Milt's BBQ

07/17/2007 Posted by dh83

Hands Down !!, Milt's has the best bar-b-que pulled beef hotlink sandwiches around.. I drive all the way from Tacoma, Wa. atleast once or twice a month to get my fix of Milt's..

Pros: THUMBS UP ON ALL

For sake of having little options, one could understand why Milt's is so crowded. However, none of the food stands out as spectacular and, after drinks and dessert, it is not cheap. Chicken was better than the hot links (which were not much more than smothered hot dogs) and all the sides were bland. The peach cobbler was overly hot and tasteless. The staff is friendly but I will just cross the water next time I need BBQ.

Pros: good menu items

Cons: blandness of food

I wanted to like this place, I really did. Milt was such a nice guy and so down home, so I was predisposed to it. But the food was fatty, the sauce was unimaginative and bland, and the sides were ordinary. Worst, the BBQ had none of the zingy, sweet smokiness of 3 Pigs and was a tad overcooked. I'm a North Carolinian, so I'm picky but it just wasn't anything special. Milt, I'm sorry.

Pros: Milt, parking, comfy place

Cons: FOOD

Great food. Nice, friendly owner & staff. I drive all the way from Stanwood, about 50 miles, once to twice a month. Great "to go" packages. I love the barbque beef, the jumbalaya, gumbo. Also worth the taste are Milt's catfish, hush-puppies & greens. You can't go wrong at Milt's.

Beginning a search for the best BBQ in the Northwest: Milt's is tucked into a Redmond strip mall. The slaw was flavorful. The pulled pork sandwich was juicy, the sauce sweet with a hint of brown sugah, not quite enough meat for the bun. I -- unlike my companion -- like saucy meats, it it was good for me (although the meat was a little lost in goo). The "D*mn Hot" sauce was just right... flavor-filled with a burn. At $19 for two 'wiches, 3 sides (2 free, one extra), a little pricey for Q... but still good enough to go back. We're also thinkin' part of the ambiance is the owner -- does he talk with you?! Milt engaged us goin' in, and we had some laughs... but I always like someone who says "see ya again"; guess I'll have to go back! Surprisingly uncrowded!

Pros: Lots of seating, good banter with Milt, good sauce

Cons: sterile inside, no music, nobody said "see ya!"

My girlfriend & I recently went to Milt's & the experience was very unsatisfactory!!! The baby back ribs had virtually no meat on them whatsoever & the beef short ribs had a "freezer-burn" taste to them! I was very disappointed because I really like Milt - he was a great guy! And I would rather support a local small business owner than go to Tony Roma's etc for my BBQ cravings. But after this experience there is no way I can ever go back -the food was that bad & that expensive.

Cons: , Average Food at best

Milt may be an eccentric ol' cus, but then, that's his charm, and part of what brings you back. Unlike that other bbq joint down the road, Milt's meats are NOT chock full of big chunks of fat, and his sauce... mmm....mmmmmm! (especially the hot stuff) His side dishes are good. The beans and rice, not spicey enough for someone who has true Cajun friends. And, you've got to have one of those pecan or key lime pies.

The meat and sauce are superior, plus the parking and lines are better. Gene Porter is nice enough, but Milt is nicer.

We loved the BBQ at Milts! I had the beef brisket (tender, thick slices for dinner, and tender thin slices for the sandwiches). My husband had the ribs and thought they were very good. We will *definitely* go again.

Pros: inexpensive, delicious food, friendly atmosphere

Cons: no black eyed peas, no mashed potatoes, only sandwiches at 12

Milt's has great food with great atmosphere! Vegitarians? Ask for TVP (Textured Vegie Protien) Great with a bit of BBQ Sauce. Nice atmosphere with plenty of parking and Hot Sauce not just HOT but full of great flavor! Milt is a little slow so don't go if your in a hurry! (You can't rush the cook)
