    Grits and sausage, brisket w Mediterranean salad and fries.
    Joanie L.

    What a great place to stumble upon as we crawled along Rt 16. Got something completely different, the grits w smoked sausage and pork belly w a corn muffin. Very good at about $14. Friend got a plate with one meat and two sides. They do it oddly there where all meats and sides are paid separately. Comfy seating and good service, although pretty chilly inside tho.

    So I came here for the second time and everything was perfection. I was greeted immediately with a warm smile by Cassie so I decided to sit at the bar. Cassie took amazing care of me and the other guests never missing a beat to check on us all. As for my lunch, I started with Brisket French Onion soup, then added the Single barrel (ribs and fries). The ribs were so tender that I could pull the meat easily off the bones with my fingers. I would highly recommend dropping by and trying one of their ever changing specials. Enjoy!

    Ribs, brisket, pulled pork
    BB Q.

    I had heard that Chronicale was doing a piece on 3 NH BBQ joints and I knew who the other two places were so I was excited to hear the 3rd place. Turned out to be this place which I thought was still at the beach? ... Then I find out this is a whole different place I've never heard of so I got really excited and visited the next day. Got what they call the "3 Barrel" 3 Meats 3 Sides. Way too much food but damn it looked glorious. Ribs, Pulled Pork and Brisket with Mac and Cheese, Beans, and Cornbread. Also their Deviled Pickled Eggs I had to try. Brisket, they broke my first rule, BBQ sauce on top, don't ever do that. But other than that it looked traditional, good smoke ring, looking a bit on the drier side. After a few bites I have to be honest ... I couldn't actually tell if it was Brisket. It was dry, No Flavor, No Bark, No of that traditional peppery flavor, I could tell it was at least smoked but I feel like I might have gotten pork belly. The meat itself was okay minus any other flavor you could add to meat. Pulled Pork was very orange in color and obviously stewed in some sauce. There was a fist sized hunk of unpulled unchopped pork right in the middle of it which kind of blew my mind. Cooked well enough, great texture and taste for a sandwich. Ribs. Came with 4 Ribs, no bark to them, good sized ribs. Taste was not super smokey, the meat was very tender, great pork flavor, but there was some other flavor in the ribs that is hard for me to describe. Almost like Ham. The flavor I can relate to the most is like a nice smoked ham. I don't know what they do to get it like that or if they're trying to but it sure did taste like that to me. Sauce. Liquidy and very sweet. Borderline Teriyaki flavor Mac and Cheese, cheese goop on shell pasta with some buttered bread crumbs on top. Didn't look too promising. Ate it and changed my mind immediately. Cheese was a little stringy, with multiple different cheeses, the pasta was nice, some kind of spice was in there and it should have been black pepper but it wasn't. Still pretty good though Beans were a bit orangey too, big pieces of pork or beef fat. Gravy was thick and really stuck to the spoonful. Bean flavor was the most prevalent, a bit sweet, maybe a tiny tad bit over cooked because the beans just exploded. I don't typically like the meat in my beans, cowboy style, but in this particular one the meat actually paired well. Deviled Eggs, Looked good, smelled good, pickled a bit with some sweet bits of bacon cubes and maybe some dill herb, maybe fennel. Tasted really good but of course you need to like pickled stuff and that mustard taste of deviled eggs. The pickling is mainly what I could taste but the spices mixed well with it. Awesome flavor. Maybe not quite as "pickley" as some pickle lovers might be hoping for but it's definitely there. And I personally like my hard boiled eggs still a bit soft in the whites so it has that nice jello kind of texture, these ones are a bit harder like the premade ones you might get from a store. Still will buy them every time though. Cornbread is sold as a side in the form of 2 little small muffins. Moist, buttery, kernels still in the bread, very good cornbread. Came with some cinnamon butter that was a bit over cinnamony. Took me a second to realize that this was actually jalapeno cornbread. Very subtle but I just happened to notice some green veggie in the bread and realized it was a sliver of jalapeno. Very good ratio too, just enough to get that fun flavor of the pepper. So I'd say their sides are killing it. Their meat is more on the unique side but could use a little work.

    Ok Seacoast fans.....here it comes the long awaited opening of Smoking Barrels on rt125 in the great town of Barrington NH. Giving you a sneak peak of what's to come. The Grand Opening is like this week!!! It is well worth the wait trust me!!!! I got a chance to sneak in prior to grand opening and gorge myself in all the goodies. I love the way they rediscover the establishment in the country style including a 1 piece 30 foot bar top that took several strong backs to install. The goal - the food......mouth watering, all good across the board. Killer ribs and brisket that's so good already but even better with the bbq sauce. Order extra cornbread, it's like the best ever!!!!! Try this place out, it's a well needed breath of fresh air in the area, come on in to the new location on rt125 in Barrington. The

    I'm from Texas and a fan of Central Texas BBQ brisket, so I typically eye most BBQ I see in New England with a bit of suspicion. I still try it anyway hoping that it will be great, and this place does not disappoint. Just to get it out of the way, the brisket is not Texas style, but it is delicious. The fat is perfectly rendered on the fatty parts and nice and crispy. The lean parts also have crispy fat, and it is moist and cut correctly against the grain. The sauce was good, and not overdone, and the crispy onions were a nice touch. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

    Pulled pork,(amazing) ribs, pork belly, bacon, andouille sausage, sweet mashed potatoes, corn bread and beans.. beans amazing!!
    Lori I.

    I have to say this is the best BBQ i have had up here in the Northeast in a very long time.. the food was excellent, we got the Pig pen and truffle fries!! the service was excellent.. a definite must try!!

    Piggy pile w extra brisket

    Flavor and the tenderness are on point. The only thing I didn't like as much as othet menus was mac and cheese. A bit too greasy and not enough cheese for me but beans were the best one I've ever had in my life. Recommend mustard for sausages and spicy sauce for anything!

    Big Dog Pub opened recently in Deerfield, in the former Ma's Cafe & Tavern (moved to Northwood)…read more They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner & drinks. This cozy space has table seating along the walls and seating up at the full service bar. There is dog related country decor and a digital jukebox. There is also another informal dining room across the hall. This new "Big Dog" pub in Deerfield is not to be confused with "Big Dog" eats in Milford and "Big Dawg's" eatery in Haverhill (Bradford) MA. The breakfast menu offers a selection of egg dishes, omelets, pancakes, French toast, waffles, breakfast sandwiches and sides. The lunch/dinner menu offers a selection of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, paninis, burgers, flatbreads, pizzas, chicken entrees, pasta, and seafood. They have switched from standard fries to hand cut fries. There are posted specials on the board. The bar offers limited draft beers, beer bottles/cans, wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. The prices seem fair and they offer happy hour 3-5pm. I stopped by Big Dog Pub for dinner recently during the week. I was greeted and told I could sit at any open table I'd like. The seating at the bar was busy, so I sat at an open metal table next to the bar. The server brought over a menu to look over. I decided on the Fish & Chips special ($16 plus tax) and the Sweet Sausage Sautee ($15 plus tax). Both entrees came out together in 17 minutes. The portions were good on both. The fish & chips were very hot, crispy coating on the outside, tartar sauce on the side. The hand cut fries were firm and tasty. The shredded creamy cole slaw was sweet & tangy. The sautee dish had a mix of al dente cavatappi pasta tossed in a light cream tomato sauce with peppers, onions, small sausage bits and shaved parmesan cheese. I managed to finish both entrees and got the check with Toast QR code which was $33.64 with tax and before tip. The internet is very weak in this part of Deerfield, so had to pay the normal way. Overall, I enjoyed a great filling meal at Big Dog Pub. I will have to return here for breakfast!

Finally, now that the 'newness' wore off, 4 of us were able to grab a table with ease. There was live music & they post on their Facebook page regularly with updates on food & cocktail specials. We decided on appetizers: nachos w/ chicken, mozzarella sticks & potato skins. The nachos were really good - I liked the chips they used. The mozzarella sticks were a bit underwhelming, similar to frozen ones I've purchased at BJs. The potato skins tasted like they were made in-house. ABOVE & BEYOND MOMENT: Our server, Jackie, was friendly & patient with our requests. I had asked if they could make a spicy margarita. She asked the bartender & they were out of their jalapeno tequila so they asked if it was okay to muddle fresh jalapenos instead. I said I trusted the bartender to do what they thought best. When my margarita was delivered, the Jackie asked if I wouldn't mind tasting it to make sure it wasn't too spicy. I think the fact they custom made the drink & ensured it was to my liking was great. I see mixed reviews about the prices. I honestly found that appetizers averaging about $15 was on the high side. We'd like to go back for dinner, maybe when there isn't live music. Very loud due to the small space. The ambience is a cleaned up version of J.J. Goodwins & there are (2) pool tables.

    Every time I visit NH, I always buy a great steak, and grill it outside. This year, a co-worker,…read moreand part time resident of New Hampshire, told me about this place. So on our way up to Bartlett, we stopped in. The lot was jammed, and we had to fight for a spot. A good sign. We managed to find our way into the Market & Butcher shop; which was packed. But we didn't wait long. Everything these days is expensive, but the meat here is reasonably priced. Dare I say cheap ?!?! {You can see the prices in the photos} The selection is vast, and they carry other items besides meat. Wine, meals to go, chips & snacks, soups, bread, beer, etc. Next time, maybe we'll try the restaurant.

    Finally got to try this place this past Monday around 5:30. The wait was about an hour and a half,…read morewhich I guess is pretty normal here, but we were able to grab seats at the bar and order right away. The bartenders were awesome. Super friendly, attentive, and kept things moving even though they were slammed. We ordered the spicy strawberry margaritas. They don't carry Ghost tequila, so they made them with fresh jalapeños and their house tequila instead, and they came out really good. Someone else in our group ordered an espresso martini and ended up getting a second one because he liked it so much. We took advantage of the buy one get one lobster roll special and also ordered the steak tips with a bunch of sides. The dill pickle potato salad was pretty good, the baked beans were really flavorful, and the mac and cheese was probably my favorite. The street corn was a close second. The mashed potatoes could've used a little more seasoning, and the Caesar salad was just your standard Caesar. The only thing that disappointed me was the steak tips. We ordered them medium, but they came out well done and didn't have as much flavor as I was expecting after hearing so many people rave about them. The lobster rolls were okay, but honestly they weren't anything to write home about. If you're really craving a lobster roll, I'd rather spend a little more and get one on the coast. I also wish the bun had been a little more buttered and toasted. Overall, I still had a great experience because the service was excellent. The bartender mentioned Mondays and Tuesdays are their busiest nights because of the buy one get one lobster roll special, so maybe that played a part. I'll definitely come back and give it another shot because way too many people have recommended this place for me to judge it off one visit. It just didn't quite live up to the hype this time.

While that may appeal to some customers, it created an extremely loud environment that felt more like a bar than a restaurant. Between the amplified music, announcements, and crowd participation, it was difficult to have a normal conversation at our table. For diners looking for a quieter meal, it's worth knowing that Wednesday nights may not be the best time to visit. The service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening, and most of the food was good. We ordered the Caprese Salad, Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread, Grilled Chicken Pesto, and a Mango Poke Bowl. I understand there was a recent menu change, which is why my daughter decided to try the poke bowl. Unfortunately, while the ingredients seemed fresh, she felt the sauce didn't complement the dish well and threw off the overall flavor. Given the $26 price tag, that was disappointing. The pricing was another area that stood out. Most of the menu is on the higher end of casual dining, but what really caught my attention was the $5.99 charge for a bottle of San Pellegrino. Restaurant markups are expected, but nearly six dollars for bottled sparkling water felt excessive. Overall, Dreo has friendly service and some solid food options, but the combination of premium pricing, the disappointing poke bowl, and the very loud trivia-night atmosphere made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. I would consider returning on a quieter night, but I think customers should be made more aware of how loud trivia nights can be before being seated.
