Stopped by and they were closed but Miz Dee pulled up and offered to make a full rack of ribs to take home. She opened her kitchen and heart to try her amazing ribs! She went over and above in generosity and hospitality when she could have easily said we're closed come back another time! We visit Yakima twice a year and she said let her know when we visit next time so we can try all of her other items. read more

Tried to stop in around 4pm on a Friday and the chairs were on the tables, and vehicles blocking the entrance. Is this place still open? Really want to try their food but never open when I drive by. read more

Closed when I came by at noon. Not sure they are still in business. A one so I can make this known. Will change when I come back if they're open. read more

The 1 star review is to get this information posted. I was last here in July, 2023 and the place was closed (and looked like it hadn't been open for a while). Now it is the end on June, 2024 and I am back in Yakima. I saw the Yelp review had been updated three months ago with new hours. As today is Friday and they were to be open from 11:00 AM, I went by to check it out. Nope, still *CLOSED* up. But the back door was open, so I stuck my head in and hollered "Hello?". To my surprise the effervescent (if you have listened to her voice mail greeting you will know what I mean) Miz Dee hollered back! Turns out , that after 31 years, she has turned the business over to the kids. Hence the new name "All About BBQ & More (Miz. Dee's Next Generation)". She told me the kids decided to focus on catering and events rather than retail sales and that is why there isn't much going on at the sticks and bricks. She apparently does come in once in a while to cook, But it isn't often. She did tell me to call a few days before I am in town and she would cook something for me. A generous offer indeed. P.S. Since I was hungry both times I went there, I wound up at Winey Dogs (https://winey-dogs.com/) right next door. Great dogs and a really nice couple who own/operate the business. I highly recommend the dogs and them. Oh yea, four legged dogs are welcome here!. read more

Alway'sthe best place for bbq anything and peach cobbler I need some every day if I could

As somebody who has become a lover of all things food over the past five or six years, there are plenty of places that I had tried in the past but I'm now starting to rediscover. One such place is Miz Dee's BBQ. This is a place that I remember from growing up, and remember really liking the food, and recently was re-introduced to it. We had a get together at our office where Miz Dee and her crew of barbecue rock stars came and made lunch for a large group of us. It's the first time in memory that I was wowed by a place that I had been before, and didn't remember the food being as good as it was! These folks absolutely know how to do barbecue, and it's legit, not thatMustard and vinegar-based sauce that's down in North Carolina, but rather real Deep flavors barbecue that make you sit there and lick your fingers in hopes that you're able to get just a little taste of something that might've been left behind. They do ribs, brisket, pulled pork and chicken All of which I have had twice in the last week (We decided to have her cater another event three days later!) And all of which are absolutely brilliant. In the same way that I'm sure it was beautiful watching Michelangelo craft something out of marble, Ms. Dee's medium is hunks of delicious meat! After I took a bite of the brisket, I literally turned around and went back to get more of the meat and sauce. Not only was the meat perfectly done, but I think the sauce was the best I've ever tasted. They do predominately catering, however they are open Thursday through Saturday if they're not catering somewhere. Definitely best to check it out before you go, and if they are you should definitely be there. The service, the food and just the overall vibe of everything these folks do is top-notch! If you need something catered, if you have company coming in, or if you just happen to be looking for some really good food when we can, this is absolutely the place you should check out! read more

Update after a year - their barbecue is still the best! Now Miz Dee also 2 extremely hot bbq sauce, made with ghost peppers, that can be an add on. Heads up - be prepared to wait at least 45mins to an hour if you are ordering in person. If you are short of time, i'd suggest ordering ahead over phone so that one doesn't miss their food read more

This place is legit. Some super good down south bbq. Don't pass up this place. The huge smoker in front with Mix Dee manning it as you pull up was very welcoming read more

This place is a hidden gem! We were on our way from cherry picking in the area and decided to grab quick lunch at Miz Dee's BBQ. We ordered pulled pork with potato salad and coleslaw and pork ribs with baked beans. The food was amazing! Ribs were incredibly tender with meat falling off the bones (that's when you know it's good) and pulled pork had that perfect smoked taste. The portions were very generous as well. I definitely recommend coming here if you are in Yakima! read more

This place is a gem find in Yakima. Don't miss this if you are visiting or passing through. When my husband and I realized the hotel we reserved gave away our room with a kitchenette, we had to go looking for a spot to eat. THANK GOODNESS for Miz' Dee's BBQ. I got the mild ribs with corn bread soaked in some kind of buttery goodness and potato salad, wow. I'm planning on making a pit stop back there tomorrow on our way back home to Seattle. I need more ribs! PS : the spicy is HOT, she warned us. read more

This is homemade BBQ place and very hospitable. This is an understatement. I called Miz Dee's in the morning to see if she was open or catering. There was no answer so I was going to the alternate BBQ place. On my way at to an inferior BBQ place, Miz Dee calls me. Perfect timing obviously I changed course to Miz Dee's. This is five star joint and it would be ten stars if it could. Thank you Miz Dee! As for the food if you like grandma's cooking this is the spot! read more

Where to begin... what an amazing experience here. The personality, love and charisma are worth the trip alone. The best bbq I've (we four) have ever had is a bonus. We called and it was closed. Miz Dee said we could come down and she would cook something up for us on a limited menu. We showed up and were welcomed as if we were long time friends. Lots of love here. Hanging with her husband Don, got him to break his guitar out. What an authentic organically driven moment we experienced. The ribs fall off bone dripping with a unique flavor and a texture that keeps your mouth craving more. Miz Dee knows her stuff with apple and cherrywood cooking. Watched her manage Don on the grill from inside the kitchen with Intuition, telepathy and experience to make the perfect bbq. Will be back soon. Not even open and were treated like family. Wow! read more

Wasn't even open at noon on Thursday when we drove over to eat it was shut down even though yelp said open. Wish they would keep up on their hours for customers. read more

Stumbled upon Miz Dee's restaurant and I'm so glad that I did. I don't know if I've ever felt so welcomed at a restaurant in my life. The food was amazing; both me and my girlfriend enjoyed what we got. I ordered the hook it up ribs and she had a pulled pork sandwich. I was amazed at how good both of our orders were. I highly recommend this place! read more

I don't go around giving out 5 star ratings but Miz Dee's BBQ should get like an 8 star rating. She's only open on Thursday thru Saturday but we took a chance and called her on Monday for lunch on Tuesday while we were in town. She was kind enough to make us Jambalaya , collard greens , brisket and cornbread. We have never had such a wonderful meal. Miz Dee's is Gods gift to the kitchen and to all that have found here we all shine brighter in her presence. If you were ever looking for a reason to visit Yakima look no further than Miz Dee's it will be well worth the trip. read more

Would definitely give Miz Dee 5+ stars for the hospitality and yummy BBQ ribs and chicken. When we arrived on Saturday morning, it was closed for a catering service. The owner, she didn't turn us away. She asked us to leave the address and food order so that her granddaughter can deliver it next day since we live in the same town. So we waited a day and half and finally got it in the Sunday night. When the food was delivered, it was still warm. We didn't wait and try the meats once we got back home. The ribs and chicken were well marinated, meats were tender, bones were easily to bite. We saved the most for the next day's lunch and hoped the meats would keep their best flavors. read more

The food is really good. There has been a few other local BBQ places in town over the years. None of them has been able to last as long as Miz Dee's. Unfortunately I'm not sure how long she's going to be there. She's been busy training the next generation of family to take it over. What is nice about this place it's actually cheaper than the corporate places and there is actually meat on the bone. Most people get it for take out. If covid wasn't around there's a few tables outside and a few inside. However the place isn't really designed for dine-in. But the smell of BBQ is overwhelming. For me it is a smell I could inhale all day long. read more

A couple coworkers and I found Miz Dee's upon a hankering for BBQ and what a blessing it turned out to be. Even though Miz Dee's was actually closed that day- she was there prepping for a special event- she welcomed us like we were old friends and we left with some of the best ribs and baked beans I've ever had! It's great food cooked with love by a special woman, and you've got to check out her Choo Choo out front. Will definitely stop every time I'm in Yakima to try everything else on the menu. Thank you Miz Dee!! read more

What can I say about this place? The BBQ was delicious. Mizz Dee is amazing. We came in and were instantly treated like family. Her sweet potato pie was crazy good. Mizz Dee turned my wife into a cornbread fan. We are from out of town and are talking about coming back for a day just to eat there. Mizz Dee thank you for a great time and great food. read more

I've tired to stop by but this place has never been open. I first heard about Miz Dee's last year. My dad told me there is some good BBQ in Yakima. I think he saw her on the tv or somewhere. I go to Yakima for work often but every time I stop by it's closed. I think she mainly does catering or cooks for events only. Lunchtime came around I thought why not call Miz Dee's. I called and she answered. She told me they were closed today she was prepping food for a party of 700 on Saturday. I kept her on the phone explained to her how I've been wanting to try her cooking for some time now. She asked me if I could come on down for a plate. I told her sure I could be there in an hour. She was so nice on the phone I couldn't say no. You could smell the smoke from the BBQ as your making your way down the block to her shop. She was happy to see me. I had never met her before but she called me by my name. She told me she had ribs, beans and potato salad or macaroni salad ready for me. I took 2 plates one hot and one regulars. I thanked for food and was on my way. The smell in the truck on the way back to work was just beautiful. You never forget that BBQ smell. It's just amazing. From the smell alone I knew that I was about to have some great BBQ. I really like the hot sauce on the ribs. The dry rub just everything went so well. I can't remember the last time I had BBQ this good. read more

Best bbq this side of the Mississippi. When I see her open I always have to stop by. Her rib hook up is where it's at and if you've never tried her got sauce... be ready, but it is awesome. My favorite bbq in town. read more

Miz Dee's BBQ had her light on one night and we walked in. She gave us the warmest greeting and called me by name. She was in the process of working on several things at once, but readily made time to get us something off her menu. We had her chicken and macaroni and cheese, which tasted just wonderful! Miz Dee's food is not only awesome, she has a heart of gold. It's my pleasure to support a local business that has been part of Yakima for decades. If you're looking for authentic southern BBQ food, you can't do better than Miz Dee's! read more

I have been going to Mis Dees for nearly 20 years and no one can beat her food, a treat for the taste buds everytime! Yum!!! Her family is so great a treat go in and talk with always. read more

Miz Dee's BBQ - The front - Barbeque Near Me - Yakima, Washington

Open Thu, Fri, and Sat (unless they are catering), so you have to get a little lucky and plan ahead, but it's worth it. We were in Yakima this week for a convention and we were looking for BBQ. We initially tried to go to Miz Dee's on a Wednesday only to find it closed. It's still possible to smell the smokey meats when the place is closed. On our way out of town on Friday, we tried again and had sweet success. Received a big hug from Miz. Dee when we walked in. I'm not sure I've experienced that at a restaurant before, but it was awesome. The pulled pork, pork ribs, baked beans, and mac n' cheese were great. About halfway through the meal, Miz Dee came and sat down with a bottle of sauce, and then added a bit to the side of my plate. It was a little too spicy for my taste, so she brought out some original. Then she brought out some wet hand towels. Then she brought out a taste of the peach cobbler, just because she wanted us to try it. It was like being with a mom that just wants you to be happy and well fed, a great experience, and the sweetest lady in the world. Thanks Miz Dee's Make it do what it does Miz Dee's!!! read more

This is easily the best barbecue in the Yakima area probably in the whole state maybe even three or four states these folks flat out make some great barbecue. You will stuff yourself even though you're full it just tastes so good you just got to keep eating. Don't miss this place it would be in the state you're really missing out on something if you do. They also cater they will bring their whole set up out to where you want them to cater and they have the best attitudes, such nice folks. They talk to you like an old friend and seem genuine, nothing seems forced, genuinely nice people. I love them. read more

Moved up here from Portland and had been looking at this place finally got the chance to try it today and it was great. Sides, the chicken and the jambalya were all perfect. To top it all off Miz Dee is a fun welcoming person so it makes the trip to Miz Dee's that much better! read more

Miz Dee is a sweetheart, that's for sure. I was flying into Yakima to take care of some business on a Saturday in January. Reviews said that she can be catering and may not be open, so call ahead. I did call ahead. Miz Dee told me that she was planning on cooking ribs and chicken on Saturday, but I should call that morning to make sure. How warm it was outside would impact her work. I called on Saturday and she told me what was on the menu, and I confirmed coming in that afternoon. When I arrived, I got a hug. I also got to hang out in the door to the kitchen while she did her work. She had me choose the chicken off the BBQ that I wanted, and from there she cut up the chicken and ribs, doused them in sauce, and wrapped everything up for me for my trip home. I also got some peach cobbler, which she had me try before packing it up. I also got to sample some of the chicken and her hot sauce. What an experience. Not only was the company good, but the food is terrific. Terrific chicken, and terrific ribs. My only regret is that she could not do brisket that day, and she had no beans nor potato salad (it sounds like she eases up in the winter and gears up as spring approaches). If you can make it work, and if she is open, go here for food. Really, some of the best BBQ I've had. Yum. read more

The definition of hospitality! Once you step through Miz Dee's doors you are part of the family. Easily the best experience I have had in an eatery ever. Fresh BBQ every day! The pulled pork is succulent. Can't say enough about this Yakima gem. read more

I've been to NYC and Baltimore where they have pit beef every where I've been in never had bbq like miss Dees it's the best

I was lucky enough to find Miz Dee's BBQ while in Yakima on business. It was easily the finest bbq I've had since moving to the Northwest. As a southern transplant, i know good bbq when I taste it, and Miz Dee could hold her own on any street corner in Memphis or Birmingham. I had the bbq ribs, which were so tender they almost melted in my mouth. The meat is smoked on site, and the sauce Miz Dee uses is an old family recipe. Miz Dee has not moved far from her southern culinary roots. I live nearly four hours away, but cannot wait until I have an excuse to return to Yakima. If you are in Yakima or the surrounding area,, Miz Dee's is a must try. You do need to get there early, as she seems to open around 11 and sells out quick. read more

Miss Dee welcomed us at the door like we were her long lost sons. She said she was preparing a catering for 700 people so she wasn't open but then she made us sit down and brought us plates of ribs, beans and potato salad. No kidding, the ribs were the best I've ever had, fall off the bone tender with a crunchy crust and a sauce that was sweet and perfectly spicy. The potato salad was exactly how I like it, wet with a good balance of mayo and mustard. The whole time we were there, miss Dee hovered over us making sure we were doing okay. Do yourself a favor and eat here! read more

Wow did I get lucky finding this diamond in the rough. Miz Dee took me in, made me feel like family and went out of her way to make me a stellar, succulent BBQ sandwich that satisfied my craving. Her customer service should not go without merit and her food says it all. She knows her Q and treats her guests well. Just great. Thank you Dee and staff for going above and beyond to make my day. She has limited hours but so worth the wait. Yakima is lucky to have Miz Dees BBQ. read more

The best barbecue in Yakima Washington much better than Famous Dave's and Miss d herself is a wonderful person

When a person thinks bbq ribs go no further than our Miss Dees in yakima absolutely nothing in any state like it due to the love she puts into this and the fine apple wood she smokes with the very best not to mention her chicken sweet potatoes cornbread and baked beans all for $10 to $12 but its a $75 meal if there was 10 stars i would rate 10 stars. God bless Miss Dees read more
