Betty Jean's BBQ - Spokane, Washington

everything we had was so darn good! i got chicken and ribs with baked beans and coleslaw, she got pulled pork with mac and cheese and corn. the beans had a nice smokiness to them and the coleslaw was pretty perfect, not overly saucy. my only minor complaint is I wish there were wet wipes or at least paper towels available, cuz you really need something after handling the ribs and chicken. will absolutely return!

My family and I love this restaurant. The esthetic, atmosphere, and service is unmatched. The food is always served hot and timely.

I originally began to visit the restaurant when I used the cater service to service my baby shower 2022. The food was a hit! Ever since we’ve been locked in.

Join the Betty Jean wave 🌊. Your missing out on a great down home experience from NC.

We arrived with a party of six at dinner time on Friday night. The restaurant was not very full. There were maybe four or five tables. They were out of a number of menu items. The server did tell us about some of those but then when we went to order we found out they were out of another thing and so we had to change our order. I ordered the "hold the bun", with a beer. The beer was in a can but a cold glass was available. Our server was really nice. She asked us all the right questions, And communicated when the food was going to arrive when things were delayed.

And there was a pretty good delay on our order. It was about 25 minutes before the first two meals arrived, And then another 5 minutes before the next two meals arrived, and then another few minutes for the last two meals to arrive. The food was hot. Mine was okay. The coleslaw was really good and the pulled pork was I believe over seasoned, too much vinegar and salt. And it had a little bit of chewiness like it was overcooked. Two from our party ordered the fries and they both looked very dark like they were quite overcooked and crispy but when we touched and tasted them they were soft and floppy. My guess is a combination of dirty oil and the wrong oil temperature caused this.

My dad's brisket was pretty good. I liked that. But there was a consensus around the table that it was overdone. My nephew did enjoy the chicken fingers. He gobbled them up but didn't eat his fries.

Overall, it was kind of a middling experience. I really wanted to try the golden sauce but they were out of that as well.

We had a hard time catching this place open. But once the stars aligned, we finally got the try Betty jeans Carolina BBQ. It did not disappoint.

Honestly, not to be rude to their competition, but this is the only barbecue in town worth having. It was flavorful, perfectly done and you could taste the smoke. As a transplant from the southeast, I was getting worried I wasn't going to find a barbeque joint here. I'm not worried anymore. Also the sweet tea is good and the people are nice

The brisket was super soft and moist! Nice crispy outer layer with a little bit of fat perfectly juicy! The sausage is decent. The ribs were amazing!!! Fatty but amazing!! I really wanted to like this place! And I'm so glad I do!
Their BBQ sauce could go better but the meat is good enough that you don't really miss it!

I tried the grandma's special 3 meat combo and the beef and pulled pork burger. Both were amazing! The sides were nice too. Loved the hush puppies. The corn can do better. Very satisfied. I'm going back very soon!

Their meats are MUCH better than outlaw which everyone in Spokane recommends. But I've tried outlaw 4 times and been disappointed every time!

We reached 7:40 and they close at 8 (even on the weekends)...But they made us feel welcome and did not rush us. We were out before 8:10.

This has been exactly what my wife and I have been searching for when it comes to BBQ in Washington! The Mac n cheese was so creamy with a hint of sweet. The ribs were so juicy and tender with so much flavor! We will be making trips back to Spokane specifically for this place!

North Carolina style bbq in Spokane’s south hill. Ordered ‘The RDU’ (takeout) with brisket and chicken paired with green beans and slaw. Food was ready for pickup within 15 minutes from ordering. Comfortable, large booths, welcoming and friendly. Looking forward to eating in-restaurant next time! Parking is behind restaurant.
