Yankee Smoke House in West Ossipee, NH

[NewEnglandCamper]

Patty, the kids, and I enjoyed a nice dinner with a new seasonal friend of ours at the Yankee Smoke House in West Ossipee, NH. I shared a whole rack of ribs (~$20) with my company which in my opinions was enough food for 3 hungry men or a family of 4. The ribs were good, tender, and tasty and was served with a warm bottle of extra bbq sauce. However, during this visit, I realized that I'm not exactly a ribs lover and politely offered the left overs to our guest (which there was plenty). I also had ordered a side of cole slaw and a side of steak fries which was really too big for me to eat. The cole slaw was very good and had a light mustard season to it and the fries were excellent as well.  The kids enjoyed their chicken fingers ($5.99) and mozerella sticks ($6.99) but I thought the prices for the kids meal were slightly steep.

While I thought my meal was just good, Patty on the other hand really enjoyed her Smoked BBQ chicken dinner ($10.99). For sides, she had the baked beans, 1/2 ear of corn, and some french fries. Each meal was served with Texas Toast. Patty really enjoyed this and she knows her breads!

We visited in the offseason and found that the service was excellent (especially after compared to our last visit to a local establishment)!  Not only to us but to the couple that was sitting across from us. Very accomodating.

As expected, this is NOT a fancy resturant (i.e., jeans recommended) but is very clean and warm (both for a cold night and to enjoy a pleasant evening with your family or friends). The decor is neatly decorated with cute little piggies everywhere: ornaments, wallpaper, curtains, etc. This place is EXTREMELY popular during motorcycle season and summer season.

If you want tasty BBQ food, BIG portions, at a good price the Yankee Smokehouse won't disappoint! Just driving by and experiencing the aroma from your car makes you want to stop in. We did tonight on our way up to DB but already had dinner planned. We will definately go back!  I would like to try some of their beef and chicken dishes.

If I could change something -- I wish they would shake up their sides dishes and offer some new items (e.g., fresh veggies, mashed or baked potatoes, squash, seasonal items, etc.)

Has anyone been there? I did a search but noone post a review. You can't miss this place on NH-16

We have been by it many many times but never stopped in.  We call it the pigily wiggily.

Glad you had a goodtime.

Hello All!  Yes, we've been to the smokehouse. We didn't hate it, but to tell the truth, I make really awesome ribs...   sooo, this was no big deal to us.  It was good, but not finger-lickin-good-great.  I suppose if you are longing for barbecue, particularly in the next few months, this will fit the bill!!!

My husband loves the place, but it's not my favorite.  He is a meat and potato guy, and I'm a veggie salad girl.  Not so good on the fresh veggies.  Had a stuffed mushroom that was HORRIBLE there once.  But hubby just loves the ribs and chicken.  Guess it's all in what you want!
