You don't often see real smokers in the back with pit masters smoking the meats. so here's my feedback. 1 out of 10 Portion size- 10 by far one of the best barbecue restaurants for portions. Ribs 5. Understand these ribs were cooked absolutely perfectly. Tender moist fantastic smoking ring. I'm only giving them a five because they had a slight cherry taste to them and this is a personal preference. I don't care for cherry in my pork. Brisket 7 I requested a cut from the point of the brisket and not the flat. I got the flat and it was borderline dry. However the flavor was spectacular. I think it may have just been in the warmer just a little too long. Sausage 3 again the sausage was smoked to perfection. But unfortunately, I could not taste any sausage at all only spice. The sausage needs to be the star of the show and the spice to be a compliment. Brisket mac & cheese- 9 nice size chunks of brisket in a nice creamy mac & cheese fantastic. Beans- 1 I'm sorry but the beans had zero smoke flavor and it kind of tasted like they came right out of the can. A good barbecue place like this I know they can do much much better with their beans. Corn bread - 10 the cornbread came with my meal and it was absolutely perfect. A nice little crust on the outside soft and moist on the inside unbelievably perfectly cooked. This is one absolutely fantastic restaurant and I was very, very impressed with the quality of smoked meat they are producing. This restaurant is employing true Pitt masters who know what the heck they're doing with their pits. It's nice to see a taste of Texas in Connecticut.

We spent Sunday evening on the deck overlooking the water and the bridge. It's a great place to bring family members who have not seen Mystic before, they get lots of great pictures and videos of the bridge going up and down. The folks on the Sabino all waived hi... so fun and funny! All right about the place... The food is always and I mean always amazing. My son had the steak cooked perfectly and they adapted the potatoes for him. His girlfriend had the chicken and it was incredible I had the scallops always my favorite and my wife had a baked seafood combination. Appetizers were prosciutto wraps scallops and artichoke dip! Wooow yum! We had the Willmette valley Pinot Noir. Dana was a consummate professional server. Anticipating our needs adapting the food as needed and all in all just a good person. She and the rest of the staff were so accommodating! If you want to have a memorable place full of great staff this is a restaurant for you!

I also ordered the Colossal Shrimp Scampi Risotto -- I asked the waitress if "colossal" meant the dish or the shrimps and she assured me the shrimps were "really big". The entree took 20 minutes to arrive after I finished my soup. The restaurant was not busy but not once did the waitress approach me to tell me my order was delayed or give any other reason. When it finally arrived, the shrimp risotto was tasty but the three shrimps was by no means "colossal" (which I would interpret as prawn size) but rather regular "large" 2-3"). A little truth in advertising might be in order. Overall the food was good but the service left much to be desired. The maitre d' served my wine, soup, and entree so not quite sure what the waitress was there for (and she received a tip commensurate with the service provided).

We…read morewere told by the host that they would bring us a high chair, but after waiting, our server eventually asked "do you want me to see if I can find a high chair?" We had the request in the notes of our reservation, so it's a shame they didn't have it set up for us when we walked in or at least upon sitting down. There's no kids menu, and the regular menu is very limited if you have a child with a food allergy. My son has an egg allergy, and there were barely any options for him. There wasn't even a simple chicken option on the menu. We ultimately settled on a grilled cheese because it was essentially the only thing that worked, and no one offered to modify something or suggest another option that could accommodate him. The service overall wasn't particularly attentive, which made the limited options even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the food itself also didn't live up to the hype for us. I understand not every restaurant caters specifically to families, but a little more attentiveness and willingness to accommodate a child with a food allergy would have gone a long way. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for families with young kids or dietary restrictions.

Plus the puppy picture name wall was adorable and they name meals after them! Our server was nice and the menu had interesting choices, but sadly they sounded better than what they were. - the scramble was not that great...overdone eggs and I'm not a fan of slapping a square piece of cheese on eggs. I think shredded cheddar would have been a better choice and the crumbly-sausage was an odd choice for breakfast sausage - I was excited they had hash browns but they were premade with garlic powder and came out mushy. They left a lingering weird garlic flavor - turkey sandwich had real turkey breast which was great but it was too hot and made the sandwich soggy - burrito was good but the homefries were burnt beyond repair Lots of parking on the side and front area

Both were cooked perfect and the sauce on pizza was just awesome. We sat on bar side , not quite dive bar atmosphere (which I like) but just right, more older local patrons. The bartender worked both bar and tables and she was very attentive and friendly. Bonus perk is they have a parking lot, small but still a lot which is better than downtown Mystic. Great experience overall. Highly recommend if you are looking for relaxed atmosphere with A+ pizza.

The food is abysmal, the service is haphazard and the ordering process is confusing, especially for first timers. We ordered at the window and were given a ticket. On the ticket is written "take to the big red counter" and it has our order number. We went to the "big red counter" as its labeled, but there were no signs or instructions that in order for our food to be cooked we had to turn in the ticket. After the fact is was explained to me that some people order, but want to enjoy the grounds first and wait to have their order prepared. That doesnt make sense to me, because you could enjoy the grounds, then stand in line to order, but it would have been nice to have some explanation of that. So we wait for our order, and only the chowder, baguette & shrimp cocktail come out, she says my number will be called again when the rest is ready. So my stuffed clams take another 10-12 and in the time im waiting my chowder is now luke warm. The chowder was passable, not great, but not horrible. The baguette was soft and not crispy, served cold with rock hard butter. The 6 shrimp were of varying sizes, only 1 of which would have been considered Jumbo. $14 for 6 is a bit of a stretch. The stuffed clams weren't cooked through, and the breading was still "soupy" in the middle. Not a place I would consider returning to.

My sister and I both had burgers that were OK however, mine did have some grizzly in it and the clam chowder I believe was somewhat flat and needed some help. The service was OK and that's about the only thing good that I can say about the place after this last visit. Needless to say it goes on the bottom of my list of restaurants to eat at in Stonington.
