It's simply amazing. I ordered the fried chicken, the glaze was sweet, and the chicken was crispy. Paired with some creamy mashed potatoes and some tasty baked beans. I just moved to the area and so far this place takes the cake. Great value on price here as well.
Pure heaven!!! I got the BBQ pulled pork over Mac and cheese and it was soooo good I almost cried! This is the only thing I’ve tried so far but since this was so delicious, I definitely plan on coming back. It was about $18 for this, but the portion size is HUGE! This lasted me three meals because it’s that much and super filling. 10/10 recommend!
Excellent BBQ!! I love this little hidden gem. Tiny place with great big flavor.
I tried ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Plus collard greens and beans. Outstanding meat, so flavorful and moist. The ribs were tender and fall off the bone. The collard greens were also tender and delicious. Beans are beans...I liked these because there weren't overdone with sugar.
This little tiny dining room puts out some seriously good BBQ. You won't be sorry to hit this place up.
On top of ALL that was good, the wait staff was friendly! The owner came out to see how all her patrons were doing, having some conversation.
Hope to see you there.
Outdoor seating area is relaxing and beautiful. You can smell the pit going which is pleasant. Our waitress was prompt and friendly. The food was good I would say it could have been a little more warmed up. Garlic mashed potatoes were the best! My bf brother loved the ribs.
There was a bit too much seasoning on my brothers fries. He loved the burger though!
Overall a nice place to grab lunch!
Awesome spot for BBQ! The food is absolutely fantastic. The baby back ribs were great as well as the pulled chicken and pulled pork are so good as well. Sides are solid. Super friendly and prices and portions are good. I would highly recommend a stop in if your in the area. Highly recommend!
Very small space. I only saw one waiter, she was very nice and was working hard. The prices were good but the food not as good. Many of the dishes like the pull pork were cold, the beans were hard, potatoes in the potato salad were also hard. We had a party of 6 and it was very uncomfortable to sit and eat there due to space. I've to other BBQ joints and the food was better. Hopefully is not always like this.
My husband wanted to go for a Sunday drive and late lunch today due to the break in the rainy weather. As he was craving really good barbecue, he did a bit of research and found this awesome place, @tainosmokehouse in Middletown, CT.
Not only was the food amazingly delicious and a great value for the amount you get, but we had the most wonderful, knowledgeable and sweet service from Amy W. Thank you for the tasty recommendations and yes, you were right...the 2 Meat combo is enough food for 2 starving hungry "good eaters". I mean, ee had leftovers to bring home!
My favorite is their collard greens, their corn bread and their brisket (*mentioned this as the Google beta on items to recommend didn't have these), and, their house barbecue sauce. The other dishes we had there, like the baked beans, pulled pork, and their house sausage with fried onions and mustard are all very delicious. My husband also loved their BBQ egg rolls with their house made jalapeno ranch dressing. Plus, they offer a seasonal Mason jar dessert which, for the current season, is a bourbon peach confection with sponge cake, whipped cream and a caramel sauce.
There ate so many other delicious looking menu items that we will be back in to try in the future as well (my money is on their burgers, the Texas chili, snd their giant brownie).
If you want great barbecue in Connecticut, come here. And, take my advice, the beautiful outdoor patio dining area is the perfect place to enjoy the food. Trust me, the ambiance is relaxing and worth it.
Good food at a good price. Friendly staff and the food comes fast. Really big take out service as there was a steady stream of people coming in to get food the whole time we ate. Good find and will come back if we are in the area.
