Smokeshow catered a work lunch for our team and it was amazing! The owner delivered everything and helped us unpack everything and he was super friendly and courteous. Best barbecue I've ever had & everyone loved it!

The Goodness Sandwich with a side of Coleslaw
Alden M.

I had a goodness sandwich with a side of coleslaw and man was a good! The sandwich contains several types of meat, chopped up and tossed with a delicious BBQ sauce. The guy working the cash register was nice and the restaurant itself is spacious and nicely decor.

Exterior, there is street parking and parking across the street in the lot

Our first barbecue New Hampshire was memorable. This place is on point when it comes to barbecue and friendly service.. The restaurant shares space with a brewery. Next door called The tap room, which is a great place to grab your favorite Brew. You'll see some photos from that place. You can eat there also. Overall, the flavor was very good on the meat and the real star of the show where their sauces, especially their South Carolina yellow sauce. That was perfection. The ribs were meaty and tasty. A hidden jam was the turkey, with the yellow sauce. It is money. Only thing that was just okay were the sides. Although the cornbread was good and l is recommended.

Great little joint for Q and brew from their brewery next door. We stopped in for lunch on Sunday (first time for my wife and second for me) with she choosing the stuffed baked potato (with pulled pork) and I going with the two meats plate (pulled pork and ribs) with Mac and cheese and collard greens. We both loved the pulled pork even without sauce (though I'm finding my favorite sauce is their mustard sauce). My ribs were almost falling off the bone with a spicy rub. Tasty but best with some sauce. The Mac and cheese was very tasty and cheesy but not dry (which is what I look for in a Mac). The only thing I wasn't crazy about were the collard greens. They had a bit of a spicy taste that wasn't my favorite. Overall a great choice for lunch (except maybe a different side for the greens). Staff is very friendly and the folks in the pub gave us a sample of the pumpkin brew (maybe next time we'll have a pint). Definitely worth going back!

Combo meal. Ribs and goodness with Mac and cheese a d baked beans

I was excited to see that there was a BBQ location close to where I was staying. There isn't a parking lot but you can utilize street parking. I went during lunch time on a Thursday so it wasn't too busy. When you walk in you do get a hint of that BBQ smell. The person taking my order was friendly and helpful. They even allowed me to sample some of their sides since I wasn't familiar with it. I order the combo meal which gives you 2 meat options and 2 sides. I went with their ribs and something they call the goodness, a mixture of brisket, turkey, and pork chopped up together. The food came out quickly and I took my seat. The place has plenty of seating and it's clean. As for the food, I have to say I wasn't too impressed. It wasn't bad but I just felt that the BBQ flavors weren't there. The ribs were cooked well but you don't get that smokey flavor you yearn for in BBQ. I'll say the presentation is great as it has a nice bark to it. The goodness wasn't too bad but again didn't get too much flavor and smokiness. The mac and cheese was cheesey and creamy but again it lacked a little flavor. The baked beans were good and I didn't expect to have chunks of meat in it which was a pleasant surprise. This is a likable place. The staff are friendly and the place has a nice ambiance. The food may not "meat" the standard of true BBQ (pun intended) but I will say it was cooked well. When you throw in the goodness inside the Mac and cheese it does make it better. Overall, if you're a big time BBQ fan this place may not be for you. But if you're looking for decent food and a cool vibe this place is worth checking out.

Yes! I absolutely love Southern cooking and this is the closest to "real" BBQ I have had in New England.

The food is fantastic. You can see the nice smoke rings on the meat and the sides are great. The atmosphere is the only thing lacking here.

Friday Night: we were driving up to the lake and decided to stop to get something to eat in…read moreConcord. My son looked on his phone and came across Barley House. We were able to park close by and get in before the big crowd. Barley seems like a happening place. An upscale Irish Pub, for sure! The set up is a bar with a decent amount of restaurant booth seating. Of course, there were tables of different sizes available, as well. We were given a 10 minute wait after meeting with the Hostess. There was alot of activity around the bar and lots of drinks coming out of the bar well....always a good sign! When our time was up, we were quickly escorted to our table. We were each given a menu and a drink menu. Lots to choose from on both menus (see the pic below) I ordered the chicken sandwich with caramelized onions and my son ordered a Chicken Pot Pie. He had a beer and we both had water with a lemon. The food came rather quickly. I was immediately taken back when the caramelized onion was not on my sandwich. I was going to ask the waittress to fix it but it was far to busy and it was not a big deal. Of course, I would have enjoyed the onion but "no big deal". My son's Chicken Pot Pie was a good size and was thrilled with it. We both ate everything on our plates. Our waitress checked in with us a few times to refill, which was nice and came to take the plates away after we were finished. We did not get any dessert. To be honest, we did not see a lot of dessert plates coming to other tables, either. We were thinking maybe people leave to get ice cream at one of the nearby establishments. 5-Stars Price: Fair Parking: plenty near by Vibe: perfect...I would like to watch a game, someday, at the bar Pepsi/Coke: Coke Would I come again? Sure...we enjoyed ourselves and the food and service was excellent

Nice enough place for families with young kids or 20-somethings looking to get drunk, but forget…read moreabout the food! Everything our party of four ordered was a disappointment, starting with an ice-tea cocktail that was undrinkable-- our nice waitress took it off the bill. My grilled salmon on a bed of rice arrived as dry as the Sahara, surrounded by burnt roasted carrots -- at least I think that's what they were. My husband's steak he ordered medium rare was also way overdone, served a block of with cold mashed potatoes. The overly sweet Apple Pumpkin Bisque (for $9) went uneaten after each of us tried a spoonful -- it was more like a bowl of pie filling than soup. Even the dessert, bread pudding with some whipped cream, was gloppy and unappetizing. This is a great place to go if you are fasting.

I'm so glad there's a place in Concord to stop in for authentic African cuisine. Maddy's Food Hub…read moreopened on Fort Eddy Road near Planet Fitness recently. The space has a homey atmosphere with seating in the dining area and a takeout counter. After seeing their small grocery Mart next to Man Yee Express in the Heights, I decided to head to their small restaurant for takeout. I ordered the Banku & Fried Fish ($17 plus tax) and the owner asked me how spicy, referring to the sauce that comes with it. I was given the spicy sauce and the non spicy tomato sauce on the side. My food was ready to go in about 15 minutes. The boxed dinner had a dense balled cornmeal (slight salt flavor) served with fried croaker fish with bones with shredded onion, and pepper on the side and hot & mild sauces on the side. The hot flaky fish needed to be carefully deboned before enjoying. The sauces were great with my food and with the Banku, the dinner was filling to eat. I will keep Maddy's Food Hub on my list of places to stop for a fresh cooked African meal.

Let me start by saying the food is delightful. While I am far from an expert consumer of this…read morecuisine, I have consistently enjoyed the Jollof rice, the fried plantains, the chicken gizzards, and their goat dishes. The portions are generous and the food is wonderfully spicy. The restaurant is very loud as they play music on a sizable PA system in a relatively small space. I would not recommend eating in for anyone with auditory sensory processing differences. That said, if you're going to eat here, pay cash or go somewhere else. In our last visit (October 2024), my credit card was triple billed for our meal. The staff told us that it was a problem with Square. Cool. I've dealt with Square. Square can be a pain, I get it. Sadly, that was the start of the problem, not its resolution. The receipt they sent me was a completely different order (literally nothing we ordered was on the receipt, the the receipt was for almost twice the cost of our meal). The staff said they'd fix it. Cool. We'll wait. However, after waiting 20 minutes or so for this to be resolved, the staff told us that they were unwilling to wait on hold any longer and that they would follow up the next day. I never got a call. Two days later, I called to follow up as the charges had only been partially reversed. When I called the number staff gave me for follow up, they told me my refund was processed. Looking at my credit card statement, it most definitely was not. They refunded a partial and seemingly random amount, leaving them still having overcharged me by more than $60. The staff person I spoke to, who assured me that they would be available on Monday, said they were too busy to talk and would call me back. They did not call me back. The staff person I have been in contact with has been consistently argumentative. I have consistently been made to feel that I am the problem and am an inconvenience for insisting on accurate, timely correction of the charges. I don't care how good the fried plantains are (and they're really good), they're not worth this much headache. I'll not be going back.
