9 Best Barbeque Restaurants near East Haven

“This was a perfect place to satisfy our BBQ craving during the wintertime! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with the smell of their delicious cooking. We were really big fans of their ribs, pulled pork Mac, and steak and cheese eggrolls. They've been making the same homemade recipes for 30+ years and I hope they never change a thing! What an East Haven gem. Even the cheesecake was homemade and so fluffy. All of the staff we met were incredibly welcoming and nice to talk to. We'll be back!!“

“Food is great. This place is extremely noisy. When they do the line dance they turn the music way up even though it is already too loud. This made a nice meal quite unenjoyable.Parking: Large lot but I guess at dinnertime it fills up and had to drive around three times before a space opened up.“

“Yesterday my wife and I had the pleasure of finding a new, to us, go to place. We were attending a Drag show that a friend of ours was a part of and we didn't know what to expect from a restaurant in and old gas station. Well hang onto your hats folks because you are in for a great experience. Jo, the manager has got to be the sweetest thing on this earth since sugar cane. She kept everything moving smoothly while having a constant smile. Kevin, our server, should give classes in how to be a waiter. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and again, smiling all the time. All that is well and good but how about the food? I ordered the "Hail Mary" bloody mary. On another day this could have served as my lunch. It is topped with the most delicious hamburg slider, with a side of a perfectly cooked bacon slice and two grilled shrimp. The taste of the burger had me looking for the charcoal grille. So, the presentation was great but the taste of the drink surpassed the look. I highly suggest you give it a try. I ordered the Valdese Burger for breakfast, Another perfectly cooked burger, topped with and egg and hollandaise with a side of a ton of tater tots, yes, tater tots. The waffle my wife had was cooked perfectly and she said the taste was outstanding. We live an hour and a half away, it is worth the trip. She also said, the coffee could make or break a good meal, well, this coffee just added to the overall excellence of the meal. The place was noisy which was to be expected due to the show being presented, Noisy, but, oh so much fun. The place is great. Make it a part of your "places to try" this summer. You will thank me.“

“My drink and food were great! It was very busy so service was what it was with 8 birthday celebrations happening around us (staff sang Happy Birthday for each one).Parking: Parking lot is on the side of and in front of Longhorn Steakhouse and shared with the business next to it.“

“We’re so lucky to have SDE in the neighborhood. The food is real and clearly cooked with love. My wife loves their Rasta pasta, and I like trying different things each time. Their callaloo dish is amazing. They definitely get this white boy’s Seal of Approval.“

“Had this as my birthday dinner recently and it was immaculate.Excellent service, delicious food, chill place to hang while it was getting ready (was a big order, handled great). Was given water while waiting. Very friendly staff. Got free fries. Five stars and well deserved. Big recommend.“

“Somebody finally got it right! This was my first visit to the location on Winchester Ave, New Haven CT, in the Science Park District. I was truly impressed. The atmosphere is clean, inviting, and family-friendly. The barbecue ribs were tender, juicy, and smoked to perfection. I met the owner, Ricky D, who has his own signature BBQ sauce and seasonings. His BBQ has just the right amount of twang & heat. We tried the wings as well with baked beans and cole slaw. Dinners come with 2 sides & cornbread. We had Mac & Cheese & Collard Greens, which were absolutely delicious. You can tell that Ricky D puts his heart & soul into what he does. If you are looking for BBQ I highly recommend Ricky D's Rib Shack. The next time, I'm going to try his brisket. With that being said, I'll be back!“

“The atmosphere was inviting, with rustic decor and friendly staff adding to the charm. Now, let's talk about the food. Every bite was a revelation of flavor - tender, succulent meats paired with mouthwatering sauces that dances on your palate. From perfectly smoked ribs to juicy chicken, each dish showcased the skill and dedication of the chefs. And let's not forget the nachos - a hardy portion with decilous chips. If you're craving delicious barbecue in a great atmospher“

“ID Brazil is still putting down great flavorful food. Prices are a bit higher now but it's worth it to get great roast meats and yummy sides. My family and I have been going for years and the food is consistently good. No skimping on seasoning or tastes. The sweet plantains are always perfect. I always get rice and kidney beans. ? The wings are hands down my favorite. We've celebrated birthdays here as well. Staff is always warm but busy. If you dine in I'm sure you'll want some to go. Don't be shy.“
