603 Bar-B-Q

Well worth the 1.5 hour drive! As a midwest/southern gal, I have been looking for a great bbq joint in New England and 603 nailed it. The Texas Twinkies as a must, but you really can't go wrong here. The only part of our meal that I'd skip next time is the banana pudding. Make sure you get there early! The line wasn't too bad, probably because it was Valentine's day, but it was still at least an hour from lining up to getting food.

Amazing food! We came here for lunch and almost stayed for dinner. They are barbecue sauces are diverse and tasty and the brisket is the most tender I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this place.

Top 2 contender for best BBQ in New England, maybe even the original 13 colonies. The line is long and you'll be waiting a while, so get there early or they'll begin running out. They move quickly though; I didn't feel like I waited long between ordering and receiving my plate. Beef brisket, tender and succulent. Pork ribs, a little on the sweeter side and with a good snap. Burnt ends, tender and savory. Jalapeno cheddar sausage, great snap and strong jalapeno flavor (I prefer it). Baked beans, tender, salty, and sweet. Mac and cheese was FUEGOOOOO. I like a solid yellow mac and cheese, this hit the spot. Large portion, tasty, and al dente.

Best BBQ I’ve had in New England. If there’s one thing that’ll get New Hampshire folks lining up before opening, it’s BBQ. This spot has only been around for two years, but people were already waiting over an hour when we showed up. The chef trained in Texas, and from the counter alone the meats looked straight out of a Central Texas smokehouse. Instead of the sample platter, we went with three half-pound cuts: brisket, burnt ends, and pork ribs. They don’t allow ribs on the platter anyway, so this felt like a better move. For brisket, we chose fatty, and while it wasn’t the most tender brisket I’ve had, it was the best I’ve had in New England. Fatty but never excessive, and balanced in flavor. Most importantly, I could eat a whole chunk of lean parts without a sip of water. The pork ri

This is the second time I stopped for barbecue, the first time the line was out the door and down the street. Friday afternoon, rainy day, so it wasn’t super busy. But most of the tables were still full. I ordered the brisket, ribs, and mac & cheese to go. Everything was excellent, good variety of sauces too. It took about 20 minutes for my order to be processed and delivered. Prices were comparable to other barbecue places in the area. I haven’t eaten at every barbecue restaurant in the state, but I’ve sampled my fair share in NH, TN, NC, and TX. There’s a reason this place is highly rated.
