Poor House Bar-B-Q is a hidden gem that serves up Southern-style barbecue with an emphasis on quality and pride. The menu features delicious options like pulled pork, ribs, and wings that are "out of this world." Salads are also a highlight, made with fresh ingredients and tasty dressings. The restaurant is large, spacious, and airy, with different yet connected rooms suitable for both larger parties and intimate dinners. It is located in the center of town, making it easy to access for visitors heading to Mount Cardigan, the Academy, or the Hanover/Lebanon/Dartmouth area. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, with plenty of space, toys, and a kids' menu, making it family-friendly. Service is attentive and friendly, and the restaurant offers easy wheelchair accessibility with a ramp and ample parking. The venue is perfect for enjoying hearty barbecue meals, including specialties like brisket, pulled chicken, pulled pork, and spare ribs, often served with sides like coleslaw, Texas beans, and sweet cornbread. Recently, customers praised the large portions and flavorful dishes, noting that the food is great but sometimes served a bit warm rather than hot. Overall, Poor House Bar-B-Q combines good food, a relaxed environment, and family-friendly features, making it a popular local dining spot.
