The Smoke Shop BBQ - Woburn

Great service , good atmosphere and the food was delicious! My son was asking to go for about 3 weeks until we finally got able to go. The Texas style Brisket plate was delicious and the salad was tasty. Kids menu was great they enjoyed kids Mac &cheese, BBQ pulled chicken. The Fried Haddock Basket with a bowl of zucchini salad and bowl of sweet potato mash I never tried something like this delicious before we ordered 2 of them to take home. Andy was very friendly he came to our table and made sure everything was perfect.

Every meat was tender & flavorful. I preferred the sour pickles over the sweet. The fries were crispy & flavorful.

Great service, good atmosphere, plenty of parking The food tastes and smells good. Only problem is that the brisket is tough, not tender nor juicy. Especially the outer edge, it is hard. I understand that this might be their style so I give them 4 stars

Danielle, our waitperson, was awesome! The food was delicious, including each of her recommendations. The Sunday special is a full rack of baby back ribs, so tasty. Every one of the staff is friendly, funny, and helpful.

Loved the atmosphere. Reasonable priced food. Everything was tasty, but the brisket was half fat and the brunt ends had 1/8 fat. I let them know, but they didn't seem to care.

Wings were a bit dry and lacking flavor, brisket was good but pricey for only three slices. Staff was friendly and the place is roomy. Not bad, but just okay overall. Wouldn’t go out of my way, but fine if you’re nearby and want BBQ. A bit pricey for what they're offering.

From food to staff, this place is an absolute HOME RUN of hospitality. Their award winning BBQ is the perfect soundtrack to the vibe set by the staff. The brisket is the best Ive ever had. Cannot wait to return to The Smoke Shop BBQ in Woburn. So lucky to have them in the area

★★★★★ A Flavor Packed Feast at The Smoke Shop BBQ! An absolutely perfect meal from start to finish! The ribs were seasoned to perfection, with a deep, smoky hickory flavor that was complemented beautifully by their signature sauce. Each bite was a testament to true barbecue mastery. The sides were just as impressive. The crinkle-cut fries were crispy, golden, and packed with so much flavor, they're a must-try. And the mac and cheese? It's a dish that's often hard to master, but they absolutely nailed it – creamy, cheesy, and utterly delicious. All in all, this was an easy 5 out of 5 stars. aop3d loves them, and it's clear why. The Smoke Shop BBQ and Kayem have created a truly top-tier barbecue experience!

I don't even know where to begin... fromThe bartenders funny personality To the amazing food appetizers, sandwiches, drinks service, everything is outstanding.It is a hidden gem. I highly recommend this place!

excellent meal! Had the combo meal with brisket, ribs and chicken with three sides and they were all really delicious. Service was outstanding. We definitely come here again!

it's so hard to find good barbecue these days, this place really knocks it the park I got the three-way with burnt ends, Texas brisket and St. Louis ribs. Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned so well that I almost didn't have to use any extra sauce. The sides are fantastic, I had mashed sweet potatoes, these crazy-good brussels sprouts and coleslaw. Top it all off with a great piece of cornbread! In my opinion, cornbread will make or break the meal! This place is absolutely great.

Ordered "Pit Boss" Burnt Ends Famous wings Mac & Cheese Coleslaw Brussels Sprouts Famous Wings (side) Excellent!!! Everything had so much flavor !!! Definitely recommend and will return Ordered through Uber Eats - Efficient!!! On time

i've been to the assembly row location, and well as the harvard square location a handful of times, so i did have certain expectations based on previous experiences at more busy locations. this is an old applebees renovated into a smoke shop bbq, so it's not as custom as their other locations. i ordered takeout from here, just a nashville crispy chicken sandwich with a side of mac & cheese and cornbread. the chicken sandwich was stuffed and good. the mac & cheese wasn't my favorite. when i called to order, the sizes of cornbread were unclear, and i ended up ordering a large, when a small would have been fine. when i came to pickup, one of the hosts was helpful, the other girl with her head down reading something seemed to be less than helpful (and seemed to have some seniority?). i asked if it came with silverware, and the girl with her head down said it was already in the very stapled up bag. i asked for 2 silverware packs anyways, and i'm glad i did because there was in fact, no silverware included, as i thought. i didn't like that the prices on my receipt were raised from what was listed online, especially since this location only opened two months ago? it was a minor amount, but for a new restaurant, their menu prices should be accurate. not a dealbreaker. the people who work here should visit their other locations to see how customers are used to being treated.

They just do take out until four o'clock so I did take out for lunch at 1:30. I had a burnt end sandwich which featured glazed brisket. As soon as I saw 'glazed', it should have alerted me. The brisket was covered in a syrupy bbq sauce. Always get it on the side. So much for any flavor from the smoking process. Whenever BbQ is in the name of the restaurant, it signals that Barbecue sauce is part of the meat. it was a commercial bun that you would find at McDonalds. It was as small especially given the price. Overall, I was disappointed by the quality and price. Take it or leave it.

Awesome BBQ from noted chef Andy husband. IN AN APPLEBEE'S! Brisket moist and tasty. Ribs awesome, 3 sauces to accent but not needed. Cucumber side weird. Wish just a macaroni salad or half corn on cob. Staff 5*. Free parking. Lol. I'd do take-out next time. Too loud with kids. (My issue).

It was great! Their pulled pork was amazing and the brisket was super tender and delicious. For dessert I would recommend the Mississippi mud in a mug cake it was absolutely fabulous.

Order takeout from here. Really really fast pick up. We got one meal of the full rack of ribs with two sides and it was enough for two people with leftovers. Really good too. I just wish that they were a little more well done because I like a noticeable smoke ring. But I'm definitely gonna go back.

Love the pulled pork! Happy to live in Woburn now since the Kendal square one closed.

The service was friendly and prompt. Having just opened yesterday they did a great job. The food was flavorful and delicious. The BBQ sauces were delicious hot sauce had a great delayed sorry I'm the , the gold medal had a nice mustard flavor and the sweet had great depth. This is a renovated Applebee's and they did a great job making it feel like a barbecue restaurant. Definitely coming back with the whole family again and again.

Delicious and well priced! Service was great and very good with kids! Brisket and fried chicken were great and tasty corn bread too!

Great service at the bar from Matt- friendly, attentive, and helpful. Food was great - pulled pork was really good and the Mac and cheese was so flavorful. Great spot!

GF Alert!!! Major Allergy! Had an Allergen menu. Items were labeled G if they had gluten and a G with parentheses- means the meal can be made without gluten! First time having BBQ since going GF. I almost ordered an order to go home, which was 5 hours away. I order pulled chicken , pulled pork, which came with two sides. I got seasoned fries and sweet potato mash. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend and will definitely go back when I'm in MA. I also got a wedge salad, which was super fresh with large pieces of bacon, hard boiled eggs and onions. Everything was sooo delicious!

We had the wings for an appetizer Then I had the pitmaster with brisket and spicy sausage for my sides, mac & cheese, and fries freaking awesome For dessert, we had the poundcake which I wanna go back for a second piece If you like whiskey, this is the place for you

I've been a loyal smoke shop customer for years and was so thrilled when I heard they'd be opening a location near me. Went here early on a Friday evening for dinner with my husband and two little kids. This location was formerly an Applebees, still kind of looks like it too. They did begin the redecorating and redesign, but the space gives chain restaurant vibes. We made a reservation and glad we did, this place filled up fast. Our server was lovely and incredibly kind. Their food is consistent, same quality and consistency as other locations. Cocktails were excellent, I had the strawberry margarita and there is an option to make it spicy if that's your thing. They have an excellent kid's menu, they can pick a main, side, drink, and dessert. Bathrooms needed some attention, a little messy and missing paper towels. This place is a welcome addition to the area, can't wait to come back!

Cornbread was excellent. Ribs were good. Burnt ends and brisket both were VERY fatty with not much meat. Server brought another batch of burnt ends which were better but all in all, I've had better.

Was a great stop - good food and service m Matt at the bar was very sociable and answered all my questions I had. Very confident right off the highway with a great parking lot.

This place had great food, service, and atmosphere. Will be back. Excellent taste at a decent price.

Andy husbands finally figures out how to completely sell out. I remember eating Andy's BBQ at East Coast grill Inman Square. Soulful inspired and creative. SMOKE SHOP IS OVERPRICED GARBAGE. Actual barbecued meats are OK.Nothing near what Husbands is capable of. Tasteless coleslaw., frozen French fries. Wedge salad tastes like it came out of a vending machine at a rest stop.Tea smoked eggs? Hardly. Beef rig untrimmed chewy and fatty. Postage, stamp sized, slayer cake, or whatever it's called.... Marie calendar does a better job. Obviously this kitchen is unsupervised, or no one ever tastes anything that goes out before it goes out, or they don't know what it's supposed to taste like.In the first place. This is a corporate buyout in the making. kmart- styled Bbq at Whole Foods-prices served with fake canned ambiance and integrity of rest-stop on Mass Pike. Great staff however, attentive entertaining and genuine. Big score for PR - focused engineers of marketing. all the bbq authenticity of micky D's mc rib sand. At micky D's At least you know what you're getting their drive-thru. Steer clear. A not unexpected disappointment. C'mon Husbands, dump whatever soulless fool talked you into this and show your real stuff. I know you still can swing

this baby owner doesn't do well with criticism. my original order I didn't enjoy all of it, my first $30 ordered was a 1/2 slab rib plate with 2 sides I got Brussels with onion jam and mash potatoes (find me on google for that review) one of the item was removed off all menus because it was less liked by a lot of customer figure out which one that is. I left a review on google which he saw So he (baby owner) reached out and I receive a small comp to get something else. So I did. I got the Nashville chicken sliders $10, And I don't want to say what the issue was with my slider order Cause only the owner and myself know what it was. and I didn't write a review I just emailed the owner and expressed it to him, the other half of my sandwich I throughly enjoyed. it would of been nice if I could of ate them both. He sent me a gift card so I can order again. here's the set up. I ordered the Nash chicken sliders again picked them up got home opened my bag I'll let the pictures speak for themself. Did I receive the same order. Or was it retaliation? This Immature owner told his staff about me and the original sliders they prepared. so this what I got in my to go bag. So if you plan on leaving a not so favorable review leave it and never go back. him (owner) and his kitchen staff will play in your face. And they will still have your money Hey Mr H

Get the beef rib (available Friday and Saturday only) if you're looking for really marbled meat. Would be nice if they had macaroni salad or onion strings, corn or mashed potatoes with gravy.

We love this place. Ate there again last night while watching the Red Sox beat the Yankees. Their BBQ is outstanding. Can't say whether I love the brisket or the pulled pork best. Haven't tried the ribs but I hear they are great too. My wife had the fried chicken. It was delicious and the portions were so large she made both of a chicken wrap the next day with the leftovers. Side of mac&cheese had a slight kick to it. Love the moist cornbread too. Glad they landed in Woburn and hope they are here to stay. BTW, the staff is friendly and attentive. I hear it's busy on the weekends so you might consider going on a week night if you don't like crowds.

Just had lunch at the Smoke Shop BBQ in Woburn. It was excellent. We started with their award winning wings for an appetizer. Best wings I ever had. For lunch I had the pulled pork sandwich and my hubby had the smoked turkey BLT. We got the spiced fries as a side. They are so delicious we didn't even to put ketchup on them. We also got the cornbread! Amazing cornbread. Be sure to try it. Very unique and delightful. The staff is lovely, the whole experience was great. The atmosphere very comfortable. Be sure to ask for a table in Una's area if she's working. She will be sure you have as good a lunch and time as we did. Can't wait to return.

Amazing experience with this place. Food was hot and delicious and everything we tried was really good. We've done doordash multiple nights in a row because we loved the first one so much. Try the smoked turkey blt hands down one of the best sandwiches ever.

Some days they are only open for takeout at lunch. The ribs and pulled pork were good, but I would prefer sauces that are less sweet. Side dishes of potato salad and coleslaw were fine but nothing special.

The food is good but wouldn't run back . The help is something to be desired! We were at bar and it was not that busy and the bar tender ( won't say her name) forgot to put our order in after 35 minutes , she came over to tell us and make sure it was the right order which it wasn't so thank God she checked . Was very aggravating due to we were hungry. Not to mention we were not the only mess ups , there were multiple!

Was looking for a place on the ride back from Maine. Super close to the highway. Good kids meals. Waitress was very helpful. Good quick stop off the highway and good food.

The food was delicious! We were quickly seated and given water. The server was knowledgeable and told Us about the menu.

Sheana was terrific! It was our first time at the restaurant and she was very helpful and knowledgeable about all offerings! We will be back again soon! The wings were great!!

Absolutely incredible food as always, and a really fun atmosphere! Especially recommend the smoked chicken, and the smoked turkey is the best I've had in the Boston area!

The best food I have in a long time I will eat more the next time I am in the a because I'm a truck driver and always looking for smoked food

No customer on Monday evening. All food was good. Ordered 3 meats and 4 sides. The drinks were not that good. Ordered a Downeast Blend and was bad so we returned it and ordered something else but they refused to remove it from the bill.

The best bbq around! Inside the old Applebees, so there's a really big dining room. The food came out super quick. The servers and staff were really discombobulated and inattentive, but it might have been because the location is new and they're all training, we came the week it opened. I have a gluten allergy and got the brisket, coleslaw, pit beans, and nothing bothered me!

Been here like five times since they opened the Woburn location. Everything is delicious! Would highly recommend

The first time we ate there, the waiter/waitresses weren't attentive, and the waitress forgot my drink. She didn't seem to know the menu at all. We thought the ribs were outstanding, but the sides and sauces were not to our taste. We also ordered takeout there and our food order was at the reception desk and a girl was helping us, but she was called away to help another waitress and didn't come back for 10 minutes. Recently, we gave it another try dining in, and the waiter was new and didn't know the menu, but polite and friendly. The ribs were outstanding, but the sides and sauces weren't to my liking. The drinks are small. The restaurant seems very depressing and doesn't have a good vibe.

As a bbq enthusiast I was excited to try this place that recently opened. The decor inside made for a great atmosphere and gave lots to look at. We were promptly greeted by our waitress who was very friendly and professional. I ordered the half rack of ribs with collard greens and the pimento mac and cheese. The ribs had a good smoke flavor and the right amount of tenderness so it didn't fall off the bone when I picked it up like some other establishments I visited, and the Mac and cheese was excellent. We will definitely be going back.

Just tried take out from The Smoke Shop. Took twice as long to be ready as they told me. I heard one woman complain how long take out was taking and the employee said the kitchen was backed up then asked her if she wanted to help in the kitchen. When I got home four items were missing so I called they said they would have them they did 20 minutes later. Overall quality of the food was poor as was the take out packaging.

Delicious delivery BBQ - super fresh & delivery was right on time. I love their chicken sliders - just the right amount of spice.

Pretty horrible BBQ..... I got the spicy wings, but they didn't cook them enough and what happened is that the fat and the skin never rendered, so when you bite into it, you get a mouth full of fat along with chicken. Otherwise, the sauce was pretty good, but I couldn't really eat it. I only had a few . The coleslaw actually looked like and tasted like a commercially prepared coleslaw I would buy at Market Basket ( it was finely chopped like the pre- prepared coleslaw and sugary and nasty watery)and the baked beans were clearly from a can.. (mushy and commercially pre- prepared again) and neither the coleslaw or the beans tasted homemade whatsoever. Total crap... The cucumber salad was only fair ( as opposed to " poor" for coleslaw and beans), but I don't think it was marinated enough because Good cucumber salad is a combination, sweet and vinegar and theirs was neither. My girlfriend had the pulled pork sandwich and although the pork was ok, maybe slightly below average...and there was a good amount, they used the cheapest goddamn hamburger bun available... like the ones next to the Wonderbread for $.69 at Market Basket. The service was fair to poor. Our waitress didn't seem very experienced and once there were other people sitting, we had to wait 15 minutes for our check even though we asked for it, but the manager came by and he was pretty nice and we cashed out at the table. I won't be going back just another disappointment and I don't think they're gonna last very long because it's ridiculously expensive ( the price for half a rack of ribs/ full rack is astronomical... might as well go to Capital Grille)...and the food we had on this visit was overall " poor"..and all the families around here in Burlington / Billerica and Woburn are not gonna be able to afford it if they take their family. Also, the bathrooms were freaking disgusting. My girlfriend was ready to throw up from the condition of the ladies room, and the men's room was trashed..... the place is only been open less than a month and this is how their bathrooms are. You've got to be kidding me. Total gross out on the food and bathrooms, service and more....

Been twice so far. Food is delicious, well cooked and presented. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms,!!!!

Restaurant looked great inside, we ordered take out and the food was tasty but small portions for the price. The Vidalia mashed potatoes were a little disappointing as they were almost liquid, but they just opened this location, maybe they need a little time to get better.
