If this brisket sandwich and these colorful veggies don’t make you run to The Cue, I don’t know what will 😅🙈 We went there yesterday, and I could barely finish my plate — now I’m literally drooling just thinking about it 🤤 Their BBQ sauces are out of this world... and that’s coming from someone who usually hates sauce on anything! 😁

Not bad, great price on drinks for happy hour and they have a very nice bar. Otherwise it's pretty expensive. We had the baby back ribs, the smoke flavor was great but they were to firm. Not the fall off the bone that you would expect. I would give them three stars, and the corn bread was awful. But every thing else we tried was wonderful. I would say it's worth a visit. Oh ya and the sauces were great.

A good friend of mine stopped in to eat here and they were more than impressed with the service given. The quality of the food was also top notch. The owner went out of his way to show an act of kindness to my friend after his daughter the server, gave him a call informing him my friend was on his way home from the hospital for cancer treatments. My friend is very grateful for the service, the kindness, and the meal he was able to enjoy.
To the owner he wanted to thank you for being a kind soul, a gentleman, and going out of your way to make my day. There aren’t many kind people still in the world and you made his week. Thank you and we highly recommend eating at this establishment!

The ribs are fantastic HOWEVER the “colossal” shrimp were a colossal dissapoint. You get 4 regular sized shrimp on a warm plate with a smear of cocktail sauce and a lemon with a fork in it for the low price of $22.00. Not on ice and not colossal and not enough cocktail sauce to even cover them tiny things. Yes I came on here just to express my disappointment of getting ripped off for false advertised shrimp.

If you’re craving true Texas BBQ, this place delivers perfection. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right amount of smoky bark, and the ribs practically fell off the bone. Every bite was packed with that rich, slow-smoked flavor you can only get when someone really knows their craft.

Service was great. People were very nice.
Food was far too greasy and had no flavor. Mac n cheese also had a grainy texture?
I threw the food out. I literally couldn't eat it. Maybe I just came at not a great time. Disappointing because it was 50 bucks for a combo. Might try them again because the people were so nice. I come from Texas so I have a different palate for bbq. Go and make your own opinion, this was just my experience.

The wife and I just had dinner here. The food was great, and the staff was friendly and courteous. Only 2 things I would say need attention. First, the wait staff should take your menus when you are done ordering and your appetizer plates as well. Our table was getting crowded once we got out main courses but it’s fine, not a huge deal, the waiter eventually saw the table getting full and took everything. The only other thing was that the restaurant was very muggy, like the AC was busted and that kind of sucked. But other than those 2 things, I liked The Cue a lot!!

My wife and I recently visited The Cue, and while parking was a little tricky, everything else more than made up for it. The service was attentive and friendly from the moment we walked in.
I ordered the Pick 3 and was blown away. The pork belly, ribs, and brisket were all cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, the meat was so well-prepared that their very good barbecue sauce was almost unnecessary. The pork belly in particular was some of the best I’ve ever had.
The atmosphere sealed the deal—warm and inviting, with wooden tables and chairs that made me feel like I was enjoying a true Texas barbecue, right here in Connecticut.
If you’re looking for authentic, expertly cooked barbecue, The Cue delivers. We’ll definitely be back.

The Food Sucked !! Soup was clam chowder and I have had canned soup that tasted better. Shrimp cocktail was 4 shrimp thrown on a huge plate undercooked mind You. How Do You screw up Shrimp Cocktail ? They did ! Prime Rib was horrible. Mash potatoes had tasted like canned gravy on the top. Vegetables were undercooked. At 46$ plus tax I have had better Prime Rib at the track. Best one yet the salt shakers on the table weren't working. How do You screw up salt shakers ? I took one from another table not working. If You are the owner I am sad as hell that I got charged for this food and experience. Overpriced and its the not the owner cooking. Your place suffers When You are not cooking Boss Man. Very Sad :(

Large. Portions. But no flavor , everything was so Bland we were so disappointed by the food . Over priced and not worth it.we are so confused by all these 5 star reviews..did we accidentally go on a night the chef quit and took all the seasoning and flavor home with him. ? Sure tasted like it. Highly disappointed by this experience especially since it was a birthday dinner.
