Have you had real authentic BBQ? The Horseshoe Grille in North Reading is it. They have a killer smoker. Every bite has so much flavor in it! They have other kinds of food, too. Real fresh seafood. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant is clean and they have an outdoor patio in the summer. It’s a great place to go.

My husband and I love the American BBQ in Rowley. We just went there for his 50th birthday and once again, it was FANTASTIC! Everything is smoked to perfection and the sides are so good it is hard to decide which ones to get. It is very clean for a BBQ in the rough place. The kids that work there are always out on the floor wiping the tables and there is always a roll of paper towels handy to wipe the bbq sauce off your fingers.
