Most places chargeHow we count
Like with like, from real menus
- 10 Seattle area restaurants: 8 from their own websites and 2 from their own online ordering pages.
- No delivery-app prices. When we checked, DoorDash ran 0 to 15% higher than the restaurant, most often about 10%.
- Seattle has few BBQ menus online, so this index adds nearby BBQ spots in Lake Forest Park and Renton.
- Brisket and pulled pork are per pound. Per pound, plates and sandwiches are never mixed.
- Sandwiches with a side and sandwiches alone are separate lines.
- Ribs are per half or full rack, no sides. Rack sizes vary, so compare rib counts too.
- Sides count each place's smallest size. Cornbread is per piece or per side, as listed.
- Meats sold without a clear unit are left out. So are lunch prices.
- Each place counts once per item. Median means half charge more, half charge less.
- "Most places charge" is the middle half of places. Range is the lowest to the highest price we found. A price shows only when 3 or more places list it.
- Restaurants outside Seattle area are left out. Neighborhoods so far: Central District, Columbia City, Fremont, Green Lake, Hillman City, Lake Forest Park, Pioneer Square, Renton, SoDo, West Seattle.
- Menu prices before tax, tip and service charges. Updated monthly.
