"4.5 stars here most definitely. Finally, after driving by so many times during a period when we didn’t need a meal, the timing came together to eat some Q here. The aroma of smoked meat was pleasantly pungent as we arrived. Great atmosphere with everything done so well from the furnishings and the décor on the walls down to the self-serve peanuts with shells tossed to the floor to make you feel like you are eating in a Texas roadhouse. I loved it.Here you look either at the menu screen behind the counter or grab a seat, peruse the menu, and return up front to place your order. All staff we interacted with were very personable and answered any questions easily, including my query as to what type of wood they use. It’s apple. Double Barrel has what might be the most extensive menu I’ve seen at a BBQ joint. Definitely in Washington. They are open for all three meals, opening at 7am. This menu looks fantastic and I was told (in confidence? it was the best breakfast in town. You can see the offerings in print and picture on their website. As for the lunch/dinner menu it includes all the expected protein options and then some. Brisket, Baby back ribs, pulled pork plus smoked turkey and chickens. Served as both sandwiches and dinner platters. A wide selection of breads and sides, most made here, compliment the platters. On top of the Q menu, they also do a variety of appetizers, burgers, a brisket grilled cheese, and salads. Even a white bean chicken chili (next time .We’ve learned from previous BBQ meals it’s best for us to share a two or three meat meal to enjoy as much as comfortably possible. So today it was the 3-meat platter with two sides and a cheddar biscuit. Meats were brisket, ribs, and smoked turkey. Sides of potato salad and coleslaw. Somewhat surprisingly for this area I was asked if I wanted fatty or lean. Very common in Texas, most joints near me don’t bother to ask. You get what you get. Fatty all the way for us. Soon we received a platter of sensational looking Q. Fantastic smoke ring on the brisket and ribs. Moist, somewhat thin, slices of turkey. A fluffy corner biscuit and clearly house made slaw and pot salad. Brisket was sliced thicker than expected and well barked with their distinct rub, heavy today on the black pepper. I put pepper on everything almost and this was just at the point of almost too much. The meat was moist and flavorful even without any of the four choices for sauce-original (a little sweet , sweet (molasses notes , hot (can’t do it , and a fourth I neglected to note. The original, in our opinion, went best with all the meats. Especially the wonderful turkey. One of the best in recent memory. I know this will be my sandwich of choice on my next visit. The only small meat misstep in my opinion on our visit was the just too much black pepper burn on the ribs. When I bit below the bark the meat was so flavorful but I feel like someone got carried away with the rub here. Edible but a bit disappointing. Hoping for lighter hand next visit.Sides were true standouts without question for us. The slaw mixed the cabbage with a dressing that was wonderfully sweet (pineapple or apple juice maybe and a nice amount of celery seed. Fantastic. And I will say unequivocally that throughout my BBQ dining nationwide this potato salad was top three ever. Perfect potatoes, the right amount of mayo/mustard, hard-boiled egg boosting it up at least a couple of notches. It’s very rare that I will buy more of a side to take home but I jumped on 16 ounces of this to enjoy when I next fire up the grill. It was that good. Desserts advertised include pecan pie, Texas sheet cake, and Peach Cobbler but we had no room for that today. Double Barrel is easily top two that I have tried in Washington, ahead of a couple of better known names out there. Highly recommended."
