Cedar River Smokehouse Barbecue: Authentic Barbecue Experience in Renton, WA

Absolutely delicious BBQ! The staff is so friendly and the peach cobbler is a must have! If taking request, please bring back the spicy honey chicken sandwich :P

We found this gem of a restaurant and oh my goodness did we luck out!!! The food is fantastic, the service was quick and the owner/manager (not sure which) was so so nice! We were there to celebrate our daughter’s birthday, so our group of 8 had a large order! Everything came out hot and tasted amazing! The gentleman even brought us some yummy corn bread and extra macaroni and cheese since it was closing time. So kind! We devoured both! We had the ribs, shredded pork, shredded brisket, chicken and the special corn on the cob. (I can’t recall the name, but it had seasonings on it.) We all loved the food and the atmosphere! We’ll definitely be back!!!

How you gonna to compete with genuinely good bbq?! Best in Renton as far as I’m concerned. I live waaaaay up north but will definitely travel al the way down here for them bbqs right here. Brisket is how it’s supposed to be smoked. Ribs are stellar. Chicken tastes like it was smoked for real. Juicy portions. Don’t take my word for it. Try it yourself. Elote was the one that drew us to this place. Super yum and I’ll be surprised if they don’t think about opening up another one up north (Everett). Y’all might take over the bbq game up there.

I ordered on Doordash - left a review there and leaving one here. Amazing!!!! EVERYTHING was delicious. I had the two meat Choice of 2 Meat Platter with ribs and brisket along with a side of Baked Beans and street corn. oooommgg!!!! The portion sizes were wonderful, meat quality was great and it was packaged nicely. The meats were smokey and oh so tender!!!!!! I am a fan and will be ordring more!!!!!! Great job! Stay consistent!

Got the two meat platter, brisket and ribs with BBQ beans and mac & cheese. Service was excellent, really nice folks. Food was great too.

I ordered from this place for a catering order, having never been here before in my life. The staff were so accommodating and helpful when we arrived to pick up our order and it was done so quick! After the meal was consumed, there was nothing but unanimous praise for the food. The taste, the flavor, the meat falling off the bone was amazing! Everyone loved it so much we just placed another order for an event on Tuesday!

Absolutely delicious. Perfect Super Bowl food! Love the ribs and chopped pork. So easy to order, pick up ready at specified time. Yummy!!

This place was amazingly delicious!! The portions were more than enough. Everything is cooked and seasoned so well. Our family had a variety of wings, Mac and cheese, loaded Mac with brisket (my goodness), street tacos, and a pulled pork sandwich with a hot link on it. Not one complaint about any of it. The peach cobbler deserves its own separate review !! A real BOWL full of wam cobbler with ice cream in top… again In addition to amazing food, staff was just as amazing. Truly kind and welcoming people. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there tonight!
