    Best thing to happen to Winthrop since the Maine Central Railroad came to town! Some of the best BBQ in Maine is right here. Open since last fall I finally got to try it. Naturally, got the sampler with a couple tasty ribs, fantastic sausage, pulled pork and chicken leg. The sides of homemade cole slaw and collards mix were delicious. Ginormous moist corn bread is included. Prices were very reasonable. Brought home a brisket plate to share and the large portion of melt-in-your-mouth meat was perfect. The inside is sparkling clean and newly renovated. Only the beans&rice were a bit boring with little spice. The incredibly pleasant owners, "E" and Jim, will serve you with smiles. Service was swift, too. Hopefully the hours will expand in the summer and a couple bistro tables will find a home on the sidewalk for the pups. Check them out!

    The aroma in this place is amazing. I had the sampler with two sides. Rice and beans and Cole slaw. The Cole slaw was as good as my mother's. The ribs are tender and have that rich smoky flavor. The chicken was excellent. Wasn't crazy about the sausage but the pulled pork made up for it. The owners were great people and I will definitely be back.

The place was clean and nice. And the foods flavor was good. Now, the bad. While the flavor of the food was good, the food itself wasn't. Everything was extremely dry. We got the hush puppies to start and the sampler to try a little of everything. It was like a desert it was so dry. The hush puppies, chicken, ribs, brisket (which was more like pulled pork because they shred it for some reason) corn bread, and somehow both the coleslaw and baked beans, too. The only way this happens is if they make things earlier in the day and then everything just sits. Meaning it's not freshly made. As I mentioned, it was not very busy, so I'm assuming they make their food in advance and let it sit in pans over heat all day. Which is not what you do with BBQ. It's quite disappointing because the flavor is there. The spices they use were a southern flavor, which is good; but it's so dry, you'll be reenacting the scene from Christmas Vacation just to eat your food. They should consider either limiting their hours they are open to help not have food sitting around to dry out or reconsidering how the make their food. Dry BBQ is the worst, hopefully they'll make the appropriate changes.

If you're passing by this area, you absolutely have to stop by for a quick bite to eat. The meat is smoked right next to the stand and is first come first serve. He offered several selections of drinks and sides, but you have to try a side of slaw and the BBQ sandwich! The slaw had a nice sweetness to it, and I was impressed. The mac & cheese was fair, it just wasn't my normal style, but the BBQ made up for it. Obviously fresh and perfectly smoked. I don't think we could've stopped by the stand on a more beautiful, perfect day! Enjoy sitting outdoors by the food stand under a clean and well covered picnic area. The desserts were also fantastic and I recommend the key lime pie when it's available.

The brisket and pulled pork was also excellent. Even the sides were admirable, especially the beans. Definitely order the beans! They do tend to run out of food (while we were there, they ran out of ribs and brisket), so you might want to come earlier in lunch. I also liked the eating set up alot. Well spaced and pleasant, you can see the harbor. Overall, if we are in the area again, we'd make it a point to come here. One thing though. The counter girl (who was cheery and nice) held up the tablet and asked which button she should press for you when it came to the tip. Now I'm going up to the window to order food, i'm fetching my own food and busing my own table. What I'm tipping for, I'm not really sure, but the way its done, it makes you feel like a heel if you don't cough up the same tip as a full service restaurant waiter would get. A bit mishegoss, not worth taking off a star though.

The folks operating the place were nice and I enjoyed myself immensely here. They take good care of you. On to the food... That was the best freaking chili dogs I have ever had! Chili was great, smothered in queso, and I mean smothered. Fresh cut fries too!! Swoon. I wish I had this in my belly every single day. I am a five star kind of guy, right?!? Or it could have been I was so stinking stoned that it felt that way! Either way.... Killer chili dog! I don't even remember what town we were in or how we got there. I had to google the place to figure out where we were. C had the pulled brisket French Dip! Borealis bread, Swiss cheese, caramelized onions, and housemade au jus. Amazing sandwich! The baked beans were very good as well. I am glad I took a bunch of pics and the food stood out so much so that it stayed locked in my memory banks so well. It was six months ago and I still think about this place. I do remember sampling all of the bbq sauces. I liked them all! I wish I had tried their bbq too.

It's a lot bigger inside than it seems from the outside. When you walk in, there are mostly high tables and a long bar with seating. Walk past the bar and on the right is a dining area with a lot more tables. We had 2 kids and 4 adults and we had plenty of room at a center table. There were booths along the wall. Our server was so great. So patient, and kind. She was great. She checked in regularly, our drinks never went dry. The food was excellent.
