We were blown away by how good everything was. Brisket, ribs, catfish were all outstanding mains. The hush puppies had just the right amount of sweetness to not need honey as a crutch. I’m normally a purist when it comes to chili, but the chunky onions and tomatoes worked well.

The service was more attentive than most casual open seating restaurants and tried to warn us about how much food we were ordering.

Excellent atmosphere, good food, but hands down the “RIBS” are the best entree on the menu! The sides were all really good, but the fries were a bit too salty! Honestly not to much to really complain about, but the above about the food is all my opinion. You have to experience this place for yourself to decide what you think?

I have always loved Briley’s! Their food is really good and portions are also pretty big. The service staff is always kind. There is also a nice view of the lake which is pretty rare for this kind of restaurant.

Great BBQ, excellent service and professional staff.

There were five of us. We had a pound each of: lean brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken.

We also had sides: BBQ beans*, dirty rice*, brisket chili, Mac & Cheese*, slaw, cornbread*.
*Best sides

Meats were done perfectly with good smoke, moist and tender but not falling appart. Good bark on the pork and brisket.

BBQ is spendy nowadays. Brileys is worth it, at least on this visit.

Tables and dining area were clean and had a great vibe. Big screens for sports and a Lake WA view out the window.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re into smoke meats.

Really good bbq joint. The service is outstanding and it’s my families go to pit. I love the balance of various woods used. I forgot the exact ones used but I believe cedar and possibly cherry. I could be wrong. The flavors really seep through the brisket and ribs and they fall off the bone. I love the sides and the greens with pork are my go to. Everything is delicious and I appreciate that it’s the owners unique style.

Top notch BBQ. I had the pulled pork, pit beef, and brisket. My only complaint was the brisket I had seemed to be a low quality cut of meat with a thick piece of gristle in it.
The hush puppies were unique with a sugar coating and very good. The collard greens were on point as we’re the baked beans.

Me & my friend sat outside. I had the boneless wings & she had the pulled pork sandwich,with the sweet potato fries. let me just say it was the BEST barbecue sauce & the chicken was amazing! The Best we both have EVER had! We stuffed ourselves on the food, until we couldn’t eat anymore! But still wanted more!!! The staff was super friendly. The scenery was very pretty & the tables were clean. Even the outside area was very nice & clean!! if I ever go back to Shoreline Seattle, that will be my number one go to place to eat. LOVED THE FOOD & LOVED THE STAFF!!

Superb. Some of the best BBQ I’ve had in a long time! And not shy with portions like other BBQ places. This brisket sandwich was piled high and delicious!! Highly recommend! Seasoned beautifully and juicy!

To preface this review, I’m from Texas where BBQ is king, culture, religion, and life.

Briley’s served the worst “BBQ” I’ve had in WA. We got a little bit of everything, but here’s what I tried:

Sliced Briket: zero bark, gray, zero marbling, fat caps were opaque, dry and tough, tasted of beef with no seasoning at all.

Andouille: decent snap, super bland, grind was course.

Beans: thick floppy onions, fatty chunks of meat, and sweeter than sweet tea.

Collard greens: just tasted of vinegar, undercooked stems.

Ribs: the only item we got that was seasoned well, dryer but still fall off the bone, over all maybe Applebee’s quality.

Mac: okay taste, seasoned with black pepper, split and gritty.

Sauces: all vinegar all the time.

Cornbread was the biggest dissapointment of them all. DRY as hell, crumbly, sugary sweet.

We couldn’t finish anything but the ribs. 🙁 definitely a huge let down and we wont be back. If you come from the south, maybe save your money.

If you’re craving authentic, mouth‑watering barbecue, Briley’s BBQ and Grill is the place to be! From the moment you walk in, the warm, smoky aroma sets the stage for an unforgettable meal. The brisket is tender and perfectly seasoned, the ribs fall right off the bone, and the pulled pork is packed with flavor. Their sides are just as impressive—creamy mac and cheese, tangy coleslaw, and baked beans that taste homemade.

The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is consistently top‑notch. Briley’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a true barbecue experience. Highly recommend to anyone who loves great food and great service!
