Smoke And Shine - Kirkland

Before COVID this was a reliable place to get good barbecue and related items), and had a good selection of beer and whiskey. It closed for a while, and when it came back the food did not. We were delighted to return for dinner, only to find hat the beans tasted like barely doctored canned pork and beans; the barbecue pork shoulder was tasteless, and the sandwiches $15 for a plain pork barbecue sandwich) barely had any meat in them. The french fries were good, but not good enough to entice us to return.

My friends and I showed up to enjoy some of the barbecue and other food that was listed online at this establishment website. Once we arrived to the saloon, we were very disappointment to learn that none of the food we wanted, such as shrimp grits, brisket, cornbread, bbq ribs, ect. that was listed online there website was not available. Very disappointing as we have been trying to visit this saloon for their food for months. Hopefully the menu is updated, the website still indicates kids welcome which is not the case, and hopefully the menu is updated to what food is currently being served and available.

Waitress #1 takes your debit card before your order and puts it in file, we continue the evening with appetizers beverages and food. When we ask for the final bill waitress #2 ask us for payment. We say to her you have the debit card. Waitress #2 can't find the the debit card we give to waitress #1. Waitress #1 said she had to go to work at another establishment downtown. We ask waitress #2 that debit card is within the premises. Waitress #2 finally locates debit card. Long story short.....no tip for waitress #1 or waitress #2

We love our Friday's. Country dancing and great food.

Hidden GEM in Kirkland/ Eastside for BBQ! My husband I came in on a Sunday nite for a wknd cheat meal we were definitely blown away at how amazing the food was how generous the portions were for the price! We ordered the ribs- MEAT LITERALLY FELL OFF THE BONE CLEAN, The Cubano- was melted, toasted roasted pork perfection, the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers were HUGE! Perfect place to catch the SNF game- lots of TVs all over the bar/ restaurant one giant big screen. Bar tender Eric chef were super friendly attentive! We will definitely be back to catch another game to take advantage of the pool tables bar games soon! So glad we finally decided to give this place a try that it's so close to home!
