After a visit to the Suffolk County Historical Society and Riverhead Library, I had some time for lunch. Someone I had met that moring suggested trying Maple Tree BBQ Smokehouse for “something different.” She was certainly right! An interesting place, with great food, just 1/2 mile from where I was.
There was no parking available on the street next to the restaurant. The gravel lot is located across a very busy Route 25A. If the weather is nice, and you can manage the gravel steps going down, there are some picnic benches along the water, for restaurant patrons. Get a take-out order and enjoy the outdoors. If you want closer “outdoors” there is a fair sized outdoor dining area behind the restaurant.
The front entrance requires two steps to the landing and a small “lip” through the single door. There is a ramp to the single-door handicapped entrance on the side of the building.
Inside, I found rustic dercor complete with exposed, wooden beams. Wood planks cover the floor. Tables and chairs have ample space between them. There is also a full-height counter with six bar stools.
The very large, chalkboard menu had so many choice it was difficult to decide. After finally making a choice (one orders at the counter and it is brought to your table), I took a seat and looked around. It was lunchtime and almost every table was occupied, by men. I was the sole woman for most of my meal, a testament to BBQ. My choice was delicious and the roasted sweet potatoes were incredible! I can’t wait to bring my husband here. He will love it!
A very large, single-occupancy, handicapped-acessible,restroom , with baby-changing station, is at the rear.
