According to a recent permit filing, Mammoth will be opening soon in Uptown, located at 220 Mercer Street.
A representative of Mammoth was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.
While overall information about Mammoth’s opening has yet to be confirmed, according to the company website, “We have temporarily moved to Bitterroot, our sister BBQ spot in Ballard.”
According to a recent article from the Seattle Times, “After a dozen-plus years as a local barbecue favorite — plus some great pink pickled deviled eggs with bacon (which made my list of favorite things last year) — Bitterroot will close its doors in Ballard permanently at the end of the month. “It is bittersweet for us,” co-owner Hannah Carter says.”
“The sweet part is that the sandwich element of the Ballard space, known as Mammoth and originally on Eastlake, will be opening soon in the former Teatro ZinZanni space across from Seattle Center — and that almost all of Bitterroot’s staff is coming along. “We are super excited to be part of the community, culture, and events at Seattle Center, and the closure is the right move for our family,” said Carter, who runs Bitterroot/Mammoth with her husband, Grant.”
“Thanking patrons profusely for their support, the Carters “invite you to join us in celebrating this last month of Bitterroot … to raise our glasses high and toast to the wonderful times we’ve shared.” And have some more of the deviled eggs — Bitterroot’s sold more than 10,000 over the years, approximately the number that one wants to eat in one sitting.”
Another article from Seattle Met written back in 2015 describes Mammoth as “Exhibit B is Mammoth on Eastlake, whose obsession with sandwiches named after all things primal is rivaled only by its obsession with beer: 31 taps gushing out Belgians and porters and lagers and ales; the perfect accompaniments to sandwiches filled with fried chicken and pork belly and roasted red peppers (the Predator), or smoked pork, ham, swiss, charred onions, pickles, Dijon, and aioli (the Saber-Tooth).”
“Each comes with homemade chips and should be enjoyed with a rich Belgian or porter or strong cider; kids (who are allowed, but not behind the bar rail) may choose housemade root beer or vanilla bean sodas, which taste like sticky feels. All adding up to exactly what you want to eat and drink, together at last, in a neighborhood that’s on the way to everywhere,” an additional article from Seattle Met states.
