Maryland’s Secret BBQ Restaurant That’s An Incredible Hidden Treasure

BBQ restaurant The Hideaway proudly includes the slogan "Somewhere In Odenton" on their menu, a delightfully coy nod to their status as one of Maryland's true hidden gems. Odenton may seem unassuming at first glance, but with a bit of digging, you'll come across one of the best places for brisket, wings, BBQ, and live music that our state has to offer.

With the restaurant tucked away down a side street, you might miss the sign if you're not paying attention. But the food is so worth the adventure.

The bar is sleek and modern but has a comforting traditional feel, perfect for an inventive BBQ spot like this one.

The Hideaway, like any good BBQ place, takes pride in their whiskey collection. The Smoked Old Fashioned is a classic whiskey cocktail that pairs fabulously with any kind of BBQ dish.

There's a unique variety of different sauces to sample. Sweet and heat are the two lodestars of BBQ cooking, so be sure to try them all!

Believe it or not, the Brussels sprouts come as one of the highest-recommended sides on the menu. Be prepared to have your mind changed about these potent little greens.

Brisket and baked beans is a must-have if you're a BBQ fan. The Hideaway's brisket is the perfect dish to try out the sauces and comes with rave reviews.
