5/5 Hidden Gem BBQ spot. Stopped in the other day and had one of the best pulled chicken sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Meat was tender and had excellent flavor. You can tell they care about their craft here. Cajun Shrimp & Fries are must sides!
Holy smokes (lol)! This is the BEST place. The food was UNREAL, the people were so kind and we were lucky enough to bring some of that delicious bbq sauce home with us. We had the smoked and deep fried chicken wings- so good. The brisket and pulled pork burgers were so good we almost ordered more to bring back to our hotel for breakfast. A must visit for sure!
So upon pulling in the parking lot it was rough and we almost left but that's not the restaurants fault and as soon as you pull in the smell of the delicious bbq inside grabs you. The outside seating area out front isn't bad and we were told the back seating was amazing but the inside was tight but quaint. The service was not bad but they were a little overly attentive which makes me a little apprehensive about the food sometimes but no complaints about taste or flavor. We started with the appetizers ( Alabama shrimp and BBQ egg rolls) amazing. Egg rolls could have been a meal. Then the brisket and pulled pork were mouth watering.

We had such a great experience at Tiano’s BBQ in Middletown! Nice little Valentines treat without having to deal with all the chaos- that a commercial place with mediocre service would’ve given. The woman taking our order was incredibly friendly and funny — a true people person. She recommended a few items, so we ordered them all and were so glad we did! (I really wish I remembered her name, she DOES deserve the recognition!) We started with the bacon pops (crispy and full of flavor) and the chicken bites with their in-house sweet chili sauce — both delicious. I had the Philly brisket sandwich, which was juicy with the perfect meat-to-cheese ratio and amazing smoky flavor. The potato salad tasted just like my grandma’s. My husband got the smokehouse burger with sweet potato fries — every
The Taino Mac and cheese was delicious and the brisket Philly sandwich was awesome. Highly recommend those 2 dishes.
