The Smoke Shop BBQ - Woburn

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.

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

For someone who’s originally from Austin, finding this place was a pleasant surprise. My bar is high when it comes to briskets and I was so happy that we decided to try this place. The brisket was really impressive and the best I had in the NE area! We tried the other places in Greater Boston and nothing was as impressive. It was so moist and juicy and they get major brownie points for giving me a fatty piece (I live for those). Their pimiento mac and cheese was so good as well that we had to go for a second order! My little one loved to munch on their garlic bread and potato salad. Both were also good. The burnt ends were not so impressive to me so I will just order more brisket next time. Overall, would definitely go back! Pros: parking is so easy and ample space to park. Interior feels nice for a nice family night out or a date night with husband! Cons: their women’s washroom smells really bad. :( it was off putting I hope they do something about it!

Smoke Shop is the place for authentic BBQ. You must try the ribs and burnt ends, OMG. I was happy and full when I finished. For sides the greens and cornbread are the way to go. The only negative thing I can say it the side of the drinks, don’t get the strawberry margarita. @porterhousereviews

★★★★★ 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!

Great service, waitresses were accommodating and pleasant. Went 2 hours before closing on a Thursday. Food was phenomenal: came out fast and freshly cooked. Not sure why people are complaining about the mashed potatoes: mine are in the photo attached and were cooked perfectly. Ordered the half slab of St. Louis ribs with cole slaw and mashed potatoes. I also got the 1/4th lb. add-on of brisket, and ended with “the crack” buttered ends dessert which was super moist and gooey. All in all the best bbq for the price you can locally: I’ll definitely be back.

I’ve gotten takeout twice from the Woburn location and I thought it was excellent both times. The meats and the sides were delicious. The burnt ends were my favorite along with the “Two potato salad”. Definitely worth a try for BBQ if you’re in the area.

Celena is a rockstar. She is the reason me and my friends will be back again. I felt like I was at a resort being pampered. Food is pretty good too. Could be a bit fresher but the taste and presentation is top notch.

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

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.

Okay, been wanting to try Andy Husbands Smoke Shop, and felt fortunate that he put one in Woburn. (I live a short distance in Stoneham) I purposely went in the middle of a rainy day on Thursday afternoon at 3:45. I sat at the Bar, practically no one else in the Restuarant. Having lived in Grand Prairie, and Arlington Texas in the 1980's, I knew exactly what I wanted, and how Barbecue should taste. I was so looking forward to eating delicious Texas Brisket. Unfortunately, the Texas Brisket was pinkish raw, fatty and runny. Not one hint of smoke. The Pit beans came in a ceramic cup, filled with sauce, very few beans to be found?? (is there a shortage of beans?) The kind Bartender got the Manager, and I showed her the raw, pink, runny meat. I told her I knew what Barbecue is supposed to be because I lived in Texas. She immediately got defensive, (almost as though she took it personally) I insisted there wasn't even a hint of smoke flavor, and the pink, woefully undercooked meat would give me diarrhea. She took my plate away, and I settled on a simple beef Hotdog. The Waitress Shaina was very kind and apologetic which I told her it's not her fault. To the Owner Andy Husbands: Dude, you're on the freakin' Food Network as a Judge, you wrote a couple of Books on Barbecue, yet you cannot produce a simple dish called Texas Beef Brisket?? My unsolicited advise to you is concentrate on getting the basics correct before you open up anymore Barbecue joints. Shaina, the Bartender and I assume the rest of your Staff are efficient, but your Barbecue is just plain awful. You need to fix this or you will just be another failed Restauranteur who writes fictional books and appears on T.V. Thank-you.

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Food is soooo good! So much to choose from on the menu. Great ambiance. Plenty of parking. Has quickly become a family favorlite.

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.

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.
