    Half a rack of ribs. 6 meaty ribs.
    Darrell L.

    Surprise! One of the best places to get great BBQ in town across from Bibens in a food trailer. I'd rate in in the top 3 places to eat in Springfield. Prices are fair, portions are generous. I had to struggle to eat all my half rack of 6 meaty ribs. Good thing they were out of their delish baked beans. The ribs were cooked to perfect tion. Smoky, sweet, garlicky and tender, not over or under cooked. They smoke their meats on premises. The only negative I find is their days and hours are not enough. They have lots more items, but I go for the ribs... I think they are the only place in town for ribs and they do a great job with them.

    As a reviewer looking for all the magical BBQ joints in New England I was a little skeptical about this place. The concept sounded weird to me because it comes off as a BBQ food truck but at the same time it's offerings seem more like a state fair style. Like 3 or 4 of their popular menu items are BBQ stuff over a bed of french fries. Which is fine by me, sounds great, but it doesn't shout "We know about real BBQ". Also the first time I looked at the menu I didn't see Brisket or Ribs but maybe I missed it because they do have them, or at least they have them now. Tried the Ribs, they are small and not a lot of meat and smoked to that point that the bone is almost edible. And they are completely covered in sauce, I'm talking straight up Dipped in sauce. Sauce was Okay but it reminded me more of like a sweet and tangy sauce, not really a BBQ sauce. And the flavor of the meat almost reminded me of burnt rubber or plastic. Very different style of ribs, I didn't like the quality I got but I do think I may have went on a bad day. Brisket isn't listed on the menu as a regular thing, you get it over french fries. I asked for just the brisket and this is a weird thing to review. They gave me some heavy cuts of that brisket and there is no way they would serve these big slabs of meat on top of french fries so I'm sure I'm tasting something most people don't get to taste. I'm sure they chop it up a bit before going over some fries or something. Just as brisket this stuff was juicy and cooked well. Only thing is the flavor, the smoked flavor just tasted like a mild burnt ash. But the texture was spot on. Partner got a cheeseburger and it was pretty damn good. Juicy and tender and full of flavor. Bun was toasted nicely, fresh lettuce and tomato. Came with their fries and I got to see what all the fuss was about with their fries. Those things are exactly what I would expect at a good state fare with gravy and meat all over them. Awesome fries! Got a little thing of coleslaw and I swear this was nothing but dressing and some chopped cabbage floating in it. Not the worst tasting I have ever had but absolutely the worst presentation. I know it's kind of dumb of me to be criticizing the least popular item on the menu but this was an crazy how effortless this slaw was. I'm judging this place based on it's potential of an actual BBQ joint. And I don't get the sandwiches as most people do. I would say as a real BBQ joint I wouldn't recommend, BUT! As a great place with good lunch and quick comfort food options this place is great! Just stay away from all this stuff I got. Sandwiches and meat over french fries and burgers will be good to you.

    Springfield VT, Great Spot off of I-91!

    Great food. Wonderful barbecue, but definitely a strange location. They're always busy, which is a good sign! And fast!

    Pork Quesadilla are worth the $8 for sure! I wish they had longer hours, usually open for lunch. If the smokers going, your in business

    The brisket on the Sarah special was so soft and melted in your mouth.

It is off the major highway and on a local roadway. The food here is surprisingly good. I would strongly recommend trying a few of the different dishes they make here. This by far was one of the best barbecue restaurants where you could sit outdoors and enjoy the food. The service was quick and easy. The smiles on their faces were warm and welcoming. Go out of your way and find this place! I highly recommend it and I look forward to coming back here again and again and again!

I chose Brisket and Ribs, the only issue was they were out of Brisket so the women offered a different type of Brisket. I went with double fries as my side because I love Fries. The Ribs were delicious and well seasoned to my taste the Brisket was ok but that's because my heart was set on something else. The French fries were on point. I'm not much of a cornbread fan but my family said it was great. Love eating outside-ish. The sauces were all delicious and would have loved to bring some home. I thought it was a tad pricey for what it was but that being said I will likely return on another trip before Sunday hoping they won't be out of Brisket
