Etta's Big Mountain BBQ

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!

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

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!

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?????

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.

Quintessential northwest inspired seafood. Tom Douglas is consistent at delivery delicious quality food. The decor is very dated, almost as if it belongs in an episode of Frasier, but the location is good and a window seat makes up for the 90’s theme. The classic Tom Douglas salmon was rich and buttery, nothing was particularly memorable about the fish but that’s not a bad thing. The avocado and grapefruit salad was bright, fresh and offered a range of textures and depth of flavor, very enjoyable. Overall a great experience.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the new counter service/trendy casual concept but was pleasantly surprised! The food was excellent (I had salmon, mushroom nachos and a whiskey based cocktail on tap) and the takeout I brought home for my husband traveled well. We sat in a cute armchair area complete with retro TV trays :) We were there as a party of 2 but I noted they had several larger tables that could handle parties of 10-12 on a walk-in basis which is hard to find in Pike Place Market so I expect that they would do well with larger groups as well.

Our first place to eat in Seattle and we were pleasantly surprised. Everything was very good and fresh. We were adjusting to a three hour lag from eastern time so brunch was great. They add a %20 gratuity and our server was worth adding more.
