EDIT: 10/31/18 see photo below closed until further notice besides catering :(I thought it was quite amazing and portions were perfect for the price. The brisket is to die for and they have 1 bbq sauce that is good. They have two types of slaw that are both really good one spicy. I’ll be back for sure. More...

Traveling, like barbecue places, and saw good reviews. Opened the door to the restaurant and it smelled like a barbecue place should. Ordered food and it was prepared in front of us on wood board. Meats were high quality. Careful, “small” sandwiches were packed full. There was one barbecue sauce on table that both my wife and I enjoyed, rare that happens. Had a “barbecue slaw” that mixed well with meal. There were small 2 inch dessert pies, the size made us by one and it was delicious. Owners doing service, very friendly. Overall great barbecue food stop. More...

Been there many times. They closed on the 8th of Oct. For health reasons. I hope everything is okay. I would really like to see someone take this place over.

Hands down the best BBQ in the valley! Meat is fall of the bone tender, the pitmaster's sauces are delicious, and the prices are fair.

Some of the best BBQ around hands down. Prices are a little high compared to other lunch options in town, but there is no way this food will be confused with fast food. Traditional slow cooked southern BBQ with terrific sides. I enjoyed the no mayo coleslaw, made with a vinegar base instead. Friendly service. You can smell the smokey flavors when you walk in the door. More...

Fire & Smoke should receive 10 stars for the quality and quantity of all of the food they serve, their remarkably clean restaurant (and restrooms) and their wonderful and welcoming atmosphere. This little gem of a family-owned restaurant succeeds without frills or gimmicks and can be counted on to satisfy anyone’s appetite for amazingly delicious barbecue with choices of darn good sides. BTW, their barbecue sauce should be a beverage. Head up N. Main St. and turn left on W. 4th Ave. for the very best barbecue and the biggest bang for your buck Ellensburg has to offer! You will not be disappointed. More...

Picked up ribs and brisket for a family BBQ (20 people) and everyone raved about the meat! Rib meat slid off the bone and briscuit was moist and flavorful. Unique and tasty rub combination. Definitely two sauce-covered thumbs up! More...

Picked up trays of ribs and brisket for a family BBQ last month, first time trying out F&S and definitely won’t be the last. They provided great customer service, helping me with the right quantity to feed my expected crowd. We received tons of compliments on the meat, very tender and flavorful - - glad we had a few leftovers to enjoy afterward! Look forward to testing out Taco Tuesday and the rest of the menu. Keep doing what you do, Ellensburg is lucky to have you! More...

Best ribs we've ever had, anywhere, hands down. We go here every time we visit Ellensburg. And the owner is the nicest guy, he comes around and chats like you were long friends.

The BBQ at Fire and Smoke is second to none! Delicious brisket, delicious sauce, delicious sides! This is my new go to stop whenever I pass through Ellensburg.
Make sure you get the cornbread when you stop in. It's crusty and has an amazing flavor.

I can't tell you the last time I walked out of a restaurant feeling like, I'm glad I ate that! We got there too late for anything but brisket which is a great excuse to come back another time. We are from Tacoma but the drive for the best bbq I've had since being in Texas is worth it! We had the beans, Mac and cheese and the potato salad and they were all fantastic. The brisket didn't need any sauce as the flavor of the meat was glorious but I did have a few bites with sauce which was great too. Guess we'll be exploring Ellensburg more now! The service was great and I'm so glad I'm not a vegetarian because I'd hate to have missed this place. Thanks guys! More...

Ok, I'm pretty picky about my BBQ. This place is legit! Had the brisket and pulled pork combo. First, the brisket cried juicy tears of happiness while it was being sliced.
The smoke ring was perfect. I had me with the Carolina style spicy sauce on the side (I recommend this). The pulled pork was moist and flavorful. The mac n cheese and potato salad sides were homemade and on point.
11/10 we'll be back.

Absolutely stellar barbeque! The owners and staff are wonderful people, and know what they're doing. The pulled pork sandwiches are my personal favorite. Throw a little bit of their Cole slaw on top and it's a meal that will keep you going all day! More...

Food was delicious! The brisket was very flavorful and so tender. My one year old son with only two teeth was able to eat almost a quarter of my sandwich, cornbread and beans. He loved it. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the place is cute and clean. We'll be back when ever we're in town! More...

Fire & Smoke catered our wedding this last weekend. It was perfect! David, the owner, was very helpful in helping us tailor a menu to fit our budget, and everything was perfectly prepared and ready to go well before I was time to serve dinner. He and his staff were unobtrusive, and were quick to refill food trays as they became empty or low. They are one of our favorite restaurants, and we would definitely use them again to cater another event. More...
