Reviews for Smokin' With Chris in Southington, CT
I like this place. Food was great. Had the family platter. Got to try just about everything and it was more than 4 adults... could eat. I like the Slaw and corn bread and Mac more than Que. I think the atmosphere is more relaxed "family bbq" than Que. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. The only negative was the kielbasa was too salty for me. Definitely coming back. Read more
Smokin' with Chris is a great BBQ with a surprisingly large menu. They have standard BBQ items like ribs, burnt ends, and pulled... pork, but they also have more surprising items like jambalaya, Shepherd's pie, and chili (yes chili as an entree, not anappetizer). I went with a group and tried four or five different items they were all extremely good! I would recommend them overmany other BBQ places, especially with the group as our order came out extremely quickly. They also have some great mixed drinksto choose from, and all of the serving staff we talked to were extremely knowledgeable on the different cuts of meat and itemson the menu, which is actually somewhat rare for many of these barbecue places.

I am here on business from the UK and smokin with chris was recommended to me by a colleague and i absolutely love this... restaurant. The staff are really friendly, nice choice of beer and the food is amazing. Oh and they even sell tshirts andhoodies. The food is such great value for money and the beef falls off the bone. 'Yabba Dabba Doo' is my favourite and i'venever seen or eaten a cut of meat so big and tasty. Also the chips are so good and remind me of home and they have amazingcheesecake. In the last week i have been here twice and have recommended it to other colleagues i work with. Thanks Smokin withChris for making us feel welcome. Read more
We came here (admittedly a little late!) not realizing it was so close to closing, but they handled our party swiftly and... professionally. The service was awesome, and the food and drinks were amazing. The yabba dabba doo is a winner. Read more
Best BBQ food around! I?ve been going there for 6 years and don?t have a complaint yet. The corn bread is always a favorite... along with the chili and Mac and cheese. The brisket, burnt ends and ribs are amazing. The staff are always so nice andfriendly. Truly a great place to visit! Read more
African American Review: Place was very homey. I didn?t feel weird stares which happens a lot of the time, and the staff were... extra friendly. One thing you may know if you?ve read a review from me is? I?m hard on Mac & cheese. This Mack and cheesewasn?t good at all but editable. I?ve had worse. (Just look through my reviews lol) The meats are what you expect. The saucesare good and the menu is diverse. The speed of service was a little slow but that happens. I feel I?ve already had the best BBQConnecticut has to offer so everyone ranks below them unfortunately. The Beef brisket sliders were something worth talkingabout. The perfect bread. The right about of meat and the sauce made a nice mess. Chicken wasn?t bad with an adobo rub. Beanswere a delight. (Contained onions) ????????.25 I?d be back Read more
What an incredible dining experience! Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of our... dining experience - the food, beverages, staff, and speed of service were superior! The appetizer shown is the GrilledCornbread with Southern Pork Gravy (jalapeño cornbread). Gigantic portions and amazing flavors! Lunch also consisted of theShredded Rib Sandwich and the Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese Wrap. Each bite was well-balanced and speaks to the care in thekitchen. Every person we interacted with: hostess, wait staff, barkeep- all friendly and considerate. This is a joint to visitand return to! Read more
The food and service was extremely good. Tender meat, tasty sides and great drinks. Our server was very knowledgeable and... extremely nice. We had a party of 12. I totally recommend this joint if you want some good smoked bbq! Read more
