Great BBQ, the low and slow style is at a top notch here. The brisket falls apart and the ribs are melting. The beers are amazing and the cocktails are nice and smokey too

Came in to get some brisket to go. Opened it up at home and found out I was given beef jerky. See pic with standard butter knife to give perspective. I have no idea when this meat was smoked but it was not recently. Employees were standing around and had to be told to help me. While waiting for my order there were loud inappropriate comments coming from the back.
Again, this is not what you would expect when ordering brisket from a self named barbecue restaurant with all a menu heavy with bbq items.
Bacon Mac n cheese was only flavored with the bacon. The “cheese” was bland. Cornbread waffle was ok after I toasted it at home but was room temp after a 10 minute drive even though it was wrapped in foil.
Very disappointed, so much so so don’t think I could give the a second chance.

Luke masters the art of BBQ here in New England. As a Texas native I can say, this is hands down the next best place outside of the lone star state! Their amber ale complements nicely too btw.

What a pleasant surprises😃
Walked in and was greeted immediately by an extremely friendly and welcoming staff
It was our first time visiting and what a great experience. The beer was amazing tried the jalapeño ipa witch was different but if you like jalapeño you'll enjoy it, not as good as the peanut butter stout that
was out of this world with great flavor. The food was plentiful you get what you pay for. We didn't order pizza but,the the guys next to us did and it looked very delicious. will definitely make a trip back
This place checked all the boxes great service food drink and the atmosphere was nice

Half rack was fantastic! Better than what I get where I live in the south 😂 Also really enjoyed the brown ale. I wasn't as impressed with the sides (mac&cheese, cornbread waffle - they were both kinda cold) and chips but others in my group liked them

This place is truly exceptional! The environment is warm and inviting, and you can tell a lot of care goes into making every guest feel comfortable. The food is outstanding, the jerk chicken wings in particular were a standout, made with REAL Jamaican jerk sauce that was bursting with authentic flavor. Absolutely amazing! The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, and the owner clearly takes pride in both the food and the overall experience. Even the beer selection was great and paired perfectly with the meal. Highly recommend. I can’t wait to come back!

Decided to look for a place to grab a bite on our way home from a Red Sox game, Salem seemed to be a good place to go. Pulled up Google to find a Brewery and found this place. Unassuming from the parking lot but once you step inside you absolutely know the food will be good. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. While unfortunately they were sold out of some very popular choices, (the burnt ends and big beef rib), there was still plenty to choose from. We opted for the steak and cheese egg rolls and pub fries to start. The guys ordered some beer as well. We opted for the sampler to share with sides of the cornbread waffle and slaw. Portions were substantial, served three of us with extra to bring home. All was good but we favored the pulled pork and ribs the most. The sauce, get extra. It was absolutely delicious. The cornbread waffle was amazing as well. Would definitely go back when in the area again.

Amazing spot! Went with my husband and two little ones. I saw on phantom gourmet so wanted to try it - 15/10. Service was incredible from the moment we walked in, food was BEYOND (better bbq than we tried in Texas), beer was unreal. I cannot say enough great things about this spot - cannot wait to return!

1st time here and it was amazing! Had a family lunch before our boys go back to college. Ordered the sampler, chicken fingers and a pizza to go. Everything was delicious! Can't wait to go back!

Beers and food were average was a bit surprised with the ~4.5% service fee. More than anywhere I've been.
$9/$10 a beer for average beer.

Great selection of beers that are brewed in house. Jalapeno IPA was awesome.
Excellent BBQ! Brisket was delicious and moist, and the Steak and Cheese egg rolls along with the Frito Chili were superb.
