Danny's BBQ & Catering is a straightforward barbecue joint tucked along Silverdale Way, catering mostly to locals looking for hearty, smoke-infused meals without any fuss. Stepping inside, you’ll find a modest, calming dining area — nothing flashy, but enough to sit back and enjoy a casual lunch or early dinner, especially after a morning of errands or appointments nearby.

The menu leans into classic barbecue staples with well-portioned options like baby back ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and chicken (though it’s worth calling ahead as they sometimes run out of popular items). The standout here is the authentic smoky flavor that penetrates the meat, rather than simply layering on sauce, which appeals to those who appreciate true barbecue technique. Sides like smoked macaroni and cheese, baked beans, and cornbread round out the experience, often feeling homemade and balanced — a touch of pickled onions on the zucchini & peppers adds a subtle punch that keeps the meal from feeling one-note.

This spot works well for anyone craving genuine barbecue in a no-pressure setting. It’s suited for solo diners, families, or small groups aiming for a relaxed meal without the fuss of a high-end restaurant. The lunchtime crowd reflects locals who know their BBQ and come for reliable quality portions without waiting long. The atmosphere is quiet and understated, making it a practical stop when you’re in the Silverdale area and don’t want to stray far from familiar routines.

Expect modest, affordable pricing and friendly service that keeps the pace moving, ideal for working lunches or laid-back weekend meals. Danny’s isn’t about crafting an experience, but more about delivering honest barbecue dishes that hold their own alongside bigger, flashier competitors in the region.

Wow, color me impressed!! I had the 1/2 pound baby back ribs meal. The price and portions were good, but the taste? AMAZESAUCE!! Juicy, fall-off-the-bone ribs with a deep smokey flavor. We're not talking about some painted on sauce, but legit smoke magically infused into the meat. I had the zucchini & peppers side: the garnish of pickled onions adds a new dimension of flavor to an already tasty side, and the veggies were perfectly cooked. I also had the coleslaw and found it good, although not quite as sweet as I prefer. I sampled my wife's smoked mac & cheese, and let me assure you: this is not just a box of Kraft with BBQ sauce! It had a hint of the smokey tastiness that the ribs had, as well as tender tidbits of meat. The corn bread had good flavor but was a bit dry and needed some butter. And, this place was busy! We dined in, and despite there always being at least one person in line, the service was very fast.

I have been living in Silverdale for over a year and am bummed I didn't come here sooner! The brisket is delicious! The mac-n-cheese is delicious, and it is a calm and small dining area. I love coming here. Anytime you want BBQ, this is definitely the spot.

On an afternoon outing from my Dad's doctor's appointment we Stopped in at Danny's BBQ near Home Depot in Silverdale for lunch. We had the rib plate that cost a little under $18 per plate. It was worth the cost to get true ribs and it appeared as if the sides were home made. I had the smoked macaroni and cheese and cornbread. The cornbread was a bit plain but tasted alright with honey and butter that came with it. Now the smoked macaroni and cheese was not only an original idea but had a delicious flavor of smokiness and loaded with cheese. The ribs, to me, were slightly overdone but burst with juicy meat that practically fell off the bones! The BBQ sauce, also seemed made right there, added a delightful layer of taste to an already mouth watering meal!

We were in the area running some errands and shopping, working up an appetite so we decided to look for a local restaurant to try rather than wait until we got back home. I came across Danny's BBQ on Yelp and after reading the good reviews, decided to stop by and try. When we walked in the employee greeted us and informed us that they were out of chicken for the day, which was fine because we already knew what we wanted. We placed our order, decided to dine in so we sat down at a table and waited for our food to be brought out (which took maybe 10 minutes)! I ordered the pulled pork meal - comes with Texas toast and two sides... I opted for the Mac and cheese and baked beans. My husband ordered the ribs meal with the same two sides, I tried to get a picture of his food - but he was already digging in. The pulled pork was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The texture was spot on as well, with some softer pieces and some harder pieces. The Mac and cheese was so flavorful, the texture was spot on (not mushy whatsoever or dry). The beans... were phenomenal. You know how some BBQ place have your typical "canned beans" baked beans taste, not these! They almost tasted like chili beans but had pulled pork pieces throughout. The plate as a whole was great and did not disappoint! It is a smaller restaurant with only a handful of tables inside and a few picnic benches outside (for nicer weather days) but luckily alot of customers were ordering to go, so it was just us dining in. Overall, from the food to the service - we'll definitely be back to Danny's BBQ and recommend to anyone!

Solid bbq, got the brisket and smoked Mac n cheese and bbq beans. Potions were good and flavor was pretty good also. Looking for bbq I don’t think you’d be disappointed if you stopped by Danny’s bbq!

Food tastes well. Probably the best BBQ food I've had in the Pacific Northwest. The inside is a bit cramped, but they do have outside seating as well. And last time we went, their soda machine was broken. Coming from the south, the only thing this place is lacking is fries and sweet tea. My WIFE also thinks the coleslaw doesn't compare. My WIFE recommends the pulled pork.

Superb baby back ribs. Fall off the bone. Very meaty. Best in the county. Friendly staff. Nice but cramped small seating area. Great for carry out. Closed Mondays.

Incredible and affordable wedding catering! They did an amazing job on the food- it was so so so good. We had about 60-70 guests but we paid for the catering for 100 people and it was still the best option for Kitsap memorial state park. They were timely and everyone loved the food.
