Great place, kind of out in the woods. Food was great and so was the service.

Absolutely the best BBQ in New England! Every time I've been to Smokin Barrels the food and staff have been incredible! And they have real sweet tea! Something this Southerner loves! Portions and prices are more than fair.
If you love BBQ, you need to check this place out!

Tried to call several times to confirm the restaurant was open, but got the voicemail so went by the business hours listed on the website and on google. Drove over an hour (one way) only to find the restaurant is closed. Lights are off and it’s currently 3:20pm on a Monday.

This is a great BBQ place, with amazing food, nice atmosphere, and very friendly, professional staff. It's conveniently located right on the Calef Highway in Barrington, which can make it tricky to get in and out of the parking lot, but really easy to get to from the surrounding communities. We've been coming here fairly regularly for both dine in and take out, since they opened a few years ago. They occasionally retire some menu items and add new ones, so it's always a fun experience to try out the new stuff as it's released. Definitely stop by and check out their menu whenever you have a chance - you will be happy you did.
The Food was delicious and well portioned. I've never seen Deviled eggs on a menu before. They were an eclectic blend of dill, maple syrup with a piece of andouille on the top. Sounds weird but it blended well with the palate. Poutine was tasty but I prefer brown gravy. The Country gravy on the poutine would have been better if it was poured on after the french fries crisped up a little more with the melted curds to prevent the gravy from curdling but it was tasty. The Brisket was on point. Juicy, flavorful, and healthy portions. Smoky Mac and cheese was one of the best I have tasted in the area, It was creamy and rich. Corn bread, baked to perfection, had jalapenos which gave it a nice little kick. Their slaw was delicious. Not sweet or too much vinegar. Red onions was a great addition, however I would have liked for the shreds of cabbage and onion chopped up a little more instead of long strands to chew easier. Jerk Chicken did not disappoint. No skimming on the spice.Baked beans looked savory traditionally with a piece of fat on top. I ordered the very refreshing Berry Mule mocktail (Any drink on the menu can be turned into a mocktail.) I personally would order the Mac and cheese big portion with Brisket on top rather than building my own plate. It came in a cast iron skillet with corn bread. Overall, I definitely will be back. Very reasonably priced and delicious BBQ

I took my family here because we wanted BBQ and seen the good reviews, but we were very disappointed. The place was empty aside from one older gentleman eating by himself and a few people having drinks at the bar. We waited nearly 10 mins to be seated. We ordered drinks - were super weak and expensive at that - around $10 a drink. We ordered a poutine, which was pretty good, however the brisket was EXTREMELY dry. Probably previously made and reheated, considering they werent busy. I had Brisket and mac&cheese for my entree. The brisket was a little better than what was served with the routine, however portions for the sides were extremely small considering the cost. My girlfriend had pulled pork with the loaded potato salad, which she enjoyed aside from the small servings. And our kid had a cheeseburger and fries. They were generous with the fries. Overall it was a very lackluster experience considering the bill was over $85 for the 3 of us with very little food. We were swatting flies away the whole time. The pictures of the menu i looked at on here are outdated as everything has gone up in price significantly. I understand now why they were empty and there haven't been much for reviews in the last 3 months.

Food was fantastic. We got the single barrel each which is one meat and a side, I had ribs with loaded potato salad and my wife had brisket with the Mac and cheese. Portions were large and prices were very reasonable and food came super fast. Together, check came to $34 before tip. Everyone was very nice and seemed to genuinely enjoy their work. Highly recommend!

I've been coming here frequently for over a year now. The staff, service, and food have always been phenomenal!!! I would highly recommend it if you're in the Barrington area. The menu and specials change frequently enough that there is always something new and exciting to try! 10 out of 10!
