Berry's BBQ — Restaurant in Burien

A friend of mine went to this restaurant yesterday, October 3 because we saw the reviews and thought it’d be good. The owner greeted us. The customer service was OK. We placed our order then the owner and the other young lady that helped left for a catering job and left two teenagers there to oversee the restaurant.

I received my food ordered the mix and match with the ribs and chicken with macaroni and cheese, yams, potato salad, cornbread. The chicken was dry and overcooked the macaroni was very salty and the potato salad was just big chunks of potatoes and some kind of cream sauce. It was not good. The cornbread was sweet. The ribs were tender. The sauce was not good. I brought my ribs home and put my own sauce on them and the yams were average. I only ate the yams the cornbread and brought the ribs home. I left all the food basically untouched. I wish I took a picture.

I asked for a partial refund but the people that were there, which look like teenagers had no idea what to do. They tried calling the owner three times didn’t answer her phone. He talked to somebody else I left my name and number they said they will call me when they got back. Have not received the call back. I call today, Sunday, October 4. Sounds like teenager answered the phone. I asked if the manager was available he said no one’s there today. I asked him are you able to help me he immediately said no. I asked when will somebody be in? He said call back tomorrow. I would email, but they don’t even have a valid email on their website.

At this point I’ll be calling my bank to dispute the charge. I do not...

The staff here is sweet, but this is the nastiest barbecue I’ve ever had in my life.

The brisket is like beef jerky slathered in barbecue sauce. I chewed for a long time and had trouble swallowing it. The chicken’s skin has chewiness also doused in barbecue sauce. There is a lack of smoke flavor and seasoning to the food.

The potato salad is completely inedible and has an overwhelming sweet and ambiguous flavor. The texture was mush inside a wet mess. I spit it out on the first bite and washed my mouth out because the flavor is so repulsive. I put it in the trash immediately.

The “peach cobbler” almost looks like a quesadilla as it’s a small amount of peach filling between two layers of pie crust. It taste like dough dipped in cinnamon apple sauce. The top crust was charred slightly which is okay but the bottom was soggy and seriously underbaked. I used quotations because it’s peach pie and not cobbler.

I didn’t bother to try the rest of my food due the extent of my disappointment in the food. If I could give 0...

Best BBQ I’ve had in years—and thankfully close to my house! If you’re looking for a family owned, Southern joint, this is it. The mom and daughter were tag teaming the front and kitchen. Super friendly, upbeat and welcoming. The place itself had plenty of street parking in front, but also a side parking lot. Inside the restaurant there are a few high top tables, however, it seems like take out or pick up is most popular.

We ordered the Chef’s Sampler Dinner which was more than enough for the two of us…and a second meal the following day! It comes with one of everything: Two sides of your choice (can never go wrong with Mac n cheese or greens), two corn bread slices, hot link, ribs, chicken, pulled pork and brisket. It’s hard to say which items we loved the most, but it’s hands down the most tender chicken and fall-off-the-bone ribs! I can’t wait to try their stuffed turkey legs that they raved about.

Just know I’ll be back! Now that’s enough !!!s...
