Even was able to buy some of their barbecue sauce and rub that they sell pre-bottled at the counter. It's also worth mentioning that these ribs are not your normal size ribs, in most cases I would say a half rack would fill one person. Definitely give this place a try whenever you're in the New Haven area.

Great meaty ribs and sides! We had mac and cheese, and sweet potato fries! Enjoyed it!read more

Stopped in just after 11am this morning. Wanted to order a 1/2 rack of Spare Ribs & a 1/2# of…read moreBrisket, but the Spare Ribs were not available at that time. So I did get the Brisket, and I also decided on a 1/2# of the Pulled Pork instead of the Ribs. I was underwhelmed with the Brisket, it was dry. Went back inside for some vinegar based sauce, the gentleman provided me some in a small cup. Although the sauce certainly did help flavor the Brisket, it was extremely spicy. BBQ, IMO, should not be spicy. The Pulled Pork was very good though, fresh & flavorful. I suspect that the Brisket was old, from yesterday, based on the lack of flavor compared to the fresh Pulled Pork (and that I had walked in just after Royster's had opened for business this morning). The Pitmaster knows what he is doing, he was just trying to cut corners. I've had plenty of BBQ when I lived in the South, the Pulled Pork was a good as any I had when I lived down there. There shouldn't be that much disparity between the quality of the meats. Disappointing, because it's hard to find real Q North of Mason-Dixon line. Inconsistent makes me ponder on whether I want to come back again a 2nd time. Maybe, maybe not. Now I'm indecisive, not good. So for now, I have to give Royster's BBQ Company in Cheshire a weak 3 Star rating. If I'm in the area and get a chance to drop in again, I'll post an update.

The service was great (our server was Bri) and the food was delicious. Bri was very attentive and provided us with excellent service.

Note that if it's your birthday, you can show your ID and get a free meal.

Very neat experience would I go back maybe but probably not…read more The staff is amazing and super hands on. I have a shrimp allergy and they were super cautious which was helpful. The menu is all you can eat. You order on an iPad and they just keep bringing the meats to bbq or to add to your soup for cooking Meats were flavored nicely and so were the soup bases we chose! It was pretty crowded and loud and you definitely get a facial with all the steam. A diner brought in a cat and wasn't asked to leave which I felt was super uncomfortable as I have an allergy and it's not an outside eatery that allows pets The salad bar and condiment bar could have been cleaner and more options for dessert offered. It's pretty pricey They take credit cards and have plenty of parking

So my daughter's bf knowing my 82 yo momma loves kpop and watching Korean dramas suggested we go…read moretogether with her. I had never done kpot or kpot bbq, but he and my daughter had. We are lucky they were there to guide us bc this place did not explain very much. We 5 were seated at a six pot booth with the grill in the center. If one person in your party wants to do bbq there is the $5 up charge for everyone so $40pp for food is your starting point. I asked for a margarita and they asked what liquor to put in, I said tequila lol....(it was a drink on the drink menu) they give you an iPad and as soon as you order your soup base the server will turn on the iPad and your 2 hr time limit starts so know what you're going to start with to order bf having her turn on the iPad which is where you will order all food going in your pots or on the grill. There is a spray on the table for the grill (another thing not mentioned) also you can help yourself to the sides bar, and order sides like French fries (which my daughter did) and it's included, there's also hoodsie cups of ice cream past the bar (they also don't mention this) silverware is available near the sides bar (also not mentioned) the seats at our six seater were in really bad shape but the rest of the lighting and bar decor is on the fancier shiny disco like side. Our waitress was very nice and changed the grill out for us. Since my mom doesn't eat much, and my husbands a vegetarian (which they did have tofu options) they really did not eat $40 of food but they enjoyed the experience. My daughter and her bf got their moneys worth in all the meats they cooked and ate. My husband and I are a one and done on this but I think my twenty something's would return for sure.

This was my first visit here. The staff was friendly and attentive…read more The food however was lacking. I ordered the baby back ribs with sides of corn bread and French fries. Ribs: not meaty at all what was there was not tender. The sauce was fine. Fries: I was told they cut the fries fresh themselves. That's believable however I don't think they were cooked to order. A bit soggy. Corn bread: was more like corn cake. I like cornbread with some texture. My friend had the ribs too with sides of corn and Cole slaw. Apparently those sides were pretty good. Four stars for the staff and two stars for the food.

I recently visited The Rib House in East Haven and had a bit of a mixed experience…read more First, I want to say that our server Jessica was very pleasant and attentive, and the service overall was great. The drinks were also pretty good. I'd give them about an 8 out of 10, so no complaints there. Where things became frustrating was with the Build Your Own burger pricing. The base burger (1/2 lb charbroiled beef) was $14.95, which seemed reasonable at first. However, I was surprised to see how quickly the price climbed once a few basic toppings were added. Here's how the burger ended up breaking down: Base burger: $14.95 Bacon: $6.00 Fried egg: $4.00 American cheese: $1.95 Mayo: $1.00 That brought the burger to $27.90 before tax, which is nearly double the base price for what most people would consider a fairly standard bacon, egg, and cheese burger. I understand charging for add-ons, but $6 for bacon and $4 for a fried egg feels excessive, and it was surprising to see the cost climb that high so quickly. Overall, the service was great and the drinks were solid, but the burger pricing left me pretty disappointed. It is safe to say that if I were to return to this restaurant, I would not be selecting a burger again.
