One word... AMAZING. Barbecue is an art with components that…read moreshould create a complete experience. Let's begin with ambiance--there are outside tables charmingly arranged beneath stylish arbors--and the interior is equally warm and stylishly arranged.. concrete floors, wooden tables of various sizes, chandeliers, brick walls, mixed with rustic white washed wooden signs. The menu is extensive .. there are so many choices it was tough deciding.. The proprietary sauces fantastic... my favorite.. the Carolina sauce..but in addition to perfect barbecue staples, let's also mention the hush puppies and biscuits to die for.. and the fresh cut crinkle potatoes are sprinkled with out of this world seasoning. Service is very friendly and helpful.. Great cocktails added the right tone. I cannot wait to go back!

Delicious smoked wings, falling-off-the bone ribs and pork belly burnt ends are among my favorites. The pulled pork sandwich has a yummy tang with the slight kick. The seasoned crinkle cut fries stand no chance against me. Sides/appetizers are generously portioned and can easily be shared. Nicely curated beer menu to pair along with your hefty meal. One kiosk to order food, but it goes quickly and they text you when your order is ready. Lots of open seating available and in the cooler months, you can sit outside and enjoy the firepits. Very fun spot to do trivia on Wednesday nights!

This weekend I took my best friend and it was perfect, even in the middle of winter. The deck is still open with plenty of space heaters and even heated seat cushions. We actually got so warm we had to peel off layers, which feels like a small miracle in Maine. The two of us love a marg & taco outing, and make a point to scope out the best of the best. We started with chips and salsa and some queso, which were the perfect kickoff. Then we ordered the street corn succotash, my absolute favorite. It's packed with flavor and topped with the most delicious, salty cotija cheese that pulls everything together. I crave that dish. We split the smoked brisket tacos and the smoked pork carnitas tacos, and both were outstanding. The meat was smoky and tender, the flavors were bold without being overdone, and every bite delivered. And the margaritas? Excellent and refreshing. Exactly what you want alongside that food. On top of all that, the staff is consistently wonderful. Every single time we've gone, our waitstaff has been charming, attentive, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. They strike that perfect balance of checking in without hovering, and they make you feel welcome from start to finish. Terlingua never disappoints. Great atmosphere, incredible food, thoughtful touches that keep you cozy even in winter, and a team that clearly cares about the experience.

Signage from road is clear and unobstructed with two entrances to choose from, one on Stevens Ave and the other mid building from parking area. Lots of natural light inside with art deco lettering on the walls spelling out "Neighborhood" and "Noble". Plenty of seating options at noontime with an empty bar. Decided that's where we wanted to be. Bartender was friendly and answered all of our questions with a smile on her face and enthusiasm in her voice. At first we were going to go with sharing a pizza then we read the sandwich menu and heard the special and promptly changed our minds. I had the Brisket sandwich on the menu and my GF had the chicken sandwich special with a lemon flavor combination with spices. Tried a THC drink and found ourselves giggling before our food arrived. The pickled vegetables that accompany the sandwiches were yummy as was the corn bread we shared. The brisket was perfect not dry at all and not super fatty. Chicken sandwich was very good, the crispy coating did not diminish with the sauce on the sandwich nor when additional BBQ sauce was added. They offer two types of BBQ sauce at every table and worth trying as they are in store made. Cole slaw was the only thing to fall short as it lacked any flavor. Crunchy but nothing to write home about. Marvelous experience and will be back with my husband in the near future. Great addition to the community.

The ribs and pulled pork sando were tasty, but for me, I was most pleasantly surprised by the sides (mac 'n cheese and Missouri baked beans). BBQ places often do meet really well but overlook the sides, so I especially appreciate that the meal was good all around. Our food came to $43, which isn't "cheap" but also isn't unreasonable for BBQ in this area. Solid choice and something Westbrook really needed, I'd say!

Stop two of eating and shopping our way through Portland: we came for the fries and milkshakes!!…read more We shared a large order of Belgian Frites with garlic mayo and Thai chili mayo. Very generous portion, two of us couldn't finish the fries. We went back and forth between which of the mayos was better, based on how much we ate out of the little cups, it was the garlic mayo, but only barely! I had the Wild Maine Blueberry & Kate's Buttermilk shake. It was very creamy and delicious, fabulous blueberry flavor, and they give you the extra that doesn't fit in the chilled glass, so another generous portion!! The atmosphere and service were great, there's a magnet board with words along the wall by the bar, so we were entertained as we worked on our fries and milkshakes!!

We were really excited to try this spot out and chow down on a bunch of meat. We came in at 5pm and waited to be seated. The host said table for 4? I said yes. He said okay and was about to guide us but then I said oh and 2 babies. His reaction, ohhhh I don't we can accommodate your party here, sorry. I was caught off guard since I've never been to a restaurant that turned people away. I'm assuming kids/babies aren't welcomed here? There were plenty of large tables available in the front where the host stand was. I could count 4 tables on my way in, 1 or 2 of them larger tables. We were open to the grill tops or regular tables but he didn't ask us. I guess if you have kids, save the hassle and dine elsewhere. We ended up at Highrollers for the evening.

It doesn't matter what I order off of their menu, it never disappoints. This time around I tried the buffalo chicken dip as a starter. There was a good ratio of chips to dip and it brought a little more heat then the traditional sauce. For my meal, I got the chicken BLT wrap. This had some of their famous tenders inside. You got to pick if you wanted them coated and in what. This really hit the spot. If you know anything about their tenders, it's that you only need a couple to fill you up. They don't skimp on the size! Smoked makes the only cornbread muffin that I will even think about eating, so of course I had to get one of those too. If it wasn't weird to eat the accompanying butter by the spoonful, I would. The sweet cinnamon blend is amazing! Food wise, Smoked is a 5 star all day. I gave it a four this time around because the waitress completely forgot to put one of my friend's orders in. Besides the bartender, it seemed she was the only one on the floor. I'm sure she had a lot on her mind and it was purely a mistake, but still worth noting.

Fairly close to the classic tangy Buffalo, with some modifications to make it just different enough. A little salty, but it works. Exteriors more firm than crispy. Interiors ranged from slightly moist to full-on juicy, depending on the piece. Blue cheese was mild and creamy. No chunks. Overall, good.

Located in the Old Port they offer outdoor seating to expand seating. This restaurant is SMALL! Be aware that they only have stool seating, no low tables or chairs. We walked in and started looking for the rest of the restaurant and what you see, is it. Thankful for the seats at the bar. Menu is unique with various spins on the staple burger. We decided to share the Bacon bacon burger with some fries. Beers on tap, various signage with cows, chickens, and a pig to symbolize the variety offered. Bartender/server was social with all and happy to answer any questions. Gentleman I sat next to is a construction worker who's here for an extended stay while building says he's here twice a week the burgers are so good. We shall see. Burger and fries a short time after ordering. Burger was very good, bacon bacon bacon YUM!! Fries were crispy outside and tender inside. Billing is a first, NOTHING comes with your $20 burger, nothing! Fries are an additional charge. Unusual and costly. $30 total for a burger and fries is steep. It was very good, but not sure we will return.

I have used jerk spice but do believe this is the first time I have had Jamaican food (been wanting it for years!). We had the jerk chicken and jerk pork and the taste is just so good - love it! The chicken was just a teeny bit on the dry side but still very good and I will most defenitely be back - need to try all the other options, especially ribs and ox-tail. Highly recommend the place - but get take-out.
