    Brisket sandwich
    Pua A.

    Great tasting food and friendly staff. I got the brisket sandwich which was good but a little messy to eat. Great smoky flavor and very tender.

    Ate here twice it was super close to the Amtrak station. Portions were huge and everything was tasty - we all shared a bunch of meats (brisket, chicken, ribs) plus a whole array of sides. We even got their delicious nachos to go for the train ride.

    Pork belly burnt ends

    When you think of barbecue, Mystic, CT probably doesn't jump to the front of your mind. Likewise- when you think of Mystic, CT, barbecue certainly doesn't come to mind either. But alas, Noble Smokehouse is changing that for me. Tucked away on the Stonington side of the river, outside of the hustle and bustle, Noble has quickly become my go-to option if I find myself in that neck of the woods. If you know Mystic, you know that it can be a whole ~thing~ to go there for a meal. Noble, however, is in the perfect spot if you don't feel like dealing with the chaos. Do they have a water view? No, but that's not what you're coming here for. Every time I've gone, I've been able to find parking easily, I've never had to wait for a seat, and every meal I've eaten here has knocked my socks off. My fast favorite is the hot pastrami sandwich. Hands down the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. The pork belly burnt ends are also can't miss. They have a good selection of local beer to go with your meal, and the service is always very friendly and prompt. Rumor has it they are opening a place in downtown New London, which I am very excited for. Until then, I will gladly make the trek to Mystic for a meal here. It's well worth it!

    Had been craving BBQ and this place hit the spot. Very friendly server and food was amazing. They have a really good variety of sauces to choose from. There's a small outdoor seating area that is dog friendly.

    Awesome reliable spot for some good BBQ. I got the chicken quesadillas, the platter with a choice of 2 meats (brisket, ribs), 2 sides (baked potato, brisket mac n cheese), and 2 sauces (maple, chilli), and the pork belly burnt ends. The chicken quesadillas were great, plethora of chicken and cheese, topped with chopped green onion. The taste leans into its American pallet (think burgers, fourth of July realness, less Mexican) and manages to do it well without tasting lazy. I'd recommend this if you're not necessarily looking for authenticity, but more for a good, flavorful and hearty lunch. The pork belly burnt ends were quite disappointing. While I realize the name had "burnt ends", I didn't realize they would cook it to the point where the meat had an essentially rubbery texture, yet somehow gaining hardness in some areas where it attacks your gums. The flavor was the saving grace, very savory, and some leftover fat on the meat counteracts the dryness of the overall dish. If you're into the texture, I recommend pairing it with the chili sauce they offer on their menu, but note that the sauce is quite spicy. The platter was the main event of the whole thing. The brisket was nice and tender, yet not soggy. The sauce on top was classic BBQ, but will pair well with other sauces if need-be. The ribs were delicious, falling off the bone delicately, followed by a deep, rich flavor that only comes with a minimum length of time in cooking. The brisket mac and cheese was not heavy, but skims mildly on the cheese, relying more on the brisket for taste. Service was very polite, and the food arrived within 25 minutes, with absolutely no rush to order. The place had a very by-the-beach vibes in decoration, complimented with large, surrounding windows, with quiet old country music in the background.

Perfect spot to bring your family if you want more than just a sit down place to eat. I'd come mainly for the vibes LOL We ordered a lot for our party of 6 (+1 toddler), so dishes were bound to be a hit or miss. Our server was very patient with us as we decided on our order. Big fan of the seafood dishes here, so I'd recommend the FISH & CHIPS, ROASTED COD and CALAMARI. Could've done without the DOGWATCH PASTA and BURNT ENDS, which I found a bit bland and dry respectively. The MAC ATTACK, on the other hand, was a terrific pasta option and I personally was a big fan of it. If you're looking for more protein dense options, I'd recommend the RIBS and LOADED NACHOS. This was probs the most loaded I've ever seen an order of nachos at any restaurant. They also have a pretty extensive kids menu, making this spot very ideal for kids and families. We ended up bringing the leftovers back, because portion sizes were huge.

I have to say I love how easy we can reserve tables online. The staff always works with you to accommodate your seating preferences and are always pleasant. We get the usuals and always try something new. Our something new was the Chicken spring roll. Taste wise was good, the sauce definitely made a big difference as we thought it was a bit dry but great overall. I picked Kale salad and was super happy with my choice. The kale was chopped which I loved, it had Golden Raisins, Macadamia Nuts, lots of Shaved Pecorino Romano cheese and the best thing, the Cranberry Citrus Vinaigrette (yum). And last, Dogwatch Seared Tuna. Holy cow was it great. The quality of the tuna as always perfection. Tasted better than any we've ever had and panko crust was a perfect added bonus. As always.. no disappointment here. I just hope they stay here forever.

Thomas' Smokey Pit Stop BBQ is a solid 4 Star rating, IMO, and that's coming from a guy who consumed a lot of Q in northern Alabama when he lived down there.

I felt like it took away from what the experience should have been for $50 dollars worth of food. I got the ribs, brisket, mac and cheese, broccoli salad and the smoked wings. Ribs were top tier and I wish I just got a half rack of them as the brisket was dry and flavorless. Had to have it smothered in the BBQ sauce to have it taste like anything. The sauce was amazing but good meat shouldn't need a ton of sauce. Mac and Cheese was so bland we needed to add salt to it. Smoked chicken wings were above average but nothing I would be running back for and didn't have a strong smoky flavor. There are better options out there for a kick as wing. For the price, I was expecting to have my socks blown off and that did not happen. Better smokehouse places in CT that knock it out of the park with flavorful sides and meats.
