    Fun spot to find out in the "country". Awesome service and food was good! I'd recommend this anyone nearby.

    I've been driving by for months so I called in takeout for my ride home. I am not a brisket connoisseur but I have had my share and I have to say that this was the tastiest briskest I had ever had. I just got the sandwich (brisket, jalapenos mayo and crispy onions) but it was sooooo good with tons of meat perfectly prepared with just the right amount of sauce and toppings. My mouth is watering as I write this. Place looked cozy with a nice bar inside. If you whiz past it turn around, it will def be worth it. P.S. Photo doesn't do it justice.

    Grits and sausage, brisket w Mediterranean salad and fries.

    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.

    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!!

    Sitting at the bar for lunch today...
    Frank P.

    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!

The steamed buns were some of the best I've ever had anywhere. The sweet braised pork inside was incredible and the crunchy veggies and herbs, and soft steamed bun were perfection. The chicken satay was perfectly seasoned, and the peanut sauce it came with was light and saucy and super flavorful. We got the pad Thai with chicken. It was saucy (not dry at all like it is in many places), fresh, and perfect amount of noodle/egg/sprout/chicken ratio. The sauce was so flavorful and tangy. Amazing! We also got the yellow curry with chicken. Again, amazing sauce, perfectly cooked veggies and chicken. A good size portion of rice with it. Very very good curry. The menu has lots of vegan and vegetarian options too. I'm a big fan of Thai food, and have had it all over the country, in dozens of Thai restaurants. This place has outstanding Thai food!

The tortilla was fresh and slightly flexible even after cooking so you could bite it easily without it bending or the filling falling out. The flavor was awesome and the texture was perfect, the heat was just enough and went so well with the sauce. It's his new favorite and he's still talking about it. I guess that means a return trip and soon!
