I order a pick up order. The food was ready at the time I requested and service was great. I…read moreordered the two meat combo and it did not disappoint. The amount of food was fantastic as I was able to save some for the next day. The brisket and sausage links were everything I was wanting when looking to find a BBQ place in Mystic.

Very nice and clean restaurant and the service was spectacular. I was very impressed with this…read morebarbecue restaurant. You don't often see real smokers in the back with pit masters smoking the meats. so here's my feedback. 1 out of 10 Portion size- 10 by far one of the best barbecue restaurants for portions. Ribs 5. Understand these ribs were cooked absolutely perfectly. Tender moist fantastic smoking ring. I'm only giving them a five because they had a slight cherry taste to them and this is a personal preference. I don't care for cherry in my pork. Brisket 7 I requested a cut from the point of the brisket and not the flat. I got the flat and it was borderline dry. However the flavor was spectacular. I think it may have just been in the warmer just a little too long. Sausage 3 again the sausage was smoked to perfection. But unfortunately, I could not taste any sausage at all only spice. The sausage needs to be the star of the show and the spice to be a compliment. Brisket mac & cheese- 9 nice size chunks of brisket in a nice creamy mac & cheese fantastic. Beans- 1 I'm sorry but the beans had zero smoke flavor and it kind of tasted like they came right out of the can. A good barbecue place like this I know they can do much much better with their beans. Corn bread - 10 the cornbread came with my meal and it was absolutely perfect. A nice little crust on the outside soft and moist on the inside unbelievably perfectly cooked. This is one absolutely fantastic restaurant and I was very, very impressed with the quality of smoked meat they are producing. This restaurant is employing true Pitt masters who know what the heck they're doing with their pits. It's nice to see a taste of Texas in Connecticut.

Finger-licking good--literally. The brisket and pulled pork…read morewere unreal, and the collard greens and mac & cheese were straight comfort food perfection. The brisket was my absolute favorite--so tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. When we arrived, the place was full, which honestly had me betting big that the food would live up to the hype--and it absolutely did. Even the other customers were friendly, and the staff was just as welcoming. My fiancé and I shared the two-meat platter, and thank goodness we did--it was more than enough food. We were stuffed and still had leftovers (which I'm very much looking forward to eating again). If we ever pass through this way again, I'll definitely be making him stop here. Can't wait to come back!

Well, stopped back again recently. The first visit was a two…read moremeat platter of ribs and brisket. Brisket was moist , tender, excellent... maybe a bit greasy but in a good way. Ribs very beefy and excellent. Mac and cheese needed stronger multi cheese blend, maybe a few toasted breadcrumbs on top ? Cucumber salad needed a pinch of sugar to sweeten up the vinegar . Corn bread ok , needs more flavor with real corn mixed in, lose the paper wrappers and bake in pans directly ... or change to a biscuit with honey butter . The owner was working the line first visit and things moving. Second visit : same points mentioned above, but this time smaller quantity of brisket and drier? The ribs smaller and drier ? 2 different food prep guys this time and noticed difference from visit day before? I did try one smoked wing this visit and wing wax excellent smoke tender wing. I think k things improved since the Worcester location closed? It still can be excellent food one time and an average or worse the next visit... inconsistent When the Brisket is on ... it is great stuff When it is off... dry underwhelming... They should make a brisket or burnt end hash as option ... Redbones bbq in Boston used to do a brisket hash that was excellent and unique .

Food was super tasty and exactly as described on menu. Portions and taste were reasonable for…read moreprice. I got the smash burger tacos, mixed greens side salad and the hummus and chips. I suppose I didn't really know what to expect with the burger tacos but was pleasantly impressed. The side salad was pretty standard but was very fresh. The hummus is a big sharing portion and the hummus wasn't like any other I've had. On top of everything the service was attentive, quick, and after every dish came out I was reassured the next one would follow promptly. The teamwork of the server, hostess and manager was very beyond appreciated. The setting / layout is convenient and well designed. Outside dining was closed (due to weather) but I imagine it's a great place to go in the summer to dine outside. I did not have any drinks but the drink menu was creative and seemed fairly priced

Five amazing women went for lunch today . It's a gem of a…read morespot with great creative menu for those who appreciate yummy food . Only wish they would open one closer to New London. We have been several times enjoying tables outside ~ today was chilly so we ate inside . Great friendly staff. We shared both the potato fries and squash ones too Outstanding batter on the squash and also the fish tacos . The pork belly or curried grits are delicious too . It's a wonderful place Just go and share the experience
