The former Chai House at 5463 Leary Ave NW is now Ballard Best BBQ.
The menu includes chicken, pork, beef, beef short ribs and pork ribs. They also serve bbq sandwiches, hamburgers and salads. The dessert menu lists eight options including Orange Caramel – “white chocolate mousse with orange zest is suspended on a layer of chocolate-caramel and whole macadamia nuts, all tucked inside a crumbly tart shell” and Charlotte Juliet – “a layer of white cake infused with Grand Marnier, a layer of dark chocolate mousse, a layer of raspberry mousse and a raspberry glaze to coat the top.”
According to the menu, “We believe simple ingredients, and using the rights meats will give you a natural tenderness, and delicious taste.” Prices range from $6.45 for one chicken skewer with rice and two sides (potato wedges, baked beans, coleslaw or corn on the cob.”
The hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.
