6 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Newbury

“A Mixed Bag of BBQ Bliss at Rusty Can with some seriously delicious food, but a few quirks keep it from being a perfect experience. I'd give it a solid 4 stars overall, primarily because the food is an undeniable 5-star affair. Let's start with the fantastic eats. We kicked things off with the chili and cheese tater tots, hush puppies, and smoked wings, all of which were a hit. For our main courses, we both ordered from the daily specials. My husband raved about his smoked turkey club sandwich, and my pork belly and mojo chicken tacos were absolutely incredible. Seriously, no complaints whatsoever about the quality or flavor of the food – it's top-notch BBQ! However, the experience was slightly let down by the service, which I'd rate 3 stars, and a particularly frustrating issue with the drink offerings. Our waitress was prompt in taking our initial drink order and kept our glasses topped off, but she did so silently, never checking in to see if we were ready to order our food. We actually waited a full 30 minutes before we could place our food order, which felt excessive. My biggest gripe, though, is with the drink selection, especially the water. The menu lists sparkling water, and we even saw a box of Saratoga sparkling water on display. Yet, when we tried to order it, our waitress informed us it was "just for the owner." When I inquired about the menu's sparkling water, she clarified it was just "soda water from the fountain." And the only bottled water available was Dasani – double yuck for those who prefer something else! It felt really off that the higher-quality option was displayed but reserved exclusively for the owner. For someone who doesn't drink soda or beer, this is a surprisingly big deal. They don't even offer juice for kids, which seems like an oversight. While the food at Rusty Can is truly exceptional and makes it worth a visit, I might hesitate to return unless they significantly improve their water options. It seems like a minor detail, but for many, it makes a big difference.“

“I've eaten A LOT of pizza in my day as a heavy set pizza loving man. And I've got to say osteria is my familys favorite!

A short and simple menu. Always a sign of people who know what they make well, and refuse to sacrifice quality for quantity.

I've traveled following Barstools top pizzas reviews and osteria beats each out of them out of the park.

This ain't your sloppy greasy Greek football pizza. This is a artinisal masterpiece of flavors wadeing over your tongue.

The sauce 10/10
The cheese 9/10 - for a pepperoni pie we like getting extra cheese.
The curst 10/10

The margarita pizza is the best I've had. The sausage pepper and onion pizza was absolutely out of this world and cooked to perfection. We're working our way down the menu and haven't had anything we didn't like yet.

Haven't had a bad pie from them yet!
We order pizzas well done to get a better crunch, and that forever changed my perception of what a good pizza is. The staff is also really nice and welcoming and definitely gives a family vibe.

As long as they're still here We'll be coming here for years to come for sure!“
