Somerville Could Be Getting A New BBQ Joint

It looks like a Cambridge favorite is opening a new restaurant at Assembly Row.

SOMERVILLE, MA – Fans of barbecue in Somerville may soon be able to get their ribs and pulled pork at Assembly Row. The Smoke Shop BBQ in Cambridge is reportedly eyeing a new location at the Row, according to Boston Restaurant Talk.

The restaurant blog cited a poster on the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook page, as well as the Smoke Shop's appearance on Federal Realty Investment Trust's list of tenants. According to FRIT's list, the restaurant would occupy a 4,490-square-foot space.

The Smoke Shop BBQ opened in Kendall Square last year under chef Andy Husbands. The menu features all the fixin's of a stomach-stuffing barbecue joint, including wings, brisket, pulled pork, ribs and catfish and chicken baskets.
