How we got our start

Adam’s Rib Smokehouse originated as a catering service and concessions trailer operating at the Saturday Market and other festivals surrounding the Salem area in 1998. We started serving hotdogs and shaved ice and the following year introduced our smoked meats – Beef and Pork Ribs. We were such a success we found ourselves working every weekend at festivals, catering and even supplying ribs to local restaurants. In June of 2003 we opened our first restaurant on Market St. in Salem. We moved to our current location on State St. in March of 2005 and growing ever since we opened the doors. People just can’t get enough of that smoked meat flavor. We continue to expand our business to suit the needs of our patrons and look forward to a long-term relationship with our customers, friends and family.
