"Just like airport TSA agents screaming about portable electronics at the crack of dawn, a great meal at Lil Red is guaranteed. This Columbia City Jamaican spot is not just one of Seattle's best restaurants to begin with—they also serve the best BBQ in town, along with soul food and a menu of specials that work together to make the ultimate comfort meal. Whether your order involves chunks of smokey rib tips to toss back like Skittles or brisket that’s so soft it possesses the ability to fold into an origami meat sculpture, the only wrong move here would be to skip the garlic mashed potatoes or spiced mac and cheese. We think about both more often than TSA agents fantasize about the day that belts might be outlawed." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
