A classic smokehouse atmosphere combined with friendly service and actually good BBQ, makes this a great choice. Trivia night and $6 margs are the cherry on top.

I visited the Hartford location although I believe there is one in the New Haven area. The variety of menu choices is wonderful and the staff is absolutely friendly and accommodating,some of the best of any restaurant I've visited. Next, the food is sooo delicious,cooked to perfection and one of my choices was "burnt ends", well they were the best I have ever eaten, so tender they practically melt in your mouth and the flavor, the seasoning is A+!!! This is the place for your best barbeque experience.My mouth is watering just remembering my visit. Not just 2thumbs up ,10 fingers up !Parking: There is some street parking but we chose to park in a parking garage.

Thank you so much for having a vegetarian impossible meatloaf option, it looked like a small portion at first but it was actually a perfect size, very hearty. The cole slaw was also great, not too slippery.Vegetarian options: Impossible meatloaf

Update- The food was very dry this time. I went for lunch before and it was good...Food was really good, Tunkey in the collard greens, potatoes salad was not that good but everything else was really good.

Good place for BBQ. My friend and I had the friend chicken sandwich. It came out of the kitchen within 5 minutes. Which means that it was fried long before we ate it. When I bit Into it it was clear it was a hardened old fried piece of chicken. Not fresh and juicy like freshly fried chicken. Next time i will skip that menu item. Very good beer.

Visiting from Texas I was excited to find this gem. We ordered the Family Deal and thought it was a great deal! My only observation is that the guy didn’t know what a “marble cut” is. Like, how can you sell bbq and not know what that is. I briefly explained that there two parts to a brisket, the marble cut or the lean.

Wasn't sure how this location would compare to the one by the airport, but it didn't disappoint.
