Small place with big Texas size flavor

by lars5

I have been visiting this restaurant regularly for at least 5 years, and they have never failed to deliver a tasty meal at a reasonable price. When I ask for hot style, they deliver the heat and when I want a certain cut, they deliver with no hesitation.

I enjoy listening to the "newbies" to Manna, they always say they're surprised how a tiny place, run by a Korean couple, that sells excellent Texas style BBQ. In the 5 years, I have never heard a customer complaint, or even mutter under their breath their disappointment.

• Pros: consistent quality, delicious smoked flavor, Da-Sauce
• Cons: parking (reason for the 4 stars)

My favorite Barbecue in Seattle

by hotglu

I couldn't believe this place when I found it. It says Texas barbecue and it delivers, but from the most unexpected place. It is run by a Korean couple who are not only friendly but make great food. The meats have a wonderful smoky flavor shared also by the baked beans and baked potatoes. We regularly have the chicken dinner which comes with a generous portion of meat with beans and cornbread muffin and one other side. I usually get the coleslaw which has just the right amount of mayo and is slightly sweet. And then there is the barbeque sauce; hot smoky with a hint of chocolate, fantastic. All of this comes at a reasonable price to boot. This place is worth the trip and if you live in the neighborhood, a must.

• Pros: real smoked meats and great sauce, excellent value

Good old fashion service

by RachelMae

My husband and I love Mana's! The Texas Spuds are our favorite but every thing we have had from them has been great. You usually have to wait for a bit for your food if you go in to eat ,which I like because you can tell the food is being prepared fresh. The owners are lovely people and they are always warm and inviting. Warm and inviting can be hard to find now a days it's nice to know this kind of good old fashion service and damn good food still exist. Give them a try!

• Pros: Good food, good service, good people
