Spokane Valley, nestled between rolling wheat fields and the Spokane River, has a food scene that reflects both its inland Northwest heritage and the growing popularity of all things smoked and sauced.
Local barbecue is all about big flavor, rustic settings, and pitmasters who aren’t afraid to experiment with woods, sauces, and smoking styles—from Texas beef to Northwest salmon.
1. TT’s Old Iron Brewery & BBQ
A vibrant combination of craft brewery and smokehouse, TT’s is beloved for moist, peppery brisket and meaty ribs.
Get a beer flight and the BBQ combo platter, and don’t miss the coleslaw or smoked jalapeño cheddar sausage.
The atmosphere is relaxed, industrial, and full of friendly energy.
2. Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
This outpost of the Texas-style chain is consistently well-reviewed—smoked brisket, pork ribs, turkey, and sausage all get a slow hickory treatment.
The “Big Yellow Cup” of sweet tea and free ice cream at the end of your meal give it a hometown feeling.
3. The Longhorn Barbecue
A local landmark since the 1950s, The Longhorn is all about Western hospitality—house-smoked sliced beef, ribs, and hot links, with a down-home decor that’s pure cowboy.
Their hickory pit-roasted chicken and Southern-style sides are a Spokane Valley staple.
4. Outlaw BBQ & Cater Market
A hidden gem loved by locals for generous portions and robust flavors—think spicy hot links, sweet sauced ribs, and brisket sandwiches.
They also offer creative sides (smoked mac & cheese, honey-glazed cornbread) and rotating specials. Their smoker out back will make your mouth water before you reach the door.
5. Porky G’s BBQ
Food truck turned cult favorite, Porky G’s specializes in smoked pork shoulder, hearty rib plates, and BBQ tacos.
Their peppery rubs and house sauces have won awards—you’ll often spot them at breweries or community events.
Grab some pickled red onions on your sandwich, and be sure to get extra napkins.
