603 Bar-B-Q has moved to its new permanent location on Loudon Road in the former Pit Road Lounge. They outgrew their former spot across town. In May 2026, they are renovating the permanent building and operating out of their food trailer in the parking lot. Expect long lines here before opening time. The BBQ here is definitely worth the wait. read more

Best BBQ! I'd go so far as to say not just best BBQ in Concord, but that I've ever had. We waited about 45 minutes in line and some things were sold out by the time we got to the counter. I was impressed with how courteous the guys taking and delivering orders were and how fast they made the process. The thing that made this place really shine is that every item, from each piece of meat, to every side and even the desserts/biscuits was spot on made to perfection. Hopefully they expand and keep the quality because it's a little chilly waiting in line outside. But definitely a winning spot! read more

The food was amazing and perfect. The service was great and friendly. The place was clean and family friendly. This place is great to go and I would come back. read more

Triple yum. Two businesses in a truly awesome working symbiotic relationship. 603 BBQ and Lithermans Brewing, right next to each other and each providing truly superb food and drinks respectively. You can actually get your brews next door, stand in line, and there is a table where you can temporarily place your brew in the no man's land between the two businesses, before going to sit outside in the ample outdoor areas. The area is interestingly industrial but both places seem so popular that it's hard to believe. We tried their tacos and the Mac & cheese. Both superb! And we added a side Pork Belly ration. What came out was in a large tray. The tacos were succulent, lots and lots of meat, onions, cheese, and lettuce. Delicious. The Mac and Cheese was spectacular, a seemingly bottomless barrel of Mac and Cheese covered in shredded barbecue brisket. Yummy.... The mood, inside and outside, is cheerful and festive. The waitstaff took our orders into the Litherman brewery so we wouldn't have to go back to the store. What a class act. Bottom line - worth a trip. Seriously. read more

Repeat customer here! This place is the best BBQ around. My boyfriend lived in Texas for years and said this is "real Texas BBQ". Get there early, they open at noon and there is typically a line. They close when they are sold out. I think they pretty much always sell out. We have sampled everything and it's all pretty amazing. I love the pulled pork and brisket and normally get them on nachos. He gets the giant sampler platter each time. I haven't had the sides but he's loved them all. Note for people with allergies - they are very transparent about ingredient and cross-contamination. I'm wheat allergy and have been OK eating the brisket which doesn't use wheat ingredients. I've also been ok with the pulled pork (I think there is wheat in the sauce). Both are totally exposed to wheat in the smoker, it is not dedicated. This would NOT be safe for celiac. read more

603 BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

I headed to Concord NH for the day with my son for his Fine Arts Competition, so I looked up something not fast food, and 603 Bar-B-Q showed up. At first I was worried about possible lines (as we had a small window for our lunch). It helped that I came as soon as they opened. I was the second person in line in this small quaint bbq place (the line formed quickly afterwards). Like most bbq places, it is a bit pricey. Just the two of us, it turned out to be $80 for the sampler, pulled pork nachos, and 2 drinks. There were cheaper meals (sandwiches, meals, around $20) if you're price conscious. Price aside, lemme tell you: it is fantastic! In the sampler we chose the pulled pork, brisket, and burnt ends, mac and cheese (2) and cornbread. The highlight is most definitely the burnt ends - sweet delicious bits of meaty and fatty goodness. The burnt ends are served in a sauce, which is the first time I've had them that way, but boy were they addictive - I would have canned the pulled pork for double had I known its majesty. Pro tip: call ahead if you are looking for their smoked turkey leg - the guy in front of me tried to order it, but it turns out they don't always make them. If I lived in the area, this would be in rotation. Will miss you, 603! read more

ABSOLUTELY FIRE! We came on a Thursday for lunch and there was a line before opening!! All the flavors are so good. The brisket is so tender and soft. It literally melts in your mouth. We also got the Barbacoa which was hands down my favorite. The sausage was my least favorite but still overall solid. The elote corn and the corn bread added different flavors to the mix. You order, sit down and they bring the food to you. It's very causal in there and all the staff are really friendly. I WOULD 100% come back. read more

Very hyped still! We came right around 12 noon and there was quite a line. Waited about an hour total probably between the line and wait for the food once we ordered. We got a cheddar jalapeño sausage, brisket, pulled pork, and turkey. The turkey and sausage was my favorite, then the brisket, then the pulled pork. Felt like the meat lacked seasoning and also wasn't super tender. The different barbecue sauces also weren't very distinct. We got slaw, beans, Mac and cheese, and banana pudding. The slaw was good but nothing to write home about, the beans were way too sweet for us, and the Mac was on the drier side and wicked smokey. The banana pudding was mostly just pudding with whipped cream on top and crushed nilla wafers. Seating in the adjacent brewery was convenient. Over all it was fine! Wouldn't necessarily wait in line for it again but I do think the sausage and turkey was worth returning for read more

Tough to find in back of an industrial park, and it's next door to Litherman's Brewery, who'll let you eat the barbecue in there. Ditto on outside benches in the summer, where you can see the two old-school smokers at work. You order over-the-counter and take your food to the table of choice (including 4 inside the barbecue joint), or your car. Smoked Turkey: Elite. The best I have had outside of Texas and far and away the best I've had in New England and New York. Luscious texture, strong briney flavor and natural poultry flavor with lesser but noticeable contributions from smoke. And juicy, which you can't say about most barbecue restaurant turkey. I know what you're thinking: who wants to go to a barbecue joint for turkey? Yeah, yeah, but trust me, it's worth it. Get it on a 3-meat, 3-side combo and your bet is hedged. Brisket: Elite and probably top 3 for all of New England. (As a point of reference, I've had Messy Mike's, Rusty Can, BT's, Hoodoo Brown, and theirs is up there with all of them.) Bark is still crunchy and has lots of salty rub flavor. Inside, the meat is tender (even the flat), juicy and slightly smoky. There's some extra fat, but easily trimmed away and given the generous portion size, a minor detail. Sometimes you get a few burnt ends thrown in. Quality has been high on all three visits. Pork Ribs: There's a light glaze on top that makes them sweeter than the Texas style the joint exudes, and there's a bit of a maply breakfast sausage flavor. On one visit, very fresh; on two other visits, a little longer in the tooth. All visits, good texture, moist and coming easily off the bone without falling off or being mushy. Overall, good, but can't say elite or near-elite. Sausage: Elite. Homemade and flavor rotates. Cheddar Brisket one visit was great. Maple Blueberry Gouda on another visit interesting for sure, but not my thing. Both were executed very well, with snap, tenderness, juiciness, and smoke. Lengthy and easy to share. If they have sausage and you don't get it, it's a lost opportunity for greatness. Pork Belly Burnt Ends: This concept is becoming fairly common nowadays, and everyone does them differently. Here, they're thick bacony chunks soaking in a thin, sweet sauce. That takes a lot of the crispness away, and although it adds flavor, it hides the meat flavor too. Pleasant enough, but other things on the menu take precedent. If you love sweet, your mileage may vary. Definitely worth a try. Pulled Pork: A fist-sized ball of ropy strands. Texture had some chew to it instead of the usual mush. Moist for sure, but not as juicy as the other meats. Lightly sauced to add flavor without taking anything away from the meat. Barbacoa: Available on tacos and by the pound, I choose the latter to taste the smoky artistry with no distractions. Intense beefiness, almost like organs, but with a brisket-like format, only silkier. Pleasing texture, with bumpy rubby edges, a tender chew, and very good moistness. Juicy even. Would like a little more crunch to the exterior, but nicely done. Turkey Leg: Tried one as a special and liked the beautiful red tint to the meat, the juiciness, the snap, and strong poultry flavor with hints of haminess in a good way. Another one where I wish there were more crunch to the exterior, but nicely done. "Texas Twinkie": This frequent special is a smoked bacon-wrapped, cheese-stuffed jalapeño. Wish it were more crispy (it had just enough that I can't say it wasn't crispy), but great flavor from all three components. A little toaster oven time at home would make these perfect. Smoked Burger: Brisket blend, cooked low and slow, plenty of flavor, plenty of juice, no condiments needed. Sides: Mac and cheese a bit dry, coleslaw creamy and herby with good crunch, beans an elevated version of the canned style. All decent; no better, no worse. Unless you're going for the combo deal, I recommend skipping the sides and squeezing in one more meat. There's no such thing as the perfect barbecue joint, so yeah, there are a few dings above, but this place does enough things well and enough things REALLY well that they earn a 5 from me. My usual go-to trio is ribs-brisket-pork, but here I'd go brisket-turkey-sausage, with barbacoa and ribs alternating as add-ons. This is a bunch of good guys who know how to smoke and have a passion for their craft. I'll be back often. read more

They sold out of pulled pork while I was in line which sucked, but I knew that might happen. My second choice (brisket sandwich) was very yummy, and the free hot cocoa outside is cute. It doesn't beat my favorite barbecue restaurant, but it's a close second. read more

603 BBQ - 2 meat platter (pork ribs and brisket) and brisket sandwich with mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

Been eagerly wanting to try this restaurant for several months since I accidently stumbled upon it in an Instagram posting. We arrived 30 minutes prior to them opening and were about the 7th party in line. We were glad we arrived early, the line moves slow once they open because they only have one register at the counter. They have about 5 picnic tables inside, we weren't sure if we would be lucky enough to get a seat when it was our turn but we were. We shared the table with another couple which I admire is the "unspoken" rule to do here. Otherwise there is a brewery right next door that opens at the same time with ample outdoor seating. Im not sure what the rules are for sitting there. If we didn't get a table inside, we were preparing to order a beer and take our food over there. Order at the counter and food is brought to your table. We spent $72 on our meal but we don't regret it. We wanted to try everything, and we sure did. Between the two of us we even had left overs which was enough to have for dinner later. We ordered the sampler platter and our 3 meats of choice were brisket, burnt ends and barbacoa. We were the most disappointed in the barbacoa, though the seasoning was amazing, it was very fatting. We were pleasantly surprised with the burnt ends, the sweet and savory flavor and was so tender. But our favorite was the brisket, it had so much flavor and it just melted in your mouth. With the sampler platter, we also got 3 sides: a large piece of corn bread, elote, and mac n cheese. All were wonderful. We had one Texas twinkie, be warned it packed a heated punch! It was spicy but we loved it. The cheddar jalapeño was amazing with quite a crunch on the skin. Lastly we had the banana pudding, I wasn't a fan of it. It was definitely missing something. But it appears most of their attention is drawn towards the main feature: the BBQ. Finally a great BBQ place in New Hampshire! Hoping they grow to a bigger location soon. They are all hard workers! They sell out so get there early read more

603 Barbecue in New Hampshire is honestly so good. The place feels relaxed and cozy, and the smell of the smoked meat hits you as soon as you walk in--it'll make you hungry fast.

Wanted to love this place more then I did. The baked potato was spot on. I ordered ribs because the picture on Yelp told me to and they were just ok. They actually were thin, not a lot of meat and tasted old. The sauces were amazing. The service was upbeat and friendly and my son loved his mac and cheese. But he thought the pulled pork was just ok. Definitely would not write this place off, will give it another try. read more

Make your inner fat guy happy and come here. Went for the first time today and the food was delicious. Took about 20 minutes to get food as they were busy but it was well worth the wait. I highly recommend the burnt pork belly pieces but honestly everything was great. If the weren't so busy I would have gotten more food to leave with. read more

Had to see what the hype was about so waited in line for about a 1/2 to try this place. It delivered as it was the best brisket I've had and the sides were legit too. Get here early as the place opens at noon and they were sold out at 3:15. read more

603 BBQ - All crack on a plate - Barbeque Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

We'd heard about this place for a while and thought to try it. Knowing they have a tendency to sell out some meats early, we tried to get there earlier in the day, around 12:45. The line was around the whole patio area, like 30 people at least. It took just about 2 hours to get through the line and order. The menu is hand written for each day with the options available. A lot to choose from and 5 homemade sauces to try. Once we ordered, food came to us within 5-10 mins. A lot faster than we expected given the line to order. Everything tasted great with different flavors coming through without any sauces too. Seating is limited but the brewery next door allows you to sit there so of course we got a couple beers. Delicious but 4 stars cause of the wait. read more

Easily the best bbq in the Concord area. With the decline of Smokeshow's value and quality, this place is my go to for BBQ. Sausage is hot and juicy. Brisket in top-notch and competition worthy. Pulled pork and ribs are fantastic. Prices are a bit steep, but flavor and portions makes it bearable. The fact that it neighbors with Litherman's brewpub is a huge plus as well. read more

Kept hearing how good this BBQ is and finally tried it yesterday. By 3:00 pm pork belly and brisket was all they had left. I brought home a pound of brisket, with a side of beans and slaw. No picture because we devoured it! I can see why everyone is raving. The brisket was so good we ate half of it with no sauce at all! So moist and tender we can't wait to try all the other bbq meats but it will have to be for lunch if we hope to score those because they sell out so fast! read more

Best BBQ ever--and I've had BBQ in Texas, Memphis, and the Carolinas - this is the best of Texas BBQ with a great smoke flavor that is second to none! Best ever, not just here in NH but anywhere! These guys really know what they are doing! The place is always packed with good reason, the food is amazing, the service is outstanding, and the only hard thing is finding it in an odd business park off Hall Street in Concord. Once you find it, you will be glad you did!!! read more

Went for dinner at just before 5 pm and they were "sold out". Posted closing time is 6pm "or until sold out". Owner was rude about the situation and defends running out of food regularly. Website does say 12-6 "or until sold out" but regular sell outs don't work for me. There are numerous other BBQ places, many with better food ratings, and they all keep reasonably reliable hours and I have not met a rude owner at any of them. read more

So good! A little pricey, but worth every penny. You get what you pay for. It's clear a lot of care and thought was out into this food. I had the brisket Mac and cheese which is super salty (in a delicious way!) and rich! A little goes a long way. My husband got ribs that needed no additional sauce because the flavor was unreal, so delicious and slightly sweet. Corn bread was also very good! We ordered to go and it was all delicious and satisfying. Would order again! read more

Great service, better food and cold beer next door at Lithermans Limited Brewery. Highly recommend this place.

This place is spectacular! The ribs were cooked to perfection and seasoned beautifully with a little hint of sweetness. The pork belly burnt ends were juicy and delicious and swimming in a heavenly sauce! Also, the Mac and cheese. What?! So creamy and cheesy and delicious with a little smokiness. Even the slaw was killer. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more

I have been a few times and each time I was underwhelmed. it is ok BBQ at best. could maybe go to the south and learn a thing or two about BBQ last visit I had the beef sausage, pork belly burnt ends and Mac and cheese. the Sausage was good, judging by the establishment, was not made there. the Mac and cheese was a little dry but overall good. nothing to rave about. Now on to the pork belly burnt ends.... ok this was the killer for me. I have had pork belly burnt ends that will curl your toes.... they are supposed to be soft, juicy, and melt in your mouth. they should be coated in a nice sauce that makes your mouth water. these burnt ends were undercooked.... they were cooked, but not like a burnt end should be cooked. they were not soft and melt in your mouth, they were chewy with LOADS of fat. they came in a paper bowl that was completely filled with pork grease (absolutely no flavor) with some spices at the bottom. they were served with a small side of BBQ sauce that was ok.... not great, but ok. I ate them because the price you pay for 8-9 small pieces of bland meat was a bit much... I believe 16 dollars. They should change the name from pork belly burnt ends to Pork chunks in bowl of grease. that explains the item better. I wanted to like the food because Concord has no good BBq options really.... but the recipes used should be updated and maybe learn to cook good southern BBQ.... that's the problem with NH... most haven't left the area and experienced good southern cooking. this is NOT good southern cooking. sorry... I hate leaving bad reviews but it's all for hopefully the better. read more
