For many diners, the appeal of BBQ lies in the side dishes. As much as we love ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and other BBQ staples, it’s the side dishes that really elevate the experience. When you visit our restaurant in Salem, NH, you’ll have plenty of options for side dishes. Honestly, we understand if you have a hard time choosing which one to get. To help you narrow down your options, we’re highlighting a few of our favorites.
Visit our restaurant in Salem, NH, for an unforgettable BBQ experience. Here are a few of our favorite sides on the Border Brewery menu.
Coleslaw
It’s a BBQ classic for a reason. The tangy dressing creates a perfect contrast to rich, smoky meat, offering a satisfying crunch alongside melt-in-your-mouth brisket or pulled pork. Crisp cabbage and other vegetables provide a refreshing palate cleanse so you can enjoy the full flavor of every bite of your favorite BBQ. Coleslaw can serve as a condiment and a side, perfect for piling atop a sandwich. It’s the traditional side to go with Southern-style BBQ, so we recommend trying it with pulled pork or brisket.
Street Corn
Another classic, vegetable-based side dish, street corn, also offers a refreshing accompaniment to the rich, robust flavors of BBQ. Street corn is more of a complement than a contrast. Charred on a grill and topped with a creamy sauce, it goes perfectly with grilled meats. It’s a summertime favorite, and our top choice for pairing with ribs, street tacos, or chicken wings.
Cornbread Waffle
If there’s a must-have with any BBQ, it might be cornbread. The robust texture and slightly sweet flavor balance rich, smoky meats and tangy sauces. If you need something to soak up dripping or grab the last few drops of sauce, cornbread is the perfect choice. At Border Brewery, we do things a little differently by turning our cornbread into waffles. You still get the same delicious flavor, but the outside is pleasantly crispy. Also, its flat shape makes it the ideal base for your BBQ. If you drop anything while you’re eating, your cornbread waffle will catch it, and then your meal gets a delicious sequel.
