A local group of barbecue restaurants has been joined by a new location north of Boston that has soft-opened.
According to a post on its Facebook page, The Smoke Shop BBQ is now open in Methuen for pickup and delivery only (and with a limited menu), with its official opening taking place next week. The new Pelham Street location joins others in Boston's Fort Point, East Boston, Somerville's Assembly Row, and Harvard Square in Cambridge, and another outlet is on its way to Woburn as well at some point.
Chef/restaurateur Andy Husbands first started The Smoke Shop BBQ in 2016 with a location in Cambridge's Kendall Square.
The address for the new location of The Smoke Shop BBQ in Methuen is 151 Pelham Street, Methuen, MA, 01844. The website for all locations can be found at https://thesmokeshopbbq.com/
