12 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Salem

“Great beer and food. Staff was amazing. We cant wait to go back!“

“My boyfriend and I stopped here this afternoon and we were lucky enough to snag the last rack of chipotle raspberry ribs. Thank goodness we did too because those were the BEST ribs we've ever had hands down! Sweet, heat, fall off the bone... You seriously can't ask for more!!!“

“We’ve had Jonathan as our waiter several times and he’s exceptional. Ask for him. To be honest, the only sides we’ve liked are the pit beans and fries.(sorry guys!) I LOVE the pit beans. Ribs and wings are very good.
They need a sign on the sidewalk that says BBQ. In these modern times, the business name SMOKE SHOP connotes a vape store. In fact when they opened, I told someone that the Outback Restaurant had become a vape store! I later learned it is a barbecue restaurant, and a very good one.
Beware, the “Hot” bbq sauce is HOT with a spicy after-kick you’ll remember.
Ask for the fatty brisket. Delicious.“

“Always a good meal and excellent service.“

“Had work lunch catered with a couple day notice. They helped me plan my menu, gave me ideas. It was so easy. Food was ready and hot when I picked it up. What a hit, there was barely anything left and people kept coming up to me saying how wonderful it was. The fried chicken is always delish but boy was the chicken parm and other foods amazing!!! Love it there!“

“Outstanding service by the staff as always . Donnie is extremely professional and a true asset to the team, he made what seemed like it was going to be a not the best experience into a very great memorable one .

“Doesn’t look like much from the outside but it is super nice inside! Great atmosphere, clean and a great crowd for the patriots game. Food was good and reasonably priced. Tots were great, the bacon egg and cheese on croissant was delicious. Great service! No one enjoyed the home fries for our party but the burgers were good.“

“Awesome place, great service and really good sandwiches!
Ingredients are super fresh and delicious ?
There was a language barrier which sucks because I could tell the two people working had awesome personalities. I'm going to have to learn the language. But I was able to order a BLT club and it was super good. I meant to order fries - I will have to remember for next time!“

“Nice place to party. They are open over the weekends and in the evening. Entry is free till 12am. Post 12am it’s a $5 entry. Don’t forget to carry your id. They have a dance floor, 2 bar counters. They also have 3 pool tables. Liquor is priced decent. Street parking is available.“
