Morning Star Barbecue and Deli is located at 8855 9th Ave S.W. in the Highland Park neighborhood. Gas is longer pumped, but the mini mart and well-renowned BBQ are in full swing after a seven day hiatus.
Concerned readers contacted the Herald to find out if Morning Star Barbeque and Deli in Highland Park had closed their doors for good last week.
We are happy to announce the answer is no.
They just took a well deserved seven day vacation and are back to creating their highly-regarded brisket, ribs, pulled pork, Philly cheese steaks and burgers the spot is known for.
As one Yelp reviewer put it, “Don’t be fooled by its exterior: Morning Star may look like a broken down gas station mini mart, but inside … is a collection of the best burgers, artisan sandwiches and barbequed meats I’ve had in ages.”
And you can never deny the foody wisdom of a Southerner: “Having grown up in the deep South and eaten my fair share of BBQ and soul food – this place is legit.”
West Seattle Herald Facebook fan (please join us!) Daniel Webster said, “Those BBQ sandwiches are something else (and) during the snowstorm they were open.” Now that’s being there for your neighborhood.
Morning Star Barbeque and Deli is half barbeque goodness, half mini mart. It is located at 8855 9th Ave S.W. (at the northwest corner where 9th and S.W. Henderson St. meet).
