Cheesy, creamy, and oh-so dreamy, mac and cheese is an American classic if there ever was one.

And then there’s the pasta… we’re hungry already! Washington is full of restaurants that make epic mac and cheese sides, but one fantastic restaurant gets extra points for being the ultimate cheesy haven, and for transforming this delectable side dish into a feast of its own. The next time you’re craving some of the best mac and cheese in Washington, look no further than Wood Shop BBQ in central Seattle.
Without a doubt, when it comes to fantastic barbecue, Wood Shop BBQ takes this beloved cuisine up a few notches.
Inspired by a blending of Kansas City and Texas 'que techniques, this Seattle BBQ joint is quickly becoming a local legend. That might have a little something to do with the massive row of specialty wood-fired smokers hiding in the back, the fresh, hand-trimmed cuts prepared daily and slow-cooked around the clock, and the unique blend of woods used to infuse extra flavor into the meat. No shortcuts here!
