The owners of Talbot Smokehouse, located in historic downtown Trappe, have expanded with the opening today of Smokehouse Market, a specialty shop selling items from the restaurant’s menu ”to go” as well as branded merchandise.
Talbot Smokehouse, an eclectic barbeque restaurant, was opened late last year by the Pascal Family Group in partnership with Roland Enterprises, after they purchased the site of the former Mitchum’s Steak House. The site included the building the restaurant now occupies as well as two adjacent buildings, one of which has been turned into Smokehouse Market.
“We saw the potential of this property from day one. But we were waiting to see how Talbot Smokehouse would be received to determine what to do with the vacant space,” said Robert A. W. Pascal, who owns the Pascal Family Group with his wife, Caroline. “The response to our menu has been so positive that opening a market focused on selling some of more popular items ‘to go’ was the next logical step.”
Smokehouse Market, open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., will carry signature specialties from the restaurant such as smoked brisket, turkey and Old Bay links, sandwiches, and a variety of cold salads and sides well as house-made barbeque sauce, Talbot Smokehouse branded merchandise, wine, beer and more.
The menu at Talbot Smokehouse features barbeque classics such as smoked short ribs served with pearl onions, braised kale and aged cheddar grits; smoked BBQ chicken accompanied by hoppin’ John, broccoli slaw and new potatoes; and grilled salmon presented with a smoked onion puree, root vegetables, spinach and crispy leeks. The restaurant is open for dinner, Tuesday through Sunday. An additional bar menu is offered beginning at noon on Saturday and Sunday.
