Bark Barbecue Cafe

I stopped by Bark BBQ in Stevensville, MD and tried the BBQ Pulled Pork Bark Bowl — and wow, it was amazing! The pork was perfectly tender and full of flavor, and the portion was generous. Every bite had that perfect smoky goodness you hope for in great barbecue. The sauce complemented it perfectly without being overpowering. You can really tell they put pride and care into their food here. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food came out hot and fresh. Definitely one of my new favorite spots on Kent Island — I’ll be back for sure!

This place should be on everyone’s list to check out at least once! I came across it as an up-and-coming BBQ joint in Maryland, and since my wife and I are big BBQ fans, we had to make the trip. We drove a few hours to get here and arrived within the last hour of service. We ordered the platter for two ($42), which was a great value. Since they were out of chicken (a good sign—it must be 🔥), we added pork belly instead (additional charge), and it did not disappoint! My favorites were the brisket—both lean and moist cuts were excellent—and the ribs… OMG 🤤 absolutely 🔥. The pork belly was also on point, with crispy edges and a deep, smoky flavor that hit just right. The chipotle aioli, Alabama white and bbq sauces were solid. For sides, the standout was the collard greens. They had that sl

Really great barbeque! I loved the brisket burger as well as the platter. The veggies were an odd addition to the meal, and the serving looks cheap. Otherwise an amazing place!

Bark BBQ Cafe is a nice restaurant that's off the beaten path. The BBQ was decent, earning it a solid 3 stars. The brisket had a nice smoke ring and was very tender, the pulled pork sandwich was a little bland, but the star of the meal was the smoked pork belly that alone was worth the trip. As far as sides the garlic mashed potatoes, and laser potatoes were delicious. Overall, it's a good spot if you're craving BBQ and are in the area, but it didn't quite hit that "wow" factor. However, with it's well-rounded menu that offers breakfast options and cafe favorites like Affogato's, it's a reliable choice sure to satisfy the whole family.

Top notch with a great set up. Easily the best barbecue I’ve had in the area. All of the meats and sauces are excellent! I especially enjoyed the pork belly with the peach hoisin sauce.
