A friend told me that this was the best brisket he’d had East of Texas. I agree – brisket, ribs, jerk chicken… All was so good! Great staff.

This place is amazing! I came in for lunch today and got a hell of a plate of BBQ. Got an order of brisket (1/2 pound to be exact) on top of Mac and cheese with a side of Cole slaw. With a cup of Kansas city BBQ sauce to dip the meat in. To rinse it down was a bottle of peach tea. With a tip included it cost me around 25 dollars and I felt that I got a lot of food for the value. It’s a shame they’re only open 3 days a week but it’s definitely worth taking the time to check it out!

I’m blessed to be working just a few short steps from this amazing restaurant. Easily accessible with a beautiful view of the Rockland harbor area. The staff is super friendly and quick with a smile. The food is really hard to beat. The brisket was my choice, with the Kansas BBQ sauce. It was super tender, and smoky, just the right amount of heat. The side beans are also amazing, mixed with bits of smoked meat (pork, I think), the perfect accompaniment for a tasty meal. Be warned, they only serve until they run out, so the early bird gets the best meat.

The BBQ was decent, but the sides were not very good, and very expensive. I love BBQ beans, but theirs were tough and kind of flavorless.

We seek out BBQ and smoked meats whenever we travel. This Saturday- only offering is by far the most exquisitely smoked meats we’ve ever had. The pork and brisket were sublime and the pastrami was out of this world. Will is a true pit master.

Edit: I’ma add a little more here since the owner felt the need to be a thin-skinned, insulting baby instead of accepting criticism and trying to better his business.

In a word, the best brisket sandwich AND pulled pork sandwich I’ve ever had. The BBQ sauce was so good, I debated licking it out of the paper cup it came in (dignity barely won out over hunger). Very, muchly, extremely recommended.

As an avid BBQ fan, I find Up In Smoke to be an amazing representation of quality, delicious BBQ and superb service. Everything from flavor, to texture was spot on. We had the brisket sandwich, with the Kansas City BBQ sauce, and the Pulled Pork sandwich. My brisket was so good, I couldn’t put it down, and it was totally worth the mess I made. I would’ve visually documented our feast, but it disappeared as soon as the boxes were opened. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

The absolute best bbq I have ever had! I travel often, and make it a priority to try different bbqs all around the country. This has nothing on Texas! Nothing on Nashville! Or anything in the Carolinas!! Everything was delicious. Perfect brisket that had all of us talking for the rest of our trip.
