Disappointed. What we got was good. Ordered 2 Northwest Samplers. “All the meats, 4 sides, 3 muffins $37(each)” for pick up 4/5/25. The hours stated they opened at 3, so we thought that ordering as soon as they opened would give us the best chance at fresh barbecue. Called order in at 3:01. The staff that answered was friendly and courteous. I told her I would like to order for pick up, then ordered 2 of the NW Sampler. Learned that there was no beef, so I substituted hot links. Ordered the 8 sides: 2 loaded mash with pork, NW beans, greens, loaded Mac & cheese, plain Mac and cheese, coleslaw and dirty rice. My partner picked up the order. What we got were 2 containers each with 2 ribs, 2 chicken thighs, and pulled pork. 6 of the sides were in 8 oz containers, 4 muffins, no links, no coleslaw, no dirty rice. There were 2 containers of gumbo and 2 containers of rice, which hadn’t been ordered. I’m not in the habit of reviewing businesses. We either continue to be patrons or we don’t. The food was tasty. The hot links had apparently ran out before the order was picked up. The reason was because they were catering. Okay, I get it. But what about the dine in and take out orders? Had we known that catering took precedence over other diners we would have chosen to ask if catering was happening that day, and ordered...
Read moreI have been tying to find good smoked food for years. I have only had excellent smoked food at a Shady Cove location, until tonight. This place is absolutely delicious. We got the sampler and every meat was top notch. Ribs melt off the bone, chicken flakes away (in the good way), pulled pork is tender and juicy. They were out of Tri Tip but with the flavor and quality of everything else I understand why. I’ll be back to try that for sure. We got the loaded Mac N Cheese which is perfect! Not soggy at all! We got the Loaded Mashed Potatoes and I’m being serious when I say this, they are the best I have ever had and my Fiancé definitely agrees with me. The cornbread is excellent and soft it is not dry. The cornbread is topped with an herb butter that is amazing as well. French fries are beer battered so they are super crunchy and never soggy! The Beignets are a delish top off to the amazing foods. The service is the best I’ve ever received anywhere. The owner is an awesome person and is very friendly. I get family vibes from him when I am in there. The waitresses are very nice and make sure you’re topped off on water, napkins, silverware, anything you may need, the waitresses are there. Thank you for an amazing experience and we will most definitely be back for...
Read moreWe tried this for dinner and it was overall decent. The people were awesome, very nice and helpful. We were there fairly early, around 5:30ish, and it wasn't very busy yet. We ordered the pulled pork (our yardstick when we try a new BBQ place) and it was pretty good. They had a house made BBQ sauce that was good, they had another that was just OK, I don't think it was house made. We had cornbread, greens, mac and cheese and beans for sides. The cornbread was on the dry side and the mac and cheese was OK. The greens and beans were very good. It seemed a bit odd to us, but they had a DJ setting up when we got there, we assumed for later in the evening, but he started up not long after we arrived and it was fairly loud. Someone did ask he lower the volume a bit and he did. There was a young family close to us that left because of the music that was playing - it was hip hop/rap with some language that not everyone appreciates. It didn't really bother us, it was just hard to have a conversation. Overall we're glad we gave it a try and we'll keep it...
