Smoke BBQ - Kennebunk, ME

Smoke BBQ, Kennebunk

Handcrafted Barbecue
Smoked slow & Low

What we do at Smoke is simple: Wood-fired barbecue smoked with care and served in a space that feels lived in, relaxed, and ready for company. Smoke BBQ opened in late 2022 after owner, head chef, and pitmaster Josh Maynard spent years rebuilding the former Herb’s Seafood property by hand. The menu centers on meats smoked over 100% Maine Red Oak, house made rubs, sauces, and sides, with standouts like brisket, baby back ribs, pulled pork, and smoked wings. Known for authentic wood-fired BBQ in Kennebunk, the experience blends counter ordering with table service, a full bar, 16 beers on tap and a Maine-centered dining room that moves at its own steady rhythm. When the weather is fine, enjoy the outdoor patio or have a drink by the firepit. Cheers!!!
