Doobie's Smokehouse ~ Albuquerque, New Mexico


Food tent

First tried: May 2023

As noted in the High and Dry Brewing entry, we ended up having an impromptu barbecue dinner. And as you've now surmised that obviously was at Doobie's Smokehouse. A first for the RJG, we tried a place that was essentially a preopening ceremony. This is not a food truck, but rather a business that is about to (soft) open. And that date has been set for this Friday, June 2 (full opening in July). That new location is set to be next to the Public House ABQ, which is at Hermosa Dr. NE and Campus Blvd. NE 

Since it's just a tent, they offered a very limited menu that was made up mainly of brisket and pulled pork sandwiches along with a basket of ribs. We stayed simple and just had barbecue brisket sandwiches with a side of chips. The meat was very flavorful and mostly tender though a couple of pieces were a bit chewy. They'll likely iron out some of the kinks as they go. The key is the seasonings and flavor profile which they have a great start with. We wish them the best and will have to revisit once they're more firmly established.
