This is their first yelp review in almost 4 years ... what's that about?…read more Anyways, I've been trying to sample their food for almost 2 years now and it's been impossible because they've been private catering exclusive for about that long now. Im glad they are doing so well but the thing is that if a food truck is doing this good that it is booked for private catering pretty much every week of the year, then by god they better have something special! So I keep checking their Facebook posts to see if they are ever going to offer a public date. They hardly ever post anything on their Facebook. And even when they do it's just teasing because it's stuff that I can't get unless I book them for myself. Finally a post comes along in July 2021 "We'll be at the Grass Drags!" in October. I had it written on my wall so I would never forget. I've never been to the grass drags but I was determined to get their BBQ. I didn't look into it, shame on me, but apparently I had to get a ticket to get in. Place must have been just as busy, if not MORE, as the friggin Big E! I think it was $20 a ticket, so I had to cough that up for me and my girl. $40 down the drain already. Oh and that was after the mile long walk to get into the place. We found the Hickory Stix truck easily enough only to find out that ... all they had were pulled meat sandys ... and some sides ... no sliced brisket, no ribs (you know ... the things that imply the name "Hickory Stix") Im sorry, when I want to taste the art of a BBQ place I need to eat their Ribs at bare minimum. Sliced Brisket is Second. Pulled stuff if there is nothing else, I don't ever EVER EVER Need it on a Sandwich! And yet that's all they had. So they had like a slider sampler combo, like a pulled Chicken slider, a pulled Pork slider, and chopped Brisket slider. And some Mac and Cheese and Beans. And that was something stupid expensive I can't even remember. And thinking my girl doesn't usually eat this stuff and there is tons of other food options around that I KNOW she'll like ... She waits till I'm about to pay for my order and she orders a pulled chicken sandwich ... And I can't make a big deal out of it in front of everyone so I have to dish out another $20 or whatever. So I've pretty much spent $100 now and I didn't even get to taste the one thing I thought I was going to get. Naturally she only eats about 1/3 of her sandwich which was the size of the slider that I got and I didn't even want to eat it. Short review time. All the meat was cold, but nothing gross, Beans were okay, Mac and cheese was excellent, Cornbread was meh, Slaw was terrible, done. Oh! And then my girl wanted lemonade and a caramel apple and candied nuts and french fries and friggin jerk chicken over rice that she took 2 bites of and said she didn't want it anymore ....... I spent about $200 that day for nothing. Tried to enjoy the grass drags and water drags for about a minute just so I could get something out of the day .... and then she complained it was too loud and wanted to leave ..... So anyways, I'm single now.

We had their BBQ at the 603 Brewery Fall Festival, which was included as part of our admission…read moreticket. For $25, we received two beer tokens ($5/each) and a BBQ sampler ($15). The BBQ platter included three sliders, beans, cornbread, and one other side (mac-n-cheese). The BBQ was good, what you could taste, as they put a tiny little speck of meat on the hearty buns. They certainly could have been more generous with the BBQ at ~ $4/sampler. I added some of their sauce to my sliders and it was flavorless - a brown liquid that wasn't sweet, sour, or tangy. The beans were a bit spicy and quite good (contained pineapple - a nice touch) and the corn bread fresh and moist. The mac-n-cheese was dry, luckily they only included about half a teaspoon of this side.

The bottom line …read more.. Positives: The atmosphere here is great-ish ... It feels like a roadhouse where you can get some relief from a hot day while coming in and having a few beers with friends. Good music on the playlist. Negatives: The food is, at best, average ... despite shockingly high prices, even in the hyper inflationary 2020's. You'll notice in the parking lot ... Lots of jacked up pick-up trucks, classic muscle cars, etc. The crowd here is as you'd expect for the border of NH and blue collar MA. The best way to describe the average clientele would be hard drinking, loud laughing 'Live Free or Die Massholes'. Upon entering, this place felt like a classic roadhouse ... dark and cave-like in places but with a large row of windows letting the sun flood into that particular area. It felt a little like a Texas desert Roadhouse in a shabby chic kind of way. The bar area is where I sat and right away, I was hot with the foul and pungent odor of years worth of spilled beer. You know that sour 'vinegar' smell that one would expect from a fraternity house carpet? It's here ... and it's bad. As John Taffer or Gordon Ramsay would scream ... This place needs a good cleaning! The beers here are $7 - $12 each, depending on what you get. They have some Michelob Light-esque draft specials. You are given the choice of 16 or 22 oz. beers and the glasses are chilled. Props for that. The bartender was a little frosty. He seemed more cordial to regulars ... but he was kind of short and matter of fact with me, at one point losing patience as I debated the menu and walked away mid-order without saying anything, only to return a few minutes later. The television situation was odd. The World Cup was on ... Every bar in the US was showing the games. Every television above the bar was broadcasting Keno numbers. Only one television, which was mounted on a side wall broadcasted the soccer game and to see it, everyone had to turn their head and look at a spot 6 inches above the bar top, so you were essentially staring right into the eyes of the people sitting next to you. Creepy. The food here was unfortunate. I think of places like Franklin BBQ in Texas and using 'Texas BBQ' to describe this place, after trying the food, is akin to the most egregious online dating exaggeration ever made. Imagine seeing a photo of a modelesque, jacked person with a full head of hair online ... and the person who showed up was a paunchy, middle-aged balding dude using pictures from 20 years ago. That's how expecting Texas BBQ ends up vs. what you actually get. There's nothing wrong with the food. It's edible ... which is more than some BBQ places can claim. However* it's all dry AF, probably smoked overnight ... taken out in the early morning ... and your brisket or pulled pork has been sitting for 6 - 8 hours under a heat lamp. The sides are made quickly ... the $7 Mac and cheese was basically spiral pasta with a white cheese sauce poured over it. Edible but I'd rather get freshly made Kraft Mac and Cheese. The $7 loaded tots ... a small cup of tater tots with a similar white cheese sauce drizzled over them and a couple of bacon bits on top. The $20 pulled pork was dry ... some big pieces, some chopped pieces. Based on other reviews I decided to avoid the more expensive brisket, which was probably a good move, given the dry pulled pork. I tasted (or smelled in the parking lot) no smokiness. As someone who lived in the South and often ate real BBQ ... You know it when you get the authentic stuff because you burp up smokey taste for the better part of the night after eating true roadside BBQ. This was more like Trader Joe's reheated BBQ. Food and restaurant costs are rising so fast these days, I have absolutely no idea what is normal and what is high. Based on other interactions with menus ... I believe these to be on the high side. $20 for a burger ... $20 - $30 for a single BBQ meat ... $15 - $25 for a BBQ sandwich ... $6 - $7 for a side. I had the pulled pork single meat, which came with two sides and a beer. My total, before tip, was $35. The bartender got a 20% tip, because that's my minimum. But he deserved maybe 10%. Beyond the somewhat dickish attitude ....he didn't ask or bring me any BBQ sauce (a necessity for the dry, bland meat) or Ketchup.. I had to walk over to a table and get some. He never checked in to see how my food was. No small talk ... no 'Can I get you anything else?'. Tipping culture in the US sucks because if you leave any less than 20% for bad service, you get chased into the parking lot. So that's my review in a nutshell. Would I return? Probably not ... unless I was meeting friends for beers. The food value just wasn't there for me. There seemed to be a lot of regulars, so it can't be all bad (although majority of other 3-star reviews seem accurate) The bottom line is that this is a better bar than a restaurant. It's cool and feels like a good recreation of a fun roadhouse.

Normally, I order take-away from this quaint local breakfast spot. But I strictly waited until I…read morewas finally able to eat in the dining area so that I could give a full perspective of the food as well as the service and decor. First off, the staff are SO friendly here! The bar lady who was describing the specials to me seemed wicked eager about a few of them. I wondered if she had practiced that speech in front of a mirror every night before bed. Or perhaps she really does love those specials (even though I can't remember what they are at the moment). Next, we have the interior. Now....a brief background for the non-locals not familiar with the history of this location: In the not too distant past, this place used to be called "Donna's Place", which was subsequently shutdown for reasons unbeknownst to me. However, the general layout is similar to its predecessor; with the exception of the table rearrangements. They ostensibly retained the bar and even threw in a few add-ons to the overhead. Also, just a caveat when you first arrive: you have to use the side entrance instead of the one facing the street. Okay. We gotta talk about the coffee real quick. While the roast itself presents a nice bold flavor, I gotta tell ya....this coffee mug is HUUUUUGE!! I swear to you they bring out like, a bucket of coffee. Thing must be at least 16 ounces! I took a picture of it next to a standard size sugar container for comparison. Friggin' HUUUUUUGE! So far, my all time go-to breakfast is the build your own omelet with cheddar cheese, tomato, and onions with a side of homefries and toast. I've had this combo with and without ham, plus a side of bacon. But I was really curious about the infamous homemade hash. And so it was. I'm still the misfit who prefers canned hash over homemade. However, this one exceeded my expectations. Ordinarily, I'm forced to get used to the trend of homemade hash consisting of shoe-leathery brisket mixed with potatoes, all of which is typically bland. But not this hash. GP's hash is surprisingly well seasoned and tender! It's strange, but almost like a combination of canned and homemade. The corned beef is minced similarly like canned, only with a different texture. It's tricky to explain to folks unfamiliar with hash. All I'm saying is....definitely give this one a try. The omelets here are phenomenal! That's all there is to say, really. Sure, they could be seasoned up a bit (along with the potatoes). But this is the restaurant biz. Chefs have to play it safe when it comes to salt, after all. As many know, I'm always down for supporting my local hot spots. And this one will certainly remain a continual revisit for moi. Therefore, I'll give The Good Place 5 sensationally built omelets with all the fixins and a side of hash out of 5.

The recipes are a bit different now but the quality of the meats and sides is high (often stellar) across the board. It's a trailer with smokers onsite. A few covered picnic tables allow comfortable eating, and there's even a supply of beach chairs for more relaxed eating. -- St Louis Ribs: A half rack came out a little on the thin side compared to previously, densely bumpy on the surface with a potent rub and a light basting during the smoking process. Lightly crusty on top, very tender underneath, with moderate juiciness and great flavor in every bite. Excellent. -- Ribs with Raspberry Chipotle Sauce: Same St Louis ribs, only glazed with a sweet but complex sauce with a little kick. It complements the spices on the rib surface very well and grows on you even if you're one of those no-sauce types. Excellent again. -- Pulled Pork: About as perfect as you can get. Tons of delicious bark, lots of good color in the meat, a juiciness that doesn't even require sauce, and a pronounced flavor from the spices used before and probably also after smoking. No dryness or steaminess anywhere; just perfect contrast of tender and barky throughout. Only possible improvements would be a little more smoke and the availability of a vinegar sauce, but there's not a single pulled pork in New England that can touch this. An absolute pleasure. Elite. -- Brisket: A thick slab had little ripples of fat, a sturdy outer bark, good flavor, and meat that was mostly closer to very moist and fairly tender than the previous regime's reliable floodgates of juices and extremely tender, but still a top 10% brisket. Hoping for a return to top 1% next time. -- Brisket Bacon (a frequent special): They take slabs of pork belly, prepare them like brisket, smoke them, and slice them thin for delectable finger food. It's not cured, but the strong rub, the wobbly tenderness, and the succulence of the meat are more than enough to more than satisfy. What's almost as remarkable as the deliciousness and texture is the lack of intrusive fat-- you can bite into these slices without any trimming necessary. One of the best barbecue items I've had this year. -- Sides: Coleslaw was a crunchy, vinegary rendition. Mac and cheese was sharp and extra thick-- more of a sludge than liquid. Baked beans were sweet, spicy, tangly, and meaty. Overall, very good to excellent. Water: Free bottled water in an ice chest is a very nice touch. Not a perfect day, but a very, very good one that very few barbecue joints in New England can come close to duplicating. With two wow-worthy items, two excellent ones and one very good one, plus quality sides and service, this gets an unquestioned upgrade to a 5. (The previous regime was a 5 on my last several visits too but I never got around to an update until now.) Looking forward to more great visits before the season ends.
