We have been going to Bluebird BBQ for years. As parents of a young child date nights are rare. We ordered a half rack of ribs and burnt ends. When the food arrived we were shocked. The rack of ribs was the size of playing card. I attempted to cut into the rack. It was 6 tiny bones covered in burnt skin.. Bones and charrer skin. My wife says try the burnt ends. For 22 dollars I would expect more than 3 cold squares of meat with no sauce and a burn that is anything but burnt ends. Hint: burnt ends cannot hold a perfectly square shape. They are supposed to disintegrate under there weight and be soft. They were like cutting a slice of frozen cake. We asked to have replacements. They said ribs and burnt ends were sold out. We had lthe last reservation of the night. The place was empty. Which is weird. 5 years ago it was standing room only. I'm saddened and ashamed to have ever recommended them. Don't waste your 150.00 on a place that charges 12.00 for a vodka and cranberry with no vodka.

The brisket and burnt ends were actually super dry, but the side were pretty good, but seem to have gotten much smaller, years past the brisket Poutine was the most notable downgrade

I love BBQ but can’t enjoy it as often as I’d like as the wifey isn’t big on meat. That’s what made this place so special, their BBQ Tofu. The game changer if you will. Along with that we got the smoked turkey and of course pulled pork. Side of Mac n’ cheese and pit beans. Delicious for dinner, and delicious 3 hours later as a snack. Came for my birthday and was not disappointed.

Flavor of turkey, brisket, and double smoked burnt ends was awesome and all super tender! But, it was all dry. Wings were perfect though!

I'm a BHS student, and this is week 7 of my 🍴Student Eateries Series🍴
It's halloween, and I'm craving some intense flavored goodies and a very cozy spot to enjoy my dinner. This was the perfect spot for it!
The atmosphere was insane, and very cozy! I sat at a booth near the window, and I can see a stunning view of the Winooski River from where I'm sitting, top tier atmosphere! The music was also calm, and I feel really relaxed inside the restaurant.
The service was incredible. My server was great, asked if I needed anything, and very friendly. Nothing more to say about it!
The food was definitely the star of the show. I ordered a large beef brisket accompanied with pickles. The flavor was GREAT! The brisket has that smoked flavor, and the sauces are excellent. It's a REQUIREMENT to add the sauce to the beef brisket for that awesome flavor. One thing I really liked about the beef briskets are the fats of the beef brisket (they are usually around the edges of the beef brisket), it's really soft and tender, and is the best part of the entire beef brisket! The pickles are good too, full of flavor, and very good paired with beef, Although the portion size may seem small, it was very fulfilling for me. Do not underestimate the portion sizes!
Overall, this restaurant hosts an excellent atmosphere, calm and relaxing. The service is also incredible! The food was the star of the show, having that smoked flavor, and the sauces is an excellent edition to the food.

Cool place to eat but terrible service and mediocre bbq. We waited for an hour for entrees. The mix drink tasted like straight alcohol. The 30 dollar brisket taste like over cooked and dry pot roast, in fact everything was dry. The menu online also doesn’t match the one in the restaurant. The poutine was good and the wings were awesome. That’s all.
Very convenient location, plenty of parking The staff are super nice and the service is quick
Now food. We got the Family Reunion meal since wanted the chance to taste everything (feeds 4-6 people...There were 3 of us😅, so had plenty of leftovers to go). Meats 🍖 Brisket - so soft it melts in your mouth Ribs- very flavourful Pulled pork - nice and moist Turkey - surprisingly good, goes well with the apple sauce Chicken - good flavor but a bit dry
Sides 🥗🍛 Mac& cheese - Oh-My-God it was so good Fries- nice and crispy Calslaw - very light Beans - very flavourful Apple sauce - very good,not sweet, great pearing for the chicken/turkey Pickles - have a nice kick And it all comes with some toasted fluffy bread
I washed is down with some maple lemonade wich wasn't too sweet which was nice All and all 10/10, do not skip if you are in the area

What a delight to find this place 5 minutes from Burlington! 5 delicious sauces on the side to choose from: flavours based on mango, ketchup, mustard/vinegar, sweet/hot, mild/sour. The smoky meat was to die for. The seating in the back is covered, yet open to the outdoors and nearby river. We just don't do BBQ like this in Europe, or it hard to find. I was very happy!
So good!! Locals all recommended this place as well as seeing it on food network. I’m not a big bbq eater but the seasoning and texture of the meat was perfect, all the sides were ordered were SO good. My husband and I finished this with a dessert in minutes and wanted more, wish we had this place nearby!

If you wanna spend about $50 on a few small, bland, poorly prepared side dishes served in small bowls this is the place!
