The Smoke Shop BBQ – Harvard Square

The Smoke Shop’s Harvard Square restaurant brings Andy Husbands’ barbecue to Holyoke Street. Brisket, ribs, pulled pork and turkey anchor the menu, with combination plates for anyone who wants to try more than one. Cornbread and sides help turn the order into a full meal; sharing is one way to cover more of the menu.

Shiitake mushroom burnt ends offer a vegetarian alternative, and the bar has an extensive American whiskey selection to explore alongside the food. This is the Harvard Square branch, so choose it specifically when booking or ordering from the restaurant group’s website. It serves lunch and dinner daily. The downstairs space can also be booked for private gatherings, while the restaurant remains a regular dining destination.
