Richard's Too Good BBQ Shop

The brisket was great! The wings were too smokey for my wife, but I liked them. The greens were very good though I would have liked more with my plate. The cornbread was sweet yet not like a cake. The owner knows his stuff!

This is the best BBQ place in my opinion in all of Seattle! Their food is amazing and unique with their Seattle style flavor; you can tell their food is made with love. You will not be disappointed experiencing their passion for food and their hospitality. Thank you also for catering the Epiphany Parish’s annual Kick Off Picnic! Everyone was raving about the food and we all felt the love from your service.

Great BBQ! Ribs were sweet and smokey and the bbq sauce was fantastic. Dill Potato salad had great dill flavor with a little bit of sweetness. baked beans were good too! Definitely will be back and the customer service was 10/10. Wishing them the best! Come try this place out.

Enjoyed stopping shortly after it opened on Sunday. Richard help explain the menu and about his style of BBQ. We ordered some brisket and ribs along with most of the sides. Enjoyed our lunch very much and will definitely be back

Richards BBQ is indeed too good! Richard himself warmheartedly greeted me and explained the available options for ordering my meal. I tried the delicious chopped brisket, mac n’ cheese and collard greens plus the honey cornbread. Everything was amazing and the chopped brisket was moist, tender and had just the right hint of smoke flavor! If you love barbecue, stop on by and give it a try…They do catering too!

Best BBQ! Amazing food and even more amazing people that own this place. My personal favorite was chicken with Dill potato salad and bacon baked beans, Make sure and add on a corn muffin, it does not disappoint. There is a great park just down the street to set up a picnic, enjoy!

The best BBQ in Seattle. The brisket, mac and cheese, corn bread, and greens were all incredible. Richard was extremely friendly and great to talk to. The menu is gluten free which is incredible for people with Celiac or gluten allergies given how often BBQ has gluten. My family will be going back regularly! Thank you!

Damn good bbq in Madrona! Definitely worth a day trip if you’re in the mood for legit ribs and brisket. Sides were great as well. Richard was super friendly and you can tell he’s put his heart and soul into this place. I got the ribs plate with mango slaw and Mac and cheese. I really wanted to try the brisket so added that to the plate. I was solo so have plenty of leftovers but for $25 this was plenty for 2 to share. I like the ribs the best. Soft and tender but didn’t fall apart at the first bite. Top notch! Really didn’t need any sauce, flavor was great. Also loved the mango slaw, it was a vinegar based slaw which I love. I’m not a mayo slaw fan. Sweet and sour cut through the fatty goodness of the meat.

Such a terrific recent addition to our "downtown Madrona" neighborhood. Delicious BBQ that often sells out quickly (you only make that mistake once!) served up by the loveliest and friendliest couple, Richard & Lauren.

The food is great here. All gluten free and super delicious. The ribs are absolutely delicious and the brisket is pre shredded and so yummy. Bbq sauce is sweet tangy with a pop. So good. Beans, collards, cornbread muffins, Mac and cheese are all delicious. I haven't tried the other sides yet! Highly recommend. And they cater. We got ribs for a party recently and everyone enjoyed them!

He was out of chicken and brisket. The ribs and collard greens were over-cooked. Ribs were dry and hard. Recently opened needs some time to get his act together. I'll give him a couple of months and try again.

Outstanding. The BBQ plate included two sides. The brisket was smoky and delicious. The mac n cheese was among the best I've had with perfectly crusty burnt ends. The owner was incredibly welcoming. Very friendly for those gluten free. The only downside is limited options for vegetarians. I'm thrilled they've opened as this will likely be my favorite restaurant in Madrona.

Fantastic. Excellent food and great service. Highly recommend this place if You're in the Madrona area.
