13 Best Barbeque Restaurants near North Haven

“We had a great meal on a Friday evening at about 5:30 PM

The waitress was very friendly, quick and responsive to all our requests

The salad was crispy and fresh no wilted lettuce. The bread was fresh fresh baked, and warmed with whipped butter

My steak was cooked perfectly and the grilled shrimp was served over a Spanish flavored rice was excellent

The mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery very nice. The shrimp or cooked perfectly not overcooked. They still had some snap to it when you bite into them please refer to the video.

My friend had the Parmesan crusted chicken breast, which was also fantastic when she let me have a bite. Also would be in the photos.

We will definitely be returning to this place and have visited this place before great experience all around for a busy Friday night. The Restaurant was at capacity with a quick 15 minute wait but we got right in with a party of two. We got a large booth and it was great.

We will be back👍🏻 👍🏻“

“Best bbq I’ve ever had! Loved the pulled pork!“

“This is such a great restaurant. Love the atmosphere here and the beauty of the place itself. The food is great. The happy hour food menu however is minimal and seriously lacking options. Also, the service at the bar is often very slow unfortunately.“

“Best bbq I’ve ever had brisket was tender and juicy the bbq suase was amazing and there is two types although the beef ribs did not have a lot of meat the meet they did have was so tender and out of this world the Mac was the best Mac I have ever had they give big portion and it’s affordable for what it is if you get in the deals“

“Everything is great! Highly recommend the onion loaf!“

“We were traveling for work and the hotel suggested we check out Pig Rig. We were not disappointed! The BBQ baked beans were awesome. It is kind of unfair to just call them baked beans, there is so much going on that it could be the entree by itself. Whatever you get make sure that bbq baked beans is one of them. The brisket is shredded not sliced and I loved it (6) different sauces and they are all great. The food was awesome and the staff were just as great! The owners were super friendly and I will definitely be returning. Hidden gem in CT for sure!“

“I ordered Door Dash for my first time from here. I was NOT disappointed! Everything was AMAZING! I did the meat and pick three. The only thing I wished for is a potato salad with Egg option. Everything was a 10/10 I also loved how everything was packed separate.“

“I tried Ricky’s D Rib Shack today for the first time. His chopped chicken with Mac and Cheese, baked beans and cornbread were delicious! Also, his brisket with potato salad and collard greens were very good too!“

“Been to this restaurant three times & the food hits every time my favorite is the garlic soy & galibi chicken boneless. Plus my partner & I had a nice time laid-back. Just that the restaurant needs more staff because it takes the waitress to take the orders & give out the food & it would be great to add 2 more waiters.“

“I enjoyed everything, the food was delicious.“

They were so surprised! and it was delicious. Couldn’t find anything to complain about or wrong. Good price, food & service. Will definitely come back again!“
