Taboo Bbq Pub - Rockport

We had Taboo BBQ cater our wedding! Not only was the food amazing everyone loved it not just me Jess went above and beyond to make sure my wedding was perfect and I had ever I needed! We had plenty of left overs for our guests to take home as well. I highly recommend them and my husband and I can not wait to go have dinner there!

Waited an hour for absolutely cold brisket tacos, had a lovely time listening to the server and kitchen staff yelling at each other. The only thing that would have fixed this would be to hire new kitchen staff.*Edit in response*I was not there tonight, for one. And my review is not misplaced as when I was there yesterday, our brisket tacos were absolutely cold. Not warm, not lukewarm, COLD. I was there yesterday at 8pm, it took 45 minutes plus to get a wedge salad, Mac cheese (which came out a good 10 minutes or more) before the brisket tacos came out. So maybe figure out your kitchen before assuming a review is misplaced, as I do not write false reviews. I wouldn't even have cared about the wait time if the food was actually hot.

So I don’t typically leave reviews of restaurants after eating there but I felt like I had to for this one! I was reading many of the reviews when they were a Mexican restaurant and many where not favorable. However, now that they have switched it up to BBQ they are killing it!! I am a bit of a BBQ enthusiast and I know good BBQ when I have it and have had many that are mediocre at best (including some of my own). I was quite surprised to see a 1000 gallon pit rolling smoke in a coastal town that is known for lobster so I had to check it out. I had a great chat with the pit master and he was happy to show me around his pit. We ordered the brisket, ribs and pulled pork with sides of Mac cheese, baked beans, cole slaw and cornbread. The brisket was cooked perfectly! It passed the pull test and the bend test and was seasoned very well! The pulled pork was also great although I prefer mine not sauced. Didn’t take away from the great Smokey flavor though, I just like mine with a little of the rendered juices for flavor. The ribs were also cooked well. Had to tug just a little to pull away from the bone (the way ribs should be)! The sides were good but really the star of the show should be the meats and they were amazing! So if you haven’t been there since they changed it over to BBQ do yourself a favor and stop again if you like good authentic Texas style BBQ. And if you don’t know what good authentic Texas style BBQ is, he’s got it going on! Oh and the sauces (while not needed) where also very good. We had the mustard based sauce and the regular BBQ sauce. Both very tasty. Congrats to you guys for switching it up and making a great product. It was a very nice surprise in a Maine coastal town!!

Finally made it over sense the change to BBQ didn't disappoint! There was 6 of us and we ordered alot of food all sharing and there was nothing we didn't like. Flavor was awesome brisket was extremely tender and moist. Pork belly and ribs was also great aswell.

We went to listen to The band. Pleasantly surprised they have Great Food the best corn bread ever! homemade ranch dressing and bbq sauce) PLUS fantastic fantastic drinks! The wings are smoked and crispy, the ribs fall off the bone. Our bar tender was very nice and very helpful! Definitely will return for more! They have mini golf next door or catch a drive in movie near by. We saw the movie Jaws after a great dinner, music and drinks. Perfect evening!
