Everyone loved the food. The New York sausages were a hit. We also had yummy pulled pork, baked beans, coleslaw, and the best smoked Mac and cheese. Our guest were so pleased with the food, and the smell of the smoker cooking had everyone's mouths watering. We had lots of food, Garth made sure no one went hungry. Our guests lined up for seconds and thirds. If you are looking for great BBQ, call on 7J's BBQ, you will not be disappointed.

The brisket is crazy tender and falls apart, the house sausage was definitely my favorite flavor wise. I got baked beans, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, and the coleslaw for sides, by far I liked the coleslaw the best. Overall the food is worth it and I will definitely be going again.

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...

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.

I don't think it would cost much to make this happen and they'd probably save a lot on sauce cost because when I came here with my B-friend's family, for Father's Day. Everybody poured ketchup, bbq & Worcestershire and that spicy white stuff & probably some sauces I'm forgetting about, that all ended up in the trash, mostly. I think it would behoove them to get the little squeeze bottles so that people can squeeze as they go and not just fill up little buckets of sauce and throw them right into the trash after dipping once. I don't think he would even need to have enough sauces for every table... Just a handful. People are pretty levelheaded, and I believe this would not be hard to save a lot of wasted sauce and product cost loss. Leaving five stars because the meats are phenomenal. I'm not gonna do a star just because the sauce situation is awkward. Had a great time! I used to love coming here when Gwen worked here... The drink selections are great! Atmosphere is phenomenal. Great seating outside with a big stage. Plenty of space for children to run around and play. I will definitely continue to come back. I have high hopes for the sauce situation to be slightly altered to avoid loss/waste. Hopefully someday soon.

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.

One can totally tell she loves what she does bc she is around helping and socializing with everyone to make it an overall great dining experience!

I've had much better brisket. To me it seemed dry. They had a selection of sauce that was good. The mac and cheese was good but appeared to have been sitting for a while. I understand that they were at a remote location and that's why the quality suffered. The lady serving wasn't the friendliest. It was hot out and she must have been burned out. I really think I caught them at a bad time.

I recommend the hot BBQ sauce, my wife liked the milder variety. The prices are really good for the quality. The only drawback is you have to wait for a special event. We did buy some of their BBQ sauce, but it's not quite the same at home as it is enjoying their cooking. We look for their events all the time, and if close, we take advantage.

Hallelujah!! A true Texas BBQ joint has come to the Inland Northwest! I'm singin' the praises of…read more8251 BBQ! Ever since I saw their posts on social media, I'd been anxious to get there. They're just over the mountain from us (about 40 miles), but I've tried 4 different joints up here in the PNW that advertise "real bbq" and 4 times been disappointed. But, good things have come to those who wait. 8251 sits inside the Chewelah General Store, just off the "main drag." You step inside and the vibe is trendy, eclectic and all-around homey. There's country music playing, friendly folk behind the bar and a nice waft of smoky meats in the air. I ordered a half pound of brisket, some of their house made sausage and a "Texas Twinkie" (brisket and cream cheese stuffed in a jalapeño, wrapped in bacon and grilled to deliciousness). That brisket ... I'm just sayin' ... WOW! Tender, moist, smoky... excellent! The sausage is a little dense, but has good flavor. I do recommend the more "savory" bbq sauce. But, but, BUT, it's the Texas Twinkies that are the big ticket. Outstanding! Prices are on par with anywhere else you'd go around here for bbq (only 8251 is light years better). Again, the staff are super friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back to try the ribs and pulled pork ... maybe some sides, too.
