9 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Windham

“Hands Down My Favorite Restaurant in Windham

If you’re looking for the best food and one of the best overall dining experiences in Windham, Smoked is it. I’ve been to plenty of restaurants, but Smoked has become my absolute favorite — and it’s not even close.

The food is incredible every single time. The quality, flavor, presentation, and consistency are something you can count on every visit. Huge compliments to the chefs and the entire kitchen team — you can tell there is real pride and passion behind every plate. Whether you’re going in for one of the regular favorites or trying something different, the food never disappoints.

But what really sets Smoked apart is the people. Molly, Sam, Gretchen, Kelly, Fran, and Raegan and everyone else are genuinely some of the best people you could ever hope to meet at a restaurant. They make you feel welcome, remembered, and like you’re more than just another customer. The service is outstanding, the atmosphere is fun and comfortable, and the whole experience feels like you’re hanging out with people you actually enjoy being around.

And you can’t forget the regulars — they’re part of what makes Smoked feel like a place you belong, not just a place you eat.

There are plenty of restaurants competing for your business, but very few can deliver the combination of amazing food, incredible service, consistency, personality, and community that Smoked does.

If you haven’t been to Smoked yet, go. If you have been, you already know. This is easily my favorite restaurant in Windham and, in my opinion, some of the best food you’ll find anywhere around here.

10/10 every single time. Keep doing what you’re doing, Smoked — you guys absolutely crush it. ❤🔥“

“went there for the first time today I WILL be returning! They have the best biscuits I've had in a restaurant so far. The burnt ends had the perfect combination of crisp and melt in your mouth. I enjoyed all the food that we ordered. Thank you!“

“We did take out so I won’t rate the location or staff. The bartender that in interacted with was great.
Nice large outdoor seating in a beautiful location.
GF burger was quite good. Went for a classic cheeseburger. No issues with sensitivity or reactions (no hives, rashes, hand itches, or upset stomach - all signs I have been exposed to Gluten contamination).
I would highly recommend the food and we will be back to sit on the patio and have another.
As Aussies would say: Why wouldn’t ya“

“This is a very popular family friendly restaurant. My husband and I both had great salads and the best steaks we have had in a long time. The salads were super fresh, the steaks cooked perfectly and the side veggies were delicious. The Strawberry Shortcake dessert was super good. Our server was wonderful. She was personable and professional. We never had to ask for refills on beverages, she was always on top of it. We had a really enjoyable dining experience.“
