Stan’s Bar-B-Q: Savor Authentic Kansas City BBQ in Issaquah

This Texan approves of this Kansas City style BBQ! I got the jalapeño cheddar sausage, brisket sandwich and baby back ribs. Mild sauce was nice. I’m taking the leftovers home and making a large baked potato

I eat stans once a year for a company bbq and this year the brisket was so damn good. 10/10

Excellent BBQ! The best pulled pork I’ve had. The ribs were cooked well and the meat fell off the bone. Do yourself a favor and get the creamed corn as your side. Our waitress was stellar and kept me tipped off in tea and BBQ sauce. I enjoyed the KC theming of the restaurant. Let’s Go Chiefs!!!

Ordered a Touchdown and 5 meatballs! Let's just say, I had to settle for the field goal. So much delicious food I took home! Maybe 3oz of the brisket and 1 bratwurst (plus 5 meatballs) was all I could get through. You also get 2 sides. I chose the creamed corn and potato salad. Both are great palate cleansers along with the included two hamburger buns (I only got through half of one.) You ALWAYS need a good palate cleanser with anything BBQ. The flavors of the bratwurst + brisket were smokey, flavorful, and cooked well! The meatballs were a combination pork/beef, mixed with peppers and onions. Those didn't overwhelm the meat, but *accentuated* the flavor of pork and beef meatballs! The texture was perfect! I'd recommend easy on the sauce that goes on top to really taste that flavor. As an individual, you WILL have leftovers--and that is a great thing! Atmosphere is low-key on a Sunday evening, seat yourself, and enjoy! I chose the booth. The bar is also well-stocked... but that fight will be for another day. 5/5 Would recommend! First time here, but this joint must be crazy during football season; it's Chiefs Country! Of course they support the Seahawks, but I'm a Niners fan so whatever to both! But yes, this is a good family spot too! In old town Issaquah, this is a laid-back area with easy parking! Drop on by!

This place was empty on a Wednesday at 1 P.M., only 3 other people showed up while we were there. The only reason we can think of is the atmosphere and the food prices because everything else was perfect! We ordered a combo plate each. The food was served relatively quickly hot, juicy and well presented. My wife did end up sending the “Mac and Cheese” back as the pasta was way overcooked to the point of mushiness. The bread is a slice of store sliced bread and not made in house. The baby back ribs were meaty and they gave us both one extra. The brisket was hot, juicy perfectly cooked and smoked. Potato salad was good, but on the sweet side, coleslaw chunky cut but nicely dressed. The sauces provided was a home run, both the sweet and the spicy. If you are finicky about properly cooked/smoked ribs, this is your go to place! Parking close was easy behind the restaurant, but….unless you are a Kansas City Chiefs football fan, the decor will disappoint and doesn’t prove to be comfortable. Bathroom are OK if you don’t mind unisex. They are a little stingy with the little cups of bbq sauce. And removing charges to your order proves challenging for there computer software. For the money they are charging for this food, some upgrades are in order.

The was delicious. Very good menu with lots of choices. I had the fullback which included half a chicken, 4ribs, 2 sides. My friend had the chief which included brisket, 4ribs and 2 sides. The quantities were large we both took leftovers home. My sides were baked beans and potato salad. My friend had cream corn and baked beans..after tasting the corn I wish I had ordered it instead of potato salad. Wish I lived closer I would eat here a lot. Plus service was excellent

First time visiting, we ordered Linebacker because we can try both brisket and pull pork. The two sides were coleslaw and cream corn. I like the spicy BBQ sauce. It added more favor to the meat. The brisket pieces were thick and I can use the fork to cut them into pieces. I did not taste smoke flavor on the meat. I just added a lot of bbq sauce. The coleslaw was okay. Cream corn, the corn seems old but the cream was good. The serving side could be little more. They have most of NFL games which was nice. Price is typical BBQ place $18-$20 for sandwiches. The combo is $35-$50. The service was good. She was very sweet. Parking is in the back. The inside feels like other sport bar but serve Kansas City bbq.

I really enjoyed the feint sight and smell of wonderful real wood hickory hanging in the air as we walked in. The atmosphere is down to earth, staff were very friendly in a "you're family" warm kind of way, and I was impressed by the bar collection but was unable to try a drink due to working/lunch break. As for the food, everything was fantastic, one of the more proper BBQ Washington has to offer, great smoke flavor, texture, juiciness, even salt level was on point, also worth noting that they have some of the best baked beans I've ever had. loadedwith pork and spices,they're next level. The only reason I give 4 stars is because they are very pricey for the quantity. Is stans awesome? Yes. 100%. are they $31 per lunch awesome? No.... I'd happily pay $18-20 in this area for the quality and quantity once in a while but not on the regular. Otherwise I have only good things to say about the place.
