My wife, 2 year old, and I had a fabulous early dinner this past Saturday. The great: The waitstaff was very accommodating, the ambiance was fun, the BBQ smoky smell as you walk in is enticing, the outdoor fire pit is great, the portions are wonderful. The pulled pork was moist and tasty. The ok: some of the dishes were a bit bland. There are sauces which help and are delicious. The menu could use an overhaul and add some herbs and spices to dishes (ribs, fried okra, mac and cheese, coleslaw). An example of a great dish was the fried pickle, where dill is added to the batter - very cool. Giving 5 stars because I want this place to succeed. Thanks for a lovely meal. read more

We had s great experience. The food is excellent. Our waitress Jennie is awesome. She really knows the menu and is so friendly. Great smile and made us feel so welcome. THANKS JENNIE! We will be back. read more

Pretty vile stuff, I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich. The chicken was incredibly dry as if prepared hours earlier. This place frequently neglects to provide requested sauces, I'll discourage my compatriots from ordering here again. read more

The interior is great and the Ribs were spot on...our service was also really friendly and perfectly good. Gotta say though the brisket (in my view, the ultimate test of a BBQ place) was really dry and tough..they gotta go back to the drawing board on that one. The other meats (we got the sampler) were average to below average. I'm amazed anyone would describe this as "amazing bbq." I want to come back to this place a ton as I recently moved to the area but they gotta pick it up a notch! Let's go Wire Mill! Fine tune those recipes! read more

Missed the mark. Nice little spot, décor is appropriate, staff were nice, but the food we sampled was dry. The ribs were not moist, the brisket was horribly dry, and the chicken wings were bad enough for us to leave the last few sitting in the basket. It just wasn't classic slow cooked barbeque that should melt as you eat it. From the first bite I realized what had great potential was a greater disappointment. It was a slow day and I am almost suspicious, the meat was that dry, that it was something prepared the day before. Contacted by owner about this post and asked if we were there on a day he took off. Perhaps not by coincidence it was. But that, and his apology, didn't help reverse a very poor experience. So I guess he is telling us to avoid eating there on the few days he's not preparing the food? Hoo Doos in Ridgefield kicks butt . I'll get my first coronary there . read more

The staff was overwhelmed even though it wasn't that busy. My wife and I both ordered the pulled pork which had more fat on it than I have ever seen at a restaurant (I go to a lot of bbq). They did have a good homemade vinegar based bbq sauce, other than that nothing worth coming back for. They even ran out of ice and everyone there had lukewarm drinks. read more

I have never been so rudely treated in a restaurant before as I was here. After waiting for a half hour in the rain on their patio, our name was up on the waitlist and the hostess told us she could not seat us in the booth available because there was only 3 of us in our party. All that said to me was they only want to seat bigger parties to make more money. I'll never go there again even though I live 2 minutes from there. VERY rude, VERY unprofessional. read more

Great BBQ, must have daily specials and a casual hometown environment - great beer selections and excellent friendly service. Will definitely return! read more

Always looking for a new rib joint. The Wire Mill popped up on the radar. Be prepared to wait, the place is small with limited seating. In my opinion the ribs were waaaay over smoked, no amount of house BBQ sauce helped. I'm no expert, my baby back rack of ribs resembled nothing I have ever eaten. Not sure what the cut was or maybe it was not baby backs. The taste and specific flavor might be fine for some but not this rib connoisseur. read more

Too much smoke and too dry ! the chicken skin was like leather. The Ribs were ok. They gave us 2 bbq sauces, one was spicy , one was not but they were not labeled. Disappointed :( read more

The food is good, but the service is horrible. Have ordered take out a number of times. Not only is it never ready when we arrive at the designated time, but they always seem surprised that we ordered at all. The order is always missing something. Usually it's the sauce, but tonight it was the mac and cheese. When we called to complain we were told they would call us tomorrow. We love supporting local businesses, but our patience is running very thin. read more

Love this place! The chili, monster and the smoked pastrami special are ridiculous!! The owner is great always greets you and see how your doing. And Marina is the best!!! read more

I'd like to give them a three star, but I just can't yet. I think the place has promise, but here is what needs to be worked on. - Price at lunch. I stopped by for a quick sandwich at noonish. I think a lunch pulled port sandwich should be 8 or 9.95, not 11.95. For 11.95 I should have gotten fries or salad, not soggy chips. - Sides: My wife would love the coleslaw because it has no taste. She hates spices. if you like ANY sort of zing, don't bother. These are just cut up vegetables. And the chips? Meh. Why do restaurateurs always try to do something clever with chips. Ruffles out of the bag would have been tastier. - Water: Ok, this may seem odd, but their water is GROSS. Must be pulling it out of the river. In all my years of dining out, this is the first time I sent the water back!!! The second glass was marginally better. Perhaps this is a gambit to sell beer. I had ordered a beer anyway, so I was ok. - Pork. I think it was pretty good. A tad dry, but a nice sandwich! - Service. A little slow if you are sitting outside. Granted it was a mid-week lunch, but the place was quiet. Should not have take so long to get drinks and food. Remember, most people grabbing a lunch mid week have to get back to something!! - Staff. Friendly enough and reasonably helpful. I will be back, and hope to be able to update this review. Eat outside on a nice day, and you get the occasional whiff of smoke from the cooking in the back, nice! read more

Food was just ok. Not the greatest BBQ. When it came time to order dessert, a blondie with ice cream -- asked the waitress if it had nuts. She was not sure so she went back to ask in the kitchen and they didn't know. That I find very unusual. How can a restaurant not know if their food contains nuts? The atmosphere is good, our waitress (Justine) was very sweet and informative. Noticed that the hostess kept asking our waitress if we were leaving soon, that is extremely unprofessional. Oh, the blondie DID NOT have nuts :) read more

A great renovation, pleasant atmosphere/location and a sincerely hard-working, wanting-to-please BBQ joint and staff. You can eat inside or out. With concrete floors and metal walls, it's quite noisy inside, but what new place isn't these days? The quality, taste of the meats and sides was uneven, unfortunately few were memorable. Most in our group commented that the meat was a bit overcooked and often dry to the taste. Okra was good, cornbread should not be served with current recipe. Once again, like many CT BBQs you just know they are trying hard to cook it right and slow, but it just misses the mark. Could it be the humidity? The type of wood? Time & temperature of cooker? Meat source? Can't say. Overall, mediocre food, nice atmosphere and cold beer. Pass on the "imported" desserts, go around the corner to Heibeck's Ice Cream stand on RT 7 for a 1950/60s time warp experience. After second visit, they finally hired professional wait staff, the college kids that caused chaos in the dining room probably went back to finish their liberal arts degrees. Hopefully, they won't be back next summer. read more

The BBQ pork and brisket were delicious. However the sides were disappointing. The fries were extremely greasy and the cole slaw was bland. Kids menu overpriced at 9.95. Friendly service but slow. I would definitely return for takeout bbq and make the sides at home. read more

I want to preface this review by saying I understand the challenges of starting a new business. ANYONE who is able to start a locally-owned business should be applauded and supported. That said, my friends and I were really disappointed with our first experience at Wire Mill BBQ last night. First, the business does not have a website, but a Facebook presence. Unless you spell out "Wire Mill Saloon and Barbeque" exactly in the Facebook search, you won't find them. I did so by doing a Google search. This is a Facebook issue more than theirs, but maybe they should make it easier to find information about them online (as most consumers expect these days). Now, about our experience. We showed up a little after 7PM on a Saturday night (party of four), and were greeted enthusiastically by several employees. We waited for approximately 15 minutes or so for a booth. The place is pretty small -- two high top tables near the bar, four booths, and a couple of smaller tables near the wall. Up to that point, the service was friendly and accommodating. We ordered drinks and it took more than 10 minutes for one friend to get his beer from the bar. We were told right away that they had run out of brisket and sausage. Three of us ordered the pulled pork platter and the other got chicken and pork. It took a very, very long time to get the entrees (at least a half hour). In that time, our drinks were empty and even though all of the servers walked past our table multiple times, no offer for refills was made. Also, the nail in the coffin was the basket of cornbread and biscuits everyone receives. I was raised in the south and am continually disappointed in what constitutes both of these time-honored breads here in the north. What came to our table was quite honestly the worst cornbread and biscuits I've ever had in 34 years of my life. The cornbread was razor thin and burnt to a crisp and the "biscuit" was actually an extremely dry "muffin" with a piece of bacon & cheese on the top. No butter is served with the bread, and it was just NOT edible. When our food finally came, the experience was already tainted. The pork was decent, but needed lots of sauce. The sides were not that great (among the group, we had baked beans, coleslaw, mac & cheese, and curly fries). One friend mentioned the fries had ZERO flavor...nothing. She kept talking about it over and over, and I tasted one, and agreed. Not even salt helped. One of the servers asked how everything was doing and I just had to be honest. It was that lackluster. She just smiled and asked if she could get anything else for us. A few minutes later, a woman who I assume was one of the owners, came by and asked the same. I gave her the candid feedback and she looked pretty crushed, commenting that we were the only customers who had anything negative to say in a week and a half of business. We were polite and never nasty in any way -- just being honest because I would think a new business owner would want to know these things. She told us the entire check would be comped because they wanted us "to be happy and come back and give them another try." That is a CLASS ACT attempt at customer service, and even though our entire party insisted we pay for our entire meal (food and drinks), they refused, just asking we tip the server. We tried at least 2-3 times to pay, and were rebuffed. The original server asked that we come back during a week night or when they weren't as busy, but to please give them another chance. Honestly, not sure how that would change the taste of the food, but we all very much appreciated the "olive branch" given. We tipped her and then left. Again, I know it's hard for a new "mom & pop" business, and I'm sure they'll get kinks worked out. It wasn't a good experience for us, but I do realize that we're in the minority according to the comments on their Facebook page. read more

Recently converted Deli by the owner to a cozy family friendly BBQ place in an area that really can use it. Staff is superfriendly and eager to please. As the take out flyer states this is a "mom and pop business", "customers are shareholders". As a shareholder I expect their stock is on the rise. Came in at 6pm on a Friday Night to have a beer at the bar place a take out order and see what is going on. Warmly greeted by the bartender. Above average selection of Craft Beer including 6 taps at the small comfortable bar (tv with sportscenter and music playing). One large party sitting at a high top and two families in booths waiting for food. Placed my order and waited with a draft at the bar, POS system worked well and food came out just as I finished my beer and chat with bartender who did a great job of chatting while taking 4 other take out orders. Now for the food: menu is pretty standard BBQ offerings which includes combo platters sandwiches, burgers, salads and 8 different sides and several BBQ sauces. They didn't have St Louis style ribs so I ordered the Baby Backs and I am glad I did. These are nicely smoked, meaty and large (not those tiny over sauced things you get normally when ordering Baby Backs). Homeade Smoked Sausage were probably good on Thursday when they were fresh, links were dried out and totally inedible (did anyone in the kitchen taste them? Were they microwaved?). Cheese Burger, Iceburg Blue cheese wedge and veggie burger were as they should be in a BBQ place. Sides all excellent portions, Mac and Chesses very tasty, fried okra nice cornmeal dusting not greasy could use a little spicy creamy dipping sauce ( would also make a great app), cole slaw dried out and flavorless(surprising considering owner ran a deli for years), collard greens were ok but too dry and needed more bacon (maybe day old and microwaved). People can get dogmatic about BBQ ( KC V. Carolina V. Memphis V. Texas), at the end of the day everyone agrees freshly well smoked meat wins regardless of the style and based on the ribs and the look of the brisket and pulled pork I saw the owners of Wire Mill agree. I don't expect they will sell meat smoke past it's prime microwaved and hidden under sauce. I am sure this family business will work out the start up kinks and be a real winner, there are enough bars in the area this is a great place to bring the family. Please get yourselves a website, not everyone likes Facebook (some people actually hate it!), and put your email and website address on your takeout menu.... read more

Let me start by saying that I was raised by southerners and know GOOD barbeque. Wiremill exceeded my expectations. The pork was perfectly done, the barbeque sauce was not too sweet (I find that when northerners try to do BBQ, this is usually the case) and the sides were absolutely delicious. We especially enjoyed the rice and beans...there was a bit of fresh cilantro in the dish, which gave it a bright, fresh flavor. I was skeptical as to how good the food would be, and I was VERY pleasantly surprised. I have never had barbeque this good up north and will go back many times, if you are thinking about trying Wiremill, GO! read more

A little bit of Texas in Connecticut! A friend took me here for lunch and as a Kansas City BBQ snob I was sold. Brisket was super tender and thick cut but didn't fall apart. Great fries washed down with Shiner Bock beer. Their the sauces live on the table for you to sample and/or slather. Will be back to try the rest of the menu soon. read more

Went we hubby for lunch on Saturday. He had been there once before with one of our sons and loved the pulled pork. We shared the combo platter- had Mac and cheese, cornbread, beans, brisket and ribs. The ribs were so good that we added another order of them. Brisket was very good, but not as good as the ribs, and the sides were excellent. Add on a couple of cold beers and we were happy people!! Can't wait to go back! read more

Have been recommending this place to all that will listen to me. Great food overall and the smoked wings are wonderful. Have been there at least 6 times now. But, last night the ribs were dry. Should have sent them back, but took the high road. I should so that the chef knows what he is putting out and can improve. I guess everyone can have a bad day on occasion. read more

This place has killer BBQ and there is no other place around like it. Love hanging by the fire pit and sipping on some cocktails. This place is a staple among the Georgetown restaurants. Also Greg is a great waiter! read more

Terrific BBQ. My southern wife raved about it. They are open on Sundays now. Family run sma business doing excellent work.

Got takeout from here because we have been craving the BBQ thats right near my office, Whoodoos, but they refuse to open for lunch. Food wasnt great. Meats were very dry, i think i had brisket and pulled pork but would have trouble telling you which was which. Corn bread was very small but i liked it, and I enjoyed the mac and cheese. Sadly best part of the meal was the BBQ sauce. i saved some i bet it will be much better on some chicken nuggest then it was on the meat. Sorry, =-( will not try again. read more

Had lunch here Pulled chicken sandwich was delicious. It was smokey and tender. Th sandwich roll was much like a. Brioche and quite fresh. The cole slaw Was just right with a couple of cucumber pickle slices that tasted so homemade. read more

The best ribs around. Great service. I eat lunch there almost twice a week. The salads are great. If you are on a low carb diet this is a great place the sauce is on the side. The servers go out of their way to make sure your food is out quick and your cup is full of your beverage. read more

Great BBQ; not slathered in sauce to hide mediocre meats. I've never had a bad meal eating in or for take away. Equal to or sometimes better than Bobby Q's in Westport. Always seems to be busy with table seating and a full bar. Well worth the trip. read more

Food was absolutly great. Pulled pork melted in my mouth with flavor. We sat outside - great patio. Waitstaff was friendly BUT very inattentive. Bbq sauce squeezers on table were sticky and covered in sauce from the previous people. I will still come back. read more

This place is sooo good! Really delicious BBQ. I would totally recommend the ribs, they are out of bounds. Pair them with the fried okra, corn bread, and Mac and cheese and it's a grand slam! Really good smoke on their BBQ items! Great atmosphere both indoors and out. Good service. Reasonable prices! read more

Exceptional food!! Outstanding bbq! Staff are super attentive. Ate there this evening and our 4 year old son was given an opportunity to see the smokers in action. The owner spent some 15 mns talking w/us about their smoking process and even gave us some wings to sample. Highly recommend!! We will definitely be back! read more

I came here a few weeks ago was not really that impressed. The brisket was reheated 100%. Terrible. The ribs were mediocre at best as well. They did have a nice outdoor patio set up. There sides were ok. read more

Such a fun addition to Georgetown! It feels like a cozy ski lodge and tastes like a sunny backyard party. Small so expect a wait, I think they should start taking reservations? Very happy to have a new rib-joint in the area! read more

Have been a customer here since it was a small deli. Very consistent! Smoked wings are magniferous! I know that's not a word but that's what they are!! Geno is a smoke master in my book. Matt is great behind the bar The transformation into a full scale restaurant scared me, but they did not skip a beat. Had the pulled pork sandwich too, I put the slaw right on the bun like they used to! Awesome as usual!! I really liked it when it was a deli, now I Love It! Be back often!! read more

Wow,first time their was on vacation from NC and my cousin took us. 10 star for sure. We know our BBQ and this was a tasty treat. Band for the buck and even had to take a box to go. Please try this wonderful gem. The staff was friendly and service was great. read more

Beef ribs, excellent. Pork ribs, excellent. Cheese fries topped with pulled pork, excellent. The service was great. Looking forward to the outdoor seating now that the weather is nice again. read more

Always good food! Our company goes here for lunch sometimes. I completely disagree with all the negative reviews. It's also a nice addition to the neighborhood! read more

Nice outdoor seating. Had a very good early dinner. Service was adequate just looking for more variety on the appetizer side. We will be back. read more

Very quaint interior. Ordered food for take out. Brunswick stew was good just a bit spicy for me. The Monster was very good. The BBQ sauce is just too sweet for me, but it grew on me the next day. Coleslaw was good with very little mayonnaise. Excellent home made chips. Also purchased the pulled pork sandwich. Looking forward to eating that one next. Prices were not expensive. Will definitely try different items next time. read more

The smoked meats are really good. Friendly staff, good selection of beer on tap and fun ambiance make this one of my family's go to spots. I am sure you won't be disappointed. read more
