    As a Mainer who spent years in Texas, I've eaten enough BBQ to be a little skeptical whenever…read moresomeone claims to have "real Texas BBQ." This place didn't just meet the standard, it raised it. We ordered the pulled pork, sausage, chili, and corn on the cob, and every bite was phenomenal. When I complimented the owners, they kindly brought over a rib for me to try. Up until that moment, I would've bet good money that I didn't like ribs. Turns out I just hadn't met the right rib. The food was incredible, but the owners were even better. Genuine, welcoming, salt-of-the-earth people who make you feel less like a customer and more like a guest at their table. Finding BBQ this good in Maine feels like spotting a longhorn in a moose yard. If you're anywhere near the Moosehead Lake region, make the trip. Just be warned: this place may ruin other BBQ for you!

    We were in the area and decided to stop in for a bite. We are really happy we did…read more The place is spotless, the owners Kim and Mike were friendly. It's an order at the counter place. My husband and I each ordered sausage sub. It was outstanding. Just enough spice, hot off the grill with onions and peppers on a sub roll. If I were to make one recommendation it would be to increase the size of the sub roll. So delicious though! On our way out we grabbed two homemade molasses cookies for the road. They were AMAZING. I haven't had a homemade molasses cookie in 40 years but I'll tell you, this was the best I've ever had. I get that the hours are hit or miss. It's a mom and pop shop. If you're in the area and they are open stop in. You won't regret it. We will definitely stop in again.

    BEST BEEF JERKY EVER…read more Ahem. Seriously, though, we still dream about that jerky. And the ribs. Oh, those pork ribs! I am salivating just thinking about them now. Mmm... As soon as we got back to our cabin, the charcoal smoker was fired up and those ribs were lovingly tended to and then thoroughly enjoyed all evening. Just go there - their food will speak for itself. (And if you love the jerky, too, and don't live anywhere near there you can have it shipped on their website! Even found it at random small specialty/local food shops, like City Feed in Jamaica Plain, MA.)

    You pretty much are required to pull over and stop at roadside jerky shops when the sign reads…read more"Wicked Good Jerky." So I did, and man was that wicked good jerky. I opted for the $3 "to go" pack you can find at the counter with four fairly large sized pieces of jerky in them. They also have a bigger 20-piece one as well. The store also sells local beef and pork, sausage, and all the fixins you could imagine to go with them. It was more like a convenience store for a backyard barbecue. The Strip Sirloins for $8.99 were thick cut with not too much fat per piece, so I purchased one to split with my husband (cooked last night with just salt & pepper and butter in the pan .. yes, I did it on the stove .. and it came out tender, moist and delicious). I also picked up a package of maple sausage to make on my husband's birthday and it is phenomenal. The flavor was perfect, sausage forward on the front with the sweet taste of maple to finish. Perfect for breakfast. I'm glad I stopped - but for those of you not passing through town, they will ship if you go through their website.
