It came as a shock to some: 60 days’ notice for 603 Bar-B-Q to leave its space at Lithermans Limited Brewing Co. in Concord. The restaurant is known to draw consistent crowds for its smoked meats and signature sauces, making the sudden need to relocate a significant challenge. However, the popular eatery has successfully found a new permanent location within the city, ensuring its loyal customers will continue to have access to their favorite barbecue.

While details on the new address are forthcoming, the move signals a period of vibrant change for the local culinary landscape. In related developments, Shorey’s Grilled Cheese, another beloved local concept, is preparing to launch a dedicated food truck this season. This mobile venture will allow them to serve their celebrated comfort food at various events and locations throughout the region.

They are not alone in hitting the road. Several other established local kitchens are also finalizing plans to debut their own food trucks in the coming months. This trend toward mobile dining options highlights a growing entrepreneurial spirit within the community, offering residents more diverse and accessible dining experiences. The combination of a stabilized brick-and-mortar presence for a staple like 603 Bar-B-Q and the exciting expansion of food truck offerings paints an optimistic picture for Concord’s food scene, promising both continuity and delicious new opportunities.
