Now…read morelet me tell you: Trash Can Lid sounds like an urban legend when I speak of it to BBQ loving friends. Leftovers for days if split between 2 people. We ordered all the sides I think beans, Mac, collard greens, cucumber/tomato salad, slaw... Btw you need the cucumber salad to cool your palate after yummy but spicy moose turds. I wish I could eat more of those but they're too hot for me, but I'm wimpy when it comes to heat. My teens enjoyed their plates. They had to be different and order their own entrees and not share with us. I don't think they realized what was about to be delivered to our table. We enjoyed Trash can lid's many delightful meats like the good raccoons we are. We look forward to the next time! Soon...

Potatoes were my least favorite--soggy and flavorless. Coffee was okay but coffeemate in the table may have been bad. Service was decent. But not all folks in our group were happy with their meals...I think mostly due to the sausage in the breakfast burrito and omelette appeared to be Italian sausage instead of the breakfast sausage which I got with my breakfast.

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.

Why would the fuzz be coming into the bar and shaking down retirees. The food was poor to adequate. Hamburgers and fries were OK but the fried cheese was awful.

I thank them for doing so. Every danged bite of protein is amazing. Smokey, but not overly so. Seasoned lightly, allowing the flavor of the meat to shine. Sides that not just compliment the cue, but make your fork reach for them---in between your hands picking up bones and gnawing off the soft parts in a primitive manner. We here in the Inland Empire have some pretty darned good smoked meats available to us, and those of us who have prolifically reviewed for a decade+, know that was not always the case. These guys hold the mantle, for now, with Texas-style barbecue...

In addition to a cool fun vibe, this place is always very clean. Obviously important in any restaurant, but let's be honest, BBQ can be messy. But they keep it very squared away here. Since I have mentioned it already, just want to say they do really good BBQ, especially for Spokane. I do want to note they are a bit spendy, but the great food, atmosphere, and employees make it worth it.

It is very casual here, with massive outdoor eating space. Sort of like a friendly state fair vibe. Every employee I have met here has been super nice and friendly, no matter how crazy busy it gets. And the fact it is almost always crazy busy tells you how good the food is. I will note the prices are definitely high enough to prevent me being a "regular" here, but when I want good BBQ and don't have the time to do it myself, this is always the first place I want to go. Finally, the dessert case. Oh man, if you can't find something you really like here, you just aren't a happy person and cannot be pleased.

The three of us shared the BBQ Sliders, with brisket and their Outlaw Pickle Fries.

So we took my husband this last time to enjoy the best nachos ever. The chips were sogging almost right away. Something was different about the cheese, and the pork was way over salted. I don't know if they have a new cook, but this really saddened me. Naturally the pulled pork sandwiches were also too salty. This is so sad, as I love this restaurant. I didn't send anything back, but if it happens again I will be forced to.
