    Pecos...is making me drool a little out of the side of my mouth.

    I've been coming to this place for about 20 years. Best BBQ ever, hands down. Everyone has their favorites, and mine's the Pecos Beef (that's the shredded) Medium, extra messy. (bet I don't have to explain that last part!) I like to flip my sandwich out of the wrapper onto a plate so I don't end up eating the wrapper. — Allison W. (Yelp)

    ...I'd guess at least 1/2 pound of meat on every sandwich!

    ...a good BBQ sandwich SHOULD be messy and ate with a fork. The person who said there is little meat got a VERY rare situation or is full of it, I'm a big guy and there is always TONS of meat, I'd guess at least 1/2 pound of meat on every sandwich. And the BBQ sauce is home made with honey and molasses. — John A. (Yelp)

The voters have spoken and the results are in! Pecos Pit is the 2012 Award Winner: BEST barbeque (Finalist) by Evening Magazine Best of Western Washington 2012

...The ladies at the register are always nice. It makes me feel like they recognize that I come here a lot. I would like to tip them. But the policy at Pecos Pit is that "we screw you on the price, rather than the tip." Instead, I just eat here more often.

Pecos Pit, 33 Years and Counting...

Located on 1st in Seattle's Historic SoDo District

"Big 'n' Messy" Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Pecos Pit Barbeque Original SoDo LocationOpen Mon-Fri 11am-4pm, you can smell Pecos from about a block away, which is always a positive sign. It will give your salivary glands a chance to hyper-engage so that by the time you're at the front window trying to order, you're also busy trying to wipe the drool off your chin.

Pecos Pit Barbeque Original SoDo Location

The flagship branch of Pecos, long ranked among the city's best barbeque, is located in Seattle's SoDo district (1st Street) in a converted former gas station lined with firewood.

For 33 years, Ron and Debra Wise have been serving up "big 'n' messy" pulled pork sandwiches, beef briquet and sides. Line up with the construction workers and Starbucks HQers at this cheap, weekday "lunch-only" for phenomenal barbeque that's "meaty, messy" and — when you order it hot — searingly spicy.

The Meat: Simple. Their meat is very well smoked. You can eat the meat by itself and enjoy it without the BBQ sauce. I bought a packed of take home meat and was amazed to find that the meat by itself was so good. It is packed with smoky goodness, very moist and good texture (you get different parts of the Pork chopped up).

Smoking Hot Barbecue Restaurants In and Around Seattle

Posted Aug 6th, 2015 by Articles

If variety is the spice of life, you’re in luck here. Big picnic tables flank this walk-up-window barbecue joint tucked snuggly into the sprawling SoDo neighborhood, where a large selection of slow-cooked meats is sure to please any barbecue-loving palate. Choices include Southern-style shredded or sliced beef brisket, shredded pork, sliced barbecue chicken, hot links or turkey breast (on Fridays) served as a deliciously sloppy sandwich ($7.85), salad ($8.15), or topping a steaming smoked russet ($9.45) or smoked sweet potato ($9.85). It’s a midday affair only; Pecos is open 10:30 a.m.–4 p.m. weekdays, often with a long line of hungry, blue-jeans-wearing diners during lunch hours. The ambiance is decidedly Southern, lending to the feeling that Tim McGraw might come around the corner strumming his guitar as you wash your meal down with Pecos’ chilled iced tea or lemonade...

The Seattle Times: My Top Ten: Pecos BBQ

When my husband called me at work last Valentine's Day with an invitation to meet him for lunch, he made it clear that afternoon delight was in the cards. Again. So what if it came (for him) in the form of a Pecos pork sandwich spiked with a hot link, slathered with "medium"-heat barbeque sauce and stuffed in an onion-speckled bun? I was more than happy to join in, as usual, with my own lusty luncheon: a roll loaded with tender slabs of alder-smoked beef brisket, sided with...

The long lines say it all at Pecos Pit: barbeque fans call it home

After writing a recent story on where to find good barbeque, I was rightly raked over the coals by fans of Pecos Pit. They wondered how I could have missed the best place for succulent smoky meat in Seattle? OK, so I've seen the light. It's the light from the alderwood embers that fuels the Southern-style pit, where tough meat turns tender after cooking for hours and hours...
