What a wonderful surprise. We stopped at this small-town restaurant while driving to Canada, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The place has such a cozy, homey feel, the log cabin setup, beautiful interior décor, and fireplace area make it warm and inviting, like you want to stay awhile and relax.
We started with the duck wontons, which were absolutely fantastic and packed with flavor. For our main dishes, we ordered the Smokey BBQ burger and the Ghost Burger, and both were incredibly delicious – juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
From the atmosphere to the food, everything exceeded our expectations. If you’re passing through or even nearby, this spot is 100% worth the stop. Highly recommend!

We loved this place. They cooked my husband’s burger perfectly which is not easy because he’s very particular. I had the chicken tenders basket and fries. Portion was huge; I brought home about half of it because there was so much! We will definitely go back, and we do recommend this to anyone traveling that way.

We had a fantastic time at Smokin’ Barrels! It’s the perfect spot to warm up by the fireplace after being out in the cold. The food was delicious, and they have a great selection of kid-friendly options that my daughter loved. The drinks were on point and the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Jackman!

We are up here on vacation and just came across this place on our travels. So glad that we did! We got lunch the first time, the sandwiches were delicious. We just left there from dinner and we were not disappointed! I got Street Chicken and my husband got Cajun chicken penne. Both were delicious and there’s absolutely no complaints about portion size! We got the apple dumpling cookie, for dessert, it was served warm and a great end to a great meal. Server was very attentive and pleasant. Worth the price. Will probably eat there again before we leave for home.

We are vacationing in Jackman for several days and had dinner here last night. It was quite busy as it was New Years eve and I think the only place open. For an appetizer, we had wings with 3 different sauces, which were AMAZING. I would go back there just for the wings. I had the fettuccine alfredo with garlic bread. The fettuccine was very dry and sticky, as if it had been sitting out for a while, but it wasn’t downright terrible and had a good flavor. My boyfriend had the haddock sandwich, which I tried and was good, but it was obvious that the haddock was frozen and not fresh. The fries were awesome. Our server was awesome, very upbeat and friendly, and she frequently checked on us to see if we needed anything. We will probably return while we are in town.

We were driving through on our way back from Quebec to Maine, with two kids – we had a wonderful lunch and we will definitely stop there again if we ever do this drive one more time.
The waiter Eva, was sweet, patient and efficient. The food was good, tasty and fairly priced.

Stopped for lunch on our way south. Restaurant was crowded but the one waitress did the best she could. Our BLT sandwiches were very good but for some reason they couldn’t toast our bread. I’d go back if they weren’t crowded.

Food, service and atmosphere is amazing.
Burger was excellent. Great beer selection. Girls got the absolute brownie for dessert and I got the allagash North sky. Very enjoyable. I suggest a stop here.
