Service was exceptional and the price was reasonable, nice decor. The portions were good and the selection of meat and sides was very good, nice smoke on the meat, unfortunately the food was just average. Also had a a side of Mac and cheese that had very little flavor. read more

I've been driving by for months so I called in takeout for my ride home. I am not a brisket connoisseur but I have had my share and I have to say that this was the tastiest briskest I had ever had. I just got the sandwich (brisket, jalapenos mayo and crispy onions) but it was sooooo good with tons of meat perfectly prepared with just the right amount of sauce and toppings. My mouth is watering as I write this. Place looked cozy with a nice bar inside. If you whiz past it turn around, it will def be worth it. P.S. Photo doesn't do it justice. read more

Smokin' Barrels BBQ - American Near Me - Barrington, New Hampshire

Was a great friendly place. BBQ is good. Better than most. Server pleasant and accommodating. Overall great experience.

What a great place to stumble upon as we crawled along Rt 16. Got something completely different, the grits w smoked sausage and pork belly w a corn muffin. Very good at about $14. Friend got a plate with one meat and two sides. They do it oddly there where all meats and sides are paid separately. Comfy seating and good service, although pretty chilly inside tho. read more

Smokin' Barrels BBQ - Grits and sausage, brisket w Mediterranean salad and fries. - American Near Me - Barrington, New Hampshire

The "level 2 spicy sauce" for their "wings" is a PHENOMENAL meal! It's billed as an appetizer, and the 'wings' are actually MASSIVE. The spicy sauce is REALLY spicy . The Stoneface IPA is amazingly good. The turkey sandwich was only 3/5 stars; average Remember, the Stoneface IPA is amazingly good. The service is very very good. And the ambiance is like a FRIENDLY'S restaurant. Okay, but not great. HIGHLY recommend it. read more

We went there last night..It was less than expected given past reviews. My husband had the ribs,beans and corn bread. The ribs needed more sauce,which they charge $.50 each..The cornbread needed more butter..The beans were very good I had the pulled chicken sandwich .Being a WW, I know how much 3 ounces is and the amount was chicken less and dry..I was not about to pay $.50 for more sauce. I had the bacon blue sweet mashed which was good I don't think we will be going back read more

We don't usually leave 2 reviews but this place deserves more kudos! Food was delicious, great IPA selection, and the service was fantastic. So grateful to have this place in our area! read more

So I came here for the second time and everything was perfection. I was greeted immediately with a warm smile by Cassie so I decided to sit at the bar. Cassie took amazing care of me and the other guests never missing a beat to check on us all. As for my lunch, I started with Brisket French Onion soup, then added the Single barrel (ribs and fries). The ribs were so tender that I could pull the meat easily off the bones with my fingers. I would highly recommend dropping by and trying one of their ever changing specials. Enjoy! read more

Had a full rack of ribs in the dining room with some very tasty sides. Love this place and this night we had Kea as our server and she crushed it. She was perfect on timing our meal, had a great sense of humor, and made us feel very welcome. We will absolutely be back!!!! read more

Waitresses were great, fast service however the food was dryer than the Sahara desert and flavorless. Best thing was the hand cut fries.

I had heard that Chronicale was doing a piece on 3 NH BBQ joints and I knew who the other two places were so I was excited to hear the 3rd place. Turned out to be this place which I thought was still at the beach? ... Then I find out this is a whole different place I've never heard of so I got really excited and visited the next day. Got what they call the "3 Barrel" 3 Meats 3 Sides. Way too much food but damn it looked glorious. Ribs, Pulled Pork and Brisket with Mac and Cheese, Beans, and Cornbread. Also their Deviled Pickled Eggs I had to try. Brisket, they broke my first rule, BBQ sauce on top, don't ever do that. But other than that it looked traditional, good smoke ring, looking a bit on the drier side. After a few bites I have to be honest ... I couldn't actually tell if it was Brisket. It was dry, No Flavor, No Bark, No of that traditional peppery flavor, I could tell it was at least smoked but I feel like I might have gotten pork belly. The meat itself was okay minus any other flavor you could add to meat. Pulled Pork was very orange in color and obviously stewed in some sauce. There was a fist sized hunk of unpulled unchopped pork right in the middle of it which kind of blew my mind. Cooked well enough, great texture and taste for a sandwich. Ribs. Came with 4 Ribs, no bark to them, good sized ribs. Taste was not super smokey, the meat was very tender, great pork flavor, but there was some other flavor in the ribs that is hard for me to describe. Almost like Ham. The flavor I can relate to the most is like a nice smoked ham. I don't know what they do to get it like that or if they're trying to but it sure did taste like that to me. Sauce. Liquidy and very sweet. Borderline Teriyaki flavor Mac and Cheese, cheese goop on shell pasta with some buttered bread crumbs on top. Didn't look too promising. Ate it and changed my mind immediately. Cheese was a little stringy, with multiple different cheeses, the pasta was nice, some kind of spice was in there and it should have been black pepper but it wasn't. Still pretty good though Beans were a bit orangey too, big pieces of pork or beef fat. Gravy was thick and really stuck to the spoonful. Bean flavor was the most prevalent, a bit sweet, maybe a tiny tad bit over cooked because the beans just exploded. I don't typically like the meat in my beans, cowboy style, but in this particular one the meat actually paired well. Deviled Eggs, Looked good, smelled good, pickled a bit with some sweet bits of bacon cubes and maybe some dill herb, maybe fennel. Tasted really good but of course you need to like pickled stuff and that mustard taste of deviled eggs. The pickling is mainly what I could taste but the spices mixed well with it. Awesome flavor. Maybe not quite as "pickley" as some pickle lovers might be hoping for but it's definitely there. And I personally like my hard boiled eggs still a bit soft in the whites so it has that nice jello kind of texture, these ones are a bit harder like the premade ones you might get from a store. Still will buy them every time though. Cornbread is sold as a side in the form of 2 little small muffins. Moist, buttery, kernels still in the bread, very good cornbread. Came with some cinnamon butter that was a bit over cinnamony. Took me a second to realize that this was actually jalapeno cornbread. Very subtle but I just happened to notice some green veggie in the bread and realized it was a sliver of jalapeno. Very good ratio too, just enough to get that fun flavor of the pepper. So I'd say their sides are killing it. Their meat is more on the unique side but could use a little work. read more

Ok Seacoast fans.....here it comes the long awaited opening of Smoking Barrels on rt125 in the great town of Barrington NH. Giving you a sneak peak of what's to come. The Grand Opening is like this week!!! It is well worth the wait trust me!!!! I got a chance to sneak in prior to grand opening and gorge myself in all the goodies. I love the way they rediscover the establishment in the country style including a 1 piece 30 foot bar top that took several strong backs to install. The goal - the food......mouth watering, all good across the board. Killer ribs and brisket that's so good already but even better with the bbq sauce. Order extra cornbread, it's like the best ever!!!!! Try this place out, it's a well needed breath of fresh air in the area, come on in to the new location on rt125 in Barrington. The read more

Fox is good. Outdoor smokers great service friendly staff very consistent would definitely recommend this restaurant

I'm from Texas and a fan of Central Texas BBQ brisket, so I typically eye most BBQ I see in New England with a bit of suspicion. I still try it anyway hoping that it will be great, and this place does not disappoint. Just to get it out of the way, the brisket is not Texas style, but it is delicious. The fat is perfectly rendered on the fatty parts and nice and crispy. The lean parts also have crispy fat, and it is moist and cut correctly against the grain. The sauce was good, and not overdone, and the crispy onions were a nice touch. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. read more

Smokin' Barrels BBQ - Pulled pork,(amazing) ribs, pork belly, bacon, andouille sausage, sweet mashed potatoes, corn bread and beans.. beans amazing!! - American Near Me - Barrington, New Hampshire

I've been here 3 times, I always give a place 3 chances. Sometimes food is great, sometimes dry and slopped together. One time I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was great. Next time not so good and last night...well... Last night was the last time. First and foremost is the terrible urine stench emanating from the bathroom right when you walk in the front door (not a good place for a bathroom anyway). Had to go, unfortunately, use the restroom, and I could barely make it through hand washing - got terribly nauseas from the horrendous smell. There's a urinal across from the toilet, low water table, bathroom looked clean but the smell was one of the worst I've smelled, around the world, even in a nyc bus station. So, to start, I had to overcome nausea. I almost left at that point and I probably should have. Second, the ac was on too high. I like it cold but it was a refrigerator in there, had to get my jacket out of the car in August! When I said something to staff their answer was "it will get warmer in here later when all the customers arrive"...mind you it was 5pm. They never turned it down, despite other complaint from patrons, and there were all of 10 customers in the whole place. I should have left at this point too but I decided to give it a try because I was hungry. Third, the wait staff were pretty friendly and bubbly and the bartender made a pretty good peach smash mojito type drink. Cosmo was on point. Service was ok. They were more focused on each other than the customer-whole different tone of voice when talking to customers kinda like fake. When you bring someone a basket of overcooked goopy whole wings please bring a pile of napkins and wet wipes! I had to get napkins out of a canister on the bar with my yucky hands. Not cool! Food - corn salad was awesome. Deviled eggs were old and "wet", not sure what happened there? Chicken wings whole were unappetizing...how do you fuck up a chicken wing? Precook it then slap it on the grill and pour bbq sauce over it, maybe even yesterdays leftovers, bring them out too soon and put some very watery tasteless ranch dressing and 5 celery sticks with it? That's how. Inside was cool and dry. Outside was crispy crispy - hate the "whole wing" concept because 1 part you can't even eat anyway. BBQ sauce was ok in my opinion - had the level 1. Overall I would say 2.5 stars So I gave you a generous 3. Food can be improved but you really have to figure out the bathroom thing. Not good feng shui! And listen to your customers next time they say they are cold! A great service restaurant would have turned the ac down. read more

Went here prices outrageous for 2 ppl a bbq sandwich fries and Putine or however you spell it. It cost 73.00 with a tip. Goody coles down the road double the food, half the price. read more

Flavor and the tenderness are on point. The only thing I didn't like as much as othet menus was mac and cheese. A bit too greasy and not enough cheese for me but beans were the best one I've ever had in my life. Recommend mustard for sausages and spicy sauce for anything! read more

Great BBQ restaurant. The service was great, our server Justin gave us some great recommendations. The special he recommended candied ham with apples was a big hit for the whole table.

The brisket was ok. Disappointing on the dry side. Otherwise the beans were good. Very cool bar area and vibe. Nice decor.

My boyfriend was discussing eating ribs this past weekend- about every other hour or so- and on our way back from a wedding in the mountains we stumbled across this place. So glad we did! Food was exactly what we were looking for and we had plenty to take home. Our entrees (full rack of ribs for him, brisket sandwich for me) were great but the poutine fries were UNREAL. Not pictured because we gobbled them right down. Check out Smokin' Barrels! read more

I had the cheddar grits with sausage and it was delish!! We were both pleasantly surprised at how good everything was !

I just had lunch here and enjoyed it very much. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The food and atmosphere were very nice. My only negative would be the price of drinks. My spouse and I had 2 Margaritas each for $46. That was over half our check. For the size and Quality I believe $7.50 - $8.00 would have been reasonable. read more

Melt in your mouth ribs, great Cole slaw, and the maple bacon ice cream is otherworldly.

My wife and I happened on the Smokin' Barrels BBQ this week and were blown away by the food, drinks and service. The bar tender was welcoming and the owner Michael came over and talked about the BBQ process as we have have travelled through out the entire US and experienced BBQ in many many places. Michael offered some great sauces including a hot bbq sauce made with ghost peppers. love the HEAT on my brisket & Ribs and can't say enough about the "Meaty Beans". Happy to have you here within 40 minutes of my home. Mike & Sue Sorkin read more

YES there is great BBQ in New Hampshire. Brisket is tender, flavorful, the ribs, juicy. And the portions are big. You taste the smoke from the meat not chemical seasoning. Go ahead. Try other places. I'll see you here read more

The food here is amazing! My parents are from Canada so I've eaten poutine all my life, but this poutine was the best I've ever had! The corn bread with the sweet butter is something you should definitely order. My husband got half a rack of ribs & got the smoked Mac n cheese. He has a healthy appetite and he couldn't finish it . I got the cosmo for a cocktail and it was pretty strong. Our waitress was a young college student and she was great. The service and food was really really good. I highly recommend! read more

First visit. Started with the Brown Sugar Old Fashion, petite but tasty, the spiced simple syrup left a nice finish. Shared the grits with andouille and fried pork belly, with sides of pulled pork and collard greens. The grits were perfect, the creamy comfort food you'd hope for. The andouille was mild and not overwhelming. The pork belly was fried and dry. Pork belly should be carmelized, juicy, like the fat, easy sister to bacon she is. The pulled pork was delicious, the corn bread and cinnamon butter nice, the collard greens more broth than greens but tasty enough to sip down the broth too. Portion, prices reasonable, service was great. We'll be back. read more

Great smoked food and when you pair their barbecue with Connor's daughter, a dark peanut butter, chocolate stout brings out the taste of the barbecue immensely super delicious read more

Food and service were excellent! What a great find. Even the non-meat-eater in our group was happy!

Pretty decent bbq. Had one barrel brisket. Brisket could have been a little more moist. The accompanying beans were excellent, lots of brisket meat and nice flavor. Wife had pulled chicken, which she enjoyed. Nice bbq sauce with superb fries. She also had capt. Eli's root beer that was on tap. Wow was that good. Had Cajun fries as an appetizer. Fries cooked nicely and terrific spicy taste. I would go back just for these. Only down sides, floors are slippery if feet are wet and trying to get on/off 125. read more

Have tried it three times. It's ok. Brisket is hard to perfect, this is their area to really shoot for improvement. Missing that outer crust and smoke ring. A good rub would go a long way given Ben the price charged. read more
