I really, really wanted to love RoRo and have been dying to visit for years. Finally I made it by for dinner and man, what a disappointment. Coming from the South I know good barbecue and this just wasn 't it. I 'm giving three stars mostly because it pains me too much to give less.I had the two meat plate which comes with your choice of two sides or fries. I opted for the ribs and pulled pork with baked beans and mac cheese. The half rack of ribs were soooooo dry. I would have needed a dozen of their sauce containers to moisten it up. The pulled pork was pig pickin style, not chopped and while dry it was easier to sauce up. Baked beans were good, nice spice to them but mac cheese was pastey...
The guy who took my order provided helpful recommendations as I asked his opinion on items I was ordering. I got a sizable tray of food at what I think was a good value. The brisket wasn't super moist but it wasn't dry either, right in between. Not a lot of smoke ring but the blackened crust was delicious. Ribs tasted good and were quite meaty, again not moist but not dry. The chicken thighs were quite dried out and I had to use the sauce or sip tea with it. Sweet smokey sauce is a lot better than the Carolina sauce. The beans had good texture, in a watery sauce which was spicy. The creamy slaw was a good mixture but I should have chosen the tangy version for more flavor. Overall it was a gr...
The service at this restaurant was extremely friendly. The waitress helped us navigate the menu and choose sides that accommodated my gluten, egg, and dairy allergies. Ultimately, we decided on the pulled pork meat (sans bun) with vinaigrette slaw and succotash, as well as the beef brisket sandwich with mac n cheese and succotash. While we enjoyed the food, we found it to be a bit on the pricey side, costing us $56 for lunch with two bottles of water. Due to the cost, we may not return. The casual seating at the outside picnic tables was a nice touch.
We promise the staff that we will tell Memphis, TN about them and here I am! I should've taken a few pics of what I ordered so everyone can see! I ordered a beef brisket sandwich with fries. I saw the prices and thought, well, it was a little high but what the heck, let's try this food out. Believe it or not, the food was fresh and delicious! We couldn't finish it because our sandwiches were pretty big! The staff was so friendly and the service was great! RoRo, we will be back!

I was excited to try out this BBQ restaurant near Ballard, but I was ultimately disappointed. I ordered the pulled pork and brisket, but both were very dry and lacked that traditional smoke flavor. The cornbread was not very good, and the sweet tea did not taste like authentic southern sweet tea (it was overly saturated). The staff was friendly and we enjoyed eating outside at the picnic tables, but I wish the BBQ had been better.
Good food and good variety of bbq. Best customer service from Kaitlyn (sp). She helped us from start to finish. We ordered pulled pork, brisket, chicken, and even the pastrami. All were good, lil bits of fat here and there, but what meat doesn't. I liked the mac n cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, and cornbread. Not a fan of this mac salad though. Give it a try!
I picked up some dinner the other day and I liked it. I wanted to get the beef brisket but they ran out so I got the chicken thigh and smoked pastrami (choice of 2 barbeques) plate. The portion was good enough for me and my wife and I took the jalapeno garlic mashed potato and Mac and cheese on the side. Overall a great place and would definitely come back.
Solid BBQ for Seattle if you've got the craving. If not, save BBQ for another city.No complaints about the food it's generally solid, but it's way overpriced especially for their pork/chicken bbq. Pork bbq sandwiches are $20+ !!! and closer to $30 for a plate.

The staff at this restaurant was very friendly. The ribs, sauces, and mac n cheese were delicious. However, the brisket was too dry and the beans lacked flavor. Overall, it's a good choice for BBQ in the Pacific Northwest.
Waited in the restaurant for 30 mins after the deadline already passed, they gave us incorrectly order (missing items) we only realized when it was too late
