Service was attentive and nice. The Patio was a nice spot overlooking the river and inside had a long bar with a cool vibe!

Wings: Smoked but didn't have that smoked wing taste or feel. They were definitely tender and moist, but definitely not crisp. My sauce (sesame honey sriracha) was a nice blend with a little heat and sweet, with neither dominating. Sesame was AWOL. Not bad, but the lack of crispness lost a chance to impress more. Smoked Brisket and Chorizo Chili: A small-ish serving somewhat concealed by the thick, droopy layer of cheese stretching across the top of the crock. Really nice flavor from the chorizo and peppers, but I didn't notice a smoke presence. Despite the crumbled bits of meat, more of a heated salsa feel than chili. Again, not bad, but nothing I'd get again. The Holburger: Now THIS one came through in flying colors. So rare in these days of smashburger dominance to see a thick burger (they do smashburgers too), and this was exceptionally juicy and brought good flavor from the brisket/shortrib blend and the grill itself. Bacon was only slightly crisp, but that's how I want it on a burger. Potent blue cheese. All of the flavors blended really nicely. Bun a white-bready version of brioche. A gigantic pile of fries (I think hand-cut) had the right crispness and droopiness. And to make it even better, on weekdays from noon to 4pm this burger-and-fries plate, with the addition of a draft beer is a dollar LESS. Good burger, good deal. Mixed bag so far, but that burger will bring me back to try more. Though they seem to be a little understaffed, service was friendly on two separate visits.

Went to the riverwalk Sunday as they had an event for pride. When I got there I thought I was at…read morethe wrong place because there were a bunch of people with ribbons from some Race or ??? but no visible signs of pride. Finally found my friends and I think there were 2-3 other groups there. So I felt obliged to order as I was at their pride event. Ordered a cocktail and a cheeseburger. $15 for the cocktail and $13 for a cheeseburger The cocktail arrived and it was very small but I don't think had any alcohol . It was like a cranberry spritzer and nothing special but with a dried flower sitting on top? Made me uncomfortable because where did that come from??? Now the burger. Not everyone puts mayo on their burger, but what they brought was a bun with a sliver of tomato and a small patch of lettuce. No fries (ok, they didn't promise) but a bag of potato chips. The burger looked like it came directly from a frozen box and thrown on the grill. It was dry and unseasoned. It came with a packet of ketchup, mustard and relish. I was thinking they got it wrong and gave me the condiment pack for a hot dog, but when I requested mayo they told me that they don't have it. I'm very sorry that I didn't send it back because the dry burger with no flavor tasted like cardboard. I didn't want to make a scene, but instead I left feeling angry and disappointed. I went expecting a good time and left feeling pride gouging and that they should have either learn to make a tasty burger or leave it off their menu. Note: I have been there many times with groups and had pizza which I thought was decent. Yesterday I felt like they stole my joy

My husband was not a fan of his. First, the top bun was flipped...we have no idea why. The breading came off of the chicken after the first bite. The sandwich had no flavor. He wondered if he read it correctly, because he did not taste any heat, yet it is called "chipotle ranch...". Why do we fear heat? Also, the bacon jam spilled all over his plate. He did not eat it. Very messy.

As someone who loves authentic BBQ, I can honestly say the food made me feel like I was back in Texas. Every bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for a great venue for a private event, business gathering, or just an excellent place to enjoy amazing food and drinks, I highly recommend Border Brewery. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back!

Never have I had a more awful BBQ experience. Went here with my family on a Wednesday, their first…read moreday open after Father's Day the prior Sunday. Our server was a nice girl but didn't exude intelligence or personality. I don't say those things as insults, I know a lot of people like that but I don't think that was what we or most people hope for when going to pay an arm and leg for a specialty cuisine like BBQ. We ordered the BBQ sampler for $63 (1/4 lb brisket, 1/4 lb pulled pork, 1/2 rack ribs, potato chips and 2 sides) we added an extra 1/4 lb of brisket and for the sides we chose baked beans and cornbread waffles. The menu said "out of ribs" so in lieu of ribs we ordered Burnt ends which I have been in the mood for and in search of for a while (a lot of bbq places in this area of NH don't have burnt ends) but wait! They had ribs! They didn't have burnt ends... so good job keeping up to date on that menu! So, we got the ribs. The food looked okay when it came out until you looked closer. The whole meal was heavily drizzled with bbq sauce in what I assume was a last ditch effort to make it look appetizing. Usually the moist smoked meats should speak for themselves. They very likely seemed to serve us the leftover Father's Day Brisket and if not, they have really awful, dry, jerky like brisket the entirety of which literally broke apart into dry flakes the second a fork touched it. The pulled pork was also pretty bad. It was charred as if after they pulled it they threw it over an open flame or back on the smoker which isn't commonplace in bbq as it's supposed to be smoked, pulled and served nice and juicy so I assume this was also leftovers. There were sections of it that were charred so bad it was like a burnt chunk of wood that was inedible but a little more than half of the serving was edible with bbq sauce. The Ribs were actually quite good! They were juicy and fell off the bone which is key for good BBQ but they did not redeem the meal yet only added an extra star to this would-have-been 1 star review. The cornbread waffles were floppy and cold, seemed more like an undercooked eggo than a modified cornbread from a good BBQ spot. The beans were fine, nothing to write home about but not disappointing in any notable way. The chips were very good and seemed like they could have been made in house but didn't see or hear anything to confirm this and I wasn't there for chips anyway. My Wife and her Mother both ordered cocktails at $16 a piece, when my wife tried to modify the type of liquor in her cocktail she was told they were batched (pre made In large quantities) with a certain brand of liquor which is not awesome but I guess acceptable for a brewery as it's specialty is supposed to be beer, I did not try any beer as I don't drink much especially on a Wednesday so unfortunately I can't judge the place's brewery ability which also lends itself to the 2nd star. When my wife's cocktail was served the server came out with a shaker and did the performance which I thought was also weird as we had just been told the cocktails are batched so we know you just poured pre batched cocktail in a shaker and shook it. We made our feelings known about the brisket and they were nice enough to refund the extra 1/4 lb we ordered which we did not ingest. The whole meal came out to $147 and we tipped fairly as we really held nothing against the server. They take your card at the door and put a $1 hold on the card which I don't love. After the meal the whole transaction turned into 2 separate transactions for the full amount of close to $200 one of which was taken right out of my bank the other pended for THREE DAYS while my bank held the funds. They should just charge you once the meal is complete. I really question the owners ability to run a business and make smart business decisions including hiring a good Chef. I will not go here ever again and I advise others to stay away unless a change is made. I hope the owner re evaluates his business model and his seriousness to be good because as the only actual bbq place within a high traffic big retail market they really have all the reason to be great. 2 stars. If you read this and say "food costs are high so they can't afford to throw away the leftovers from Father's Day and it's hard to run a small business!" Then maybe should volunteer to be their holiday leftover eater, as the only BBQ place in Salem I'm sure they are not struggling to make it as a small business and it's absolutely unacceptable to serve 3 day old meats. Brisket should be an absolute shining staple of a BBQ restaurant and they should take it very seriously. If these meats weren't leftovers and were in fact prepared the day we dined there then this place really is 1 star and needs to fire its kitchen and get someone serious in there.
