This is my go to place for brisket in southern NH. They also have something here that i can't find anywhere else: Hog Wings. Get them dusted. You won't regret it. Sides are above average, the standout for me is the Mac and cheese. Good selection of beers on tap. Pairs wonderfully with the food. read more

To start with, I love another bbq place in NH and will periodically drive 40+ minutes to get their food. I watched this place open and drove by it way too many times before I had time to stop in. I am glad that I finally did! Now I can get a bbq fix without a 1/4 tank of gas. I had the brisket sandwich and 2 sides. Nice moist lean meat, generous portions, on a lightly toasted brioche bun. For sides I chose the hush puppies; an excellent job on those, not too dry and a good sub for your cornbread fix. The coleslaw reminds me of a cross between Popeye's and KFC, a little bit of chopped pickle or maybe pickle relish + a little on the sweet and wet side. They automatically will serve you a nice crisp pickle spear on the side that's a mild-ish dill. They offer housemade sauces and (recycled) paper towels on every table (plus salt & pepper). I tried the Bourbon and the Lil Spicy and both were quite good! I think the spicy may be a bit more than "lil" to some folks, so try a dab before you slather it on. They also offer a Chicken Paste, House Sweet, and Haus Gold (mustard based). Cooler drinks and draft beers are the libations! I had an iced tea. The counter staff was very upbeat and friendly. The prices were very reasonable for BBQ. I paid $14.48 for my meal with beverage. I honestly could have split it with someone I didn't get to try the bread pudding, too full haha. They had a couple of specials on the board; today listed a poutine that sounded amazing with maple bacon, but I couldn't handle that by myself. I will just have to drag some friends along next time. You can sit inside or out, plus there is a short bar counter also. Plastic utensils are conveniently right by the register and aren't the flimsy ones! They do keep it pretty clean at the tables. While I sat outside someone came and checked all the tables for sauces and a wipe down where needed. Looked clean inside as well. So kudos to Smokehaus giving me a new go-to! read more

We go by the Dublin location frequently and we saw the "Opening Soon" sign and decided to give it a try next time thru. Yesterday we stopped and we're glad we did. The restaurant itself is very nice. Not too upscale, just very comfortable and nicely appointed. The young lady who took our order was very patient since we weren't familiar with the menu. I ended up ordering the 2 meat combo with brisket and pulled chicken, with cole slaw and mac and cheese. The brisket was tender and flavorful and the pulled chicken was very good as well. Cole slaw and mac and cheese was VERY good. Could have made a meal out of the mac and cheese all by itself.The SO had a pulled pork sandwich and cole slaw and she said they were also great. I just found out they have a Amherst location as well so we'll try that one next. Highly recommended. Go there. You won't be sorry. read more

Extremely disappointed. I assume I received the last of the last scraps of brisket as they posted it as all gone on the board after I completed my order. Also marked as all gone was chicken, chicken wings, and pork. I am dumbfounded how on a Friday night a business could be out of meat before dinner is even served. I will let the attached photo do the rest of the talking. $13.00 for this. I am deeply bothered and will revisit when I am no longer as heated as I am (I guess at least something was heated tonight cause my meat was cold) read more

Fantastic food! I drive an hour to visit once a month for lunch and to take some home. Cole Slaw is out of this world! Great brisket, pulled pork and chicken. Nice people. Highly recommend! read more

Wanted some Buffalo Wings but they said they sold out around lunchtime so got some brisket and brisket chili, my wife got the pulled pork platter with 2 sides. Brisket was great, tender and juicy, chili was fantastic with nice chunks of brisket in it. My wife said the pulled pork was pretty good and she got coleslaw and Mac & cheese for sides with cornbread too. I'll have to go earlier next time to try out the wings as they sounded very tempting read more

Fantastic BBQ, great atmosphere! We stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon and there was a really talented musician jamming in the corner that reay made it. We loved the fatty brisket and the beer selections was awesome... not your typical assortment of 15 IPAs :) Highly recommend! read more

Wandering NH on a day off. Glad we got here before noon - parking lot and tables were nearly full. It's the classic chalkboard menu, order at the counter place, with a few barstools and half a dozen tables. I got pulled pork platter with hush puppies and coleslaw. Hush puppies were awesome - right from the fryer, crunchy on the outside, perfectly cooked inside - yum! Pork was incredibly tender. I tried their house sauce and sweet sauce - both good, but didn't knock my socks off. Coleslaw was good - crunchy fresh with a slightly creamy sauce and some tanginess. The tang in it came from pickles, which I don't care for, but that's just personal taste. Hubby had brisket sandwich, which they offer fat or lean. Mr. No-gallbladder chose lean, and it too was falling-apart tender. He like the hush puppies, but was disappointed that they don't have cornbread. They have beer and hard cider to drink, along with bottled water, sodas and teas. Service is quick and friendly, food served on paper-lined metal trays. We'll be back if we're up this way again. read more

We went to get a brisket sandwich and bbq ribs. Upon arrival, both were unavailable. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich. He reported the meat was dry, the roll fell apart and he found two pieces of cartilage in his sandwich. I ordered the wings, they were okay. The baked beans were delicious. For those reasons= two stars. We were disappointed. read more

Good BBQ they sell out often. I judge a BBQ place by the sides they serve first the only thing they are lacking is a good ol smashed potato. Love their beans although ther has been way to many onions one time cole slaw is top notch my kid enjoys the Mac and cheese. Fries are the crispy hand hit kind A+ I haven't tried everything on the menu yet I drive by ( at least I'll try to Drive by) haha. It not easy i usually just get the brisket for meat and it's perfect if you get it earlier in the day. If you love authentic BBQ I think this is your place nice owner good staff. Nice deck outside to tear up some ribs read more

This is an easy review. These people do things right. Meat quality has always been good. Sides are tasty. Beer is cold. Good variety of hot sauces for those who crave more acidity or spice. I have stopped here many times (whenever I can create an excuse to do so) - never disappoints. 4 stars because it is a road stop. 5 for satisfaction. read more

I went to their new place in Dublin. New Hampshire. Food was incredible. Service was great. I would highly recommend people to go there. Thank you so much for a great experience. read more

Ate lunch today March 27th 2024. Ordered the brisket plate with two sides. Brisket was warm, dry and had to be old. Reheated many times. Service was good and friendly. Food was gross, especially for a $25 plate of brisket. Fries cold. read more

Was not impressed. March at 1 pm. Only lean brisket and tiny ribs still had skin on the back. Mac n cheese was warm at best. Beans were tasty. Would not recommend if your not from around here go to kc ribshack. This is not a pit master. If it was good a few years ago it's not now. read more

Man oh man, what a place. Drove about an hour and a half to go to a nursery close by and Yelped what was around. Smokehaus came up, reviews were great, so what the hell. Looked up the menu online and ordered over the phone. Food was super fresh when I arrived. Side note: I am SUPER DUPER picky about my sides when it comes to BQQ places and this place blew it out of the damn park. I ordered a pulled pork plate which comes with two sides and a massive slice of bread. First off, the pulled pork was so tender and had barely any fat in it. For sides, I chose the mac and cheese (which are always hit or miss with these places, mostly misses) and baked beans. LET ME TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, this is the first BBQ place that I've tried that actually has creamy, tasty mac and cheese. You could tell it was homemade with love. The beans were phenomenal. They had pieces of pulled pork in them with small onions that added a great and unique flavor. The only thing I would have to complain about is the sauces. I chose the maple bourbon sauce and it tasted too alcoholy (I know, not a word) for me. My mom had gotten the sweet sauce and it was much better. I appreciate a place who smokes their pork and doesn't douse it with sauce. They let me choose what (and how much) I want to put on it and that's a nice change. 100% recommend. (P.S. it's a good thing I live far away, otherwise I'd be there every week). read more

They're ok. Not the best BBQ but not that bad either. Watch them tho cuz aren't super generous with the sizes and when you ask for fatty and lean, you won't get much fatty- mainly lean. They could be friendlier also. Overall not bad, but not phenomenal. read more

Authentic BBQ. Highly recommend this establishment if you know and miss southern BBQ.

I really, really, REALLY, want to love the place. They're veteran owned (and the wife and I are both veterans) and the food isn't bad - when they have it.... For the longest time I've given them a pass as they just opened and feeling out the volumes. But, the last at least a dozen times I've called an hour or so before closing (mind you they close at 6:30) and they've been out of 2+ meets and often a few sides.... We started calling after going in only to find they're sold out of chicken and some other meet... Being the only BBQ place in the area we find ourselves wanting to stop by. Now, we're so frustrated at both the lack of availability and staff that just brushes off the constant shortages that we've just started going to Manchester or down toward Milford (passing right by them) to grab dinner. Honestly, I've toyed with opening a place down the street to fill the demand.... A shame - quality isn't bad, but more than disappointing when you'd like grab decent BBQ, but every time you try they don't have food to sell.... read more

Fantastic! Great food. Super friendly staff. Always consistent! Best BBQ I've had outside of Stubbs in Austin, TX. read more

Stopped by there today for Lunch, 3-23-24, Disappointed with the food. I ordered Brisket and Pulled Pork, Hush Puppies and Beans. The Best part was the Beans. Brisket, bland, not much flavor, almost too tough. Pulled Pork, warm and also bland. I was looking to try other Barbecue Places, now I know that this Place for me is One and Done. The place was clean and well staffed, the Food just Sucks. Back to my Go To KC's. read more

Been here twice in the last two months. Have to admit that I wanted to love their BBQ. Sadly I still feel that their fries were the best tasting menu item. The pulled pork meat was disappointing. Texture was off and the BBQ sauce was meh. 2nd time tried brisket (lean when offered a choice - who wants "fatty"??). It was not brisket like I know it. It was huge strips of dry meat with little flavor. Maybe my mistake for choosing lean but I do not enjoy fatty meat! And the hot BBQ sauce was watery and not very hot. Looked like they added horseradish but not sure. I've had BBQ all across the US. This left me wondering why all the great ratings. Having said that, I like the casual atmosphere, local draft choices, and well, the fries . Oh and the neon sign. Maybe my expectations are just too high. read more

We tried this for the first time and were very disappointed. We ordered 2 pounds of beef brisket to go $58. The majority of it was very fatty and the outer pieces were so charred and salty we couldn't eat it. About half of it was consumable. The half that wasn't burnt or fatty was actually very tasty. For $26.99 a pound we expected some nice leaner cuts of beef not what looked like bottom of the pan scrapings! read more

We hadn't eaten here in over a year. I was happily surprised by the improvements. The sides were all excellent; best collard greens we've ever had and the creamed corn was delicious. Ribs and pulled pork were fabulous. So many tasty sauces to choose from. You should give them a try! It was worth our hour drive! read more

Arrived 2 hours before closing time and ordered a 3 meat combo plate. Pulled chicken, pulled pork, and hog wings were all that was left. Food was decent with the exception of the chicken and pork being served cold. Very shortly after arriving all meat was sold out so the staff started closing up shop while we were still sitting at bar eating. Nothing like trying to enjoy your meal with the strong smell of a mop bucket 2 feet behind you. Also went to order a second beer to wash down my food but the register was shut down already, so I was basically told to go pound sand in not so many words. Food was ok but this dine in experience was total crap. I understand selling out of everything means time to close up shop, but maybe let the customers who are still there finish up before shutting everything down and assaulting their nostrils with cleaning products. read more

Amazing bbq with great value! The only mistake we made was going late on a Saturday night when a lot of the things I wanted were sold out- but that's just how good this place is! I imagine they smoke everything before opening and then when they're out- they're out! I will just have to take a return trip to try out those ribs. I got the brisket and you have a choice of lean or fatty. I chose the lean and it was a great piece of meat. Lots of smoky flavor and very tender. I tried the mac and cheese, which can sometimes be underwhelming at bbq places, but theirs is stellar. It has a rich creamy and flavorful cheese sauce. The beans were actually the highlight. The sauce was bursting with flavor and there was a ton of meat mixed in with the beans. Smokehaus has a lot of local beer options at a great price. Coming from california, getting a beer for $6 and good bbq for under $20 is unheard of.. so this place is an amazing jem for me! read more

It's so damn good. Def the best that I've had in NH. The brisket is lean or fatty deliciousness you choose! The chicken is smoked to perfection. The bread is great on Sandwiches the fries are a ridiculous portion size and crispy mouth watering goodness. The sauces are rad & they have beer too! read more

Mac and cheese was great as well as the coleslaw. The Brisket was dry, I've eaten Brisket at many establishments and here was the only place I've had to use a dipping sauce to add some moisture. The Ribs were an extreme let down. I had to muscle the bones apart, leaving tough inedible meat. They tend to run out of their "best sellers" and should maybe plan better. Tonight was our 2nd attempt, we walked out the first when they were sold out. Not really planning on visiting again soon. *edit* While I appreciate the owner's response it does not explain the horrible ribs. I may believe that if I myself was not a cook, that yes makes ribs. The ribs I got were not slow cooked correctly. Slow cooking allows for nice tender meat not inedible cardboard. read more

Stopped in here for takeout lunch today, and got some amazing brisket and fries! The brisket sandwich - half "fatty" and half "lean" was delicious. Added some bourbon bbq sauce, which was very good. The fries were very tasty, just the right amount of crispness, and freshly made flavor. The staff was friendly and helpful. They had opinions and were willing to share them, which was good for me as a first-timer there. The decor is very cute, would love to stay next time, hopefully bring friends! [After reading some unhappy reviews, I'll say that for a real bbq place to run out of meat before dinner time is not unusual - I encountered this in TX and was initially shocked, but that's why going for lunch is the best!] read more

Ok, I stopped in to try the ribs, last time I came here was later in the day and they sold out, now I know why! Usually ribs are smothered in bbq sauce, but this had a dry rub with very lite sauce baked on. The flavor was savory and what a rib should taste like, other bbq restaurants should take notice these are the best!! Also, had the best coleslaw with fries. Staff is always helpful and accommodating, my family love this place, one suggestion we would love to see mashed potatoes and cornbread for sides. read more

I have been a regular at Smokehaus for about 18 months. I usually go once a week. I will preface my review by stating that I was born in NC and have relatives in Texas - so I have had some of the best barbecue in the US. Smokehaus delivers when it comes to the pride they take in delivering a unique barbecue experience that they believe in. I appreciate them sharing their journey with food and barbecue with southern NH. To all of the critics out there - does their barbecue check some of the same flavor profiles of the mesquites/hickory's of the south? Quite plainly, no they don't. But that doesn't mean you can't find satisfaction in the 'Que that they do. They make NH barbecue that is uniquely theirs. Barbecue is typically learned and perfected over time and if you take the time to listen to their experience you will grow to appreciate the process and their journey. My favorite protein is their brisket - I have had it with sauce and without - it is always fresh and I like how you can choose lean/fatty or a combination of both depending on your mood. I have also enjoyed their pulled chicken, pulled pork, chopped pork sandwich, hog wings and chicken wings. Also don't forget to check their specials - the riblets dusted are a favorite and the buffalo Mac and cheese and smoked mashed potatoes are also tasty pleasant surprises when they show up on the board. On the sweet side I have touted the fried bread pudding to friends who have told me they would drive from Manchester to get that alone. They have a good variety of sauces with something for just about everyone. I enjoy the sweet and the new lightning sauce which has a tangy/vinegar kick that is delicious on lean brisket. The staff and owners are extremely friendly and appreciative they really respect their customers and value their opinion. They are also always trying new sauces/sides and different specials - which keeps things fresh and shows they are always looking to grow and evolve. Good meals/dining experiences are worth driving to/planning for so please make sure you plan to get there early if possible so you can experience their offerings for the day with no limitations. Thank you for coming to the area Smokehaus! You may not be NC or TX but I'm glad you are who you are and that you're sharing your craft with southern NH. read more

Amazing food. I must be on my 100th order of the fatty brisket plate. Get that with the fries and bakes beans and you're eating like a king. A+ food thanks from a local neighbor! read more

We were surprised. The food was sub par and it felt like it was reheated. Cornbread was cold and dry. Not a lot of moisture in the brisket or chicken. Goody coles and KC's rib shack blows them out of the water. read more

Drove by this place everyday for the past 9 months and decided to stop by and grab a takeout, due to COVID-19, they are only doing takeouts, but I can see they might put some tables outside in the future? Staff were extremely nice and said they appreciated my business a few times. It was close to lunch time and I just walked into order, they are people waiting but my order was ready in about 10 mins if that. It's a nice place inside and and out. Sorry I didn't take any good pictures because my family grab them all as soon as I got home. Food was excellent and portions are generous. Will definitely stop by again read more

You guys Rock!!! Love your brisket & bottled sauces! Always consistent, Yum yum! I do make way better ribs though, has something to do with a smoke ring from some pecan chips & a bourbon sauce. I expect that though as no one can top my ribs, heehee! read more

I finally stopped in to try this BBQ joint. I got a 2 meat combo (brisket an ribs) 2 sides baked beans and cream corn. Well first off, the cream corn was awesome the best I've ever had, the baked beans were good also. They have 3 styles of brisket and I got a mixed which is fatty and lean. The brisket was really good I'd definitely get that again. Now for the downer, the Ribs.....to me the ribs were about as tough as Chinese spareribs.....I was hoping the rib meat would just fall off the bone which that didn't happen. The meat was tough and I ate at the picnic table and the ribs were altogether and I had no knife and my hands were messy from taring the ribs apart. I will come back again and get the ribs. And I'm just hoping I got a rib rack that was just removed prematurely from the smoker. Thank you. read more
