Like 3 Pigs, I had been told by co-workers that Milt’s BBQ in Bellevue was a worth-while place to eat. I disagree; when I went there (about a year ago), the food was slow in coming, expensive, and small. Milt’s floated the meat in sauce, trying to cover the low quality of the meat; it doesn’t work. I would go back so that I could write a better review, but I don’t want to waste my money. The Arby’s it shares a parking lot with is a better dining experience.
With great anticipation, I stopped by 3 Pigs BBQ in Bellevue this weekend. Walking in, you pass a large wall of ribbons and awards; what a let down the meal was. I ordered the sliced beef and chicken dinner with chili and corn on the cob with a drink; the total was $17.50 with tax. After a short wait, the meal arrived. The portions were dainty and floating in sauce; it’s said that poor BBQ is hidden with sauce, but the sauce couldn’t hide this over-cooked extravaganza. The beef was chewy; the chicken rubbery and flavorless; the corn on the cob was watery. I ordered the “hot” version of the dinner, expecting something, well, hot. Nothing in the meal was really warm; the sauce was overpowering and sweet, not tangy or hot in any way. The chili was the spiciest part of the meal, yet it was cooler than Tabasco; it was also grainy and flavorless. The seating is ample and the televisions are nice; the drinks were easy to get to and the refills (apparently) free. The toast that came with the meal was nicely done. Overall: over priced, over cooked, flavorless, small portions. Avoid.
