Bitterroot Bbq - Seattle

We had a great experience with Bitterroot catering our reception! They were communicative and friendly, they offered their expertise based on working in the space (Cathedral) before, and our guests were commenting positively about the food all night! Thanks to Camille and Hannah for a great event!Highly recommend!

Amazing! The Stonehenge (cranberry turkey basil cream cheese) and Smokey the Pig sandwiches were unbelievable. So good! My husband and I would be regulars if we weren't from the other side of the country! Great stop in Ballard.Food: 5/5

The restaurant I visited that specializes in BBQ exceeded my expectations. I ordered the pulled pork and smoked chicken, and was delighted with the generous portions. The meats were tender, flavorful, and expertly smoked. Accompanying my meal were a variety of delectable sides. The French fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned, while the cheddar grits provided a rich and creamy complement. The highlight, however, was the jalapeno cheddar cornbread, which added a delightful kick to each bite.The ambiance of the place was appealing, offering both indoor and outdoor seating options. I chose to dine indoors, enjoying the rustic decor and cozy atmosphere. The waitress was attentive and provided excellent service throughout my meal. One minor inconvenience was that they only accepted card payments, but this did not diminish my overall experience.In conclusion, this BBQ restaurant impressed me with its flavorful and plentiful offerings. The combination of succulent meats, generous sides, and attentive service made for a truly enjoyable dining experience. Whether you're a BBQ enthusiast or simply craving a satisfying meal, this place is definitely worth a visit.

By Seattle BBQ standards, Bitterroot is quite good, but by southern standards, it's lacking a lot. The meat is generally well cooked, but the cut on the pork ribs is inconsistent and, at times, will be delivered with the membrane and tendons still attached. The sauces are genuinely very good, especially the spicy sauce, and they have the best North Carolina sauce I've found in Seattle, but the fact that it needs sauce to be good is a problem. The ribs come out already coated in a sauce and are missing the flavor of the dry ingredients that they probably don't apply to them. The brisket is very tender, again very well cooked, and is probably the safe bet to order, but was quite dry one of the two times I've had it so sauce may be needed to moisten it. All that said, it's not a bad place, and in Seattle, you're hard pressed to find better.

My coworker I decided to walk up find a restaurant to eat lunch. We walked along Ballard Ave NW and decide on which restaurant to eat at. We could smell a savory bbq flavor wafting in the air. By the time we reached Bitterroot BBQ, we had decided. We walked in. The person at the walkup was courteous helped us decide on our lunch. The dining area was clean with a nice ambiance. We chatted until our meals were delivered to our tables. The BBQ sandwiches were a tasty juicy smorgasbord of flavors. We both only ate half of our sandwiches. The other half of my sandwich was even tastier the next day.
