Reviews for Southern Que BarBQ in Meriden, CT
A small operation run by an a South Carolina native. This is a food trailer permanently parked at his residence. The meat is... smoked just a few feet from where you buy it. The owner uses a Carolinas vinegar "sauce" that has a very mild kick. The porkis tender. The chicken falls off the bone. The ribs have a proper char. I haven"t tried the bricket yet. The sides are alltasty. Most are traditional, but I especially liked the collard greens. They appear to also be treated with his vinegar saucewhich results in a lighter, brighter flavor as opposed to the heavier, stewy styles. I like both, but this made for a nicechange. As for the corn muffin, I prefer a course textured, higher corn content, southern corn bread. Portions are generous(the sandwiches are a dinner meal). The service has a relaxed pace (this is not fast food) but is genuine and friendly. Takenote that this is a CASH ONLY operation. I recommend that he get a Venmo account to enable digital cash transfers. Read more

Awesome ribs, sides okay. If you are all about the bbq, it is great. If you have to have killer sides you have to like SC style... sides. Read more
Ribs and cornbread are a 5. The potato salad is southern style and okay, but I am not a good judge as I have only had it a few... time. The Mac and cheese was not what I am used to, but had a tasty spicey bite. The ribs are really the star, so tasty and notsmothered in a heavy sweet sauce. Read more

So this is my review. The flavors are amazing. I had the beef brisket sandwich and a side of mac and cheese. Both had good... flavor but both were very dry. I usually go taino but they've been closed due to carona v. So im checking out other places formy bbq fix. Like I said their flavors are good but maybe they should not cook their meat as long and give it a good rest. Ormaybe a lower slower approach. This is just constructive criticism. Also with your mac a nice smoked cheddar,American, Colbymix would do wonders for you. All and all a good bbq. Would like them to go next level Read more
