Sneak Peek: Salvage BBQ

Here are some behind-the-scenes photos of the new restaurant named Salvage BBQ. It is located at 919 Congress Street, in a cool old building that was once home to  Portland Architectural Salvage. Salvage BBQ is brought to you by the good folks behind the well-respected Local 188 and Sonny's

A recent article in the Munjoy Hill News blog indicates that Salvage BBQ could be open as early as next week. I look forward to getting back for some photos once everything is up and running.

  1. I see this is very near the Maine Medical Center. There's a Famous Dave's BBQ chain restaurant in Scarborough, which I enjoyed on a 2011 visit. Hopefully, this place will be just as good. :)

  6. The original building was built for Railway Express Company. They were a private rail shipper, and built near the old Union Station to take advantage of the rail service.
