Anyone who has ever sad you can't find good bbq in Seattle has maybe been here. Low quality ribs that may have been smoked, but not brought up to the stall, or at least not held there long enough, and drowned in bbq sauce that at least wasn't sugary catsup. The tiny side of potato salad was fine. Nice that they use some compostable containers. read more

If you see this food truck STOP! The brisket is melt in your mouth tender and the potato salad is really flavorful (dill pickle forward). The mac & cheese is super tasty, the 3 year old loved it and so did the adults. read more

I found HP's Smokehouse BBQ food truck at Juanita Beach Park, and the food smelled delicious. Therefore, my boyfriend and I decided to try it for lunch and it wasn't too shabby. The BBQ was fine, yet it needs some tweaking. We ordered the ribs, cornbread, pulled pork sandwich and the sweet potatoes. Of all the food we ordered I liked the ribs the best. The meat was perfectly smoked and tender, so it's a shame that it's slathered in so much BBQ sauce. I'm a believer that if BBQ is good, then you don't need sauce to jazz it up, especially when it's slathered on. It only distracts from the true beauty of this dish, the meat. Such was the case with the pulled pork sandwich. Pork wasn't bad, but it had way too much BBQ sauce on the meat. Cornbread was sweet, and tasted like dessert. I'm allergic to cinnamon, so couldn't have the sweet potatoes. But my boyfriend said that it was definitely on the sweeter side since it was loaded with cinnamon. The food just seemed to have so much unnecessary sauce and/or seasoning on it, which took away from how good the dishes really were. It's nice to have this truck at Juanita Beach Park, an area you can spend all day in, so getting a meal here is convenient. But, I think the food would be even better without all the additional toppings and such. read more

I was drawn in at the end of a long day by some enthusiastic sign twirling and I'm so glad that drew me in. The owner, who's name I totally, regrettably, forgot to get, was super friendly, honest and exactly the type of person you'd want to be serving BBQ. I ordered a pulled pork, hot chick, spicy link and mac & cheese and it was allllll delicious. Typically I'm not a huge fan of BBQ sauce, but this was perfectly spicy/sweet/savory and the meat was perfectly cooked. GET THE POTATO SALAD AS YOUR SIDE IF YOU LIKE POTATO SALAD. I cannot emphasize that enough. She wasn't kidding when she said "I make a pretty good potato salad". It should be offered as a main dish..... Bottom line, if you're craving BBQ and come across this truck you won't be disappointed. Extra points for the minimal, compostable packaging!! read more

Went to their food truck at a local farmer's market. I got the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad side. This is easily some of the best BBQ in Seattle. Pork was moist without being fatty, sauce has a nice smoky-sweetness to it (closest to a Kansas City style sauce in my opinion) and the amount added to the sandwich was perfect- it was enough for good flavor but not so much that it overwhelmed the pork flavor. The potato salad is very pickle-y which I liked but if pickles aren't your thing, probably best to choose another side. Portions were also perfect for the price point. Would definitely go here again. read more

17 dollars for 3 tiny slices of barely warm brisket and literally the smallest side I've ever seen. I'm not a big eater, but this was little more than a snack by anyone's standards. 17 dollars, plus tax.. Plus a charge to pay by card. Outrageous. 20 minute wait and only 3 people ahead of me. Q: "Do you have any drinks?". A: "Nope". Later see him handing someone a can of soda with their meal. My girlfriend chose an adjacent thai food van and had literally three times the quantity of food I had for much less, and although she ordered hers after me, had the order straight away.. Since seeing that they use a microwave to reheat everything, I now know there's absolutely no way this was reheated to an adequate temperature and had then come down in temperature to what I was eating. Unfriendly, slow staff who clearly did not want to be there. Really pretty surprised at the good reviews. I felt ripped off, hungry and had to go to another truck anyway to find a soda.. Avoid. read more

tried the chopped chicken and ribs, they were not that good. the chicken came in a bun. side of coleslaw was ok, but on the bland side. service was friendly and quick. food was not filling, and i went to a nearby mexican food truck, which was way better: had much more flavor and bigger portions for the same price... read more

The absolute best pulled pork and beef briskit. My family's ever eaten, sides were very good as well. Delicious corn bread, potato salad and cole slaw. We will definitely be looking for this food truck again. And the friendly service didn't hurt. read more

The HP's Smokehouse BBQ food truck was a huge hit at our company celebration! Stanley and Nicole were both wonderful and the food was juicy, delicious, and great portion size for our construction crew! I highly recommend them to spice up your next party; fun for your guests, great food, and affordable pricing! Get ALL the sides, you will not be disappointed :). read more

I loved the hotlink and pulled pork sandwich. Just the right amount of spicy and sweet. For my side, I chose the coleslaw and it was a perfect match for my sandwich! Definitely looking forward to my next meal with HP! read more

Great Barbecue especially from a Franklin High Graduate. My family and I finally got some good barbecue on the Eastside. Thank you Garfield High Graduate '85. read more

I had the brisket, with a side of slaw and an order of baked macaroni and cheese. The brisket was tender but lacking in smoke. Moist enough but was sitting in sauce. Sauce was actually ok, but meat tasted reheated for $15, Chuck. Slaw was average. Not remarkable. Baked MAC and cheese for $6.00 small container is a solid ripoff. There really isn't anything to say about overcooked pasta in congealed cheese. Well I would like to say I hope that fad dies ASAP. All in all I paid $21. I'm torn between I want my money back and 2 stars. I went with 2 stars and not looking back. I think food TV needs to get off the food truck bandwagon . read more

We tried them in Woodinville at the tasting rooms, I was very impressed with the presentation and service. We had the pulled pork and Mac and cheese, both were up to the standards of good southern BBQ which considering we're in Washington is pretty damn good. Will definitely check them out the next time we see them around. read more

Walked my dog down to Juanita Beach and bought a pulled pork sandwich with a side of potato salad. Great flavor and very tender. Very friendly people too. As someone who grills/smokes with wood and briquettes often I like to think I know good bbq when I taste it. I will eat there again for sure. read more

Get your red hot MICROWAVED barbecue here! I kid you not, he grabbed the pork out of a cooler and microwaved it, before my eyes..... and yet, i tried it again.... and again. Even his front loaded bun (looks stuffed when you get it til you eat nothing but bun on the part that's wrapped in paper. I was hard up for barbecue, chose to forgive him, and was betrayed 2 more times. I just tried his barbecue for the final time today at the car show in Kirkland. I don't get how this place has 4.5 stars. 3 times over the last year I've tried it and it's just ... bad. If I hadn't seen his smoker out back I would have thought that maybe he was just nuking Costco's pulled pork, tastes about the same. This place makes my heart sad. read more

If I could rate it zero stars I would. First we ordered brisket, links, cobbler and the works, $26. I figured it'd be good so I didn't stress the price. 30 minutes later our food wasn't ready. Then they informed us they ran out of brisket. We asked how much longer and the guy rudely replied, "it'll be ready when its ready"... How dare I ask why it took so long after 40 minutes of waiting. Finally we got our food- the hot link is a cheap hot dog, the cobbler and yams were cold, the cornbread dry and the ribs just eghhh... So damn disappointing. read more

Everything about this food truck rocks. The meat is smoky, flavorful, and surprisingly not as heavy as typical BBQ. The prices are a bit steep, but nothing can beat the convenience. The only reason for the lack of one star is the utter rudeness from the gentleman taking orders. I was yelled at for no reason multiple times. Then my food took almost 15 minutes to get out... It put a but of a damper on my experience, but I'm hoping that was a one time glitch. read more

Top notch BBQ. BEEF BRISKET just fell apart, so juicy and tender, I literally could eat my body weight in it. The sauceyface sandwich is a great combination of the pulled pork and hotlink. Ummm yummmmm!!! If you see this food truck around town I'd suggest you stop and get some homestyle cooked bbq. read more

These people are amazing! they made my Sauceyface Sandwich in 5 minutes and it was literally perfect! They made the best thing ive had in weeks! These people are amazing! -Juron read more

HP's Smokehouse BBQ - the food truck - Food Trucks Near Me

I did not care for this place. I ordered the brisket for 14 dollars and even ordered an extra side for 2 dollars more. Then I saw the microwave in the truck was in constant use. When I did get my order there was so little food I thought there might have been a mistake. The brisket was covered in sauce that had a very unpleasant aftertaste that took a while to eliminate from my mouth. It was burnt or bitter tasting. I suspect it may have contained fake smoke flavoring or such. The sides I got were cole slaw and potato salad and both were tasteless other then the large pickle chunks in the potato salad. I will not be returning. read more

This place is delicious! Ribs are amazing, pulled pork tangy perfect. Don't forget to try the yams, they are crazy good. I'm so happy my family and I found HP Smokehouse BBQ. With friendly, happy employees placed the perfect setting for fresh air, playground play, and a picnic. You will not be disappointed! Thank you HP Smokehouse, we will be back soon! read more

I had a great experience with HP's smokehouse. They catered for a BBQ I had for about 30 people in my backyard. I had them deliver meat and sides. The food was awesome and I got many compliments from my guests. They were on time and easy to contact for planning. I will definitely use them again! read more

I love these guys, I go whenever I see them at a festival or pass Juanita Beach park on their days. My faves are the pulled pork and yummy yams. I could get double helpings. My friend's 7 year old daughter loves their ribs, and her mom goes for the hot link. Something for everyone! We don't have a lot of good BBQ in the otherwise perfect PNW so this place is essential. Thank you Stan! read more

The best BBQ in Washington! The owners displayed excellent customer service and even better food . The mac and meat is my favorite! read more

HP's Smokehouse BBQ - Mac and meat with pulled chicken - Food Trucks Near Me

Some of the best BBQ I've had from a food truck. The service was great! Very friendly, had wide selection and made me feel welcomed as I came up to order my meal. I recommend the ribs, they are to die for read more

I am definitely in the "Yay! I'm a fan" club. I've followed HP's on Facebook since I moved to this area, yet never managed to visit until today. This check-in/review shows them at Juanita Beach but they also routinely set up shop at the Finn Hill QFC on Juanita Drive. A sunny Friday with just me and my oldest daughter bit of spontaneity found us here for lunch. I am the best mom, ever. We decided to go ALL THE HELL OUT, and ended up ordering pretty much the entire menu, which was: MEAT: Pulled pork sandwich Hot link Beef brisket Baby back ribs (3) SIDES: cole slaw yummy yams potato salad corn bread DESSERT: peach cobbler Like I said, we went ALL OUT, and were completely stuffed and went home leftovers to nibble later. The sauce is just fantastic. Not too thick, just a bit sweet, with a nice little kick at the end but easily palatable for anyone who doesn't want too spicy. Everything was good but a few things just stood out for me, personally: RIBS: nice char on the outside, beautiful deep smoke flavor, VERY meaty and not over-sauced YAMS: OMG, a revelation of creamy, cinnamony, buttery little cup of yummy. PEACH COBBLER: Didn't appear to be fresh peaches (not in season, so natch) but somehow, this warm, gooey little dessert had a savory quality to it in the crumble top that I can't quite place but was super delicious. The rest: POTATO SALAD: good, very pickle and celery heavy, but excellent. Potatoes were perfectly done for a salad. COLE SLAW: we ordered right as they opened so the bin was super full, so our portion was a little dry (I kind of like my cole slaw sloppy and wet) but it was very tasty. Nice pepper hints in it that I liked. HOT LINK: Well seared, drenched in their great sauce on a bun. Would definitely order again. PULLED PORK: beautifully smoked, chopped/pulled into little bits, with plenty of sauce on a bun. Get twice as many napkins as you think you'll need, then 5 more. BRISKET: ample portions, well sauced, carry the smoke flavor well. Slices were inconsistent in size (some were really thick, some thin). Not as melty/tender as one would dream for in a brisket. CORN BREAD: Dense, spongy and a little crumbly. Solid side. Not overly sweet. Would be best heated up or in a smaller portion (unless you have milk or something else to break up the crumbly/dense your eating) Service: SUPER nice and fun folks, who have a lot of love and passion going into their food and their little truck. Value: We had pretty much the entire menu (except the chicken), all the sides, a dessert and a soda plus tip for $45. The ENTIRE menu. Great value, priced well for the food truck genre, you could easily have a filling, tasty lunch for a 10-spot here. I will definitely be back to their regular haunts for some more. read more

If you like BBQ you have try HP's...I have pretty eaten everything on the menu..RIBS!!!...nuff said...Jim (=;

Rude and grumpy. It seems like most food trucks readily take credit cards. I bought over $20 of food and was displeased to be charged an extra $1 for credit card. After I tipped 20%, I mentioned that I didn't like this policy and was told to "f*ck off". read more

We sampled everything on their menu at a recent Kenmore summer concert. The pulled pork was delicious, the hot link tasty and our kids were fighting over who would get the most baby back ribs. They were that good. The sides are yummy - the peach cobbler is to DIE for. So, so, so good. My family is from the South so I have high expectations on BBQ in general, but desserts in particular. The peach cobbler ranked right up there with the best my grandmother ever made! We liked the food so much we asked to have HP's cater a birthday party recently. Every guest found at least one thing (and usually 3 or 4) to rave about. Quality, tasty meats, great sides, and, of course, that peach cobbler. If you are in the mood for great BBQ, HP's will meet the need. If you "like" them on Facebook, you can find out their locations for the day/week. Really helpful! read more

After a casual trip down to the Juanita market, I stumbled upon this BBQ joint. The reviews on Yelp were all fantastic, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Saucey Face with a side of cole slaw and my girlfriend ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of potato salad. There was not a lot of flavor in either one. Everything just tasted bland. However, you do get a decent amount of food for the price. read more

Super yummy sliced beef short ribs! I stopped by today because hubby was working, yes a holiday weekend and decided I'd try a close by food truck. BBQ is my weakness so when there is a place so close I had to give it a try. The beef short ribs fell apart when I cut them with a fork. I also got the side of cornbread which was delicious. Being a transplant from the south, I look for good BBQ and this did not disappoint. You should try them and I got a lot for $11. read more

If you are looking for awesome BBQ this is the place! Food was amazing I would recommend it, meat was cooked to perfection, even the sides were awesome!!! Try it you won't regret it!!! We will definitely be going back! Customer service was great, great atmosphere, very friendly! Loved it! read more

I was looking online for a good BBQ place in the area and stumbled upon this one. We were not disappointed. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich, the saucy face sandwich and an order of baby back ribs. For sides we tried the coleslaw, yams and cornbread. The meat was smoky and tender with the perfect amount of bbq sauce. The sides were impressive and it was a hearty amount of food for the price. The service was great, both gentlemen working were friendly and engaged. The only disappointing thing was that they didn't have brisket or potato salad which were the two things I was eager to try but I guess that gives us an excuse to go back soon! I definitely recommend giving this little BBQ place a try! read more

Very good food and the guy who cooked and waited in us was very nice and gave us great suggestions. It seemed to take a bit longer than I thought it would for the time of day, but regardless we all enjoyed our meals and recommend to anyone in the mood for barbecue read more

Overpriced. Mediocre sauce. Mediocre meat. Even if you are craving BBQ. I spent $13 for a smallish amount of brisket with no real smoke or distinct flavor. The sauce was cloying and tasted like it should be served at a school cafeteria. read more

Pretty typical food truck style portions and prices. You could try the entire menu for a reasonable price. The cornbread was a little too flaky for my taste and not sweet enough. Good flavor and will definitely be back once the weather heats up. read more
