Reviews of 302 West Smokehouse & Tavern (Restaurant)

Wassim Ayass

It was a vibrant place with a good energy. The service at first was very very slow. They have a large menu and many options available, the food was fine. We sat on the deck it was good. Overall a fun place for Saturday night.

Matty Who

Not bad! The pulled BBQ chicken was delicious. The fries were fresh and crisp and the coleslaw was an A+. Atmosphere was great and our waitress was a riot. The only reason why I took off a star is because the brisket was a little tough and very fatty. Other than that, I highly recommend. They give you a mild BBQ sauce and a house BBQ sauce, and both were incredible and I wish they sold them!

302 West did the catering for our wedding. We had a pretty large offering with smoked chicken, pulled pork, brisket, veggies, Mexican pasta salad, veggies, Mac and cheese, cornbread and coleslaw. ALL of which was absolutely phenomenal. Their were served appetizers as well with hot balls, kielbasa, buffalo chicken balls and a meat and cheese board. It was a huge spread and I'm sure took so much set up and was beyond what we could have expected. Sandra was our main contact and organizer through them and she was incredibly knowledgeable and well prepared and organized. Definitely a major part of our day running smoothly. All the people she brought with her to help were incredible as well. I can't say enough good things about this business and their food. I would highly recommend them for events and good food!

We were on vacation, visiting the White Mountain National Forest when we happened upon this place and stopped for lunch. It was excellent! Our server, Jessica, had great suggestions for food and what just the right amount of attentive (difficult with a football game going on and a bar packed with people!). The wings were huge and delicious. Burger was nothing fancy, but that was a good thing - just a simple, good burger. A great surprise find!

Great local eats!

Paul Dwyer

Excellent BBQ and very large portions. The restaurant is small so you may have a wait if you arrive at the peak dinner time. The staff is friendly and the food comes quickly after you order.

Bill Barbin

Such a great menu. A true tavern in Fryeburg ME

Krystall Rudman

I get excited whenever a restaurant offers veggie burgers and theirs is delicious! The rolls are delicious as well, not the typical dry ones. We had the bruschetta appetizer and that was very tasty! The french fries were ok. The onion rings were not that great, I will definitely not get them again.

Kym Fatello

Great food, fast service with cheerful personalities! Ribs and brisket were delicious. They don't mind substituting sides. A must if you are in the Bridgton, Fryeburg, or N Conway area!!

James Lincoln

Best restaurant in town. This place has amazing food and great service. Because of that it is always packed. Plan on waiting at least 15 minutes for a table.

Chris Bernazzani

I'm sure it's a nice place but must have caught them on a bad day. Nice deck with views, customers next to us had feet up on counter where you eat, 2 feet from our food talking to manager...staff is warm and friendly

G P

Fantastic fish and chips!

Scott Napert

Always exceptional food and staff! Whether I'm snowmobiling or tubing on Saco eating there is a must.

Princess K

OMG!! This was an awesome find for food. Burgers were excellent. I tried the Buffalo Chicken Balls, yummmmm. Very nice and accommodating staff, very reasonable pricing

Holly Churchill

We love going there! They have fantastic food and great waitresses/waiters that give excellent service. If you get a chance to go there on a nice day then see if you can sit at the dry bar outside...if you are lucky you might even see some wildlife out in the field! :0))

Derek Dresser

Love this place. Reasonable, great pulled pork nachos, super friendly staff.

Jade Bedard

I love this place! It's a great atmosphere, great people, staff and food!

Autumn

The absolute best pulled pork nachos we have ever had! Highly recommend! I have traveled all over the US, all this quaint tavern blows me away. From taste, portion size and friendliness of staff 302 West is 5 stars all the way.

Chad Chviek

Our waitress was great. Food was great too.

Bruce Ginn

Two salads, one with smoked chicken and the other with steak tips. Very good

Paulo Perez

Delicious food, awesome place, and excellent service.

Jim McParland

Great menu and the food is always great. I love the pulled pork and the steak tips are amazing. The parking lot is deceiving, it can be jammed with no spots, but the restaurant inside can have plenty of room, always worth checking out even if it seems they are busy. The restaurant is basically a bar with tables, so iside can get a little loud. They have a good kids menu and the wait staff is super friendly.

James Cameron

Great food! Great staff. A bit of a wait for bigger parties.

David E Erskine

Very friendly staff, great tacos, salads and pulled pork. Bar / tavern, family friendly. Are there twice, lunch one day and dinner.

Patricia Ricciardi

Wonderful..you would not believe what awesome entrée they offer for specials...

Cathy Breau

This was our first time there. We absolutely loved it!The craziness is just our style. Our waitress, Terry was awesome. My husband had the surf and turf, and I had the rib dinner. It was very good! Only 1 complaint. Sandra needs to tone down the perfume. Every time she walked by i wanted to gag. Someone in the restaurant industry should know better. Definitely be back!

Christine Pietraallo

Big portions and delicious! Lots of options! No drink menu though

Wojciech Kalka

By far the best burger I had in the whole area, and the services was excellent. 5/5 ... highly recommended

lauren holiday

Great BBQ!!! The atmosphere is very unique. The restrooms have some pretty funny pictures in them, my husband came back with a huge smile on his face and says... You should go check out the ladies room because the men's room is fantastic hahaha.

Andrea O'Brion

Delicious food in a kitschy atmosphere

Jason Hawley

Cool atmosphere, seems like your in a public house, we shared the fish and chips, and some french onion soup which didn't dissapoint. Friendly staff and food was ready quick!

Christine Fazzio

Excellent food!

Alfred Hibler

Bill Bochynski

Not 2AF; old, average, dark, muddy parking lot.

Paul Martinage

We always stop at the 302 West Smokehouse Tavern after our annual Saco kayak trip. The service is excellent! Terri is the best! and Sarah is equally as wonderful

Liz RODERIQUES

I received a sandwich I didn't order. I was hungry and didn't return it. It was really good, but not what I ordered. Other than that I would have given it 4 stars.

Nancy Deroin

Friendly and great service! Food is homemade! Corn bread is to die for! We had fish and chips and the fish was white and flakey! Everything on the menu is a hit!

Norm Decoste

Outstanding clam chowder! I got the pulled chicken, incredible flavor and portion, great smokehouse atmosphere. Server was friendly and efficient, highly recommend this place

Matthew McGrath

Good food, typically decent service. Its a bit small so it can get loud, louder than I like for dinner, but it is what it is. Clean, casual place to grab some food, beer and hang out with some friends. Definitely the best bar in town for casual environment.

Felix Perez

Very good food. Very Busy place. Bathrooms have some art work that sensitive people might find offensive. My 8 year old son was very surprised to see some of the female anatomy displayed in the bathroom but it's nothing too bad. I'm just warning you in case you're sensitive to that kind of thing. My six year old daughter came out of the lady's room and the first thing she told me about was the photo of a naked football player (Gronk according to my smiling wife who made a suspicious number of trips to the bathroom). THE FOOD THOUGH!!! Amazing. Try the pickled onions. I had the pull pork and it was perfect!

Terry Eichles

Well represented by all waitstaff and chiefs alike. Always enjoyable. Decor and music fun and entertaining. Favorite spot for a day or evening getaway. Highly recommend.

Matt Glennie

Always great service and food

Koolshades Kasprr

I'm sorry to say our experience was just horrible.. first the place was extremely loud.. very very difficult to have any conversation.. flies kept pestering us the whole time.. drinks were weak !! Not much alcohol.. then the order came.. my tacos were wrong.. they got me a replacement.. that was barely warm and tasted gross.. the other thing ordered was a steak n cheese sub.. the bread was slimy on the outside and uneditable.. actually disgusting.. we will never ever go back.. can't believe the good reviews.. they must be fake or something wrong in kitchen.. never again.. we couldn't barely eat anything so all that food was wasted... !!!!

J9K

Food was FANTASTIC! Service was FANTASTIC! My family and I have been there multiple times and always walk out full with a smile on our face. GREAT place!

Peter Wade

Great food and the men's bathroom artwork was intriguing. Great Ambiance and the wait staff was excellent. A great place to stop on your travels.

Tefani Blake

I walked in with my boyfriend and 18 month old and new we made the right choice. The atmosphere was inviting and the staff were amazing. My server was the best server I have had, maybe ever. He made conversation with my toddler and first bumped him when prompted! The food was amazing with a wide variety of menu options, unique to this experience and the presentation was beautiful! Thank you so much for such a great experience!!

Paul Forte

Biggest chicken wings ever and delicious. Nice little outside deck. I had a small simple salad 1/2 portion huge and excellent. Will definitely be back

HOMA SAADAT

My Rate is actually 3.5 Atmosphere is great,staff super friendly and nice!! We got 302 pig out to share.plate was big enough for two.Fries was very good.Ribs was very fatty,they didn’t remove the fat from the meat. Sausages were ok.Brisket i didn’t like much . We also got a Raspberry cheesecake and that was also good.

Gary Nylander

The wings are simply amazing. Every flavor was delicious and they're absolutely enormous. Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff.

Gene R M

Very friendly staff and it has that old time been here forever feel. The food is well portioned and the prices are very fair. If your out on a drive and want to get a good meal at a fair price, this is a great place to visit.

Brian Trauger

Sat at the bar, great food, friendly staff. We'll go again next time we are in the area!

Catherine Kent

Great food, great staff. Friendly atmosphere

Darryl Sampson

cold beer and good food....cool theme to the place as well

James Heggeman

Always busy so call ahead if you need to be quick, but that's because its a great spot, good food, amazing mountain views from the deck, never had an issue with service there, and ive3 been going there for a decade. 4 stars because there is always room for improvement. I would love to see the deck get revamped for better entertainment space! If your in the area I would STRONGLY recommend this for lunch or dinner! Enjoy

John Meara

Great food. Be mindful that there might be a wait if you go in on a Friday/ Saturday at peak dinner time.

Damn damn damn I been in the are for about 6 yeas and never been here until I tried it with my smoking hot girlfriend we got burgers and a couple of beers and it tasted amazing the environments it’s so great I love this place

Abbigail Diamant

Great tasting food, even has good vegetarian options, and cool decor. The only reason it wasn't a five is that they play the music very loud which results in all the patrons being very loud. As soon as I walk in I have to pop a couple Ibprofen, but it's worth it.

Bethany Wilson

Absolutely fantastic best prime rib in the area , everything was superb very accommodating and nice people for sure will go back again ,happy valentines day

Emily Brink

Good food. Avoid trivia night, it gets way too busy and the trivia wasn't really worth hanging around for in my opinion. Also go for the beer not the cocktails, which are too expensive for what they are. I was also frustrated that my serve couldn't tell me what beer they had and how much it cost.

Diane Mondello

Had dinner here several times. Best fish tacos in all of New England. Great waite staff. Thank you!

Christy Moore

Great atmosphere and food was awesome. He had baked haddock and I had fajahitas. Both were great!

We have a camp in brownfield one tradition we have when we always come here for breakfast. It is delicious and the service is amazing. They are so friendly. We have come lots of times for dinner we enjoyed that as well.

Roxann Tyger

The food was excellent. Great selections plus vegetarian options. I based my ratings on the food alone. The restaurant was pretty loud, mainly from the bar crowd. And our waitress was incredibly, incredibly slow. Took 2 hours for a basic dinner.

scott c

Been here 2 times now 1st time had a big Mac burger. It was awesome. A little spicy but I like that. Also tried Philly cheese steak eggrolls and they are great. Today had steak Mac and cheese and cir bread all were really good

Chelsea Hofegartner

Eric Hodecker

Awesome food. GREAT atmosphere. Awnings New Hampshire.

Didn’t know what to expect, not a lot of options. This place is awesome! Fast and friendly staff, really good food, good fun atmosphere. Will be back!

Brandon Weckbacher

Great place with great staff and always a fun time with great food and drink

Tara Cain

The food was very good and plenty of it. The chicken cheese balls are REALLY tasty, and they had several fresh desserts including cheesecake! But it is super loud in there, there are no cushions on the bench seats, and it is not super clean and cheery. Check out the ladies bathroom if you can!

Jacob Bradley

Had the chance to try the Ribeye and the ribs, both were fantastic. The steak and ribs were seasoned and cooked properly and the bbq sauce was perfect. We will definitely be returning!

Marie Ellis

Rustic, pubby, a tad noisy!! But had twin american burgers w/fries -- very good! And served hot hot hot!!!!! Server was great!!!!

David Fonseca

Great atmosphere and great BBQ.

Tammy Holmes

Very good meal. Everything tasted great. The prices are quite high. The waitress was excellent. Ate on the deck with the sun setting and deer in the field. Can't get better then that. Very busy place. Ribs were fall of the bone delicious. Double breaded fried haddock was excellent. My steak was cooked perfectly. Red potato mash was not that great. It wasn't creamy, it was dry but was ok. Roasted cauliflower needed seasoning by still ok. Margarita and run and coke were both delicious. 3 drinks,2 appetizers,3 meals. $125. We will go back but for celebrations and not everyday dining out.

John Trufant

Great place to go for good food and very friendly

Artie Davis

Food was extremely good. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Trivia cards on the table we're a fun time killer, though the food came out quickly so there wasn't much time to kill. Dessert case was stocked with goodies and that really excited the kids. Hot balls appetizer is a must if you like spice. Steak tips served on potato skins is my go to, though everything is great.

william rein

Good food and beer.

Bob Bissonnette

Awesome food!!! Great Service!!!

Alex Socha

Great food and service! Also fantastic locally brewed bet on tap as well.

Good food, nice atmosphere

James Cornwall

Very interesting artwork in the bathrooms. Great food, a good stop away from North Conway mob scene.

Jan Yindra

It is always great! A wonderful place to stop after a shopping trip in North Conway. My favorite are those Jamacian Chicken Wings!! Yummy! Fun place and great service! Just a hop, skip and a jump from our home on Bridgton!

Len Pow

Always have a great meal here, love the BBQ chicken and baked beans, tasty BBQ sauce. Always fairly crowded, but never had to wait. Pretty fast service, friendly servers, plenty to eat, and reasonable prices...love it!

Kimi J Lowell Souza

Tammy makes THE BEST chocolate martinis!

Tim Hofmann

Cool decor. Fun, rowdy vibe. Food is mediocre. Weird sliced brisket. Fried clams suck. Bbq tastes like propane. If you are starving and want a beer it does the trick.

Paul Brooks

Great food and fantastic atmosphere..

betty hayes

Quick lunch, tasty food and very reasonably priced.

Bonnie Sessions

This place has wonderful Ambiance. The food is to die for. The combination of the different foods brings out the best of all of the flavors on your plate. The staff was attentive and personable. We will be going back to sample more of their food and company..

alec guyer

The food is the best in town
