Note that this is a take-out-only spot with a few picnic tables on the side of the building. Even though the service is excellent, be prepared to wait a while (about a 20+ minute wait on a Saturday at noon). It’s best to call in advance and pick up your food if you’re in a hurry.
Service aside, the food was great!
The pork ribs were absolutely delicious, pull-off-the-bone tender!
The brisket was super juicy and fatty with an incredible bark.
We didn’t like the street corn very much.
The cornbread muffins were moist and not too sweet.
Their sauces are homemade; we highly recommend the Hot John sauce!

Our first time here! The best brisket we’ve ever had! (Choice of fatty/lean) we had the fatty! It is Soft! Juicy! Melt in your mouth! Delicious! (Didnt get the chance to take a photo as my family cant stop eating! ) Grilled wings is a must try too! We also had a toast, fries mashed potato and 3 different kinds of sauces and everything was just absolutely more than a 5 stars!
Great service! worth the price!
A must try takeaway spot in Houlton Maine! we’ll be back for sure!

Had the Bigfoot crunch wrap and the Shirewood mac n cheese. My son and husband had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. All was delicious, and next time we are up, we will be stopping in to eat again

We have a camp in northern Maine that I usually visit a couple times a month. I go an hour out of the way every time just to come here. 10/10 would recommend. Get yourself a brisket Bigfoot crunch wrap. They’re doing the lords work in there.

Stopped by for lunch. Got the brisket with the “fatty” option. Was great, and I will definitely come back again when I am in Houlton (not from the area). Collard greens were also excellent. Service was friendly and relatively fast. It was quite busy, but the wait was fine. If I had to find something to complain about, it would be that the cornbread is a little too sweet for my taste. If you are in the area, check them out!

Fantastic BBQ. I know how BBQ and sides are supposed to taste. I’m a Pit Master myself from the South. This place has mastered the art of what good ole southern BBQ is supposed to taste like. I have traveled all over Maine eating at BBQ restaurants. No one has come close to ShireWood. I will make the 2-1/2 hour drive when I want to get my BBQ fix.

First time at Shirewood Smokehouse, the pulled pork plate, cole slaw and beans were really good. We tried the two hot sauces and both were great. If you’re in Houlton, Maine stop by and give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed. This is take out only.

I’m still licking my fingers after a brisket sandwich! Wow! Great flavor, tender and tasty! This from someone quite familiar with Texas brisket, whoo hoo! Keep up the good work, and thanks for a great experience!
