Attended a special event featuring a BBQ inspired vegan menu and wine tasting. The dishes were creative and delicious, the staff welcoming and wonderfully attentive, and the waterfront setting made it a great Boston destination. Plus the owner/chef spent some time chatting with the guests which made the night even more special- especially since it was a birthday gift for one of my friends! We all agreed it was one of our favorite dining experiences. Looking forward to more events like this.

Totally wonderful. Superb cuisine...especially a special one-night only vegan menu. Charming, friendly staff...and of course, Mr. Andy Husband, who coordinated this entire adventure! BRAVO!!Vegetarian options: It was truly a 5-course VEGAN/Wine fest!! = EXEMPLARY!!!!!!Parking: Heavily populated area. Had to walk several block to restaurant.

Amazing food. You can tell it a place where the owner really cares and is still actively involved. Appreciate them trying new things like vegan dishes.

I was blown away by the food, service, and spectacular views at yesterday's vegan night at the East Boston location!!! Each dish was so thoughtfully, deliciously, and wholesomely crafted to exceed all expectations; the staff both on-site and behind the scenes take care of you as if you were their grandma (their actual motto), and you leave with a belly and soul full of happiness and love. I can't wait for the next vegan night!!

Everything was great - the service, the view of Boston, and especially the food! It's not easy to find good bbq in New England, but The Smoke Shop was delicious. The brisket, pulled pork, and ribs were all excellent, and the side dishes clearly NOT just an afterthought. The wings are a must-try...so good! We can't wait to come back
Had a really good meal here after visiting Downeast Cider house (which I also HIGHLY recommend). Fantastic location (on the end of the pier looking back across at Boston - stunning at night) near Maverick T). Food was good, and ribs were hands down the best I’ve ever had - meaty, tender, and so delicious.

The Nashville Sliders were freaking fire, and I got the regs spice, so damn good. The extra step the big box hot-chicken shacks don’t do was: amazing slaw and pickles, thank you!

Great Customer Service, Great Presentation. Very Clean, very attentive, very hospitable, AMAZING FOOD. Great IPA beer recommendation & I don’t like bitter beers so It’s good to find something I like in a different state. I would definitely come back if I am ever in the area Again. I am from NYC so the food was actually REALLY good.

Great food on a rainy day. It's good to be in Boston again.
i’ve eaten here 4 times total - 3 locations, 2 times take out.It’s gotten slightly worse every time I’ve eaten here. Whoever is running the show lacks pride and passion. they do not put quality and taste first which is crazy considering It’s a restaurant. It’s just good enough to let you eat it again, but not good enough for you to say ” that was a good meal “ after you’re done.
Well done Smoke Shop, East Boston! I absolutely recommend it!I had lunch there today with two others. The food and service were excellent and the location is stunning! It was a sunny day so the sun was sparkling on the water :)) The restaurant is large enough to handle a crowd, yet intimate enough to enjoy it solo or as a couple. Between the three of us we ordered the Pitmaster Salad, Pulled Chicken Sandwich w/ Pit Beans, and the Pitmaster BBQ which includes two choices of meats and two choices of sides. I ordered the Burnt Ends and Pulled Chicken w/ Brussels Sprouts (w/ onion jam), and Zucchini Salad sides. The meats were cooked to perfection. It melted in your mouth and nothing was overly-sauced - just right! The Zucchini Salad was addicting. It had a nice dressing that added wonderful flavor to the salad. The Brussels Sprouts were tender and onion jam was the perfect compliment. If you're looking for a salad then the Pitmaster Salad is for you. It has a great balance of sweet and savory. It is great on its own or you can choose one of the meats as an add on... and you can never go wrong with their sandwiches. They are great anytime, anywhere! A big shout-out to Andy and Maria for making our afternoon so wonderful and memorable!

Excellent BBQ and an amazing view! The sides were all delicious as well, which is not always the case in some BBQ joints. They all had their own special flavor with just a little heat added. Will definitely return in warmer weather to get the full outdoor, water front experience!Edit:The BBQ pickles are great! My wife got a side of them and shared. She also raved on the Mac& cheese.
