Sigghh .. with the evaporation (ethnic cleansing by economic means) of Black Seattle, we have fewer and fewer good places for any soul food .. and that includes barbecue.
The only places Barb and I like are Willy’s and Uncle Mike’s (left). Willy is nearby .. just south of Franklin High. Mike’s is further off … in exotic South Center with a few of Seattle’s other diminishing supply of “ethnic” but not uber priced eats. Both are classics .. with great neighborhood clientele. Willy is a big quiet guy who keep trying new things .. he will smoke a turkey if you want. Mike is more Seattle .. his wife is a vegetarian .. so my wife can eat Mike’s BBQ chicken with beans .. no LARD!
But, being Seattle 2015, everything gets gooormet. Here is the current list .. from fancy and white to Texan and even nouveau “Northwest.” Not to put any of these down, but for my buck I would go to Willy or Mike’s place.
