Bark Barbecue

Casual order at the counter dining but the food is phenomenal!The chicken is the best. We ordered a sample plate I would highly recommend. It's a very casual environment so I wouldn't come here for the ambience. We stopped by on a Saturday night and it was completely empty. We were the only people at the restaurant.

Stopped by for lunch, not much space inside but there are tables outside that looks so cozy. We ordered the pitmaster sampler, pork belly and brisket sandwich, garlic mashed potatoes and a texmex salad? It had wontons and corn in it. Sandwiches were all were delish, if we lived closer I probably come back to taste the rest of the menu. Meat was juicy and flavorful.Out of the sampler platter, we loved the ribs and that potatoe cube. Garlic mashed potatoes was pretty good. Everything else was just meh. -rice was too dried-collard greens was sharper than a broken mirror -cole slaw was ok-chicken was somewhat juicy, had a hint of curry flavor to it. It wasn't bad.-brisket was a little dried

Wow, what a hidden gem of a bbq spot! + platter + chicken was so moist and flavorful + collards + pickles + great sauces + ribs + you can smell the smoke as soon as you pull into the lot Brisket wasn't my fave, but that chicken and ribs are fireeee

Wow. This place is so so good. Breakfast Burrito & Cappuccino were awesome. Ribs & Brisket out of this world. Sides were spot on and Laser Potatoes SO UNIQUE. Must try. Make sure you save room for the DESSERT too !!!Quality food, quality staff. They treat you like family. Thank you

Okay, take it from me...Bark Barbecue has the best bbq in Maryland! After seeing a few reviews from my fellow Yelpers we decided to try Bark's out for dinner. As soon as you park your car your greeted with the amazing smell from the wood fired grills. You know a restaurant is good when you want to eat everything on the menu, so we ordered the bbq platter and a brisket sandwich. The platter comes with four sides and one of them is the laser potatoes....you HAVE to try them! The food was delicious and there was enough left over (the platter serves two) that we took home the leftovers. Those probably won't last the night in our refrigerator. The outdoor seating is very crazy with baskets of beautiful flowers and plenty of fans to stay cool. You can sit there and get a great view of the bbq grills. As others have mentioned, Bark Barbecue is out the way, but we will now make it a regular stop for bbq. I can't wait to try their breakfast burritos. Oh, and my wife and son LOVED their ice cream.

Found this spot on Yelp and will say it was completely worth the drive over the bridge on Fathers Day. It's tucked away in a business park like all good BBQ and breweries are. Plenty of parking and outdoor seating that's covered! With fans! I wouldn't say an extensive menu but that's good! Do a few things well and boy did they. The kiddo got the ribs which he called spicy but he also called pancakes spicy. So you know, he's not a reliable narrator. Hubby and I both got the bark bowl. I had chicken and him brisket. Interesting mix of flavors and textures. Love the red rice with Cole slaw. Major thumbs up to all the BBQ offerings. Love the local canned beer selection and out of state wines. That's for the best though. I may be a wine snob now but MD wines just don't cut it. Anyway. The best part may have been the ice cream. Hubby got the seasonal sundae which was a peach blueberry cobbler. Peach and vanilla swirled soft serve with blue berry sauce and crumbles. OMG. Immediately texted my dad who is a peach ice cream man about it. The kiddo and I split a cookies and cream milkshake. So good! I suspect it won't be a hidden gem for long.

Bark barbecue café is a hidden gem. They offer warm welcoming atmosphere along with prescription food, drink, and dessert. It must visit for everyone looking for delightful dining experience. I'm still dreaming about my meal. Each bite was delight delightful and the presentation just blew me away. don't miss out. trying the ribs, chicken the brisket and the rice and potato out of the world

Bark BBQ is one of those places that, unfortunately, you have to know exists before you go there. Part of a little industrial / commercial park off the main road in a small town, there's not much chance you're going to see it from the main highway. But, if you're crossing The Bridge, it's worth popping off the highway and going all of a mile and a half out of your way. There's a great little park and hiking area just down by it, which is how I managed to find it. Bark's main entrance is literally mindblowing. A huge sign, huge area of wood, big smokers, and a kind of fancy looking frontage -- but inside, it's a typical kind of bbq joint. There's plenty of small tables outside, but inside, it's just two very large, "community style" tables, and a counter where you place your order. The menu is posted up over your head, but notice that there's a few other items to the sides on their own menu boards? Weird, but whatever. I ordered a pulled pork bbq sandwich, which was served on a bun with chopped coleslaw on top, and a slightly (very slightly) spicy bbq sauce. They've got quite a variety of sauces, and I imagine they'll substitute them out for you. It was a bit sloppy, and utterly delicious. The box it came in wound up soaked with sauce and bits of coleslaw, and I vaguely considered eating it, too. But, y'know, people would judge. The sandwich comes with a side of crisps, too, which I didn't eat. They have cans of soda, wine, and beer -- a little bit odd, as they appear to be mostly a weekly lunch spot, but, you do you. I got a can of soda. I do wish they had either bottles or a fountain, since a single can wasn't enough to really go with the meal, and I didn't wanna go up to the counter and order another. Overall, the BBQ was amazing -- not the "best I've ever had" level, but up there. If I had to, absolutely had to, come up with a negative comment on it, I did think it was a little expensive, especially considering the location. Prices are a little more in line with what I pay in the DC area than in the burbs of the burbs. Still, portion was good, food was fantastic, and I thought it was fair.

Pros:The best barbecue that I have had in Maryland.Smoking the meat right in front of the location.Very large portions.Fast, polite service. Cons:Price is very high.Limited hours.Limited seating. Two tables inside (one very long). More seating outside on the parking lot. Limited menu (I posted a picture). However, the limited menu could also be a plus. Very few options but they are all done to perfection. There is also a platter for two which is not on their website, or the picture I posted, however it is on the wall inside the establishment, which I would certainly try. If you are looking for the very best authentic Texas barbecue on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and the price does not matter, this is the place for you!

Tasty food good service! Ask staff about menu options before placing order though. Will come agin when in area for sure!
