The food was amazing. We got the corn ribs, sampler platter, and added an extra 1/2 rack of ribs. The ribs were so tender and fell right off the bone. We also tried out the lobster roll and were very satisfied.
This is unequivocally one of the best meals I've ever eaten in my entire life, and one of the tastiest bbq joints I've ever had the pleasure of being in.
I spent a bunch of time in the south and can be picky about barbecue, but every single aspect of this meal was actually perfect. The beans were a spicy sweet delight. The cornbread was the texture of the smallest, softest cloud. The pulled pork was tender and expertly seasoned, and the combined sweet and hot sauces took it to another level, perhaps another plane. I def felt like I left my body for a moment midway through my meal.
My friend got the sampler, and everything was excellent. The ribs were the other major highlight for me.
Do yourself a favor and finish with a blueberry float.
Maybe I'm overselling this spot with this review, but honestly not by much. You should eat here.
Fellow hikers tipped us off to this place and we were so glad they did. We figured it had to be good since these folks said they were mostly vegetarian but that the ribs were the best. We got the four person platter and it was incredible. Not pictured is the potato salad. More than enough for four people. We loved the ribs!
A charming BBQ, with delicious food next to a fantastic brewery. They are two separate businesses but the proximity creates a fantastic combination. The whole vibe of the place gave off good time!
Fantastic food, will be going again when I return to the area!
This place was so good! The meat was fall off the bone and so juicy. We were deciding between meals and our waitress Brie was so kind and sweet and helpful! She helped us choose our meals and suggested apps and it was perfect đź‘Ś
The sampler was the dish to try... ribs, pulled pork, chicken thigh, sausage, corn bread, beans, and slaw. Delicious. It should be noted that to try a flight of beers you have to go into the brewery building. It cannot accompany your meal. But they do serve their many beer options.
Some of the best barbecue I've had in the country. Most places only do one specific type of BBQ well but Mainely Meat does EVERYTHING well. The Max plate is our go to and feeds our family of 5 easily. The service is always fast and on point despite being busy (but never busy enough that we need to wait). There's nothing bad on the menu and the beers from Atlantic Brewing Co are as fresh as it gets. The seating area that Mainely Meats shares with Atlantic brewing is really nice to eat at on a summer night. I can't recommend this place enough, it's always our first stop when coming to Maine. Definitely worth the trip.
Cool place to have a casual lunch outdoors. Good BBQ food and nice selection of beer.
Probably the best BBQ I had…. Ever. We enjoyed the real wings and the sampler. For 3 of us the perfect afternoon snack. All crazy delicious!
I think the chicken was actually my favorite. Perfect smoky and juicy…. Omg!
Of course an amazing selection of Atlantic brews.
Service so friendly and FAST…!!!
Thank you!!!
AWESOME antidote to too much lobster!
I had the "Sampler" and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. I wish I had taken a picture, but after humoring her hankering for lobster for one meal too many... well I'm sure you understand. I ordered the Mountain Hopper IPA and my wife had the Blueberry Ale. We bought souvenir four-packs to bring home. This place was a home run.
Pleasantly surprised to find such an excellent BBQ in an off beat location. Service was excellent. Pork was tender and tasty. Loved the spicy BBQ sauce! Very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back!
What a fun place! The blueberry lemonade was the perfect refreshment after spending the afternoon hiking. The Cuban sandwich was delicious with a generous amount of meat.
Great barbecue food in a quaint outdoor beer garden setting. Our family all enjoyed the pulled pork platter with beans. The pork was extremely tender and the sauce (on the side) was very tasty. Be sure to order a side of the tasty corn bread which is available as a side by request (not on menu as it is made fresh and tends to run out). They have all Atlantic beers on tap, as well as the bottled root beer and blueberry soda available. Great stop for lunch!
We loved it here! As tourists, we seek out interesting and well rated food joints, and Mainley Meat didn't disappoint. We had a wonderful, friendly server. Food came out very quickly and was delicious. Would like to have tried the dessert, but we were far too full.
Plenty of parking, but come early...it gets packed.
After living in Georgia for 20 years, I’m always a bit skeptical about BBQ in areas not “known” for BBQ (in no way trying to knock Maine, just think of Carolinas, TX, GA/AL for BBQ). This place is legit. Ribs, Brisket and Pulled Pork on point. Rub is really good, but not typical TX/Carolina/Southern based. Mix the homemade sauces together.
The host was rude and told us he could not see six of us together. Then as soon as we were set, he sat somebody else at a table that could accommodate six. Our waitress was really nice and was able to reseat us at a larger table, so we could all sit together and she was exceptional.
When the food was brought out, he somehow helped with that process and was overwhelmed with a simple question on which was gluten free.
The meats were really good and tender. We had the sampler with ribs, pulled pork and sausage. Note that the meats are not smoked according to our expert smoker in our party.
The beans and cornbread were good. The coleslaw and potato salad were bland.
I almost forgot two people in our party got drinks and they said they were really good.
Can’t say that we’d recommend this place. It certainly wasn’t bad, but some reviews saying this is the best bbq ever may have had too many beers first. We prefer smoky bbq flavors and did not get that with the pulled pork or the brisket. The blueberry soda is delicious though!
BBQ done to perfection. It doesn't matter what you order it's all on point and delicious. The beer selection is mostly low ibu ales with some ipa's. The beer is as tasty as the BBQ. Waitresses were very professional and nice. Atmosphere was cool with cool signs on the walls
