We chose Salvage BBQ for catering our family reunion after sampling several items one evening. The ribs were terrific and the pork tasty and moist. We had corn bread and we chose the Mac n cheese to make sure the kids had something they would like. The adults liked them as well.They delivered on time and we had more than enough for 30 people. This made for a great reunion without all the work!
Salvage is my favorite BBQ joint in Southern Maine. The Brisket and Collard Greens are top notch, I enjoy the order and pay method making it a great option on a night out before or after a game.Simply picnic table seating, large bar and an Andrea to lounge makes Salvage inviting weather your looking for a full meal, quick bit or night out.
I really like the atmosphere of this place. I also like the flow. You walk in, you order, you get a number, and they bring you your food. The drinks from the bar are very good, and the bartender is very knowledgeable about his mixing skills. The prices are high for the amount of food you get, but it didn't surprise me since it's Portland, Maine. Prices are high everywhere! The food was excellent and we enjoyed the LGBTQ+ friendly environment.
BBQ, Beer, Bingo. great ambiance. great food. great service.
We had a platter of 3 meats and two sides. The cornbread hush puppies are great, the fries are good but the soup was kind of tasting like it was from a can. The ribs are flavorful but seem baked as they weren't smokey as they were charred. The chopped pork was cold when we got it and the brisket was ok but did not have a solid flavor.ProsGood atmosphere and a well stocked barGreat staffKinda quiet around 1-2Homey feelingConsFood needs more flavorMake sure all the food is hotPricey for qualityNeeds more assistance for new patronsFinal rating 7/10
Food was very good, staff was super friendly.Would highly recommend if you are in the Porland, Maine area.
Was good food. Expensive, but you won't leave hungry. Service was good, friendly staff. Patient for us noobs who don't go there all the time, and efficient for those that do.Seems like a trendy little spot. Large and plenty of space.Recommend trying, I got the brisket sandwich and it was soaked in slaw which is exactly how I like it. Making me hungry and my mouth water as I'm thinking about it.
I had the pleasure of eating at Salvage this past Saturday. I’m from Northern Maine and just love BBQ. I got to say Salvage has the best brisket I’ve ever had , but it was the Chili that took the show. Best Chili ever ….. Loved the food and the atmosphere……
It's good. Not great. They do a nice job with their take-out. Regarding any other barbecue here in Maine, it's the best around. They do not have much competition. For us, it was one and done.
Stopped in here on a road trip up to Acadia this past summer. This place got me into BBQ. Best brisket I’ve had outside of places in Austin and Texas in general. I’d say best BBQ in the Northeast. Was so good I got a pound of brisket to use for sandwiches when camping. Had to stop by on my way back down too.
