    Mac cheese and Ribs
    BB Q.

    Sweetfire Short answer, don't waste your time. This place is more of a small local bar and a guy in the back has a little bit of a side passion for BBQ. First 2 times I've tried this place they told me they were out of almost everything and they were only open for 1 hour, parking lot empty. Third time they were out of Brisket and I figured that was the best I was gonna get. Ribs were small and microwaved and tasted like regular boiled pork. The rub on it was interesting. Definitely a Brown Sugar, Nutmeg, Clove, Ginger, Sage kinda vibe. Enjoyable unique sweet rub but still didn't do much for the rib. Mac and cheese was meh. Not completely cheese sauce goo but pretty much. No spices not even some black pepper. Chili wasn't great either. Very very basic if you ask me. Pulled pork was Okay. Not stringy, more chopped but dry. I think the most enjoyable part of the meal was the mild BBQ sauce. Just hit right. I liked the sweet too but it was a bit too sweet and thick.

    What a great find! This hidden gem is located off the main drag along Mulberry Street. Sweet Fire BBQ has the atmosphere of a local roadhouse bar, which houses the full bar and table & booth seating in one room (dim lighting). The walls are decorated with old pictures and signs and there's a pool table and a CD jukebox too. This place seems to be popular with the bikers, who seem to know where to go for good food. The menu offerings is not extensive, but pretty straightforward, primarily BBQ fare including ribs, smoked chicken, beef brisket, and pulled pork, platters and sandwiches and homemade sides too. They also have appetizers, chili, salads, quesadillas, messy sandwiches, hot dogs (Hebrew National), and burgers. Homemade desserts are available too. On Wednesdays, it's All You Can Eat Pulled Pork ($9.95). I stopped in for takeout and ordered some a la carte items including a Pulled Pork Sandwich ($6.50) with small sides of Smoked Mac & Cheese ($1.95), Cole Slaw ($1.25), and the KIXX Maple Corn Muffin ($1.00). I was also going to get the popular Mom's Baked Beans, but they ran out. The service was efficient and the food was ready for me in about 10 minutes. All of the food I had was excellent. The pulled pork (sweet BBQ sauce on the side) was very tender, mostly lean meat and minimal fat. The smoked mac & cheese had a rich smoky cheese flavor as advertised. The cole slaw had a nice twist, which had a sweet taste with minced red cabbage, carrot, dried cranberries, and pecans. The maple corn muffin had a good coarse texture of corn bread with the right amount of sweetness. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner. Sweet Fire BBQ is a definite must stop on my future rides through the Upper Valley.

    I stopped in Sweet Fire BBQ for a weekday lunch. It was noontime and it was a very quiet. I was the only patron inside. The only staff person was friendly and assisted me in ordering. A local bar, with kitschy decorations everywhere, this place appears to need a good cleaning or an update, and it was very dark inside. The BBQ was just okay. I went for a pulled pork sandwich, which came dressed simply with a bun and sauce on the side. Stale, tortilla chips also came with the sandwich. The pork was dry, and needed much sauce. It was however, good and tasty. They were out of coleslaw. How can a BBQ place run out of slaw? It was not even busy. I would go back again, as this is the only place to get decent BBQ in the area. A side note: They have a old Grand Union Supermarket lobster tank in the front, with 2 large Choi fish. Poor fish, it is sad to see them in such a small spot.

    Every summer when me and my partner come up from NYC we always make a point to visit Sweet Fire for excellent BBQ at unheard of prices. The brisket personal platter is what I crave most but the other meats are great too as are the sides. Back in the day they used to have free cornbread with REAL maple butter but I can understand why that might not have been sustainable for them. The other notable thing about Sweet Fire is the "alt" atmosphere which, in a town where there's a gun militia and Trump lawn signs abound, provides a welcome oasis. We are an interracial couple on top of being New Yorkers but we've always been welcomed. The main server, called Momo, is super friendly and passionate about BBQ so definitely chat him up and don't be intimidated by the tats and piercings! Beer also is dirt cheap. And the homemade sauces!

    First the positive. The beer was great. Our waitress and service was very good . But, the food was way below average. Won't go back.
