Lil Red Takeout & Catering

Best restaurant in Seattle. So grateful for it's presence. Quality ingredients and heavenly flavor. You could eat here once a week for a year and never eat the same thing twice. Everything soul food should be. Tastes like love. My go to is brisket or jerk chicken with Mac or Garlic Mashed Potatoes and cornbread. Gotta get the Frankenstein Kool aid or Sorrel too.

Best BBQ in Seattle! Everything I ate was amazing. Curry chicken, rice, and peas! The rib tips didn't make it home, as I ate them within a block of leaving Reds. Amazing customer service and amazing Kool-Aid! That fire Raspberry Lemonade. Ox tail gravy was fire! Didn't spend as much as some of these overrated places around here. Mac and cheese was delicious! Extremely happy with every aspect of my experience.

An Unforgettable Jamaican Culinary Journey at Lil Red’s Takeout and Catering From the moment I stepped into Lil Red’s, I was immediately transported to the heart of Jamaica, by the mouthwatering aroma that promised an unforgettable culinary experience. The star of the show was the Jerk Chicken. Each bite was a symphony of flavors – the spicy kick of the jerk seasoning beautifully balanced with a subtle sweetness and smokiness. The chicken was so tender, it nearly fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. It's evident that it had been marinated for hours, absorbing all the goodness of the spices. The staff at Lil Red’s were warm and welcoming, ensuring that the dining experience was nothing short of excellent. Their passion for authentic Jamaican cuisine shines through in every dish. In conclusion, Lil Red’s Takeout and Catering is a gem, offering a taste of Jamaica that's full of flavor and melt-in-your-mouth BBQ tenderness. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out on a truly authentic and delicious Jamaican culinary experience.

Everything was fanatics, we ordered the chicken meal, jerk in bone, with red beans and rice and jams. The second meal we ordered was their burnt ends with macaroni and cheese and greens. The last meal we ordered was their brisket with garlic mash potatoes and baked beans. We also ordered a lb of sausages, we got two chicken and two pork, one barbaque and the other jerk, in both meats. The food was excellent, everything was cooked to perfection. Most the time when you order burnt ends, theirs bones in them and areas of gristle. Not these, their thick, no bones or gristle, nice and tender. The brisket is really good, very tender, thick slices and a good portion. The jerk chicken was good, I'm not a big fan of spice, I can only handle small doses of heat. The jerk chicken wasn't so spicy that I couldn't eat it, it's very good, but does have a small amount of heat. My favorite side is their Mac and cheese, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Their greens are really good, they do have a small amount of heat. Truly, you can't go wrong, all of their sides we tried were really good. If you want sausages added to your order, you'll need to call to order them, it's worth the call. All the sausages were good, I think the chicken barbaque is my favorite, but I'd be happy to order any of them. Their prices and portions are great, I live 20 miles away, but will 100% be a returning customer.

Lil Red catered my birthday party for July 23rd at Golden Gardens Bathhouse and they went above and beyond! They were communicative, engaging, and kept us updated about where they were at, who would be there, and what to expect. I cannot gush more about the food, oh my effing god. The mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were so good my grandma took bowls of it home with her afterward (my grandma LOVED it, so high praise), everyone was raving about the brisket and burnt ends, the jerk chicken, and the pork ribs. The food got demolished by my guests and it was so, so, so plentiful. Thank you to Monica for being absolutely amazing in taking care of us and making my birthday fabulous!
