My nose caught the smell of the two smoker grills wafting Texas-like aroma of pork, and chicken . . . My brain said, "be patient"! Let's give the Maine BBQ Pit masters a chance . . . So what, if this 5 year old BBQ establishment is now located in a large 1884 white New England style house, that use to be a funeral home? It's lunch time, let's step inside.
Once inside, looked much like a home with small tables & chairs spread apart throughout the different rooms that would have been the living room, den, front room parlor, etc. Once seated, we removed our covid maskes, our masked server ( I think her name was Chloe) handed us a menu to share. I asked for a dark beer, and Chloe recommended Mr. Grumpypants.
Then we settled on a combo plate that included pulled pork, chicken, and brisket with a side of fries, and complimentary cornbread muffins.
I enjoy barbecuing ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and brisket at home often . . . So my "bar is high". Only 10 minutes into enjoying my full bodied Grumpypants stout beer, the combo plate arrived. We lathered up our chicken, pulled pork, and brisket with both the sweet & spicy bbq sauces. ( Both sauces are similar to Stubbs, which is very good) My wife liked the warm cornbread muffins. I liked the crispy french fries, as our side.
A wonderful lunch experience! The owner and BBQ pit master, Dave appeared in his apron and talked a bit about his barbecuing background. . . mentioned learning years ago in a Florida BBQ establishment. He also mentioned the history of his current location.
Overall, I would rate the BBQ foods as DELICIOUS . . . I need to come back and try the RIBS, and other sides ( potato salad, cole slaw, etc.) I only can give 4.7 out of five . . . until I return and sample ALL the choices on the menu.
Thank you, Dave !
