There isn't a big selection of bbq joints in Renton, but I've been craving it and finally had the…read moreopportunity 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.

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.

Great value (good quality and price)!

The combination platter was great, I liked the sausage (3.5/5 stars), the chicken was good (4/5 stars), the ribs were impressive (5/5 stars), and the brisket was great (5/5 stars). Unfortunately the soft serve ice cream (2/5 stars today, previously 4/5 stars) wasn't impressive today, I'm not sure if there wasn't enough vanilla or if there wasn't enough dairy but it has a water crystal flavored like there were teeny flakes of ice cubes inside the soft serve??

This gnawed on me all day today. So, we (my Wife & I) ordered take out from BBQ Pete's here in Kent. We ordered up a full slab, beans, coleslaw, cornbread, a sandwich with no name - Oh! It was painful to even think about what was coming to my mouth! $106 later, we're in the car headed downtown. We picked up that sack of smell-so-goodness, jumped back in the car for home. Had to wait for two trains to pass, of course. We get back to the Rancho and tear open that sack. Theeere it was. Smellin' like a smoker in Heaven! The actual eatin' was a little off expectations. The full slab was nowhere near the size of the old Famous Dave's or the older Tony Roma's; but serviceable. The cornbread was good, but Yankified - they sugar it, but not bad at all. I'll have to digest if it was worth the $106 for two, but BBQ Pete's slaked my thirst for BBQ for awhile. It's not Texas, Kansas City, St. Lois, Nashville, Mobile, or even Miami, certainly not Cherry Branch or anywhere in Virginia - but we're waaaay up here, nowhere near down there. So, my BBQ tooth is soothed, for now...

Been waiting to give them a try and had an appointment in tukwila so I stopped in for lunch. This…read moreis a no frills, southern home cooked food spot with rotating specials. I stopped in about 30 mins after they opened on a friday and they had a lunch rush, everything is cooked to order so be prepared to wait at least 20mins. I ordered the 6oz catfish and chips which came with 3 catfish strips, fries, 1 hush puppy, chips and a drink ($16.99) I also got a side of mac&cheese. The positives: staff was kind, pastor at the counter would make jokes with customers and you could tell they had regulars during lunch time. Fries were well seasoned, hush puppy was good and Mac was acceptable. My only issue with the catfish was that it was overcooked and became a bit chewy (see photo). Sitting in there it seems like the wings were a customer favorite so I would love to go back and try their wings and other sides. Since my order took longer (there was a large order right before mines) the pastor at the counter thanked me for my patience and threw in a dessert.

The place is quaint and the people are friendly. And the food here delivers in every possible way. If you appreciate Soul Food and/or Southern Food then this is the place for you. The cabbage here was everything I could ever ask for. I wanted more when I was done. The Mac & cheese didn't look like much to me but man did it serve on tastes. It was cheesy, seasoned and cooked just right. The fried chicken was cooked fresh and seasoned to perfection. My breast was still juicy and piping hot. Call ahead for to go orders or you'll spend your time waiting for the chicken to be fried. The peach cobbler here is not my preferred way to have as I like a pie crust with mine but oh my goodness, I took one bite and couldn't stop savoring this dessert. Do yourself and get you some. Open Fridays & Saturdays, and the menu slightly rotates weekly so check their website ( southerngrill1.com ) to check menu and confirm hours. This place is everything and more that I could ever ask for when it comes to good ole soul food.

It's family-owned and operated, and you can truly feel that sense of legacy and love the moment you walk in. The food is absolutely amazing. My husband and I were visiting Washington for the weekend and ended up eating here twice--that's how good it is. The first time, we had the catfish nuggets, fried shrimp, and fried pork chops with collard greens, mac & cheese, and candied yams. Every single bite was on point. The second time, we made it just in time for the oxtail stew--and it was fire. You can genuinely taste the soul in the food. This place is something special. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

There appeared to be kiosks for ordering (I had ordered online earlier) and ample seating for dining in or waiting.
