Smokin' Barrels

We had our wedding catered by Smokin’ Barrels, and the food was absolutely incredible. From cocktail hour through dinner, everything was delicious, and our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was. Mike was always checking in throughout the night and made sure our plates were always full. His care and attention truly stood out, and it showed in both the quality of the food and the overall experience. We are so grateful to Mike and the Smokin’ Barrels team and cannot recommend them enough.

We dropped in as a group of 14 after a funeral and had a GREAT experience. This was our second visit and the food/service were awesome!! Loved the Mermaid Water and S’mores-tini! Great BBQ with so many options! We’ll be back next time we’re in town!

TL;DR I love Smokin' Barrels and you probably will too. I will start by saying that I live in Boston and I work in Portsmouth, and Smokin' Barrels is easily worth the trip up to Barrington any day I'm in the office, as well as worth the extra time added to the commute home. From the outside, the building looks like a beat-up roadside diner, but the inside is a stylish, inviting family dining environment. While not a large dining room by any means, there is plenty of seating and a variety of options whether you like a table, a booth, or just a seat at the bar. The music is pretty dead-on for a roadside BBQ, with a lot of classic blues tunes providing a mellow and tangy underscoring to the whole experience. The food is fantastic. The very first time I visited was post-lunch rush, and the

Most of the menu is à la carte, portions literally seemed measured. Spent $30 and left hungry. Food was just ok at best. Thought I’d give them a chance but Goody Coles 15 minutes away is half the price for twice the food and much better tasting. Service was good and everyone seemed pleasant. Might be a good hangout/bar place but I’d avoid it if you just want BBQ

Hands down THE BEST pickle fries. Anytime I crave fried pickles, I look for an excuse to travel the 45 mins here to get these. The meats are great and good portions for great price. The maple dusted wings are also a hit! Their cornbread is a little different, i had never had it with hints of jalapeño but still really good. Can barely wait for them to cool before digging in. Highly recommend trying this place!
