Mainely Meat Barbeque At Atlantic Brewing Company

The food was amazing. We got the corn ribs, sampler platter, and added an extra 1/2 rack of ribs. The ribs were so tender and fell right off the bone. We also tried out the lobster roll and were very satisfied.

This place was so good! The meat was fall off the bone and so juicy. We were deciding between meals and our waitress Brie was so kind and sweet and helpful! She helped us choose our meals and suggested apps and it was perfect 👌

The sampler was the dish to try... ribs, pulled pork, chicken thigh, sausage, corn bread, beans, and slaw. Delicious. It should be noted that to try a flight of beers you have to go into the brewery building. It cannot accompany your meal. But they do serve their many beer options.

This is unequivocally one of the best meals I've ever eaten in my entire life, and one of the tastiest bbq joints I've ever had the pleasure of being in.

I spent a bunch of time in the south and can be picky about barbecue, but every single aspect of this meal was actually perfect. The beans were a spicy sweet delight. The cornbread was the texture of the smallest, softest cloud. The pulled pork was tender and expertly seasoned, and the combined sweet and hot sauces took it to another level, perhaps another plane. I def felt like I left my body for a moment midway through my meal.

My friend got the sampler, and everything was excellent. The ribs were the other major highlight for me.

Do yourself a favor and finish with a blueberry float.

Maybe I'm overselling this spot with this review, but honestly not by much. You should eat here.

Fellow hikers tipped us off to this place and we were so glad they did. We figured it had to be good since these folks said they were mostly vegetarian but that the ribs were the best. We got the four person platter and it was incredible. Not pictured is the potato salad. More than enough for four people. We loved the ribs!

A charming BBQ, with delicious food next to a fantastic brewery. They are two separate businesses but the proximity creates a fantastic combination. The whole vibe of the place gave off good time!

Fantastic food, will be going again when I return to the area!

Probably the best BBQ I had…. Ever. We enjoyed the real wings and the sampler. For 3 of us the perfect afternoon snack. All crazy delicious!
I think the chicken was actually my favorite. Perfect smoky and juicy…. Omg!
Of course an amazing selection of Atlantic brews.
Service so friendly and FAST…!!!
Thank you!!!

Some of the best barbecue I've had in the country. Most places only do one specific type of BBQ well but Mainely Meat does EVERYTHING well. The Max plate is our go to and feeds our family of 5 easily. The service is always fast and on point despite being busy (but never busy enough that we need to wait). There's nothing bad on the menu and the beers from Atlantic Brewing Co are as fresh as it gets. The seating area that Mainely Meats shares with Atlantic brewing is really nice to eat at on a summer night. I can't recommend this place enough, it's always our first stop when coming to Maine. Definitely worth the trip.

Cool place to have a casual lunch outdoors. Good BBQ food and nice selection of beer.

9/23/21 - If you are vacationing at Acadia and are looking for a change of pace from the typical Maine lobster pound, give Mainely-Meat Bar-B-Que a try. We stopped in for a late-lunch/early-dinner at 3pm. There was both indoor and outdoor seating available. We chose to dine indoors since it was not too crowded. We ordered "The Max Plate" which is a LARGE platter of pulled pork, ribs, chicken, Italian sausage, and four side dishes. Check out the attached picture of the platter. This was the best BBQ that we've had in quite some time. I'm not usually a fan of pulled pork, but this pulled pork was really good. The Max Plate was a lot of food and we had leftovers for days (good thing our room had a refrigerator and microwave!). The waitstaff was very attentive and there was plenty of onsite parking. Too bad the ice cream shop was closed.

A great place to stop on our way out of Acadia/the island with a quaint and cool environment. Refreshing beers and tasty bbq. The beans were unique and delicious, as was the cornbread. The pulled pork sandwich was yummy slathered in a mix of their sauces.

If you are visiting Maine this BBQ place is a MUST. My husband and I have gone to Maine 2 years in a row on vacation. We went to the Knox Road location. Outdoor seating is pleasant and the vibe is upbeat. The BBQ is amazing. Pulled pork melts in your mouth. Get the corn bread as a side. Our waiter at Mainely Meats was friendly, welcoming and wearing a mask. A bonus: Atlantic Brewing Company is on site for tastings and purchases. Great choices of IPAs. Although the college aged staff at the register at the brewery is less than welcoming and seem to not want to interact with customers which was unfortunate as that was not our experience last year.

This was some of the best bbq I've ever had. The atmosphere, decor, smell, and the food were unbelievable. Highly, highly recommend. Even the live music and the waitress were amazing. Go out of your way to eat here.

AWESOME antidote to too much lobster!
I had the "Sampler" and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich. I wish I had taken a picture, but after humoring her hankering for lobster for one meal too many... well I'm sure you understand. I ordered the Mountain Hopper IPA and my wife had the Blueberry Ale. We bought souvenir four-packs to bring home. This place was a home run.

What a fun place! The blueberry lemonade was the perfect refreshment after spending the afternoon hiking. The Cuban sandwich was delicious with a generous amount of meat.

Great barbecue food in a quaint outdoor beer garden setting. Our family all enjoyed the pulled pork platter with beans. The pork was extremely tender and the sauce (on the side) was very tasty. Be sure to order a side of the tasty corn bread which is available as a side by request (not on menu as it is made fresh and tends to run out). They have all Atlantic beers on tap, as well as the bottled root beer and blueberry soda available. Great stop for lunch!

We were searching for a place to grab an early dinner and ribs sounded perfect. We got there and the parking lot was mostly full but we found a spot. Always a good sign. They asked for patience since they were short staffed but honestly the wait was short and all the staff was super friendly. Food was great. We got the Max which is a combination of ribs, chicken, spicy Italian sausage, and pulled pork. Sides were beans and potato salad...we skipped the slaw. Portion size was great and we ate well (family 4). Service was fast and friendly even if they were under pressure. Definitely recommend this place!

After living in Georgia for 20 years, I’m always a bit skeptical about BBQ in areas not “known” for BBQ (in no way trying to knock Maine, just think of Carolinas, TX, GA/AL for BBQ). This place is legit. Ribs, Brisket and Pulled Pork on point. Rub is really good, but not typical TX/Carolina/Southern based. Mix the homemade sauces together.

Best ribs I've ever had in my life. Meat fell right off the bone. Even the bone itself was soft from the slow cooking. Love the dry rub seasoning - I personally hate drowning ribs in sauce (it comes with sauce on the side if that's what you prefer) but I really appreciated that I had the option of eating it dry or with sauce. Side of potato salad was amazing, coleslaw wasn't too soggy, and baked beans was awesome too. I don't typically even like corn bread but it was extremely soft and warm. This huge plate in the pic for just $17 (half rack of ribs shown in pic). Highly recommend the ribs. Service was awesome too, and lots of seating indoor and outdoor. Next to ice cream place.

We loved it here! As tourists, we seek out interesting and well rated food joints, and Mainley Meat didn't disappoint. We had a wonderful, friendly server. Food came out very quickly and was delicious. Would like to have tried the dessert, but we were far too full.
Plenty of parking, but come early...it gets packed.
