This is our first time in the area and coming to this place. We were greeted upon entering and got seated right away. The atmosphere was comfortable and the staff was very friendly. The food was really good and portions were a lot. We did not finish and ended up boxing it. Really enjoyed the food. I love that they have a dog menu with a great background story. Would definitely come back.
Ate here two days in a row during my stay on Mt. Desert Island. First day I tried the lobster roll (requested no lettuce), it was excellent and the roll was nice and soft. Fries were great. Next day I had the sampler, the chicken, pulled pork, and ribs were great but my favorite was the sausage despite not being a fan of spicy foods. The mac & cheese also had a spicy kick I didn't care for but was otherwise excellent. You won't go wrong stopping here.
Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. We had the pulled pork and the sampler with a side of Mac and cheese. The chicken and ribs were really good. Pulled pork was okay. All of their meats have a dry rub. They have sweet BBQ sauce at all the tables and offer a spicy sauce, too. The Mac and cheese had some fresh cheese on top that added some nice salt to it. The cornbread we had was a bit dry. There was live music outside when we were here on Monday night. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. They also have highchairs. (For patrons with babies, the bathroom I went to did not have a changing table.) There is a parking lot that was full when we got there but we got a spot after waiting for a few minutes.
We ate on the patio because we had two dogs with us. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming to us and our dogs.
Our waitress, Erika, was delightful and gave us great recommendations for lunch. We got mugs of soup, a sampler of the BBQ and the pulled pork sandwich. We also had a slice of blueberry pie for dessert. The dogs each got the pulled turkey off the menu and everyone was very content. I really enjoyed the sausage and smoked chicken but everything was delicious. Make sure you get the hot sauce!
The food was fantastic. Ribs fell off the bone. We ordered the sampler and a pulled pork sandwich. Cool atmosphere to sit outside on a nice day & service was quick & friendly!
I’ve been to Carolina, Texas, and KC, and honestly, the meats at this place rank. The wings in particular were some of the best to grace my taste, so don’t miss ‘em jumping to the mains. The sauce and sides could use improvement; they’re okay, but don’t really elevate the meal (try mixing their spicy and sweet sauces for best combo). Good service, good space, good drinks… and the whole meal was the cost of a lobster roll. Drop the fish, hit this dish.
Unbelievably good BBQ. From Texas, I was fully prepared to nitpick the dishes and sides, but I swear this was as good or better than most BBQ I've had in Texas. Ribs fell off the bone, so succulent. Pulled pork was perfect. I almost never order chicken, but theirs was top notch. The sausage was different than in Texas (no jalapenos, more Italian spiciness), but just as good. And the sides were so solid too: mac and cheese, potato salad, even the cole slaw was on point.
Two bonus points that put it all over the top: really friendly and helpful staff, and surprisingly good prices. We're here for a month, and fully expect to be back once a week, and probably take some to-go for the road.
Well done, Mainely, thoroughly impressed on all counts.
Maybe it’s because I was hungry or maybe it’s because it was just great, but this was some of the best barbecue that I’ve ever had. The sausage was so good and the chicken had a delicious, smoked flavor that was incredible even before I drowned it in sauce.
I got this platter for a family of four, but I’d get the same thing even if it was only me, so I could have all the leftovers.
Only complaint… (and I know I’m in the North but) sweet tea. Nothing is better with smoked meat than sweat tea!
Take Out Order-Full rack of Ribs with Mac & Cheese, side order of smoked chicken wings. Everything was delicious, ribs prepared perfectly. Probably among best ribs (Quality, Quantity and cooked to perfection) I've ever eaten. Highly recommended! We'll be back!!
Really nice place to dine. Unlike most of MDI their prices are reasonable. Very cozy outside seating and a cornhole set up for you to enjoy. Pulled Turkey sandwich was okay, I wish it had some vegetables, but their coleslaw helped with that. My friend enjoyed their pork ribs.
