Voted Best BBQ in Seattle: Thank You!

Seattle Magazine readers voted Outsider BBQ & Beer Garden Best BBQ in Seattle in the 2026 Readers' Choice awards. Thank you, Seattle!

Outsider BBQ started with a backyard smoker in Austin. In Seattle it grew into brewery pop-ups around Ballard, then a food truck, and since February 2025 our garage-door barbecue hall and beer garden on Leary Way in Frelard, right between Fremont and Ballard. Every step of the way, it's been you, our guests, neighbors and regulars, who kept the fire going.

To say thank you: get a free banana pudding with any meat order or big tray, through Sunday, Nov 15.

Come see us Wednesday to Sunday, 11 AM to 8 PM, at 4010 NW Leary Way. Oak-smoked brisket, ribs, pulled pork and house-made sausage, scratch sides and local craft beer. Lunch plates are served Wednesday to Friday, 11 AM to 3 PM. Planning a party or an office lunch? We cater all over Seattle.
