overly peppered. The pulled pork was nicely tender and not mushy. Mac & cheese was obviously house made, also spot on. Great food, great prices, great value, great people. Vet owned with vet discounts. Get here!! read more

Got the tri tip w/ bbq sauce. Perfect. Simply perfect. Will be going back frequently. In fact I'm down the street and as soon as I'm finished here I will go get the tri tip again. read more

This is definitely one of my go to spots for barbecue. There's something about the smoked meats with the sauce that just makes it so much better than some other barbecue places. The Baker Deluxe is the best thing I've had from here, it's delicious and messy (in a good way). read more

Man, there is nothing negative about this place. Customer service is fantastic, but the food? Woowee. Definitely one of the best, if not best barbecue in town. A must stop location if you're looking for barbecue. The brisket is to die for! I wish I had enough money to eat here for every meal. read more

Great food at a reasonable price. But they need to add seasoned curly onions to make it amazing!
