12 Best Barbeque Restaurants near New Haven

“I was craving wings today and it’s like this place popped out of nowhere and was calling my name. Some of the best chicken that I’ve ever had. Only thing that’s missing is some sauces or spice options, but other than that, every part of that chicken was devoured and if it had a cluck I’d have eaten that bit too. Staff was very friendly and the cook (I’m assuming owner) was very kind and passionate about everything he does. Hidden gem. Can’t wait to stop by again! Thank you and God Bless!“

“We had Mission BBQ cater our wedding and they did absolutely amazing! The whole staff were the absolute sweetest people and we are so grateful to have them be a part of our special day! The food was amazing, we had so many compliments from guests. There was only one hiccup that was not their fault and they handled it so well. They truly care about what they do. Our only regret is we did not have cash on us to tip them more than we planned! We will be life long supporters. Thank you Mission BBQ team 💕“

“Ziffles food truck provided the food for my daughter‘s wedding, it was a rather large wedding so I was a little nervous about them being able to keep up with the demand. Not only did they keep up with the demand, but the food was absolutely amazing! I highly highly recommend!“

“Food was delicious and arrived quickly. Great waitress and support staff and clean, well decorated vintage diner atmosphere. Our party tried the beer queso,cinnamon dough puffs, breaded tenderloin, French Dip, and Porky Mac and would recommend them all.“

“It seems to be really nice people in there... I realize that it's a little pricey but please remember that they are not a big business they're not going to have access to cheaper prices for their products so I understand why their price points are where they are but the food tastes amazing! I will definitely be back!“

“Had a great experience here! Holly, was our server and she was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out perfectly! She checked in at just the right times and made us feel very welcome.
the food was excellent, but the outstanding service really made the experience memorable. It’s rare to come across someone who is so friendly, professional, and clearly takes pride in what they do. We’ll definitely be back and hope to have Holly again!!“

“This was my 1st time having it. It was suggested to me so many times but I'm very skeptical, plus I don't like food I'm not familiar with. But this place....I'm such a foodie and a critic because I can make the same if not better. It's just nice to grab a quick bite after 80+ hrs of work a week. This place was absolutely phenomenal 🙏 I seen some bad reviews, meat is dry, ect... but my ribs and the sauce .... so tender... was absolutely amazing and phenomenal 😋 THANK YOU!!!! I will be coming back 🙏🫡“

“I tried Shigs in Pit for the first time today and Wow were the ribs ever delicious. They were like country style ribs and literally so tender and moist they truly melted in your mouth. I don’t think I’ll go anywhere else for ribs from now on. Excellent!!! Maplecrest location.“

“My church had NSH to cater our Pastor Annv and the food was delicious. We had fried chicken wings, Mac n cheese and yams and everything was very good. What surprised and pleased me was the sweet potato was fresh, not can. So many would have taken the short cut and used can sweet potatoes. We will definitely use them for events at the church from now on. The atmosphere rating is based on their corporation and how profession they were. Ty NSH“

“Stopped by LongHorn Steakhouse and decided to try the pork chops with broccoli and rice. Let me just say… the pork chops were absolutely delicious. Tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The broccoli was fresh, and the rice paired perfectly with the meal.

Overall, I’d give the food a solid 10/10. The only small thing I’d mention is that everything was just a tad bit salty for my taste. Not enough to ruin the meal by any means, but noticeable enough to mention.

Other than that, I cleaned my plate and left full and happy. Great portions, great flavor, and definitely a meal I’d order again. If you’re on the fence about the pork chops, go ahead and get them just remove some of the Parmesan topping —you won’t be disappointed.“
