There isn't a big selection of bbq joints in Renton, but I've been craving it and finally had the opportunity to try this place. Recommended by a dear friend of mine, I thought of just driving past Lowe's at the landing if they were there. It was simply meant to be. I got there early and there was only one person waiting. Charles was friendly and personable and was willing to sell some meat to me but I wanted the Mac and Cheese so I waited a bit longer for it to arrive. I ordered the following: Slab of baby back ribs: moist and tasty when dipped in the Carolina gold sauce. Turkey leg: delicious, moist and tender. Nothing like a dry turkey leg from the fair. I liked this more than the ribs. Prime rib/oxtail hot link: tender with a little heat. It was really good and would order more than one link next time. Potato salad: strong in mustard but good eaten with any of the meat. Mac and Cheese: it was ok Collard greens: this was good a bit on the salty side Banana pudding: in a cute mason jar. Tasty when cold, it had a good amount of wafers in it, wish there was more banana slices. Overall everything was delicious and filled me up. This will feed me for several days. Support the mom and pop shop and get you some BBQ. read more

I've been watching this man's business grow over the years. He is truly inspiring, and has given back to the community ten-folds. Definitely rare to see these days, so I continue to support his business when I can. His food is fireeee. The beef ribs doesn't look like it came from a cow but more like a dinosaur. I guess he doesn't call it dino bone for no reasons. Don't be scared by the price, it is worth every bite and he's definitely generous with his portions. You'll have to follow his FB to know where he'll be, he is known to travel far for the deep southsiders but will drop by Renton if there's extra to be spared. He's definitely a perk where I feel proud to be living in Renton. :-) The lines may look long but it's worth the wait. What are you waiting for? Go try it out. read more

C. Davis had a pop-up nearby so I decided to check them out. The smoked meats are legit! Baby Back Ribs were fall off the bone tender. Brisket over Mac & cheese was good, and the smoked turkey leg was on point! The turkey leg tastes more like a smoked ham in a good way. I wish they offered sliced brisket on their menu, hopefully that will come sometime soon. This food truck gets busy so get there early of you want a decent selection. The reason this wasn't a 5 star experience for me was because I didn't completely vibe with their BBQ sauce. Tasted almost like a honey mustard sauce. Unfortunately it was doused all over the brisket and mac & cheese so I couldn't take it off. Bottom line is that the meat was tender and tasty, so definitely worth a try! I just prefer a different type of BBQ sauce. read more

I went to Lowe's in Renton to return some things when I saw a long lineup of people waiting for C. Davis Texas BBQ in the parking lot. It's July 4th and not having to cook today sounded swell so I decided to hop in line to see what all the hype was about. Both the couple in line before me and behind me put me onto the amazingness that is at the end of what turned out to be an hour and half line wait. As we got closer, we realized the need to keep our fingers crossed that what we want to order doesn't sell out. Red beans and rice, the collard greens with smoked turkey, banana pudding, potato salad sold out and the Mac n cheese sold out literally 5 people ahead of me. I've never waited this long for exclusive Nike's but my first bite of the pecan wood smoked baby back ribs with the home made honey pecan bbq sauce was life changing!! BBQ so good you finna slap yo mama!! read more

Food was not good. For over $200 the Beef ribs were very dry on 1 slab & all fat on the other. No flavor at all! I did buy it around 3-4pm on a Sunday. Maybe that's too late? Besides the food the svc was terrible! I sent them a private msg just to let them know about my experience. I was NEVER disrespectful at all! Like I told them "Sh*t Happens"! Instead of just saying "My Bad", or "Sorry", they blocked me on Facebook. I never wanted anything for free! All I asked was to check the food before serving it. People can't afford to waste that kind of money. For someone that prides himself on "Great" customer svc. that was a childish move! read more

Got to love a food business that is passionate about their craft - C. Davis Texas BBQ did an event at our company! They set up a stand outside our building. The owner himself was handing out plates to us - the food was very stick-to-your-ribs! We were treated to generous portions of either succulent brisket or tender pulled pork, both of which were piled high atop a mountain of crispy waffle fries. The fries were perfectly cooked, providing a delightful crunch that complemented the meat beautifully. Each plate was drizzled with a rich sweet BBQ sauce that enhanced the flavors, and the seasoning dusted on top added an extra layer of taste. Happy taste buds for sure. Employees were also so welcoming and friendly :) read more

Was buying some mulch from Lowe's and saw the big ole Texas bbq sign, and as a native Houstonian, I knew I had to stop by. My gf and I were greeted with the warmest smiles by everyone on the crew when we walked up. I was worried there wouldn't be any brisket left at 5:30pm but thankfully we were able to pick up 4lbs, mac, and waffle fries. After some friendly chatter and receiving 4 extra heaping cups of Carolina bbq sauce, we left for home. Halfway there, we realized we forgot to grab the mac so we headed back. Once we got there, we informed them of what happened and they actually handed us an extra mac! The brisket is melt in your mouth, the waffles and big, plentiful, and crispy, and the mac was to die for. This is the place to be if you NEED to satisfy your Texas bbq craving. read more

C. Davis Texas BBQ - Menu 2025, big portions! Delicious grub - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We have been wanting to try this for a long time! We ordered a slab of ribs, 3 Big Ass Brisket over waffle fries, and 1 Big Ass Pulled Pork over waffle fries. They were kind and jovial while serving and happy to support a local sports team for their fundraiser! The aroma of meat and fries on the drive home was delightful! All of the meat was fall off bone/fork tender and very tasty. I chose no added seasoning and sauce on the side while everyone else chose to include it with their meal. Everyone was happy with their lunch choice and the serving size was quite large and we have leftovers to devour another day. We definitely will be ordering from there again. If you see this truck be sure to stop and grab some delicious food and support a local business!!! read more

I wanted to love this BBQ after it aired on Evening Magazine. We ordered tri tip, baby back ribs, brisket, Mac and cheese,and banana pudding. The Mac was dry, and we felt as if had been baked and then reheated. Next, the brisket. It was very chewy and dry as well. The tri tip was very tough and chewy. We did love the baby back ribs, and didn't mind the sauce that accompanied the meat. The banana pudding was very good, and the best part of the meal. Perhaps this was an off day for them, and if they're in my area again, we will most likely give them another try. read more

Tried this food truck by chance while shopping around southcenter. It was fantastic! It was around 12:30pm on a Saturday and he was almost out for the day. The hubby & me got the 1lb pulled brisket but ended up with 3lbs, as he was very generous with the servings and we were not disappointed. The gold bbq sauce was delicious with just enough bite & sweetness for this girls original Midwest pallet. If you see this big green meat smokin trailer, stop & get some. You won't be disappointed read more

This was okay. It wouldn't be if it was in Texas, North Carolina, Missouri, or Tennessee. Those who say, "Best BBQ AROUND" are correct. For Seattle, it's top five, anyway. For those who aren't picky or haven't tasted real East/Midwest BBQ, it'll do. read more

The food truck was recently in our neighborhood and as a bbq snob from Austin, we had to check it out. The wait went by really quickly and we were able to get our food fast. You could only purchase by the pound so no half pounds or half rack of ribs. We got a pound of brisket with sauce on the side and the pulled pork/fries basket. The brisket was shredded (and not sliced!!) and it was just meh. It was smoky but that's about it. The bbq sauce we got on the side and I was glad. It was more mustardy and was missing the typical Texas-style bbq taste. I pulled my Rudy's sauce out of the fridge to use instead. The pulled pork with fries basket had the bbq sauce on it. The pulled pork was yummy and I liked the flavor. The fries were ok but we're definitely soggy. There were no options to order sides from the truck. We decided we'd try the ribs another time and have our own sides at home. read more

Texas BBQ done right! Mr. Davis is a class act and his BBQ is hands down the best smoked meat around! You can't go wrong with anything on his menu, which varies according to market prices and customer trends. If you see the Seahawks BBQ smoker food truck, do yourself a favor; stop by for some A+ BBQ. read more

C. Davis BBQ's food truck was near our neighborhood and they sold out within 30 minutes of them opening. They were scheduled to come back, and this time I was ready and went about an hour early! I really do like supporting small businesses and I feel apprehensive in writing this review due to that very matter and that we are going through very unprecedented times. First off, the staff all wore masks and gloves and they change gloves often. The price was average to other BBQ places that I have been to. Due to the hype, we ordered a pound of brisket, 3 hot links, and coleslaw. Please note that they do not do half pounds - it is very much all or nothing. So you may be eating BBQ for a few days unless you have more people in your household as it is quite a bit of food/good portion Besides the hot links, everything was only meh.... Sure it was smoky, but that is about where it ends. There was no flavor and the BBQ sauce that they gave was Cattleman's. I was really excited about the brisket, because who doesn't like brisket when you mention BBQ?! When I got back home, I thought I got the wrong order because it wasn't in slices! I have personally NEVER seen chopped brisket nor do I, in my opinion, believe that brisket should ever be enjoyed chopped! There was no flavor, no season - just some smoke. Coleslaw for a tiny little cup for $3 and even that was too sweet. Overall, I love that they get a lot of support and that they are willing to come out and have everyone enjoy BBQ, but unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

Found the food trailer by Hazen HS in Renton Highland. I can smell their smoking meat from far. There was a short line at the time but it moved quickly, which I like. They accept both cash and credit card. The 4 stars are for this hot links only. The links were spicy enough that I need to eat them with icy soda but I like it. Tried their waffle fries, but since they are not freshly fried to order, kinda soggy for my taste but my kiddos love them. I did not try their ribs this time. They are only sold by a full rack but it's too much for my family. The rack is selling at $30/rack. From a distance, they smell great though. read more

C. Davis BBQ is the best BBQ I've found in Washington. The Brisket on Waffle Fries is the bomb and the serving sizes are very large. One order is easily 2 portions. He quite often features other small business on his truck and is always helping the community. Sign up to follow him on Facebook to get news of truck locations and put it on your calendar. You don't want to miss it and it's totally worth the drive. Get there early because he sells out regularly. He also draws the best crowd of people and I always meet some nice folks in line. His line moves quickly and he usually has music playing. read more

Happen to come across this food truck today and I was so excited!! This is some out of this world, bombass BBQ! Seriously finger licking good. I got the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs... wayyy more than I could eat and I don't regret it one bit! The portions were very generous. The Cajun Fries were perfect, crisp and fresh! Meat fell off the bones. 22 hours smoked. Soooo juicy and delicious. Just when I was craving bbq the most, this really hits the spot!!! Sincerely the nicest friendliest and most hard working and honest people I've ever met. They said best way to see where they're at is to follow their Facebook page: facebook.com/C.DavisTexasBarbeque/ Love you guys!! read more

Holy cow five five five stars!!!!! To the people not giving this place 5 stars.. what bbq you eatin at?! Seriously. I am a carnivore, pretty much allergic to salads, and I've been on the hunt for some good bbq in Seattle, which is definitely not known as a bbq region. I've had bbq from la to Texas to Tulsa and C Davis bbq is RIGHT UP there with one of the best I've had. We're in north Seattle so we were pretty excited to hear that this food truck was gonna be around shoreline this weekend. We got the full rack of ribs and half pound of pulled port and brisket each. The pulled pork and brisket were insane.... juicy and moist but somehow none of that gloopy fat chunks you get in pulled meat. The ribs.... oh man the ribs... perfect. Charred, not burnt on the outside. Meat so tender it literally crumbles. I tried to use a nice to cut 3 ribs for my plate but my tongs just pulled the meat off. The rib bones literally slip right out. Honesty, best ribs I've ever had. The best. Their bbq sauce is always surprisingly amazing. It's a mustardy bbq, more yellow brown than dark brown. I'm not a fan of mustard at all but this bbq sauce ties everything together perfectly. Guys. Seriously. Gitit. read more

Amazing brisket, possibly the best in Seattle. Friendly service. Perfect food truck experience.

Just a heads up to everyone, he no longer sets up shop on rainier ave and usually sells BBQ in Tukwila. See his facebook feed to get an update in real time on his location: https://www.facebook.com/C.DavisTexasBarbeque/ His ribs and brisket are to die for. I usually buy WAY more meat than I need because everything looks and tastes so DANG GOOD! His cornbread is spectacular as well. The ribs are melt in your mouth - no seriously when you try to pick one up it falls apart. I am pretty sure the C in C davis stands for Charles, and he is such a kind man! He always is down to engage in conversation and is genuinely a gentle soul. I really enjoyed stopping by and chatting as he prepped my meals. I miss him out in S. Seattle, and wish him the best in his new location. I am pretty sure he told me that he is looking at opening a brick and mortar location soon - and I am very excited for him. The food is outstanding and with his positive attitude, I know he will have a successful restaurant. Mr Davis, if you pay me in bbq I would gladly work at your restaurant! Message me! :) read more
