Wake N Bacon Bbq - Shoreline

Haven't been back after two visits back in 2018. However, It has come to my attention that Wake N Bacon BBQ is no longer dine in or takeout, hence this update (2/27/23). Looks like they pivoted to just catering. Wish them all the best. Great alternatives are Blackbird and Le Petit Paquet if you've ended up in Richmond Beach. But if you still have a hankering for BBQ and don't want to breakout the grill or smoker, try Jeff's Texas Style BBQ in Marysville or Briley's in Lake Forest Park. They do both dine in, takeout, and catering/large orders. Always check respective businesses websites, Yelp, Instagram, or Google for additional and current information. Saves you the grief of venturing out and getting disappointed.

This is such an incredible spot for BBQ. The best I've had in WA and on par with what I've experienced in Texas. I am so, so disappointed they've changed their model to catering only. I totally get it from a business perspective, but wow, such a loss. This was a go-to takeout spot for me.

Brisket was cooked to perfection. Beefer sandwich was also very good. They give you a good amount of meat for the sandwich, anymore would have fallen out. They don't have indoor seating, but do have one table outside the shop. The staff was so friendly, and she even gave us a plate for us to use while we dined! Would come again to try the different type of meat

Amazing. Do yourself a favor and try this place. Not only is the food good, but the service was fantastic!

After reading the reviews I was stoked to try it. Sounded like the real deal. Unfortunately people seem to have pretty low expectations when it comes to bbq. I got a ribs and pork plate, and some brisket. Wanted to try their staples. Was pretty disappointed. The pork was dry and flavorless. The brisket was also flavorless, bark was disappointing, but not quite as dry (yet still fairly dry). Ribs weren't too bad, were on the somewhat drier side, and needed more salt in the rub. Nothing tasted of even a hint of smoke, and no smoke rings. Didn't taste like bbq, just some overcooked roast. Everything needed sauce to be palatable, and their sauces are truly unimpressive. Mac and cheese was bland and stale. Greens were actually ok, and the jalapeño cornbread was pretty good. I will say they were very friendly there. Have been questing for good bbq in Seattle. The search continues.
