This is their first yelp review in almost 4 years ... what's that about?…read more Anyways, I've been trying to sample their food for almost 2 years now and it's been impossible because they've been private catering exclusive for about that long now. Im glad they are doing so well but the thing is that if a food truck is doing this good that it is booked for private catering pretty much every week of the year, then by god they better have something special! So I keep checking their Facebook posts to see if they are ever going to offer a public date. They hardly ever post anything on their Facebook. And even when they do it's just teasing because it's stuff that I can't get unless I book them for myself. Finally a post comes along in July 2021 "We'll be at the Grass Drags!" in October. I had it written on my wall so I would never forget. I've never been to the grass drags but I was determined to get their BBQ. I didn't look into it, shame on me, but apparently I had to get a ticket to get in. Place must have been just as busy, if not MORE, as the friggin Big E! I think it was $20 a ticket, so I had to cough that up for me and my girl. $40 down the drain already. Oh and that was after the mile long walk to get into the place. We found the Hickory Stix truck easily enough only to find out that ... all they had were pulled meat sandys ... and some sides ... no sliced brisket, no ribs (you know ... the things that imply the name "Hickory Stix") Im sorry, when I want to taste the art of a BBQ place I need to eat their Ribs at bare minimum. Sliced Brisket is Second. Pulled stuff if there is nothing else, I don't ever EVER EVER Need it on a Sandwich! And yet that's all they had. So they had like a slider sampler combo, like a pulled Chicken slider, a pulled Pork slider, and chopped Brisket slider. And some Mac and Cheese and Beans. And that was something stupid expensive I can't even remember. And thinking my girl doesn't usually eat this stuff and there is tons of other food options around that I KNOW she'll like ... She waits till I'm about to pay for my order and she orders a pulled chicken sandwich ... And I can't make a big deal out of it in front of everyone so I have to dish out another $20 or whatever. So I've pretty much spent $100 now and I didn't even get to taste the one thing I thought I was going to get. Naturally she only eats about 1/3 of her sandwich which was the size of the slider that I got and I didn't even want to eat it. Short review time. All the meat was cold, but nothing gross, Beans were okay, Mac and cheese was excellent, Cornbread was meh, Slaw was terrible, done. Oh! And then my girl wanted lemonade and a caramel apple and candied nuts and french fries and friggin jerk chicken over rice that she took 2 bites of and said she didn't want it anymore ....... I spent about $200 that day for nothing. Tried to enjoy the grass drags and water drags for about a minute just so I could get something out of the day .... and then she complained it was too loud and wanted to leave ..... So anyways, I'm single now.

We had their BBQ at the 603 Brewery Fall Festival, which was included as part of our admission…read moreticket. For $25, we received two beer tokens ($5/each) and a BBQ sampler ($15). The BBQ platter included three sliders, beans, cornbread, and one other side (mac-n-cheese). The BBQ was good, what you could taste, as they put a tiny little speck of meat on the hearty buns. They certainly could have been more generous with the BBQ at ~ $4/sampler. I added some of their sauce to my sliders and it was flavorless - a brown liquid that wasn't sweet, sour, or tangy. The beans were a bit spicy and quite good (contained pineapple - a nice touch) and the corn bread fresh and moist. The mac-n-cheese was dry, luckily they only included about half a teaspoon of this side.

Smoke Shack Cafe in Londonderry, NH is an absolute gem and has quickly become one of my favorite…read morespots in the area. Their food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and it's the kind of place you look forward to coming back to again and again. The tacos, brisket, and chili are all outstanding - the brisket is tender and flavorful, the tacos are loaded and satisfying, and the chili is rich, hearty, and perfect any time of year. Their new breakfast menu is also a huge win, with creative options that still deliver that classic barbecue comfort, and it's great to have a local spot doing breakfast this well. Prices are extremely reasonable, especially considering how generous the portions are, so you really feel like you're getting great value with every meal. The staff is friendly, attentive, and down-to-earth, which adds a lot to the overall experience and makes the place feel truly local and family-run. The vibes inside are great - casual, cozy, and laid-back - and it's just as easy to pop in for a quick bite as it is to linger over a relaxed meal with friends or family. I also really appreciate that there are many clearly marked gluten-free and dairy-free options on the menu, which makes it so much easier for people with dietary restrictions to order confidently without feeling limited. Highly recommend Smoke Shack Cafe to anyone looking for fantastic tacos, brisket, chili, and breakfast in the Londonderry/Loudenberry area - this place absolutely delivers on food, price, and atmosphere.

I can only give 2 or 3 stars for the food. I ordered a brisket plate with cole slaw, baked beans and a corn bread muffin. The brisket was tough and too well done for my liking. The cole slaw was tasteless as were the baked beans. My favorite thing was the corn bread muffin. The cafe itself is clean and welcoming. I wish I could have given the food a higher rating.

The recipes are a bit different now but the quality of the meats and sides is high (often stellar) across the board. It's a trailer with smokers onsite. A few covered picnic tables allow comfortable eating, and there's even a supply of beach chairs for more relaxed eating. -- St Louis Ribs: A half rack came out a little on the thin side compared to previously, densely bumpy on the surface with a potent rub and a light basting during the smoking process. Lightly crusty on top, very tender underneath, with moderate juiciness and great flavor in every bite. Excellent. -- Ribs with Raspberry Chipotle Sauce: Same St Louis ribs, only glazed with a sweet but complex sauce with a little kick. It complements the spices on the rib surface very well and grows on you even if you're one of those no-sauce types. Excellent again. -- Pulled Pork: About as perfect as you can get. Tons of delicious bark, lots of good color in the meat, a juiciness that doesn't even require sauce, and a pronounced flavor from the spices used before and probably also after smoking. No dryness or steaminess anywhere; just perfect contrast of tender and barky throughout. Only possible improvements would be a little more smoke and the availability of a vinegar sauce, but there's not a single pulled pork in New England that can touch this. An absolute pleasure. Elite. -- Brisket: A thick slab had little ripples of fat, a sturdy outer bark, good flavor, and meat that was mostly closer to very moist and fairly tender than the previous regime's reliable floodgates of juices and extremely tender, but still a top 10% brisket. Hoping for a return to top 1% next time. -- Brisket Bacon (a frequent special): They take slabs of pork belly, prepare them like brisket, smoke them, and slice them thin for delectable finger food. It's not cured, but the strong rub, the wobbly tenderness, and the succulence of the meat are more than enough to more than satisfy. What's almost as remarkable as the deliciousness and texture is the lack of intrusive fat-- you can bite into these slices without any trimming necessary. One of the best barbecue items I've had this year. -- Sides: Coleslaw was a crunchy, vinegary rendition. Mac and cheese was sharp and extra thick-- more of a sludge than liquid. Baked beans were sweet, spicy, tangly, and meaty. Overall, very good to excellent. Water: Free bottled water in an ice chest is a very nice touch. Not a perfect day, but a very, very good one that very few barbecue joints in New England can come close to duplicating. With two wow-worthy items, two excellent ones and one very good one, plus quality sides and service, this gets an unquestioned upgrade to a 5. (The previous regime was a 5 on my last several visits too but I never got around to an update until now.) Looking forward to more great visits before the season ends.

Last week, for the first time ever, we ended up with a steak that just wasn't up to their usual standard. Honestly, it's so rare for them that we didn't think much of it, but my husband stopped in today and mentioned it. What happened next is exactly why we keep going back. They didn't just acknowledge it -- they went above and beyond. They replaced it with a free NY strip steak, and on top of that gave us Prime Butcher playing cards and a big bottle of their "Everything" seasoning. Completely unexpected and absolutely appreciated. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days. They didn't have to do any of that, but they did -- and it speaks volumes about who they are.
