9 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Exeter

“Take it from a 6’1” 320lb redneck, this is the best it gets. I became an addict with the BBQ which was incredible, they have stepped up the game with the “Italian Stallion”. I drove 800 miles from Bristol TN just to get one and visit my good friends. I assure you they are culinary geniuses! If you don’t think it’s the best in the country, you should go have the Dr check your taste buds.“

“It would be too easy to write how good the BBQ IS from SCQ, especially since everyone else writes this. Rhode Island knows already that their menu is delicious. I wish to explain why.I attended the Linesider Brewery Chili Cookoff last Saturday, with seven food establishments competing. We all got to sample a half cup of chili from all, and the winner only got bragging rights. No money to be won, no trophy, the chili was not sold, and the price of entry allowed all of us to sample all the chilis.SCQ took this competition seriously. They used the highest quality meats in their chili including buffalo meat, a few different kinds of beans, and topped it off with a few wagu beef tips that were smoked so slowly it melted in your mouth. Was it butter that tasted like beef, or was it beef that tasted like butter...does not matter, both are winners. The seasonings were few and simple, and it allowed you to taste how good the meat was, not being overpowered by spices, or toppings like sour cream, onions, or shredded cheddar cheese. There was a side of corn bread, which added a bit of sweetness, if you wanted that. Frankly, the chili did not need it.Guess what? They won for the second year in a row, voted upon by all who attended. So now I ask you this....if SCQ is serious about an event where they do not make money, how good do you think their food is when they do?“

“The pulled pork sandwich was the best I've had anywhere in a long time. Smokey Bones has the best BBQ sauces around. And they have e the best French Fries as well. I ate at the bar a the service was spectacular. I decided to try this restaurant today for lunch while my car was being serviced. It's a quick walk from the numerous car dealerships in the area. What a perfect place to hang out while my car is being serviced. I'll be stopping in more often as I really enjoyed my lunch break. Kay was a fantastic bartender. I really enjoyed my lunch today!“
