Gabriel's Fire

The food outshines the restaurant and service, both of which were lackluster. It's a basic no-frills bbq joint...they don't have salt and pepper on the table, and the mac-n-cheese begs for both. We had the ribs plate, brisket plate and brisket sandwich with gumbo side. On the plates, a tiny portion cup of BBQ sauce accompanies the included Mac and cheese and choice of slaw, fries or beans. The slaw was fresh, crunchy and delicious! Mac was made with real cheese and quite tasty despite needing salt, pepper and hot sauce. The ribs were smoky and flavorful. Brisket was a bit on the dry side but not too fatty. The sandwich had a nice toasted bun. No ice with waters, and no iced tea option which was surprising. Pass on the gumbo...its nothing like southern gumbo so not worth the small extra c

Best BBQ in this area. We've tried others, but we always end up back here. That should tell you everything.

Always awesome! The brisket is perfectly smoked and the chicken is so tender and delicious! The homemade sauces are outstanding- best BBQ in Washington St

Fantastic fries, 7-8/10 pork, the sauces are good. Legitimately spicy bbq which I appreciate. Bread could definitely be softer for bbq sandwiches, kinda skimpy on the meat portions of the sandwiches. Typical PNW attitude customer service wise but it’s where we are so makes sense.

Been here quite a few times since 2021. We get bummed they're closed on days we crave bbq. This most recent time (Thurs evening) we got a chicken sandwich combo (side fries) and brisket sandwich combo (side fries). $31 & change was the total. Still tasty. My partner isn't partial to the bun, but to each their own.
