Restaurant Review: Pecos Pit BBQ
Restaurant:Pecos Pit BBQ
Cuisine:Pork and Beef BBQ Sandwiches
Rating:The ultimate Seattle BBQ joint
Price:$8 for lunch combo (sandwich, beans, drink)
Location:2260 First Ave S, Seattle, WA

I was downtown with Livy running some errands. On our way home (at about 1pm) we stopped for lunch at Pecos Pit BBQ. Pecos Pit is only open 5 days a week from 11am-4pm and will close before 4pm if they run out of food. The Pecos Pit can get crowded early putting a squeeze on the limited parking options, but our arrival at about a quarter after 1 was well timed. We were able to secure a spot right up front and the line was only a couple of people deep.

The menu at Pecos Pit has about 6 items: Pork Sandwich, Beef Sandwich, Sliced Beef, Beans, Chips, Drink. I ordered up the Pork Sandwich (mild for sharing with Livy), a cup of beans, and a fountain drink. The sandwich is a mouthful... I would estimate that it weighs about 12-14 ounces (perhaps even 16). There was plenty to share with Livy; and since Livy loves meat, she ate quite a bit of it actually. The sauce has a mild flavor - mellow and savory - not too heavy on the vinegar or the sweetness. It hits a sweet spot. The beans are as good as the sandwich... the same sauce on the sandwich is used to steep and tenderize the beans. The flavor of the beans and the sandwich are too close to each other though; I would have rather had a side of cole slaw, but no such option is available at Pecos Pit (and the nearest KFC is over in West Seattle). Ah well. Still and excellent BBQ option; probably the best in Seattle.
