The Smoke Shop BBQ is a Cambridge-based restaurant concept built on more than two decades of practice by World Barbecue Champion Chef Andy Husbands. Its menu centers on slow-cooked, competition-style barbecue, featuring brisket, pulled pork, burnt ends, and meat boards, with sides such as collard greens and pimento mac and cheese. The concept operates across multiple Boston-area locations, including Kendall Square in Cambridge, the Seaport, and Assembly Row, and offers a substantial selection of American whiskeys and Southern-inspired cocktails, complemented by live entertainment and pig roasts as part of the dining experience. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, The Smoke Shop BBQ is part of the restaurant industry and has a small-to-mid-sized team. It has expanded its footprint in the Boston area with openings in Somerville and East Boston, and in early 2025 announced the opening of a new location in Methuen, Massachusetts.
