Finally made it over to try the only BBQ place in a 30 mile radius and it was Fabulous Excellent flavor, food was warm and tender, their 3 sauces are surprisingly great. Ordered 2 platters and took some home. The view is relaxing and just a great roadside Gem to grab a bite and enjoy the view. Posted current menu as prices went up a little.
Roadside BBQ joint with outside seating. I was greeted by a friendly staff person who took my order and answered my questions. Within a few minutes my take out order was ready. The other person in my party enjoyed the smoke chicken sandwich with a side of Mac & Cheese. I enjoyed my Brisket Sandwich as well as a side of coleslaw. I also had a side of Mac & cheese but it wasn’t to my liking as much. Overall we will go back for more delicious BBQ!!
A little bit expensive for what you get. A relatively small side and a plain jane sandwich literally two pieces of sausage between two hamburger buns costs about the same as a custom subway sub with chips and a drink. I was slightly let down.
The nicest pit master and the sweetest two young gals served us. We followed their orders and tried the sample platter with chicken, pork and brisket. The Mac & Cheese beans and cornbread. Delicious lunch stop and they gave great hiking recommendations! Ps. Mud Sauce is the way to go
If you headed to Schoodic which you should be, be sure to stop at Flanders! We were only in the area for a week on vacation, but ate at Flanders twice! We are from North Carolina, so feel like we know a thing or two about BBq who knows if this is true.., and were bowled over by the brisket. In talking with the owners, they shared some insights to smoking brisket that we hope to try in our own smoker in a few weeks. The pulled pork was moist, flavorful - and although Flanders offers three different sauces love the mustard base... - the pork was tasty enough to go without. Same for the brisket - the sauces were good - but the brisket flavor, smoke and tenderness didn't even need sauce! We had the mac & cheese - which was yummy, but the beans were awesome!
Love the venue. Cool inside and outside setup. Meat was good. Good flavor. Not a fan of the gold digger. Tastes like spaghetti Os. Wish they included BBQ sauce. Would definitely return.
Don't own grill, been craving BBQ all summer. Googled and found this place, closer than going to town. Worried it would be tourist trap, kinda but the service was fast enough that there wasn't any congestion and just enough room to park. The prices were lower than Trenton locations. Portions seem small for the price, but it's enough. All the meat was tender and moist, but they were out of ribs hour before closing til next wk, & I don't eat them anyway. The meats were very bland, just cooked meat, even with what looked like seasoning on them. The brisket & pork were good. The chicken looked like a breast, but it was a boneless thigh. The ham was not as good as I hoped, it's likely boneless ham which makes it like sliced sandwich meat. Did not try the sausage. The sauces were different than you would expect, and you gotta communally share them with everyone. So if you don't get enough & you'll need it cause it's like the plainest meat ever, you will have to get up multiple times. There were only two available, one was Mud which tastes like Catalina salad dressing. The other was more like a Bbq sauce but it wasn't labeled so I duno what it was. Only got the coleslaw that came with the 3 meat platter. It was nice. Very flavorful, celery seeded, no mayo, with cukes. Kinda made me think of unfermented kimchi. It was good. Never had slaw without mayo and liked it. Since didn't get sides, but read reviews that they're awesome, I have I theory! I think the meats are bland & sides really flavorful, because your supposed to eat it all together!! Maybe I'm wrong, but if I go back, that's what I'm doing. I also would do a sandwich and sides instead of the platter. So to be honest, when we arrived, found last parking spot for the moment, had a spaced out guy just sitting at a desk out front, no interaction no idea what we were doing...had to kind force our order on the kid as he didn't seem to care what was going on...it was odd--and I was ready to never come back. However, the atmosphere is so calm and laid back, it's almost unsettling and kinda disorienting...til you get used to it. The food came out within 15mins. I was not impressed by the amount for the price, but the man who brought us our food was SO NICE! I'm gonna guess he was the owner. He had a genuine passion and concern that radiated from him, in just the few seconds he was around. I would go back, just to help support that guy!! Soooo long story short, the food is ok. I think it's all about perspective. The only thing I wish is that the meat had some sort of smoke flavor. There was no distinction that it was cooked on a grill, it was just cooked meat, basic as basic. However, the atmosphere is chill, the sides are flavorful, the wait time is basically non existent, it's close, and there's some heartfelt passion hiding inside. I'm glad I went. My opinion changed from "OMG never again!" to "Hell yeah, I'd go back!" in just one visit. Stick to the actual cuts of meat, get plenty of sauce, and definitely the sides. Mix it up together, and I think you may have something amazing for dinner! Oh!! And tell the middle aged skinny man, inside, that he's doing a fantastic job!
Simple but tasty fare. Well priced and you can get a beer to go with your BBQ. Very friendly staff and a nice spot to eat at their picnic tables.
We tried the 3 meat tray and 1/2 rack of ribs. For the 3 meat tray, we chose the brisket, pulled pork and ham. The winner was the brisket. The other 2 were fair. The 1/2 rack of ribs was dried out, and way overcooked. If you choose to eat here, just get the brisket.
This fun BBQ restaurant hit the spot after a day of sightseeing. The food was delicious, the staff very friendly and the prices reasonable. We went back multiple times during our 2 week stay.
