This MD BBQ Restaurant Named Among Best In The U.S.

BALTIMORE, MD — A Baltimore eatery has been named among the top 50 barbecue restaurants in the United States.

Travel website OnlyInYourState.com recently asked its readers and editorial staff to determine which restaurants across the country are serving up the best barbecue.

From Texas-style in the Pacific Northwest to longstanding BBQ joints in the South (and everything in between), Only In Your State then narrowed the choices down to the 50 best barbecue spots across the United States.

Included on the list was Heritage Smokehouse, located on York Road in Baltimore's Govans neighborhood.

"We take immense pride in serving award-winning barbecue and crafting specialty cocktails at our rum bar," according to the restaurant's website. "Everything we offer is made in-house from scratch, and our meats are lovingly smoked in custom smokers right here."

According to Only In Your State, Heritage Smokehouse balances tradition and technique, serving brisket, pulled pork, and ribs with a focus on quality and flavor.

"The smoky aroma and hearty plates make it a local favorite, offering a taste of authentic barbecue for the area," the authors wrote. "This is award-winning barbecue at its finest. Plus, you can't go wrong with their extensive craft cocktail menu."

Those who've journeyed there agree that Heritage Smokehouse is worth the stop.

"By far my favorite neighborhood restaurant!" one person wrote. "There’s always seating, even at the bar and the food comes out hot and fast. I take everyone who’s visiting here and love that it’s family-friendly."

"Not exaggerating: best brisket I’ve ever had, and I’m from Texas," another raved. "10/10 will eat again, highly recommend!"
