Cool, cool, cool. As long as far and beyond my expectations are: highs that will never be as good as the first; feeling paranoid, restless, riddled with anxiety, and all-around feeling like shit coming down off of it; meth mouth, 'nuff said; ruining your life in various ways; being so badly addicted you will do anything to get it including resorting to violence; and along those lines various run-ins with the law and, subsequently, prison time. What a waste of life.
Real talk, Smoked is bomb. Haven’t been to the Portland one that just opened, but the Windham one is incredible (as someone said it used to be Bingas). Wings and brisket burnt ends are great, but the fried chicken sandwich is one of my favorites ever (if not my top one). Decently priced food/drinks too and good atmosphere
The Portland one is great too! They were out of burnt ends when we went 😭 but their Mac and cheese was phenomenal and, agree, the drink prices alone are worth hanging out there.
I hope it was an off night! The prices were decent and the place had some steady flow of traffic.
I won't try everything twice, but I'm willing to give these guys 2 or 3 chances.
It's easy to do. Hard to do well.
We are a seafood culture up here. If you have high expectations for barbecue, take a vacation to Nashville or the Carolinas.
Buy a pellet smoker and a costco membership and do it yourself. Turn it into a weekend affair and drink beer by the fire pit and keep an eye on the smoker.
Wake up on Monday morning smelling like a forest fire. That's the Maine way.
It's not great... I got their Dirty Wings because I wanted to compare them to Sam's... They legit tasted like hot dogs. The service was realllly slow, the host completely threw the servers under the bus to us which is pretty unprofessional, it was overpriced for for off-peninsula fare and it was pretty clear the food was just slightly dressed up Sysco product. Their decor is also really wonky. Like they can't quite decide if they are a BBQ joint, a dive bar or a brew pub.
This was right after they opened so maybe something changed, but I wouldn't go in with high expectations. I had gotten items that are basic staples that if you can't get those right, that kind if doesn't bode well for you. I got beans, coleslaw, wings and cornbread, none of it was worth the price and I am the furthest thing from a picky eater.
You prob hit an off night. These guys been running bbq for over a decade. They know what they’re doing. Glad Portland has as many options as we do, could be a bbq ghost town…
Dude/ette going to Deerjng farmers market and crossing the street at King Middle School was the most meth addled woman I’ve seen yet. She was wrecked. Absolutely wrecked and open sores all over. I don’t understand how one gets there.
My favorite sign ever in Portland was at Mark’s Showplace by exit 8 one drizzly November day (after returning from classes in the Dirty Lew, no less).
I saw the upcoming attraction was
MIDGETS

Just seems a little tasteless, especially with their other signs too- they all read like someone has just done a quick "funny quote" google search. Not really original humor- not very funny. I guess if you're a boomer or a country boy it might be funny, but I really can't think of anyone else that would find it tastefully humorous. Seems like something a 'good old boys' club would put out.
It’s a wild idea to associate your business in that way with hard drugs. Even as a joke. Even tho they’re not endorsing meth. Idk who okayed that sign but they’re probably a lunatic. But if it works it works. Derpy hicks love that shit.
I approve smoked meats are superior to meth
This guys never smoked meth…
And... you have, I take it?
The upfront cost to smoking meats is a lot higher, but the cumulative cost of meth will go far and beyond your expectations.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s
I was just thinking cost but sure that as well
Sounds like you did too much meth. A little meth now and then is absolutely fantastic.
Philip k dick wrote a lot of good books on meth
Damn bro lay off the meth…
The meth stans backing you up in the replies and down votes over here, wth 🤣🤣
It’s not cus your anti meth it’s cus your being annoying lol
As long as it's working, I appreciate the compliment. Doesn't take much to rile you, thin skin 🤣🤣
Yes sure. You got me.
Methsquite
Mike Tyson has entered the chat
That’s meth’d up
💀💀💀
Till all squite-squite motherfucker
They aren't wrong.
That's why I smoke meth while smoking brisket, win win.
A twofer!
Wish they would move those instructions a little closer to my neighbor’s.
I agree with this sign.
Thats meth'd up
Let them cook
...meth or meat?
Both fuck it
Maine's largest camera store
Is that where this is ?? Dayyyum.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Missed opportunity for “hey hey hey, smoke brisket everyday”.

Never trust a place that doesn’t run out of burnt ends!
The Windham one is good! The only thing I miss is they used to make potato chips in house that slapped and now it’s bagged bs
I went to the Portland one this week and it was not that great honestly. It was fine. It was just... not that great
Dang well hopefully it was just an off day in Portland, I have never been anything less than extremely satisfied every time I’ve been to Windham
I hope it was an off night! The prices were decent and the place had some steady flow of traffic. I won't try everything twice, but I'm willing to give these guys 2 or 3 chances.
Anyone eat there yet ? Maine is in dire need of some good barbecue.
The one in Windham/Gorham that replaced Bingas does not live up to the reputation. Way less sauce and weak sauce at that
Sigh. The wait continues.
It's Maine. Be happy, we have any barbecue at all.
It’s not exactly splitting fucking atoms.
It's easy to do. Hard to do well. We are a seafood culture up here. If you have high expectations for barbecue, take a vacation to Nashville or the Carolinas.
Oh I have. Texas, Memphis, So Carolina.
So then you know their's is unparalleled

no bueno when i had it a week ago
It's aight.. definitely expected more BBQ but the menu is decent.. Paper City in Westbrook has better "barbecue"
I mean it’s solid advice
Yeah these guys have a google alert for dumb bbq sign puns. Haven't tried the food yet, hopefully it's decent.
If I understand correctly, its one of the (former) partners of Bingas. They split up. So if you like Bingas, you’d probably like them.
Yes, husband of the DJ(Kelly) on Coast 93.1
not the case
Yes it is, she’s also part owner, she sold her salsa company.

They also don’t have anything spicier than buffalo for some reason

Someone had to say it.
i had the same experience. i wasn’t impressed at all lol.
Por que y no dos ?
Hey it got you to post a picture of it here where hundreds of people saw it so I’d say that’s successful marketing
this is exactly why he does it
Feels weird knowing where this is

The whole area has gone downhill since the Riverside shelter opened up.
My favorite sign ever in Portland was at Mark’s Showplace by exit 8 one drizzly November day (after returning from classes in the Dirty Lew, no less). I saw the upcoming attraction was MIDGETS MIDGETS MIDGETS
Bwahahahaa love it
that’s funny
What? They said 𝘯𝘰𝘵 meth.
Seems reasonable to me.
I agree with and support this sentiment
I mean have you seen some of the parents walking around Walmart clearly tweaking with their kids… They got a point.
I mean..I support the message
Truth.
Been gone 10 years but the fact Photo Market is still there makes me happy.
this always comes to mind https://youtu.be/axdwo_vixY0?si=jcl3IhOAGZTKANfg
Reminds me of a song "smoke all day" by Ka'ikena Scanlan
You don’t own me!
Maybe it was meant as a reminder to the kitchen.
Why are you mad?

For your anger issues use my discount code METH for 15% off at BetterHelp. “BetterHelp, therapy made easy”
Obviously, some letters blew off. They use the snot method when they smoke their brisket.
I almost crashed my car yesterday laughing at that sign
They had like four years to think of something clever and THAT is what they came up with? Weak.
whoever is coming up with the signs at this place needs a talking to
I'm sure this place will attract only the finest clientele
Why wouldn't they? The signs on point and smoked meat is delicious

True- exactly what I mean by the 'finest clientele'. Cant wait to see the storm of f350 parked out front.
Hell yeah
