Smokin' With Chris

From out of town and was looking for some BBQ. Saw the reviews and decided to visit. Let’s just say that the food did not live up to the hype. The ribs were on the tougher side ,the old bay chicken wings didn’t have enough seasoning , the collard greens were spicy , and the rib tips were hard and a little dry. Additionally, I asked for blue cheese and got something that looked like butter which was … different. We took everything to go but at the end of the day we just ended up just throwing everything out before we even got home. HOWEVER, the pork belly burnt ends were great, the Mac and cheese decent flavor good & The brisket queso was ok too.. but I don’t think I’d come back .

Well, we did not have any plan at the beginning to visit this place even we didnt know about that exists. Due a plan change or were visiting a brewery and was closed at the time, we stopped here to take some appetizers on the meantime. Since or arrival the personale there was amazing friendly. They asked us if was our first visit to explain the concept of the restaurant. The server was really responsitive with all our questions about the menu. We ended order Brisket burn ends, baby back ribs, and different sides as beans, colslaw, colgreens and the traditional sweat smoke beans. The entire food was pretty good, I really like the ribs, theyre really tender and get of the bone without any effort. They seriously take care about customer care, I believe that Manager/Owner approached after

Connecticut is not widely recognized for its barbecue, making a restaurant like Smokin' with Chris an unexpected, yet worthwhile, find. This establishment is a not-so-hidden culinary treasure that justifies a detour. A recent visit, prompted by a friend's recommendation, confirmed that the quality of the sides is just as crucial as the main courses, which were all expertly prepared. The barbecue style leans toward the Kansas City tradition, featuring a slightly sweet finish from the addition of sauce. The menu highlights—including the tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs, the savory brisket tips, and the expertly seasoned pulled pork—all impressed. Pricing is reasonable, and the beer selection is robust. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, making it an excellent venue for socializing wi

The food is always delicious. I had the country fried chicken which was amazing. Kelvin and the entire waitstaff are very friendly and attentive. Forgot to take a picture of my chicken dish but did take one of the spicy margarita. The dining room gags been upgraded and looks fantastic.

Tasty and comfort = 2 deliciously dangerous side effects of a great BBQ spot. Cucumber salad was amazing and a mac & cheese with brisket or pulled pork wrap= comfort zone to the max... What 1 factor separates food from being great food? Answer = Flavor! No, I am not talking about drowning food in sauces. Imagine tasting everything individually but having it all come together like an orchestra harmony. Now add friendly customers, attentive service, clean environment, prompt food to table delivery and you have a blueprint for a memorable moment... And I didn't even mention the music.
