I grew up on this place! If you like sweet BBQ, this is the spot. PERIOD! The best way to eat caveman is showing up during slow times. They take more time warming and toasting your food. It is always good, but it is better when the staff isn't as rushed .
The food if slats Amazing!!!! The service is always friendly and willing to hep you with and advice on what to get. This is one of our go too places for local good BBQ!!
Classic smoke meats. Nothing fancy about this place, but excellent smoked pork, chicken, and beef. Also excellent potato salad! Have had Caveman smoke ducks and goose that I have brought them, always done to perfection.
Cave Man Kitchen - Kent, WA. LOVE me some Cave Man! Their French Dip is my favorite. Dragon wheels are AMAZING as well. I am a weekly regular. Fabulous food & stellar staff. :)
NOT closed!. Re-opened in December 2012 and back under the management of the owner Dick Donley's daughter Roseanna's watchful and caring eye. All the original recipes are back and the place is hopping.. turning out some awesome smoke-roasted fare.
In it's 41st year.. the place is back to it's former glory. I had the ham sandwich with gingered chutney on crispy french bread.. it was amaze!
Truly Sad. The Cave Man has been an iconic valley fixture for decades and a truly wonderful place to buy smoked meats--whether it was by the piece, in a sandwich, or an entire bird.
The trip from Seattle was always worth it...a real loss.
Great. I always get the pulled pork sandwich with cheese.
Name of the places says it all.
You will eat like a caveman.
MEAT! Good too.
YUMM. Good bbq, best in kent. Had the pulled pork and it hit the spot, wife had ribs and was verry satisfied
I'd never been here before, despite having worked just down the road for years. I was excited to try them, and they had a certain reputation and expectations that preceded them for me, that they easily exceeded when I got there. I only wish it was a tad less expensive, so I could eat there more often. But being that my budget issues are not their fault, I didn't hold this against them. What you get for what you pay is more than adequate, and the flavors are BOMB. I got their smoked chicken bacon ranch sandwich, which is HIGHLY recommended! They have a cute covered outdoor seating area with a rad mural to look at, and the owners were extremely friendly and chatted up their customers!
The reason for 4 stars is because we watched the person handling our food with her mask hanging well below her nose and most of her mouth, while doing lots of heavy breathing and talking to other staff as she was hustling to get the orders out. After 2+ years dealing with covid variants, it just astounds me that so many people still refuse to wear their masks the right way, especially when handling other people's food. 😬
Delightfully messy and delicious. Everything is home made, even the bread for the sandwiches (which is just the right amount of crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside). Meats melt in your mouth and are full of flavor. Just make sure you get enough napkins
