I was passing through Center Harbor And popped in for lunch, and I am very happy that I did. I found a cute clean barbecue joint that served up excellent barbecue loaded with flavor and was juicy. I ordered the RBBBQ platter, which was more than enough for one person and could easily be split by two. High-quality brisket, rib juicy and tender with a nice bark. The kielbasa melted in your mouth and the pulled pork was great. Bonus is they had mustard barbecue sauce. Winning.

Great BBQ People were friendly

Fantastic....the ribs fall off the bone and the beans are some of the best I've ever had. Everything is fresh, the place is super clean and we spoke with really friendly staff!

My husband & I visited this past weekend. We enjoyed ourselves at this quaint spot. The atmosphere & decor is really nice. The customer service is great as well. We shared a meal for two & added an extra side. We paid about $57 and were full! Our meal came with two sides, ribs & chicken. They have really good bbq sauce, one regular & another spicy. The sides were amazing (baked beans, Cole slaw, Mac & cheese, cornbread). My favorite was the baked beans! I’d go back just for that if I could! However, we were a bit disappointed with the meat. While it was tender & falling off the bone, it lacked flavor. The bbq sauce helped a bit. Overall, would recommend if you’re in the area.

Amy, Rocco, and Jordan are absolutely amazing! Friendly atmosphere. Feels like you walk in seeing old time friends. Food I can’t stop eating. Tried Rocco’s Cowboy candy and can personally say who doesn’t like spice I loved it.
And their Southwest Corn chowder is definitely something to write home about.
Let’s just say definitely worth a trip.

I had an amazing experience at Rubbin' Butts BBQ! I ordered the brisket with mac and cheese, and both were absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The service was impressively fast, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The prices are fair, especially considering the generous portions and the quality of the food. There’s also a great variety of menu options to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. Plus, the view of the lake adds a relaxing touch to the whole experience. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

We did take out of various items and absolutely loved it all. Local gem whether you need a quick lunch or dinner or you need to feed the family or food for an event. A must stop if you're in the area.

Great experience. Best service and best food ever
Carlos Zorrilla
One of the few authentic BBQ restaurants in the area. It offers the option of take-out or if you want to eat in, it also has a small space.
Very friendly attention at all times.
The food was very good, the banquet for two was quite filling and at a reasonable price. My favorites were the Mac & cheese and the ribs.
The pastrami was excellent! Our new favorite. Quick and kind service as usual.

My dad and I were heading up to the White mountains for a family camping trip. We stopped here for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised. We've tried BBQ all over the south and some up here and this ranked right up there with our favorites. He had a brisket sandwich and I had a pastrami sandwich, both excellent, but the surprise came with the pickle. He ended up buying a container and they were a hit at the campsite. Will definitely come back if I'm ever up that way again.
