We had "the Alamo" so tried brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and had Mac and cheese and potato salad for our sides, and also got a half ring of smoked sausage. All of the meats were juicy and flavorful, and the sides were just how we liked them. Everything was so so good. Generous portions/great value for the money. Options for cooled indoor seating or picnic tables if you want to eat outside. This guy is a one man band so if there's a line you will have a little wait, but it is so worth it.

When visiting Saint Albans, VT we recommend trying the BBQ at Mill River Brewing BBQ & Smokehouse…read more The brewery has a great selection of IPA beers and cider drinks. We really enjoyed their BBQ brisket, marble cut with their cheddar mashed potatoes. It comes with a delicious cornbread muffin. We had a large party of 12 and they took $150 deposit to reserve the table just giving you an FYI. We had very good service and restaurant was nice and clean. They also have outdoor seating and another restaurant next door that's a pizzeria. Check it out when in the area! Happy Yelping :)

We previously lived in the town of Saint Albans for 16 years and this was always our local go to brewery to listen to live music and chat with our friends. It was previously a bowling alley and many of the wood was used in the brewery. 14th Star Brewing Co. is a veteran-owned craft brewery. Founded in 2012, they are known for brewing high-quality, community-driven Vermont beers and hosting food options like the Black Radish kitchen inside their taproom.

Patio looked completely empty and they weren't super busy. I didn't see signs suggesting there was an event so my guess is staffing issues? Service was great.

Their menu is loaded with all sorts of BBQ style food, as well as steaks and some seafood too. The décor is nice, cozy, and dimly lit. I started with their wings with the Ghost Pepper BBQ sauce on them - They were REALLY GOOD! Meaty wings, great crunch and smokey flavor and that BBQ sauce was so tasty! Next up was to try an order of their brisket nachos. They came out pretty quick and looked nice. They're definitely huge and I wasn't that hungry, so I really wanted to pick the good stuff, like the brisket and many of the toppings and that was all pretty good. The brisket I had was excellent! It had a nice bark and good smoke, yet was moist. Very nice experience, a place I'd definitely return to for another meal or even a drink at the bar!

In terms of food, I highly recommend the pulled pork, and would go back just for this. The brisket and turkey were surprisingly dry and a little tough. The Mac and cheese was okay, but a little bland. Maybe I expected more flavor from the cheese being in Vermont. The sausage links tasted great, but I got a few hard pieces inside which ruined it for me.
