Used to come here a lot... before I learned what good bbq was. This is just ok. They leave the membrane on the ribs and all of the meat is just kind of bland. Not much smoke flavor to speak of. Their only saving grace is their corn chowder and chili. Both are excellent and have tons of flavor. The bar area is small, but the bartenders are always friendly, fast, knowledgeable and give the perfect amount of service to guests. Not too much and not too little. read more

Yankee Smokehouse - Smokehouse Near Me - West Ossipee, New Hampshire

My family and I have been coming to Madison for years and every year we do take-out from the Yankee Smokehouse. This year we decided to dine in and change it up. This place is a smokehouse but also a pizzeria, so we have always called it Pizza Pig because of the dual cuisine There was a 20 minute wait when we arrived and we seated at right about the 20 minute mark. We sat in the back of the restaurant along the window. It was very loud in here as there is little sound absorption- so be prepared to speak loud. We also sat next to the service area, which didn't bother us at all, but something to be aware of. The back room requires two steps down, and there is no wheelchair access to this area - but the rest of the restaurant appears to be wheelchair accessible. Our waitress was pleasant and very busy! She was handling multiple tables efficiently. I came with my whole family and the great thing about this place is that there is a little bit for everyone. Don't like BBQ? No problem - they have pizza or sandwiches , even salads. You can even get a burger. I ordered the Reuben, my kids got a pizza and my husband got the brisket and pulled pork combo. Food came out hot. Kids loved the pizza. Brisket was a bit fatty and pulled pork was dry. My Reuben was delicious. Onions rings and fries were nice and crisp and huge! Overall, nice local option for smoked food or pizza! Not sure we would get the smoked meats - maybe not our thing. But would definitely come back for the Reuben, onion rings and pizza. read more

Sat in the bar area, got the chili bowl as the app which is always tasty! Then decided to get the pulled pork sandwich which was ok but the addition of their bbq sauce made it so much better. Fries are really good too. It can ger pricey but you left feeling full. My tip is to get a cold quart of chili and bring it home. Yummm. Only thing I did not like was the suggested tip of 22% which is embedded in the bill read more

Decided to head in Friday 9/29/2023, kind of cold and rainy day. Quickly greeted by a waitress and we were allowed to pick out seats (opted for the high top table in the bar area). Wife ordered the BBQ Sampler for 1 (see picture), she liked it enough, very basic, cooked properly but very little flavor, needed to use their bbq sauce (which was solid). I opted for one of the BBQ themed pizzas HOG TROUGH (see picture). The meats on it were ok, the veggies under cooked. The red sauce had no flavor add the dough was undercooked. It certainly wasn't horrible but very marginal at best. Hopefully this was just an off day in the kitchen. I live in the area, so I'll give one more try. When I do I'll update the review. read more

This place is an absolute vibe, reviews don't do it justice. Great stop for the boys to get some drinks and bbq.

Absolutely the best brisket I've ever had, I got the sampler for 1 and it was huge servings and delicious, my husband got the haddock dinner, he said it was very good and a generous serving also! If I could give more stars in would, if you pass by this restaurant without stopping HUGE MISTAKE, it's worth every penny read more

So I was with some a group of my friends. Food had no seasoning and taste to it very bland. The service was awkward as I truly was the only person of color. The order was wrong and the waitress basically said we made the wrong order. However it was 13 in the our party and guest at our table even realize they are not taking our orders correctly. Sadly due to the bad experience and my treatment I'm not ever returning. read more

Had late lunch with friends in bar area and although the service was fine my sandwich was terrible. Ordered the cajun chicken with side of coleslaw....chicken was overdone and very small portion and the portion of coleslaw should not be considered a "side", more of a sample. read more

I entered the bar on a January Friday evening at around 6pm. There were 2 tables and 1 person sitting at the bar. One of the tables was done and the other had not ordered yet. I sat at the bar and waited about 10 mins for the bartender to take a drink order and slide me a men&u. 6:45 later and I finally cashed out on the long gone beer and had never ordered. The "seasoned" female bartender tried with all her might to not make eye contact with me for the entire time I was there doing all kinds of things like dishes, wiping other areas of the bar, etc. I had legit $ to spend and I passed on the opportunity for this establishment to separate it from me. I cut my losses at $7.06 and decided to leave my 1st restaurant review ever! read more

What an interesting combo BBQ, pizza and other stuff like prime rib, Reubens, seafood dishes, so much to choose from. I had to try the burnt ends, so I got that with a garden salad. The full salad was huge. The burnt ends were good, not overly hard and sticky like some I've had. Three others got ribs and brisket. One of them said they found it a bit dry, but the others just handed her the sauce bottle. Someone mentioned that they liked that the ribs were not very fatty. The beans were really good, the coleslaw also good. The Texas toast good. There were no highlights that really stand out, but everything was good, including desserts - apple crisp and strawberry shortcake. The service was attentive and everything came out correctly. The beer selection was really limited, more local craft beer would be nice. But we definitely plan to come back and try other things. read more

Come back for a quick lunch or dinner Everytime we are in the area. Been coming for years and years

We came with no reservations on a Saturday evening and where promptly seated. The staff was prompt, polite and attentive. Place looks like any BBQ joint you encounter in the USA, but no one comes here to see what's on the walls. We came here to see what comes out the smoker. We started out with the Cornbread and Maple butter. The corn bread was hot and the maple butter was great. I tend to like the lighter cornbread's not the heavy ones so it was perfect way to start our meal. I had the two item BBQ sampler, Brisket with Smoked Ribs. The Brisket was perfect fork cut tender and had a great Smokey flavor. The house BBQ is a tad runny but a good balance between sweet and that BBQ tang. The Ribs are easily some of the best smoked ribs I ever had. The smoke ring pink zone was all the way through at times the peppery rub they use while smoking them was great. Wish their sauce glacéd a bit but the smoked flavor made up for it and when you have that good smoke I don't think I want to mask it with sauce. Their steak fries where outstanding, crisp and meaty perfect for sharing and enjoying. My wife had a pull pork sandwich with BBQ Beans. She enjoyed the roll they used, a toasted bun that held up to the pulled pork without turning to mush and the pile of pulled pork they used in her sandwich. read more

Love their barbecue pork sandwhich. The fries are a big bonus. Have not tried the ribs or chicken

Got the dinner feast #4 ~ WOW! Full rack of Babyback ribs and smokehouse ribs plus all the sides. We will definitely get this again!

We had just kayaked white lake and we're starving and craving brisket. We googled bbq and this place came up. It had decent reviews and brisket!! Drinks were mudslides, strong but could've been a bit more frozen. We started off with some honey cornbread with maple butter and mozzarella sticks! The maple butter for the cornbread was to die for. The mix sticks were like normal mix sticks. Dinner was a little bit of everything. If you don't want a whole meal or aren't that hungry they have small orders of things. I got 1/2 lb of brisket instead of a five course meal. It was plenty! The brisket was absolutely fantastic. The perfect amount of gristle fat and actual meat. They made their own bbq sauce that was very very good. The corn on the cob seemed maybe like it was a bit old, but was still edible. My sister had a chicken salad sandwich she said was really good. They had Texas toast with every dinner. Their cole slaw was some of the best I've ever had. Cole slaw is a thing with me and I'm hard to please, so that says a lot. We had no room for dessert, because we totally filled up on dinner. If you want brisket or other bbq style food, head on down. read more

I probably wouldn't come here again, unfortunately. The ribs were dry and rubbery, definitely reheated. The barbecue beans were cols. The coleslaw was good. The service was fine. HYoy just can't reheat ribs. It's not gonna work. read more

Stopped by on the way back to Boston from checking out the fall foliage on Kancamagus Highway. I was surprised with how good the food was for the price and convenience. The restaurant had a welcoming family vibe. I got the brisket sandwich with fries and it comes with BBQ sauce drizzled on top. They give you a bottle of warm BBQ sauce if you want to add more. read more

As a truck driver I've been eyeing this place for awhile, but they were always closed I'm my travels. Well stopped there wed eve ongoing for dinner. Got a to go order or ribs, brisket and pulled pork. The pulled pork was ok, the brisket was good, the ribs.... worst thing ever. A- there was no meat on them B- they were so over cooked the little meat was like leather. I wish I say this sooner cause I didn't try to eat it till I stopped 1 1/2hrs later. I've had bbq all over the country and this was the worst. read more

Food is always very good. Not over spiced so you can add BBQ sauce to your liking. Today would have been a 5, but the lunch serviced at the bar counter was week due to the bartender talking with one couple and showing home photos while some of us were never asked how our meal was and we were waiting for condiments, and later water. It was not crowded. Good eats though! read more

I recently went to the Yankee smokehouse. I had the Ruben and though I do not like corned beef, it was sliced real thin but there was plenty of it and it was delicious. The service however was not what I would call ok even. I just wanted to place an order for takeout. As people and staff walked by me there was not one person to take my takeout order. I must have stood There for a good 10 minutes while they seated 4 tables and i was waiting before any of them came in. The food was excellent, so if you do not care about service then you are all set. It is clean and there were. O tables that were not clean in my view. read more

We used their catering services for our recent girls weekend. The planning process was easy thanks to Nancy. Food was great. Especially liked the ribs, baked beans and pulled pork. BBQ sauce is yummy. We will use them again next year, already looking forward to it. read more

We came here many years ago and ate inside. This time we ordered takeout. We spent about $50. I ordered at the takeout window, and was told 20 minutes. 50 minutes later I drove away with my food. Sad to say, the quality isn't what it used to be. I don't think I will be returning. Sorry Yankee. read more

I've driven on Route 16 too many times to keep passing by this place, so I made the trip just to check it out one day. Wasn't overly thrilled but not disappointed. Place is pretty big, a couple different areas in the building to choose from, A Bar, Casual Dining, Almost Fine Dining. Happy to find that they had a sampler platter for one. At first glance it almost looks like if you want to try 3 essential BBQ meats you have to get a big portion of each. But they broke the magic rule, my Brisket had sauce all over it, ticked me off. But the Brisket was actually pretty good. No Rub to it though, Fat could melt a little better. But the sauce Completely ruins it. It was just too powerful. Tried a small half chicken. Very smokey flavor to it, very good, very moist inside. Not completely white meat. Baked Beans are said to be famous, I wouldn't say so. Cooked perfectly to the best texture, there on the sweet side but kind subtle. Coleslaw was typical. Texas toast was typical, but a nice change up. Ribs were excellent! Not too much meat on the bone, doesn't slide right off, super smokey flavor, and No Sauce on it, Great Rub too. Pulled Pork was really good too. Not greasy, Not super moist or dry, no hard super duper flavor punch. Although the pork was surrounded completely by everything else on the plate so it might have been able to stay at a real good temperature. They only have the one house sauce and it instantly made me think of Ketchup. If I gave you a cup of the sauce and told you to tell me what it is, you would say ketchup from the taste. And they keep the sauce warm in a crock pot. read more

It was not busy, service was poor. Waitress was confrontational. Upset when we asked her for an extra to go container. She snapped at me and said,Why what are you taking. Insinuating we were stealing something. End bit app delicious. Corn was soggy and fries cold. Tried to tell waitress but she ignored us. Overall..okay read more

I can only attest to the cornbread being XXL, the honey butter that came with it being great, and the mac n cheese being cheesey. Oh and the cocktails that they were serving out of a truck in the back were enjoyable, but also full of different liquors, so maybe not great for afterwards... Friends said the meat was fine, but not as good as others places they've been to. read more

I'm a southerner who moved to NH a while back. So take that into consideration when I talk about BBQ. I come from the land of pulled pork. The GF and I went here this past weekend on a trip to see foliage. The food isn't bad. They did GREAT with the brisket that I ordered. Tender, smoky...good. Their fries were average. Their chili had too much sugar in it for my taste...chili shouldn't be sweet, though the chunks of meat were definitely better than the ground round so many places serve. If they hadn't added sugar it would have been great too. The GF's pulled pork was moist and tender as it should be. No complaints there. But...their sauce was kinda...meh. It was underwhelming and I would have liked to have options of different styles or kinds. It wasn't sweet enough, or smoky enough...it just wasn't...barbecue enough for me. All in all the place is a solid 3.5 stars...giving it 4 cause it won't let me do half stars and the waitress was nice. read more

The front of the business confuses you a bit. We got the impression that you order at the window, pick up at the window, and then sit yourself inside or outside around the back. Which isn't a bad option. All shades during a hot summer day like the one on the day I went there. So we ordered, picked up and went to sit ourselves down and we got some dirty looks and confused looks but NO ONE a decided to come up to us after several awkward seconds to tell us that we could have ordered from the inside and not gone through the "take out" option which is outside. We sort of sat ourselves and then ONE waitress actually treated us MUCH nicer than the folks giving us the awkward looks. It was such a pleasure to see that there are still good humans in a pack of nasty people. Enough of the service. If you want to avoid sitting inside and dealing with the staff just head on outside. Or eat in your car. The food: I had the brisket and chicken meal. I thought it was WAY overpriced for the amount that they gave you. I could have easily gone across the street and gotten some Macdonalds afterwards. The chicken piece they gave me was probably less than a chicken breast you buy from the supermarket. The chicken was juicy but OK. The fries were good. Traditional, nothing extraordinary at all. The brisket was 3.5 out of 5. Nothing out of this world. The coleslaw was good but they give you a spoonful. Same for the baked beans which I didn't like all that much. I didn't have their corn bread but I heard from my in-laws that it was GOOD. Would I return: Maybe in a pinch where I have to get my kids something but I wouldn't go there with my wife by ourselves if we could help it. In the end, this place didn't really stand out in taste and flavor and the service and attitude of the staff took away two or more stars unfortunately. Our waitress added a star to this review. She might have saved this review but it's just my experience. You might have a totally different one. Good luck. read more

This place is very eye catching. Went with too high of expectations. The chicken was chewier than gum. The 'garlic Texas toast' tasted like a sock, bland.. the best part of my meal was the fries and I could go to BK for much cheaper. Considering the pricing we thought we were in for a treat, however we were wrong. Sort of weird that a bbq joint sells pizzas??? Should have known... Waitress was nice! read more

This place is okay. The corn bread and maple butter is the star of the show. I got the pig out pulled pork sandwich! It was a yummy sandwich which bacon on top. The main concern for me was how Wierd the BBQ sauce is! It's like a wierd sweet ketchup that taste nothing like BBQ sauce. It's just Wierd going to a BBQ place and having bad BBQ sauce lol. read more

Ordered the SmokeHouse rib dinner, the ribs were extremely dry and bland. The waitress went back and got some more ribs, those too were dry and bland. I was very disappointed in the quality of the food, as I was once the pit cook at this establishment many years ago. The only thing the ribs had going for them was that they were hot. The waitress was great and that is the only reason I am giving this place two stars. read more

Stopped in for lunch while on the road. Service was friendly, food didn't take long coming out. Food was hot & fresh. 4stars *only* because half of my brisket sandwich was fatty & inedible. They make their own BBQ sauce, which was yummy & tangy! Overall a good experience. read more
