Reviewed by tourists and not locals, clearly. Way better places to spend your money and get some great food around, including 3 other BBQ joints in town. These guys need to be a little assashamed of themselves for changing $19 for 3 pieces of brisket, one ice cream scoop of way subpar coleslaw and a heaping scoop of cucumbers trying to be called homemade pickles in an attempt to make it actually look like there's food in the to-go container... Doesn't deserve 1 star. If you're hungry, keep looking - because you'll still be hungry, and broke, after eating here. Oh, and you forgot my baked beans and charged me. OH OH, and they charge two separate fees if you want to use their website and go pick up your own food - which is an interesting way to rip people off. OH OH OH - AND your Key Lime pie is absolutely horrible and rancid. I hope I save people's time and money... The End.

The food was fantastic! I was skeptical because I haven’t been a fan of most BBQ in New England.The food was fantastic, the beer selection is top notch and the service was the best I’ve had in years.We ate in as a group of 10 and the food was served quickly and drinks were refilled often.10/10 would recommend.
This is s gawd awful place. The food is OK I guess. Northern Vermont isn't Austin.But the staff is absolutely terrible. Their bartender focuses on cleaning glasses rather than guests. He shared that he hates his job and the manager admitted that he's stinks. Just rude. Don't expect your food order to be put in.But me personally, I had my coat stolen there. Just a straight up steal of a 10 year old NorthFace coat. Not one apology or offer of help.Once agathe food is mid.If you want to have a terrible time waiting for mediocre food, this is your spot.

Picked up dinner tonight, beans very under cooked. By the time I got home approx 20 mins, buns very soggy . Maybe keep buns separate in Togo box . Pickles just cucumbers in vinegar. Too much red cabbage in Cole slaw just not fond of pink Cole slaw.Shrimp tasted good.

We were disappointed. We ordered the barbecued pulled pork, which came with slaw. The pork was tender but tasteless and did not have enough barbecue sauce. My wife's serving was not even warm. The coleslaw was tasteless, mainly just chopped cabbage. The setting on the outdoor porch was nice, and service was okay.

We used Black Diamond BBQ to cater food and bar at our wedding and they were PHENOMENAL. Jason and the staff were so easy to work with and made the process enjoyable. The food and service was fantastic and so many of our guests complemented on how great the food was. We even took our family to the restaurant a few days after the wedding because we couldn’t get enough! Highly recommend for your catering needs!

Ate here 2 yeas ago and was underwhelmed. Tried again recently and it was reinforced that it’s just not impressive at all. Based on the other reviews, I’d say most people don’t actually know what good BBQ should taste like or we’ve been very unlucky with off nights for the kitchen both of the two times we’ve eaten there.The salad did not have 2 of the main listed menu ingredients. The amount of brisket on the bun was the smallest amount of meat by far we’ve ever received at any BBQ. Quite insubstantial. It was served with approximately 2 tablespoons of bland coleslaw and no extra sauce, which it needed more of as the meat smoke and flavor was very plain. The homemade chips that came with the burger would have been nice but no extra sauces or dips were offered or given. The burger was decent, but that was the only item and the bun was dry. They forgot the cornbread also. The server was sweet and gave me a complimentary to-go order of cornbread. For the price and quality of food, this place disappoints for the second time. There will be no 3rd try.
Unfortunately the service was too slow, we were waiting to be attended for around 15 or more, and the food was cold. The beer wasn't cold. The portions were good.

Did not meet expectations. Portion on one of our plates was tiny. The chicken sandwich was under cooked. When the baked beans are the best item we received what else do you need to say. Overpriced, will not return, should have said something.

Hello from Stowe - Lex & J.T.
Black Diamond BBQ is the best caterer around! They'll take care of everything for you and your event will be a smash. They also have a restaurant which is worth the quick drive from Stowe.
