A unique roadside Restaurant! The bbq chicken was large and flavorful. Menu has good variety and the service was friendly and fast.

Just Ribs Homemade Cornbread
Ashley W.

The service was quick, attentive, and very friendly. The ribs were sweet and tender enough. There was live music, one singer with a great raw voice. She sang to the customers sitting in rows of picnic benches outside under a vaguely circus looking tent with lights. This is a very family friendly and dog friendly place. The crispy burnt bits on it were delish! They ran out of the ribs right after I placed my order around 7:30, so make sure to get there early to ensure you get it! I got a side of corn bread, which you could definitely skip maybe go for the potato salad or something. It was just cold and mid at best.

Lobster Roll

This place has really turned around the last couple years under the new owner. The BBQ is fantastic and the seafood is super fresh and delicious. We got the BBQ combo with ribs, chicken and pulled pork. It was all tender and cooked perfectly. The house BBQ sauce is amazing. We also got the fisherman's platter with breaded and fried scallops, shrimp and cod. The breading is light and delicious. I don't think we've ever had better. All the seafood is brought in multiple times per week from Boston, so it's always fresh. Our daughter was raving about the lobster roll. We all had a great time and we will probably be back again next week!

Core memory!

Unpretentious, casual, and classic. Was it the world's greatest BBQ? No but the ambiance was lovely, the beer was cold, and the wait staff was polite and efficient. 5 stars is for the layout and ambiance. It looks like the owner works hard to keep things going. My kids had a blast and they are insisting we go back. If you're looking for a relaxing time where the kids can have some space to play at the playground - this is a great spot. Enjoy!

Dining area, live music

After coming to Placid for 20 years and not visiting I was camping nearby so walked over. Staff was VERY friendly and efficient. Food (lobster roll and crab cakes) was delicious and there was an extensive list of local brews, fairly priced. It is under new ownership so some older reviews may reflect start up hiccups.

Lobster roll (2 roll dinner  w/ coleslaw)

Delicious BBQ flavor, crisp fries, mac and cheese was so good (a little flavor of beer cheese and bacon). I'm not a huge BBQ person and got the lobster roll, but when I tried my husband's ribs & chicken, I knew I should have gotten the dinner. Ribs weren't dry or tough and waffle fries were the best!

Me and my husband split this and couldn't finish at all

The food was delicious. The service was great., the ambience was perfect for the area old time roadside food. Everything was delicious ribs chicken hotdogs, everything

Half Chicken - BBQ with corn on the cob and cornbread
Azarel B.

Saw this place driving to the Olympic center and it was interesting enough that I decided to stop. It's a barbecue restaurant that mimicked a summer camp. They had a gift shop and bar in these cabin like sheds. Also a children's playground and fire pit. We were a little early for the entertainment but there was a live band setting up. It was a cool atmosphere. As for the food; The seafood chowder was great. Very flavorful and as described. I also ordered the steak tips with waffle fries and cornbread. The steak had a great flavor but was nearly inedible. It was so hard to chew. The cornbread was very sweet. It tasted more like a muffin top than cornbread. It was good on its own, just tasted weird after a bite of the smokey steak The waffle fries were the best I've had in a long while ( for all my French fry addicts ) and they also have the strongest coke I've ever had. Stronger than McDonald's Sprite.

Signage

A decent find. It's a satisfying summer spot with mostly picnic table settings serving satisfactory BBQ and lobster bake. It's a throwback to summer BBQ joints that used to dot the area. They do have a playground for the kids and a decent beer list. Ribs which were tender and smokey. BBQ Chicken was also good. The BBQ sauce is more tangy than sweet. The sides are hit or miss depending on how you like your potato salad (theirs is tangy with a lot of mayo) or mac n cheese (white cheese and casserole elbows). Overall, worth a stop in.

If you like grease that hasn't been changed in a while you'll like Tail O' the Pup.
