For a random bbq joint in the middle of nowhere CT, it’s solid. For bbq overall, it’s strictly medium rate.
Food: We had the brisket, brisket MAC (Sandwich), and the Apple Butter Pepper Burnt Ends. Portions for the brisket and ABPBEs were small… especially considering they were $16 each. •The Brisket was good, but a tad on the dry side and it could have had some more prominent flavor. •The Burnt Ends were really good… probably some of the best burnt ends I’ve had in a long time. It’s unfortunate you don’t get more for what you pay for. •The Brisket Mac was overall good. One thing I did notice is the brisket completely overshadowed the Mac… Like by itself, the Mac was great, but when mixed w/the brisket on a sandwich, I could barely taste the Mac… they also used penne pasta for the Mac which, (ftr I have no issues with), makes for an interesting choice for bbq mac. The Brisket Mac was $18 if I recall, which is funny considering I got a decent bit more brisket on my BM than the actual brisket option… So I’m a tad confused on how they are coming up with the prices… cause if the brisket alone is anything to go by the brisket Mac sandwich should have been $24 ish. •Overall for food, the Burnt Ends were BY FAR the best thing there and I would 100% recommend getting it at least once. •Side note: we got to it early in their open hours and they were already out of pulled pork… don’t know if it’s super popular or they just didn’t buy enough pork… either way it was a bit disappointing.
Service: Not much to say here… the guy that took our orders seemed distant, not friendly (although not hostile by any means)… but overly just passive aggressive for lack of a better description. He did laugh at a joke I made so I’ll give him that.
Atmosphere: Service aside, it’s exactly what you’d expect from a budget swamp yankee bbq joint. Personally, I like this vibe so I give it high marks. They have charred doors as the tables, and a trailer to order out of…. Makes for an interesting...
