The Scene
Husband-and-wife team Debra and Ronald Wise are still having fun, even though they opened their tiny takeout barbecue joint way back in 1980. Debra's the smiling face at the order counter; Ron's in back scooping the goods onto buns. This lunch-only spot fills up with workers and baseball fans before a matinee game, but the lines keep moving steadily along.
The Food
Dainty food this is not. It isn't for folks who mind a mess; it's for those who seek one. Ham, hot links and shredded beef and pork get the sweet-smoke treatment with three levels of heat. The meat is heaped between, next to and around big, oniony buns that wilt from the sauce--in a good way. Grab a side of beans, a pile of napkins and a soda, and head to the picnic tables to chow down.

Great place to pick up a bbq sandwhich. Located in an old gas station. Open limited hours and often a line up. A testimony to the great food and consistent quality.

It just tastes good. The sauce is good and I recommend 'spiking' it, which means adding a hotlink to your sandwich. You really can't go wrong by eating here.

If your in the mood for a sandwich, you cant do much better in Seattle than Pecos. Pulled pork and beef, or sliced beef, those are your choices. No indoor seating, cash only. Pure, Simple, I love it! Besides the sandwich, which is a hefty portion, you can order a hot link on the side (or on the sandwich) and bbq beans. One caveat, I love heat, I cook with Habaneros regularly, but I order medium here, and it is plenty spicy! Enough to feel it under your eyes. I stay away from the hot because the smoke and other spices are just too perfect to be lost on having a numb mouth. Toughest thing is choosing between the beef and the pork, so my wife and I usually get one of each and split them. If you finish a whole one, be ready for a nap!

Where to Sit:
There is no indoor seating, but many picnic tables outside. Of those, two are under a roof.
Know Before You Go:
Even the medium sauce is hot; mild is a good choice for the majority of folks.
The Extras:
The joint is located a four blocks south of Safeco--it's a bit of a hike, but you'll welcome the exercise after your calorie-fest.
