Im not a huge bbq fan but this place is so good!! We ordered a combo of ribs and chicken thighs with coleslaw and potato salad, and then a separate rib meal with fries and corn bread. The one side of fries was a huge portion! Corn bread was warm and came with a side of honey butter. The chicken was juicy and well flavored! Did not disappoint. The ranch has some tanginess to it - we enjoyed it alongside the spicy bbq sauce. Arnold Palmer was good! The woman who took our order was really nice and upfront about how much meat we should be expecting with each order. She gave us her recommendation to try the regular bbq ribs which was very tasty. Subtly sweet and nice bbq flavor! Ribs were well cooked and practically fell off the bone. The space itself is clean and spacious - lots of tables and booths. There's bar seating as well. We'll definitely be back here!

Tried this place out because my daughter who just had a baby craved some BBQ. Ambience was great restaurant was clean. Service was excellent and friendly. We ordered the smokehouse sampler that feeds 4-6. Cornbread was gritty, dry and tasteless might have been a bad day. Everything else was wonderful the only thing I miss from this BBQ was mac & cheese if ya know ya know. Meats were perfect and delicious. Definitely going back when we crave BBQ.

The ribs are incredibly delicious, the most tender I've had in years. Even in the Seattle area, it's hard to find a place that makes ribs this tender and flavorful. I even had to come back for a second round before heading home. The staff provides excellent service, and the atmosphere is great--relaxed and not crowded, making you want to stay for a while. The restrooms are clean. The only downside is the price. Personally, I think it's a bit expensive, even more so than many places in the Seattle area.

An unexpectedly unbelievable meal. First off i love that they do chicken thighs, one of the best bbq items you usually dont see. The siracha bbq ribs are fantastic as well But the fries are some of the best ive ever had and their fry sauce is to die for. I have been all over the country for BBQ and this is right up there with some of the best ive had

Great BBQ? Yes, Please! This place is worth your business for SO many reasons! Very clean and orderly. Great atmosphere (kudos to your playlist creator!) along with friendly and helpful employees start your visit. Ordering is a breeze and then BAM, your food arrives within a few minutes on warm plates! And what a delight it is! Treat yourself to cornbread - a very unique recipe! Beans also have a great flavor and are packed with meat. I snagged the Brisket French Dip and every part was terrific! Loved the au jus! Others in our party had the chopped beef brisket and pulled chicken. LOVED IT! Table bbq sauce was tasty, as was the cole slaw. I'm a lemonade snob and theirs passed very ably. Bonus: Got to meet the owner who was very gracious and welcoming. Again, this place is a gem - as the line of people ordering and picking up food orders for our entire visit will attest!

Blown away. My husband is a Smash Burger fan we made a special trip to Wenatchee to try Sweetwood BBQ's Oklahoma Smash Burger. The piled high 2x smash patties with onions smashed in American cheese and their Sweetwood burger sauce on a potato bun. Incredible flavor savory and sweet with all that melty cheese mingled with the Sweetwood burger sauce. * note -this burger is not on their regular menu it's a special they run on Wednesdays. I ordered the pick 2 special with pulled chicken, coleslaw and corn bread. The moist chicken meat had a slight smokey flavor that didn't overwhelm the natural flavor. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp. The cornbread was flakey, moist and perfectly slightly sweet. I was impressed with the generous portions. I had to get a to go box. The service is excellent and the staff is very friendly. As we ate they walked around checking with each and every table making sure we all enjoyed our meals. We also received a surprise sample of their Honey Sriracha Ribs. I have never had a rib that tasted like candy and meat at the same time, so delicious. After eating I definitely needed a couple wet naps. The atmosphere of Sweetwood is clean and comfortable. You can choose a booth that is dark and cozy or a table that is bright and comfy. We are excited to come back and bring friends after New Years. Don't forget to purchase a bottle or two of their homemade BBQ sauce. We got a few for gifts.

Absolutely happy to write a review for the best cheeseburger of Wenatchee and the best BBQ in Washington State. I traveled to visit this place because I kept hearing good things and really was after just a cheeseburger. The menu rotates as most good restaurants do. It all depends on the sourced meats ect. While in town I connected with the location asking if a burger is on the menu and was given a day that it would be. The special was a Oklahoma cheese burger. It's a style of cheeseburger that uses mustard, onion and smashed beef and typically American Cheese. The service is stellar and the staff is eager to accommodate everyone's needs. It's in a stop mall type building but the ambiance is immediately obvious upon entry. It feels rustic and comfortable and has adequate seating but show up early on these cheeseburger dates because quantity is limited and the restaurant could sell out. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
