We are local to the area and decided to go out for BBQ. The food was not terrible. The brisket was overly fatty. It had good flavor. However, the unpleasant service, small portions and charging for refills on unsweetened iced tea ($3) will deter us from returning. When we had asked the server about being charged for a refill, the response was that it would be taken care of but they charge because iced tea is made in house. I wouldn’t suspect is to be made anywhere else as COGs for unsweetened iced tea is low as its usually a tea bag and water. I’m disappointed in feeling the server was attempting to pad the bill as charging for soft beverage refills is usually not a customary business practice, especially not seen in small towns within Maine. I hope the business corrects this moving forward.
It’s not often to find a BBQ focused restaurant that offers vegan options, and even less often that a BBQ restaurant that offers delicious and extensive vegan options! I was so happy to be recommended Station 118 and look forward to coming back again!

This place is awful!! I'm not one for writing a bad review but this place is genuinely awful. I had lunch today with a friend and her daughter. I got pulled pork with beans, fries and a coleslaw. The coleslaw had NO flavor (at all), the beans were bland with a slight bit of heat, the fries were not crispy and the pork was okay but at one point, I had a mouthful of fat that I had to dispose of discreetly. The service was just as bad as the meal. I asked for some mayo and got an eye roll from the server. She didn't bring it until it was requested again. She was incredibly rude. I am a generous tipper- my baseline is 20% and go up from there. She didn't get close to that, I only gave a tip because I was with people. My meal cost $30 and my friends meal cost her $60. They also left part of their meals uneaten due to poor taste. To make things worse, I have felt sick since (several hours). We were so looking forward to some good BBQ and this place was not it!! It was a waste of time and money.

Pulled pork and brisket was great, cornbread appetizer and smoked chicken wings really good. The mac and cheese side was disappointing, not much cheese. The bbq baked beans were great for one of us but had green pepper which is a personal preference that I don't like.

Loved this place and the food was very good. Sweet girls working, hostess and waitress. Loved the vibe, atmosphere and decor. Mushroom Sliders were yummy. Owner attention to detail is great. Cutest salt n pepper shakers. Even extra amenities in the ladies room...made me think owner is a woman! 🥰

Delicious! Classic BBQ plus unique specialties. I had Moxie soda chicken wings, corn ribs (grilled corn cob quarters flavored like street corn), slaw, and 3-bean salad. Great staff, covered outdoor tables.

The BBQ is better than down south! This place is legit. Servers were extremely friendly, fast, attentive. BBQ sauce options are awesome and I even bought some in bottles to use at home. Even side dishes were to die for. This place showed me Maine isn’t just all about good seafood, but great, authentic BBQ too!!

Smoked Brisket
This was my first time eating here, and the service from the time I walked in, to the time I walked out, was incredible! I was instantly seated, and the person who seated me was also my server.
The kitchen was open, so it almost gave a Hibachi feeling.
Food and drinks were served promptly. When my server asked if I wanted a refill, she mentioned the specific drink I had ordered rather than being generic.
The food was very filling.
The desert was also very good.

I thought I had had good smoked brisket before.... well this place has it at a whole new level! Perfect, just perfect! The atmosphere is fantastic, service was spot on, perfect portions, couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I wish I had found this place sooner! Definitely in my top ten, and I'll be making it a regular stop.
