Etta's Big Mountain BBQ

My second time here. First time with friends, today with family, and now it will be my secret spot when visiting Pike. I always have roasted rib, authentic and tasty. The staff is always nice. And the atmosphere is relaxed with people watching sports games.

The best place to get some BBQ and watch sports downtown! I love coming here from the market and have some grubs a little bit different from the usuals (seafood everywhere). The cabin vibe and its friendly staff really make for an awesome cozy atmosphere. I got a chance to taste this week's 'game day special' wings: citrus Christmas cranberry. Delicious! And they serve you the whole wing (a refreshing change from most wing places). They have an ample selection of beers from local breweries, which changes regularly. Even offer samplers if you want a taste of some of the big names in town. I will definitely be back, maybe to try their new wings flavor!

After we spent the day exploring Seattle, this BBQ spot jumped out at us. It’s not your typical sit-down restaurant as you order up at the front and then find a seat. All of our food was exceptionally fresh with my sister’s nachos being the crowd favorite at our table. I can’t remember what cocktails we ordered, but none of us had any complaints! They lose a star because what BBQ joint doesn’t offer honey mustard or other condiments aside from ketchup? Weird!

Fine flavored dining with a relaxed atmosphere and epic music makes this a great place to relax and eat with friends. There was both traditional and non traditional fare on the menu. We had the salmon which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The brisket nachos were a bit on the side of lacking, and I am surprised there wasn't as much meat in them as there could have been. The drinks are great and the appetizers on the whole, were well worth the wait!

Smash burger is delicious. A bit saucy so ate it with a fork but well worth it. Nachos were good. I’d get them again but they aren’t a must eat. Pork ribs were very good. A little surprised by the small portion size considering the price but was very happy with it. We ended the meal with coconut cream pie. $13 is a bit much but wife says it’s well worth it. Customer service isn’t the greatest. Stood in line for way too long waiting to order. But overall a very enjoyable meal and would recommend to anyone living nearby

Five star for beer taplist for a nice variety of Pacific Northwest breweries and beer styles on tap. Pretty fast service, you order at the counter. Food was average overall. Smash chicken sandwich was pretty good, burger and pretzel was fine, nacho with beef brisket was fine but not much meat. Street parking can be an issue.

Umm well just okay not the best but not the worst. I had the Brisket Dinner for $28. Nice bark but fatty. Meat was dry ,Potato salad was very vinegar forward for my palate. Baked beans had a great flavor with heat but had garbanzo beans in it. I am old school when it comes to my beans, personal preference . I asked the staff a few questions about the BBQ and received a DEER IN HEADLIGHTS answer. Will I return?????

After a week of eating primarily seafood, we saw this BBQ spot out next to Pikes Place Market and we're excited to give it a shot. We got the pretzel with cheese which was decent as an app but then we all ordered pulled pork only to find out they didn't have any pulled pork left at 12 on a Friday, we were also not given any suggested alternatives.... Seemed strange, our only options seemed to be brisket or ribs and those didn't look appealing so we left only haven tried the pretzel.
