A hidden gem -- quite literally! They're a largely-outdoor venue on Junction Road and the tail end of Route 133, hiding near what was once a beautiful cornfield. Don't let that put you off. They're one of, if not the, best barbecue places in the area. Dare I say, it's what The Cookhouse wanted to be (save for the walls and proper ceiling). Twins has a somewhat limited menu, though it's in line with what you'd expect from barbecue-only places; that being said, if you can't find something you like, maybe you're the problem. We showed up and ordered the brisket sandwich, pulled pork mac and cheese, and split some sides. Both entrees were to die for. I'm not a cornbread fan, but it was one of the better ones. The coleslaw was coleslaw (New England style, of course). The macaroni salad was the sleeper hit, though! Combine them all with their various sauces and there's something for everyone. Having Tapville Social there was a nice touch. I only had time for one beer, if that, so I tried the house lager. It's a house lager, no complaints. Everything else on the menu sounded familiar or was too stouty for a fatty meal on a hot day. Twins has music and events, so I'll have to go to some before they do whatever this outdoor venue does in the winter. read more

Twins BBQ - Brisket Sandwich with pickled jalapeños. They forgot my pickled onions, but I don't feel like I missed anything. - Barbeque Near Me - Brookfield, Connecticut

Food was food. It's in the middle of a field don't let that throw you off. Owners were onsite and greeted folks

The food is great. I tried the pickle chips and I'll tell you, they were one of the best I've had. The staff are great and very helpful. It's nice that they have live music. read more

This is a very interesting and unique area with a BBQ area and a beer trailer. It is family run and truly amazing. Catering and entertainment is provided also. Well worth stopping by!!! read more

Excellent food,delivered on time thanks Twins BBQ I ordered Mac and cheese, collard greens and brisket chilli!

Really like the idea of this place and the owners are really nice, but the food is soooo dry...I've given it several chances and it's just not very good. Also be sure to ask for sauces bc I had assumed it would come with sauce or I'd be directed to where they were or offered choices, but that's not the case. read more

My fav is the beef brisket with pickles onions. The portion is generous and delish. I go back often due to its nearness to my office. Order ahead online and it is ready very quickly. I love this place read more

Cool spot for bbq. Love the set up. There's a couple of food trucks outside that you order from. One for food and the other for beer . Ribs were pretty good and brisket was ok. Definitely want to give this place another shot. Went on a windy chilly day in early spring and we were pretty much the only people there. Gotta try it again when the food is a little fresher read more

We ordered platters for our small family reunion to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Everything from looking them up online, reviewing the menu, ordering our platters, paying and pick up was smooth, transparent, secure and logical. They reviewed our order, made a very helpful suggestion which we accepted. Our items ordered, time for pickup and information on bbq sauces was settled. Lastly, the food portions in the platters were generous, moist/smoky meats, tasty salads, wonderful chili, Mac & cheese +++, smoky baked beans all delicious! We highly and enthusiastically recommend this organization to help make serving a small party great food! Julie & Ross M read more

A great little roadside BBQ food truck offering a complete menu of bbq classics to be consumed at one of the four picnic tables outside. Prep takes a little longer than it should, but it's worth the wait. The pulled pork and brisket are just fantastic with just enough burnt ends mixed in with the meat. What I really don't like and doesn't fit the mood of this county food truck however is the "pick you protein, pick your toppings" ordering process. Leave that nonsense to the chipotles or poke bowls joints of the world. It's not "protein", it's called "meat". Do you agree with me? Like this review. read more

Man I wanted this place to be great. The location is relatively convenient, I am a big barbecue guy and we love eating outdoors. Not the way I typically do a review, but here we go (sorry no photos to go with this today - will take next time) The Good: -Location: Federal Rd but beyond the busiest part. -Prices: while not cheap, very reasonable -Setting: Big open outdoor area. Lots of seating. Very brewery outdoors type of vibe with games for kids. VERY family friendly. Corn maize in the fall adjacent for additional fee. -Food: Brisket, Ribs and jalapeno cheddar sausage were very solid for northeastern BBQ -Drinks: Beer Truck adjacent with taps providing a solid selection. The Challenges: -Experience: staff stretched too thin. Kid who is taking orders (could not have been nicer/friendlier/more positive - as a former restaurant GM - kid is a rockstar) is leaving the register to run food. They didn't start giving out table numbers until about an hour after they opened so they could deliver food to the correct table -Speed of Food: This is the only barbecue spot I have been to that seems to be heating up the food as it is ordered. One of the beauties of barbecue is you can walk in and have your food immediately because they did the work the night before/overnight. The negative to that usually is when they are out - they are out. This seemed not to be the case here which made me question the cooking techniques being used. Food:Mac and cheese, fries, pulled chicken and pulled pork were dry and lacked in flavor. The sauces helped, but they don't have bottles for each table and watched them be moved around as if any table only needed them for a few moments. Drinks: the tap mobile is so cool but roping it off to have someone pour your drink for you as opposed to the unique vibe of getting to pour your own absolute limited the fun and interaction. Very few drinks were ordered while we were there and the ability to use the cards/touchscreen/pour and try your own would increase intrigue. The investment has already been made, why not use it! More on both of these lists, but I think I've gone far enough. There is enough to like about this place to give it another shot. Some of the food, the beer truck, their setting outdoors is all really solid. Willing to see if this was a tough day from an operations standpoint or just a place that needs to improve the front of house experience. Opportunities to earn more stars: -have correct menu posted for what is available -allow beer truck to use its full capabilities - sauces on all tables -Speed of service All in all - if you want a nice outdoor family friendly experience that is low maintenance this is a solid spot. If you're looking for a quality barbecue experience as an adult, Hoodoo and The Cue, while very different spots, are superior. read more

We hired Twins BBQ for our 50th anniversary party. From start to finish it was a wonderful stress free experience. The two servers were very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. Our guests raved about it. We would highly recommend them for your next party. read more

Cool events and live music to go along with great BBQ. Best corn bread I've ever had and I highly recommend getting the brisket. It's a short wait for food so I recommend playing the yard games after you eat! read more

I ordered on DoorDash from BBQ Ribs Co however when I looked at the same address on Google it came up as Twins BBQ. So Im thinking BBQ ribs maybe their ghost kitchen? This was an affordable meal for BBQ. My husband got the brisket chilli which was excellent! Im not a fan of beans but the way this chilli was seasoned it tasted good. He was not that hungry so he opted for three ribs which was moist and flavorful. My meal was smoked brisket which I could have a variety of ways (rice, nachos, roll etc) I chose rice and there was a variety of toppings options. I chose pickles and cheese sauce. I did not receive cheese sauce it was just shredded cheese thrown in and not melted. Granted we literally ordered at the last possible minute so I understand they may have been ready to end their work day I dont always like potato salad everywhere but this was a good one. Next time will catch Twins BBQ / BBQ Rib Co earlier. read more

See all

I've had takeout from here a couple of times recently. The setup seems to be a trailer where the business is conducted parked next to a smallish building. I tried the pulled pork and the pulled chicken. Both were pretty good, nothing legendary but good. They have a good variety of BBQ sauces including a vinegar based one that I prefer. Parking is abundant and the staff is very friendly and mostly helpful. Prices are not cheap but not crazy either. read more

Thank you for hosting my sons birthday Everyone loved the food beer and staff was excellent We will be back!!! read more

As a novice bbq guy I expected much better although it wasn't "bad", just not great. I'm used to getting my bbq from places that run out due to items being made fresh daily, especially for the price. The brisket was supposed to be served over rice with jalapeños and coleslaw but they forgot to put the coleslaw on. The brisket was clearly either re-heated or overdone (a lot firmer than it should be & some chunks were cold) although the flavor was good. I grabbed a side of fries as well. The fries were fresh and crispy, cooked to perfection, even better with some Carolina Vintech vinegar sauce drizzled on top. I'll be back for a second try but won't be rushing. read more

Twins BBQ - Brisket over rice with sour cream (?), pickled jalapeños and a sweet & savory bbq sauce. - Barbeque Near Me - Brookfield, Connecticut

Did a private party with the Twins BBQ and their Rolling Bar truck! Wow! it was everything I needed. Had to put together a fine gathering at a location that did not have a usable kitchen. This double rig set-up was a turn-Key solution to a remote site. They have a liquor License, and cool craft beers (11) to select. Food was an easy mix and match menu which gave every one who attended something to like. On top a fare price. Made my life easy. read more

When your friend brings you chili in this cold weather you call it perfect timing! This chili is one of the best ones I have ever tasted. This family business for BBQ dishes does not get the credit they really deserve. Supporting small businesses in your area makes a huge difference. The chili was full of flavor with actually pieces of brisket chunks that melt in your mouth. Made with real diced tomatoes and navy beans, some spicy taste, just makes that explosion in your mouth. Delicious! A must try when in Brookfield. read more

Twins BBQ - Brisket Chili - Barbeque Near Me - Brookfield, Connecticut

A wonderful local business with high quality and fresh barbecue. The service was excellent; they were very fast. Even the sides were really good! They were classic but had unique flavors. All outdoor seating but even in the winter it's an easy grab and go. read more

Went to housatonic brewing to have drewbq but they were a no show and tried this one. So yucky! Got the "super nachos" no beans and it really was just stale tostitos with movie theatre cheese and some dry pork with no sauce or anything and the "super nachos" had nothing else on them. Not super at all and it was cold!! read more

Twins BBQ - So yucky - Barbeque Near Me - Brookfield, Connecticut

Awesome little spot! Can't get any decent bbq near by, so I think it's in a great location. Stopped here for a quick bite to eat and did not disappoint! Brisket quesadilla was bomb, pulled pork was super tender. Definitely looking forward to coming back when the weather is warmer to enjoy other menu items along with the beer/wine truck. Thumbs up to the owner and staff! Will definitely be returning :) read more

Eh..the sandwich wasn't bad but it was NOT a cheap meal for two. It's a food truck, so you kinda expect to shell out a bit more, like when you're at an outdoor concert. But in this case, you're in a field in the middle of Brookfield...not at a Derek Trucks or Dinosaur Jr concert. Lower your prices!! read more

I'll start this review by saying I love BBQ. I also have zero issue with food trucks. However, my impression of Twins BBQ was that it is a semi-permenant location. It's really just a food truck in a gravel parking lot. Definitely not a strong venue for a place I want to eat. The food: I had the brisket and a slice of cornbread. Both we solid 1 star. The cornbread was just awful, there's really nothing I've had quite like it. The consistency was nothing like any corn bread I've ever had. Sort of like paste. The taste reminded me of children's aspirin. It is nothing close to corn bread I've eaten in a well run BBQ place or food truck. The brisket. I saw the lady that was cooking (most likely the owner) drop the brisket into a microwave. When a BBQ place drops ANY food in a microwave, it's garbage. Walk away. And this is no different. The brisket had a smokey taste and the consistency of a tire off a Tonka truck. I took three bites and came to the conclusion that I am glad I tried this place by myself as my family would have been far less charitable to both me and the food. I tried the brisket topped with Cole slaw (also on the order) and it was tonka tire with day-old slaw on top. Straight in the garbage for $18.00. I'm giving it two stars as I really want to see a place like this to succeed. But if they want to survive, they will need to up their game substantially. Where did the other Yelpers eat 5 star BBQ from this place? Start with removing the microwave, stay fresh..... read more

Twins BBQ catered my son's graduation party for 100 people in Hamden CT. The food (which was brought/cooked on a truck) was absolutely delicious, everything! The pulled pork and chicken were outstanding. The sauces were amazing. The mac & cheese was so cheesy and heavenly. The coleslaw was creamy, crunchy, slightly sweet yet had a zing of tartness. The staff were top notch and kept the food flowing. We also hired Twins Mobile Taproom room which was a huge hit! With 12 craft beers, 2 white wines and 2 red wines. They also had a local cider which was so good. I would highly recommend Twins BBQ! This event for 100 people went very smoothly with no complications thanks to Mike who owns Twins BBQ. There's nothin better than smoking hot twins! read more

Twins BBQ - Mobile Taproom - Barbeque Near Me - Brookfield, Connecticut

We ordered from Twins BBQ last weekend (I ordered from them based on reviews), for a large party at our place and I would use them again in a heartbeat. The food was phenomenal, everyone asked where we got it from - everyone. The portions were sizable, sometimes with catering things are.. skimpy, but not with Twins. The food was plentiful and so damn good. Everything was ready to go at pick up too, packed beautifully. We'll be repeat customers for sure, I highly recommend them for catering! read more

Went to the Lyndhurst Spring craft fair. After about 2 hours of cruising the food & craft booths we decide to take a lunch break. Looked at a couple of food trucks & decided on Twins BBQ Co. The menu looked appealing. They did have a Cuban sandwich - can't be all that bad, right? We ordered 2 Cuban sandwiches on a roll and pulled Chicken bowl over rice with slaw & broccoli rabe (+$1). We waited with great anticipation for the Cuban sandwich. The order arrived opened it up & there you have 2 Cuban sandwiches on a mushy cold hamburger roll. There was some very dry bbq meat, a slice of ham, a slice of Swiss cheese, two slices of pickles & some mustard. This ham sandwich was $12. I looked back at the menu again & noticed the it was a Cuban - esque sandwich. Did not notice the esque part. What a ripoff! The Chicken over rice was no better, flavorless, slaw flavorless. There was one (1) stalk of overcooked stringy broccoli rabe, that was and additional $1 for rabe - forget about it. Nyet, nin, no absolutely not worth it. read more

Probably the best barbecue around this place has never let me down across-the-board some of the finest barbecue and service . It is what it is and it's really good. read more

Prices were ok but food was not very good. I had off their truck at an event and don't think I'd give them another try. With a limited menu and a little care, I see no reason they couldn't deliver a nice meal, hard to imagine why they served what I got as it just wasn't cooked very well. Rice hard, brisket dry... come on guys !! read more

Enjoyed an absolutely delicious prime brisket burger while I was picking up some smoked wings for Christmas lunch. The burger was huge, juicy, perfectly seasoned and delicious on a pillowy bun. I had to sneak one of the wings early and they are similarly great ! read more

I really wanted them to be good, but it wasn't. I am always looking for a new BBQ joint and I am sorely disappointed. The good: ribs were smoked and had god texture but that is about it. The bad: ribs were reheated in a microwave before being served, ribs served with sauce on the, and it was slightly bitter vinegar, there was little to no rub or seasoning on the ribs, appeared to be smoked with nothing on it. The greens were also very bland, basically just whole leaves steamed - normally they are chopped, with some vinegar, molasses and seasoning but not here. Hopefully they will put rub on the ribs before smoking and add some flavor to the greens. read more

Holy cow!...and pig and chicken etc! Thus stuff is the real deal! Catered one Grad paarty and I am ready to book the second! Not just the food, but the setup, breakdown and organization was perfect! read more

My husband got his dinner for tonight consisting of a 1/3 lb brisket sandwich. It definitely was not 1/3 lb of brisket, it was much less. The bun was a lot thicker than the meat. He didn't want to review because he dislikes being negative, but I thought that for the cost the sandwich could have been a lot better. read more

Twins BBQ is AS GOOD AS IT GETS! If you're a lover of BBQ food, you're going to love Twins BBQ! They are my go-to for quick lunches or date nights. Their pulled pork and brisket is out of this world- super tender and juicy! The owners are the sweetest and so down to earth. Did I mention that they cater as well? We love Twins BBQ! read more

I pass this pretty regularly and finally stopped for lunch. I was a little worried by some earlier reviews. I'm from Texas where brisket is king and this didn't disappoint. Had the brisket on a huge sandwich with pickles and coleslaw and sauce. It was great. It is pricey for lunch but a good splurge. read more

I have tried to order there burger three time. they are always out! I leave 25 minutes from there three wasted trips! three strikes and your out!!! read more

They had their food truck at a music festival, and I have to say it was absolutely disgusting. Chicken was cold and made without any care for quality. Would never recommend them for any event or festival. read more

Hands down...BEST BBQ in the state!! We spotted this van from afar and had to try it! So glad we saw it because we were not disappointed!! My husband ordered the pulled pork. It was super tasty with just the right amount of seasoning. I ordered the brisket and it was incredible! Best brisket ever!!! We loved it so much, that we went right back for another brisket to share!! Be sure to try Twins BBQ...you will love it and you will not be disappointed!! read more

Eh! Overpriced, dry and very average taste. Dont go out of your way as there is much better bbq out there than Twins.

Finger licking good bbq!!! My family and I love finding Twins around town because we can't get enough. I personally love their brisket, I have spoken with the owner and they said you can't even get that kind of meat anywhere on the east coast! Awesome owners, awesome food! read more
