Ok I admit it I am kind of a nut for BBQ & have compiled a hand full of places I like to go in conjunction with fishing so here is my review

Rooters in Black Diamond After a long day of fishing Lake Sawyer this is a great place to fill up for the drive home.Parking can be a pain with the boat on.They have some of the best baked beans around. It was better & cheaper b4 it burnt down.Now its more like a nice sit down restaurant.

Pecos Pit I like to make a stop here after spending my kids collage fund at Outdoor Emporium just jump over 3blocks to 1st Ave & head south.All the seating is outside & food comes fast at fair price, taste great,limited menu,only open for lunch I think.

Warthog BBQ spend most of you retirement money at Sport CO. and on you way home stop at the Warthog to spend what's left. Very cool building. Food can be inconsistent sauce is a bit watery. Texas toast is good, stew was good.

Cedar River Smokehouse not far from Coulon boat launch. If you are daring you can try to find parking with a boat on. This place is the top IMO. It has great décor & for the $$ some of the best BBQ around. Watch out for the sauce the medium is hot & the hot well I don't dare. Its all good get the corn bread as you side & don't forget to get a punch card buy 9 get one free 

Famous Dave's BBQ they just opened here in south center. Stop over at Sport CO to buy what little fishing gear they have   
All I can say Dave is famous for is over priced so so food.

Ranch house BBQ I found this place just by luck when we were on HWY 8 heading to a campground. I new I had the right place when in the entryway was a wall of awards from many states for best BBQ. WOW is all I can say. Not the cheapest place I ever been but when my kid eats her food faster then me you know its good.My only problem how was I ever going to make a stop here again & then Cabalas opens in Lacey YES I have my reason & then last night on the news I see Mudslide destroys popular Ranch House BBQ eatery
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
Now that I have made you all hungry for BBQ have a great day. Don't forget to visit your cardiologist

Also Texas Smoke House BBQ in Woodinville. Yum,Yum.

Pecos is the best but here's some more.  Branks in Sumner. JT's on the west side of the Narrows bridge on 6th.

Oh Contre!  Mr. Bassaholic.   Depending upon which BBQ I choose to dine at, I can go past any of the locations I mentioned on the way home from Lk. WA.   There are areas close to both locations that allow me to park the boat and truck.  Alas however, for the Generals is not open on weekends.

Prefers Carolina style BBQ over Texas or Maryland.

There's a nice little place on Greenwood Avenue at the Junction of Greenwood/Holman/105th. It's behind the Jiffy Lube and not impressive to look at, but their BBQ is really nice, best 'slaw around.........

My fav was Lyle`s tri tips at the pot luck during a wbc tournament    time place  and company  makes good eats
