Bluebird Barbecue

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.

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

Second time here, first time was fantastic and I was very happy with everything I had. Today must have been an off day for them. Menu changed quite a bit and that's easy to understand but I expected the same quality as before. Pulled pork was very dry even with the sauce. Burnt ends were.... different and not what I thought, tasted good just wasn't what I was looking for. Seemed like it was just the brisket cut in a different shape, with no sauce on it. Mac n cheese was ok but rather plain. Surprisingly the sweet n sour Brussels sprouts were my favorite part of the meal. Service was good and very friendly. Also the Google recommended dishes are no longer on the menu. No ramen, no bbq for 2, no turkey and no seitan hoagie. We did have the unfortunate seating arrangememt of being sat across

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!
