Ok so I want to start with the food. Burnt ends 5 delish. Perfect balance of meat and fat and perfectly crispy and yummy bbq sauce. $8 Brisket sandwich. 2 this could have been a 5 star had there been bbq sauce on it. It was forgotten. I'd have asked for some but after the food was dropped off no one from the kitchen or bbq place was seen again. $18 Pork ribs. 1 . I had such high hopes for this. In the pics they look so good. But for $26 I expected more than 5 small ribs. The sides. The Mac n cheese was pretty good. I'd give it a solid 3 . The waffle rides were also fresh and crispy with a bit of smoke flavor. 5 Service. Also going with 1 . I don't expect to be waited on hand and foot. But it would have been nice for someone to just be out front to answer questions. Give me some extra sauce etc. I did wait st the podium for about 5 minutes before poking my head into the kitchen so I could place my Order. I didn't want to do the same for sauce. We were there 40 minutes. In that time I saw the guy twice. Taking my order and dropping off my food. I'd go back again before they close. I'd stick with The burnt ends. read more

LISTEN UP, because Rolling Smoke isn't just serving BBQ--they're out here providing innovative nicotine replacement therapy that the FDA is too afraid to acknowledge. Let me tell you about my server, the absolute legend who conquered his two-pack-a-day habit through the revolutionary "Brisket Smoke Immersion Protocol." This hero of modern medicine discovered that 60 minutes of face-time with oak-smoked brisket vapors carries the same satisfaction as 47 cigarettes, but with the added benefit of making your hair smell like victory. "The trick," he'll tell you while delivering a plate of burnt ends, "is to position yourself exactly 7.3 inches from the top rack, where the smoke density hits that sweet spot between 'spiritual awakening' and 'temporary meat blindness.'" He tracked his progress in a leather-bound journal that's now permanently infused with smoky goodness. Day 1 entry: "Visibility limited, meat particles adhering to eyebrows." Day 15: "Have begun to communicate telepathically with the brisket. It speaks of great wisdom." Day 30: "I am become smoke, destroyer of cravings." The restaurant had to install a special timer just for these sessions. They call it the "Meat Meditation Chamber," and there's now a waiting list of people trying to kick various habits through strategic smoke exposure. One guy supposedly gave up energy drinks by huffing pulled pork vapors for three weeks straight. The best part? While sharing his journey to smoke-based enlightenment, he'll serve you the most transcendent BBQ this side of the astral plane. The brisket doesn't just fall apart--it voluntarily deconstructs itself out of respect for your taste buds. The ribs have converted more vegetarians than a bacon-scented hypnosis podcast. Five stars. Would absolutely sit through another 45-minute explanation of how the smoke molecules restructured his DNA while demolishing a plate of burnt ends again. Just don't ask about the time he accidentally fell asleep in there and woke up speaking fluent Memphis-style BBQ. P.S. They're thinking about bottling the smoke as a cologne. There's already a pre-order list. read more

5 stars for the meat!! Fantastic quality, handled with respect. I can't say what we liked most. The brisket was tender, well seasoned, and delicious. The beef ribs were meaty! The pork ribs were meaty too - just love that St. Louis cut. For 13 people, we had 2 racks, 8 beef ribs, and 3 lbs brisket, and it was perfect. The sauce was pretty sweet. I'd like sauce more balanced with heat against that sweetness. I hope they soon have a website with an online menu and enough staff to answer the phone. We eventually got to communicate via text, and that worked OK. Growing pains, I'm sure. It's worth the effort for such wonderful meats! read more

This was some great BBQ we tried tonight! I regret not taking the pictures while we were eating there. The ribs were delicious and had a great pull apart off the bone. Thursdays are $1 wing day so why not try 6 and they were well worth the deal. The pork belly burnt ends were phenomenal and such a great deal for only $10 (they had no chance of lasting long enough to have a picture taken of them). It all had a great smokiness flavor but not overpowering. Located inside Lumber House Brewery that is kid family. The couple that owns and runs the place are absolutely delightful and very friendly. This is our only BBQ spot moving forward! read more

Horrible I came here late at night and on google it says they are open 24/7 but when I came here it was closed waste of time

This bbq place is the best and kind of a hidden gem. It's connected to the lumber house brewery, location changed within the building. It's nice they have a view of Mt.Ranier on a clear day. Happy to see they have this awesome bbq establishment. Beer is great and friendly staff. We will be back! Kids are also welcome :) read more

Me and my wife were happy to find this BBQ place attached to Lumber House Brewery. I love their beer and was happy to have a place to get food to go with my beer. After looking at the menu online my wife was looking forward to some burnt ends. Unfortunately, they just were not good. It was almost all fat with no meet. Now, burnt ends usually are a little fatty, but this was just fat. She left with a plate full of fat after eating what meat there was. I gave 'em a try and was equally not having it and I love me some good burnt ends. Even the other couple we were with were pretty floored by the amount of fat. I ordered a brisket sandwich that was ok. It was lacking in meat, so I couldn't really rate the quality of the brisket in the sandwich. While it wasn't bad, I wouldn't be getting it again. All in all we were pretty disappointed in the food. We really wanted to like this place because Black Diamond has limited dining options. At least I was't disappointed in my beer. Lumber House Brewery makes some quality brew. read more

The bbq is very good! We had the brisket, chicken, burnt ends and sides. The portions are large and tasty. We will return!

It is hard to find a legit bbq joint in the south Puget Sound area and it is absolutely a diamond in the rough lol and not just because it's in the city of Black Diamond. If you are a foodie, this is the place for you. Food came out and beautifully displayed. Forgot to take a picture because I was so hungry. They were out of the pork belly burnt ends but the substitution for pork ribs was a pleasant surprise. The rub was one of the best I've tasted. Ribs were intact but was fall off the bone delicious once you bit in. The beef brisket was spot on. Mac and cheese were awesome and we ordered more to go. We added a spicy hot link and some potato salad and we had the perfect balance for our overall meal. The added bonus is that they share the space with Lumber Brewery. Perfect pairing for a Friday night! We shall return! read more

PHENOMENAL BBQ!!!! You feel the love and smoke intertwined with flavors that dance on your tongue. $1 wing nights are excellent for date night. Their 12 man sandwich is piled high with a little bit of everything and is the perfect meal at the end of a long week read more

Rolling Smoke - Barbeque Near Me

Lumberhouse Brewery has been a staple, weekly visit for our family since we discovered them almost 10 years ago. Rolling Smoke has upped the game in an unbelievable way. This is, hands down, our favorite bbq. My daughter won't settle down until we give her a rib or some brisket. Whatever you order, you won't be disappointed! The ribs are SO smokey and sweet, they get me every time. The brisket is tender and savory. The wings are a unique, satisfying departure from the usual buffalo at the local bar. The sides, mac and cheese + potato salad + waffle fries + the baked beans: fantastic. The only disappointment would be if you get too full to try the whole menu. Get over here! *put the burnt ends over mac+cheese; ok I'm done! read more

My wife and I were on our way back to Canada, we were avoiding the Seattle traffic which is how we stumbled across this joint, and boy were we surprised. This is definitely a hole in a wall that's not easy to come by unless you know where to look. There is a brewery next door and they share the dining space. Don't expect to be served here as you gotta order and pay up by the counter. I was more than happy since that saves me the tips! We ordered the burnt pork belly end, pork ribs(I asked for them dry) and the beef brisket. Everything was excellent, but the brisket is what really impressed us. We have been to too many joints where they overcook the brisket and it ends up being a slop of dry, shredded meat. Jason's brisket preserved the shape of the meat, and it was very juicy and falls apart as soon as you bite into it. We enjoyed the food thoroughly and could OT recommend this place more. This place is worth making the detour for, because it is THAT good. Will definitely revisit the next time we come stateside again. PS. We didn't order the side dishes as they don't come as meals. They do include bread with your order, which we did not try so I can't give an opinion on. read more

Rolling Smoke - Brisket on top, pork ribs to the left and pork belly burnt ends at the right. - Barbeque Near Me

Best ribs I've had in a long time! The barbecue overall doesn't disappoint but definitely order the full rack when you go here because the half rack will leave you wanting more! Customer service is top notch and this place has grown exponentially with the locals. Because of the support from the locals, this place has an ambiance to it that feels welcoming. I highly recommend Rolling Smoke BBQ! read more

Love this place! Chill vibe shared with Lumber House brewery. Great BBQ and sides. With limited options in BD, this is one of the great ones! Hope they will get enough business to be open on more days eventually. read more

Decided to stop in after seeing the signs and after getting 6 packs from the brewery at maple valley farmers market. We got the food to go. First off, the ribs and the pork burnt ends were phenomenal. Ribs had perfect pull off the bone and had a great smoke ring. I like the bbq sauce but wish it was warm. The pork burnt ends had the perfect texture and amazing flavor. Will definitely be back to try the brisket and pulled pork (sold out when we went). The sides were good but nothing special. Not sure if there was miscommunication but didn't get a side of the beans. Will be back to try all things on the menu. Great place, glad it's local. They also had live music playing as a bonus read more

Nah. Out of baked beans, had to ask for bbq. Drinks are a different distributor. Potato salad the gross tub stuff from the grocery store. Pass this place by. read more

A very nice looking restaurant with a lot of space, booths, tables etc. We ordered take out- had the brisket and chicken. The brisket was delicious it was moist with a ring and sliced. The chicken was also good - half chicken on the bone. We will be back! read more

Awesome food, service, and people! Personally, my favorites are the brisket, sausage links, burnt pork ends and the mac & cheese. Honestly, it's ALL good. read more

They are the best BBQ place in PNW. I was there at 3pm when they opened and got all the good stuff! Meat is perfectly seasoned and not over salted. Very moist and full of flavor. The inside is very clean and simple, casual. Staff members were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it!!! read more

It's probably one of the best BBQs I've ever had in Washington! We stopped here on our way home from Mt. Rainier and did not regret it. The food was terrific, and the service was very friendly. We ordered the pork belly burnt ends, the sampler platter, and the sampler sandwich; the only thing we were not a huge fan of was the smoked sausage, which was a bit too salty for us. However, everything was AMAZING, and we will definitely be coming back, even if we are over an hour away! read more

Rolling Smoke - The food - Barbeque Near Me

Amazing food and very well priced. We are looking forward to coming back and having more! Lots more!

Best food I've had in years on the west side. The owner and his wife are extremely cool people as well. Try the ribs! Have not had better. Mac and cheese is killer, and I can't wait to come back to try more. read more

Got the 12 man sandwich in hopes to try everything in one sandwich. Mac and cheese was good. Brisket was really good. Pulled pork was dry and flavorless. Sausage was salty and the casing was really tough. Overall it was just a bunch of food piled on a bun. Not bad but not good either. read more

For me, the best BBQ in the area. We had a lot of everything: brisket, pork, ribs, sausage and sides. Portions were big enough we had leftovers. I will definitely return for more. read more

First time at this restaurant. Have to order BBQ separately from beverages. Pulled pork, brisket and sausage very good but could be served hotter. Beans, Mac n cheese, macaroni salad and potato salad good too. read more

This is a terrific locally owned barbecue joint. Great food/service. Beef ribs served on Fridays are an exceptional treat. Rolling smoke catered my son's graduation party this past weekend. Everything was ready as ordered, on time, hot and ready to eat. Nothing but raves from all the guests. read more

The crew is super cool. The barbecue is amazing. The brisket is one of the best briskets I've ever had.

Amazing food and service!! Loved it. The food is perfect in the brewery and it makes the whole place smell amazing!
