Drove past this food truck and noticed the bbq smell. After seeing consistent customers I decided to stop by and give them a try. I was skeptical at first being the area isn't particularly know for good bbq. Needless to say I am glad I stopped. I actually ordered here twice now as I write this review. The first time I had the rib meal which I got the bbq sauce on the side, I had their two standard sides (potato salad and baked beans). All meals come with the standard side and there is a $1 upcharge to change the side. I enjoyed the ribs they were tender and moist, I honestly didn't even need bbq sauce. Both sides were good as well. My second visit I got the chicken meal and it good as well. I recommend this place if you're looking for good bbq . Lastly, the customer service was great. On my first visit they forgot to add an extra side I payed for in addition to my meal. I was unable to go back and called and left a message. I received a call back and was able to pick up the side the next day.

Still the BEST PULLED PORK SANDWICH I have ever had. First time was what 7 years ago....I thought gee about 10 bucks...is that high...WELL I was STILL enjoying it the next day for lunch. It was HUGE. Totally worth it. In fact tastes so good I'd pay more. Over the years Clyde and his wife have done a fantastic job. Even had a big fire damage year or so ago...but they made it though that BIG PROJECT. MY SYSTEM / SUGGESTION is buy the Pulled Pork sandwich for NOW...then get at least a pound(if they have enough) for several meals at home. I say I share some with friends....but they have to be special friends...it is so good it is hard to give it up. I warm it up and put a pile on a salad. Gad...when I make the salad I am popping fork fulls into my mouth....you know like hot chocolate chip cookies where you are supposed to let them cool for dessert.??.? no where did this 4 cookies go? It is a ways for me to drive down Rainier from I-90 area...BUT so worth it. Never a problem parking ...right there or over next door at MaClendons Hardware...where you can find anything during your easy wait. ALWAYS such a nice family affair. Thanks Clyde and April. Love, Brogan from Seattle....gad my mouth is watering and it is almost midnight and HAD dinner already.

Stopped here after working in Seattle all week. Waiting for my flight and didn't want airport food. Ridiculously good bbq. Sides are yummy and the ribs are very good. And I'm a Texas girl! Really good. I recommend if you are in the area.

I just picked up food after River Days. I was craving southern collard greens and Clyde's delivered! The potato salad was perfect, beans amazing, ribs tender.

Decent bbq for Renton area - maybe the best in the area hence the higher star ranking. Brisket and ribs had a good smoke ring (not overpowering in smoke but definitely there). Unfortunately, they were dry. BBq sauce is a must to mask the dry meat. Hot link is Louisiana style spicy. I really liked the potato salad with the "riced" potato bits in it; I never had potato salad that way before. The cornbread was dry but good and the baked beans weren't special but still delicious.

Anyone who gets the craving for bbq in the Seattle area likely already knows that there are very limited options available. I was pleasantly surprised to find Clyde's Southern when visiting Renton. I didn't honestly know if any bbq was going to score above 3 stars for me in Washington but Clyde's managed to barely scrape by. For real, 3.5 is more accurate but hey! I'll take it! For starters the sandwiches are a fair $10 and each sandwich busting full of smokey, tender, juicy bbq. I really don't prefer brisket to be chopped, so that was a bit off putting and I wondered why they did this. The meat is so tender, that mixed with the sauce and a soft bun, the sandwich is very 1 texture and really needs something with a crunch like a pickle. Sides are painfully overpriced at $5.50 each so I skipped on that. The bbq sauce is a real winner here. Mouth watering smokey! A bit too sweet so it may upset your stomach so be aware of that. Overall Im impressed with the quality coming out of this truck in a parking lot. Ill be back.

My husband, two littles and I shared two plates for about $40 and even had some leftovers for lunch the next day! We chose the ribs for one plate and brisket for the other. Both came with a good portion of BBQ sauce, slice of cornbread, scoop of potato salad, & good portion of baked beans. My husband definitely liked the flavor of the ribs and the brisket was your standard from a good BBQ place. Clyde's is definitely a gem for the otherwise hard to come by legit BBQ options in the Pacific Northwest. Not sure it's my favorite to be honest but definitely decent and appreciated the value! I think the potato salad stood out to me as the most unique of the things we tried. Everything else was on par with what I'd expect from a legit BBQ place.
