    We were all sad when Homeskillet left us, but welcome HomeSchool BBQ in its place! It's got the home skillet vibes and banging food. The service is top notch and with the close quarters you are able to interact with the staff. My wife had the Mac n cheese with pork belly. It was creamy, cheesy and everything a Mac n cheese should be. I got the brisket meal, it was tender, flavorful and oh so good. We wish we could eat everything that's on the menu, we will definitely be back and 12/10 recommend. This is a hidden gem that should be found.

    Such a fun and welcoming environment! The staff is incredible and the food is absolutely to die for. I nearly cried into my pork belly and Bloody Mary. 100/10, I’ll definitely be back.

    Thumbs up from a Texan via NC! My husband REALLY liked the Brisket Biscuit sandwich! Super friendly staff. Plenty of non-meat options. Excited to go back and try some pickles, roasted veggies and potato salad. The Strawberry Lemonade was beautiful and quite refreshing. Pro Tip: pick up some Mac Salad for all your Summer picnics. It will be a family fave!

    One of the best spots in Bellingham. Amazing people who own the place, amazing food and cocktails and such a fun environment. Their pulled pork biscuit is so good. The best mac salad and mac and cheese. If you go during the spring time, you get to enjoy Aaron’s amazing garden patio. The best spot to enjoy a cocktail!!

    First class deliciously tender bbq meat with fresh, tasty sides. Loved the eclectic and cheerful atmosphere and enjoyed meeting the super friendly owners. We had thick juicy brisket and crisp top pulled pork, both absolutely worthy of a return trip!!

    Soooo good! Very happy to have a solid BBQ spot in our neighborhood. Hubby and I split a full rack of ribs with Mac salad and Mac n cheese. The sauces are very unique/delicious and the meat was falling off the bone. Hearty portions. Also had a sweet dog zone and outdoor patio, perfect on a Bellingham summer evening!

    Having been one of the *FIRST customers of HomeSkillet, I was thrilled to see this location taken on by this friendly, talented Homeschool BBQ team. Back in the day, HS would be my first food outing after traveling the world. Keeping with my tradition, Homeschool's Facebook/Instagram posts brought me in for lunch. I was the first customer of the day today and treated myself to the special Memphis Muffaletta sandwich. I skipped breakfast just to indulge in this gorgeous beast. And I don't feel guilty due to the Bloody Mary and an Imperial Oatmeal Stout. See the pictures to absorb the creative juices flowing from this kitchen. This is the time to take advantage of the multiple seating options: garden, awning, or indoors. There is plenty of space. Engaging conversation, thoughtful service, and week-changing sandwich. As I walked home, I noticed other Sunnyland restaurant options a bit more busy than Homeschool. Whatcom/4th corner peeps, be sure to stop by for lunch, happy, and dinner. This restaurant deserves all the love and attention as its neighbors. Canadian visitors, this is where you should stop off before connecting with our region. The Bloody Mary is more of a Caesar experience, so you'll feel at home. Let's share the love and the brisket.

    Love some home school bbq!! Cucumber mimosas… max and cheese and brisket. Brisket plate. Pork belly. Their biscuit sandwiches are lovely. You really can’t go wrong. Decor is gorgeous and the owners are absolutely the sweetest. Grateful to have such a community oriented delicious bbq spot in town!!

    We stopped in for the Wings special on a Sunday, and boy, were they good. Good luck deciding which excellent BBQ sauce to choose! I chose the Blue, knowing that I'll be back to try others next time. Take a look at the menu online to read the descriptions. Mine was seriously finger-licking good. The staff are friendly, efficient and fun.

    Yummy Brisket, the Kimchi stew was also delicious and vegan. Funky atmosphere and great service.

    Had an amazing meat and veggie skillet breakfast during the special one-weekend return of HomeSkillet. Large portion of fried potatoes mixed with sausage, bacon, red and green peppers, mushrooms, cheese, eggs, and more. Deliciously satisfying.

    Amazing food made with a lot of heart! !!Warning!! You CANNOT get the brisket to-go as of march 17 2023 - it's too popular!! I met Dan and Chris and they told me their story. These guys were great to chat with, and their BBQ backs up their ambition :) they were happy to geek out about their food with me. I tried the potato salad, macaroni salad, the brisket, (THE BRISKET!!) and the kimchi stew which I got to-go for my wife. All of them were very good. Very impressive. The brisket had a diverse range of texture and excellent flavor. The BBQ sauce was great - my favorite was the sweet mustard. The kimchi stew was the dark horse that really stood out to me. They also have BOILED PEANUTS which my southern friends have raved about for years. I finally got to try some. They're delicious! All of our cocktails were good too. No beers on tap. I highly recommend stopping by. The owners are charismatic and the food was great. Everything was clean. Not pretentious. They said they're looking forward to trying some exciting fusion BBQ once they've been open for a little longer. I can't wait!

    10/10. The food was phenomenal and the service was great. I got the brisket biscuit sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The homemade biscuit was flavorful and had a great texture. The brisket was melt in your mouth tender and taste was out of this world. Also the Banjo sauce was next level!!

    Best BBQ I have ever had. Been to all 50 states and nothing compares. Drinks are phenomenal too. And definitely get the boiled peanuts, ribs, pork belly and pulled pork. Skip Jack's, come here. Seriously.

    I'm in love. Their flavors, bbq, biscuits, sauces, and staff were all on point. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more menu items. The brisket, mac n cheese, and potato salads were amazing! The owner was friendly too. You can tell a lot of thought and hard work are going into the food, and it's all made from scratch. Get in early before they run out of popular items.

    My wife and I finally made it to Homeschool BBQ today, and wow. Just wow. Well, OK. I can say more than that. First, I’m so glad they kept the chaotically fun decor from Homeskillet. And Aaron and Chris really keep the Homeskillet vibe alive - it makes me so happy. Second, the food. I got a brisket biscuit sandwich with a side of roasted veggies, while my wife got a pulled pork biscuit with mac salad and German potato salad. We also got an order of mixed pickles to share. The pickles came in a little glass cup which was packed with briny, tart, sweet, and slightly tongue-tingling goodies. We had pickled cauliflower, little tomatoes, daikon (radish), carrots, cucumbers, asparagus, green beans, and jalapeños, all of which were good (except the jalapeño, which we were both too scared to try) and with subtle differences in the pickling. Our sandwiches came with a generous amount of meat, barely contained by a very good biscuit - maybe not as fluffy and crumbly as some, but for a sandwich these are just the thing. The brisket was tender and packed with flavor, and my wife enjoyed the pulled pork - if it’s anything like Homeskillet’s pullled pork, it’s good stuff indeed. While I didn’t think my sandwich needed the help, I did try some of the barbecue sauces we had been brought. The Betty’s sauce was good, but the Banjo’s (Carolina Gold-style) was excellent with the brisket. The roasted veg was good, and the kale in particular was nice and tender. I also tried some of my wife’s mac salad, which was surprisingly light for mac salad. Overall? I’d say we’ll have to come back, both for the food and for the vibe. Give them a go and you’ll understand why.
