I order a pick up order. The food was ready at the time I requested and service was great. I ordered the two meat combo and it did not disappoint. The amount of food was fantastic as I was able to save some for the next day. The brisket and sausage links were everything I was wanting when looking to find a BBQ place in Mystic. read more

Very nice and clean restaurant and the service was spectacular. I was very impressed with this barbecue restaurant. 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. read more

2nd review. This place is friggin delicious!!! I absolutely love and look forward to coming to Noble Smokehouse when I am visiting Connecticut. The food is absolutely amazing and full of great smoke and BBQ flavors. The staff is always friendly and very accommodating when there are questions or kids. Very family friendly, kids can color on the butcher paper table cloths while they are waiting for food! If you have ever been to a Southern smokehouse, Noble is set up in a very similar fashion. Go give them a try when visiting Mystic, I promise you will be happy you did. read more

Honestly was very underwhelmed by this place drive about 45 min to get here and honestly the food was blah and came out cold probably wouldn't take the drive again read more

This place is SO GOOD! We finally went here over the summer and were so surprised by the quality of the bbq! (Just as good as down south, and I have lived all over the southern part of the country!) YUM! read more

Drove down to Mystic for a late Monday lunch and it was so worth the drive. It's a charming little spot tucked in next to the Amtrak station. We had burnt pork belly ends - caramelized, crispy and tender. It was a generous portion. It could've been a meal for one me eater next up my son and I split the two meat combo platter with ribs and brisket. The brisket was top-tier - tender and smoky. My only comment on it would be it was a little salty, but nothing that the Diet Coke couldn't wash down .the ribs? Tender and flavorful fall off the bone fantastic! They also had some pretty amazing collard greens. Between the two of us, my son and I could not finish the Combo platter. Service was friendly. Definitely worth the drive. read more

Super delicious! We picked up dinner here while we were driving through Mystic and it did not disappoint. I love brisket and their's was SO good, I also really loved their white sauce. The ribs were spot on as well. The collards were spicier than I anticipated, but I still enjoyed them. The mac and cheese was by far our favorite side. Yum! Will definitely stop in here again the next time I am in the area. read more

Ordered the 2 meat platter that comes with 2 sides and cornbread for $36 and change. 2 sauces of choice included. Quaint little spot nestled in Mystic. Limited parking. The brisket was good and so was the pulled pork. Made to be dipped with the 2 choices of sauce you select as not overly seasoned. The maple bourbon sauce was so good, def pick this one!! The North Carolina sauce wasn't my thing, too tangy and zesty; vinegar-esque. Would come back for the meat selection. Heard ribs are good too. The portion is worth the price. Jalapeño cornbread wasn't my preference, I'm moreso a honey cornbread girl but the flavors were there. Texture was a tad bit gummy for me. Had tidbits of corn and jalapeño. The Mac & cheese needs some help: starchy, not well flavored, thick & clumpy but wasn't the worst. Collard greens could've had more savory flavor to it, was light but could've been cooked down more. Meats and sauce are what would make me come back. Will try the sweet potato and beans next for my sides. Still bang for your buck and worth coming to. Love that it's walk-able being in mystic. Update: the flavors seemed to soak up more as leftovers thru the day and became better. read more

I don't know why there is great BBQ in Mystic, Connecticut.... but, of course, I pleasantly surprised. I saw all the amazing reviews and was quite skeptical, but needed to give it a try anyway. Wowee was it delicious. We went in as a group of 7 so we were able to try all the meats (brisket, pulled pork, sausages, ribs) and almost all the sides. Food was served very warm. Brisket was jiggly with bark and a lovely fat cap. Ribs also had the nice bar on it and were fairly fall off the bone. Truly a great experience outside of the well-known bbq areas. Tons of sauces to choose from; my favorite was the North Carolina, naturally, because I love the tang, but there i something for everyone (think Memphis, Alabama, Kansas City, etc.). To top it off the Spicy Margarita was large and awesome too. Would definitely come back here in a heart beat. read more

When you think of barbecue, Mystic, CT probably doesn't jump to the front of your mind. Likewise- when you think of Mystic, CT, barbecue certainly doesn't come to mind either. But alas, Noble Smokehouse is changing that for me. Tucked away on the Stonington side of the river, outside of the hustle and bustle, Noble has quickly become my go-to option if I find myself in that neck of the woods. If you know Mystic, you know that it can be a whole ~thing~ to go there for a meal. Noble, however, is in the perfect spot if you don't feel like dealing with the chaos. Do they have a water view? No, but that's not what you're coming here for. Every time I've gone, I've been able to find parking easily, I've never had to wait for a seat, and every meal I've eaten here has knocked my socks off. My fast favorite is the hot pastrami sandwich. Hands down the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. The pork belly burnt ends are also can't miss. They have a good selection of local beer to go with your meal, and the service is always very friendly and prompt. Rumor has it they are opening a place in downtown New London, which I am very excited for. Until then, I will gladly make the trek to Mystic for a meal here. It's well worth it! read more

Don't be fooled by the location (the north which usually has a bad bbq rep), THIS PLACE IS LEGIT! Noble Smokehouse was no frills, just food, and great food at that! I went twice over a week, and had the brisket chili, smoked wings, pulled pork, mac and cheese and collards, along with a local root beer. Everything, including the sauces, were great. The service was great as well. I will definitely come back, and recommend it! read more

Awesome reliable spot for some good BBQ. I got the chicken quesadillas, the platter with a choice of 2 meats (brisket, ribs), 2 sides (baked potato, brisket mac n cheese), and 2 sauces (maple, chilli), and the pork belly burnt ends. The chicken quesadillas were great, plethora of chicken and cheese, topped with chopped green onion. The taste leans into its American pallet (think burgers, fourth of July realness, less Mexican) and manages to do it well without tasting lazy. I'd recommend this if you're not necessarily looking for authenticity, but more for a good, flavorful and hearty lunch. The pork belly burnt ends were quite disappointing. While I realize the name had "burnt ends", I didn't realize they would cook it to the point where the meat had an essentially rubbery texture, yet somehow gaining hardness in some areas where it attacks your gums. The flavor was the saving grace, very savory, and some leftover fat on the meat counteracts the dryness of the overall dish. If you're into the texture, I recommend pairing it with the chili sauce they offer on their menu, but note that the sauce is quite spicy. The platter was the main event of the whole thing. The brisket was nice and tender, yet not soggy. The sauce on top was classic BBQ, but will pair well with other sauces if need-be. The ribs were delicious, falling off the bone delicately, followed by a deep, rich flavor that only comes with a minimum length of time in cooking. The brisket mac and cheese was not heavy, but skims mildly on the cheese, relying more on the brisket for taste. Service was very polite, and the food arrived within 25 minutes, with absolutely no rush to order. The place had a very by-the-beach vibes in decoration, complimented with large, surrounding windows, with quiet old country music in the background. read more

Food was good and the delivery option was great. Very pricey for the delivered portions. The smoked meats were delicious. I wish the sauces had descriptions of the flavors. I'm not familiar enough to know which ones are sweet vs spicy. read more

Prepare for a food coma. But seriously though, this is some legit barbecue in the middle of the northeast and it makes my southern-born husband smile. It's a small joint right next to the Amtrak station, which would be easy to overlook if it wasn't for so many cars consistently parked there in hopes of finding a seat. The staff in there are constantly hustling to make sure the food is delivered as quickly as possible so that you can commence your delicious march into a food coma. read more

Our family loves this place! Great food and huge portions. We especially love the nachos and salads!

Great food and the prices are good for BBQ. Highly recommend. Ordered delivery and the food came packaged well, warm and nothing was missing. Definitely recommend!! read more

Ribs are dry. Server never asked us how was the food but asked every other table. I let her know at the end. She said she will let the kitchen know but nothing was done. Would not be coming back. read more

Server was pleasant and friendly. I ordered the pulled pork platter with coleslaw (very good) and sweet potato (came with special butter which was good). Only negative was my meat wasn't warmed to temp so I had to ask for them to re-heat it. Memphis & Kansas bbq sauces were delicious. Cornbread was also cold & I thought they should've warmed it as well. My husband & son ordered the collards which while tasty needed to be cooked longer & the seasoning adjusted as it was unbalanced to us. Guess that is subjective. All in all it was decent. read more

Great service and amazing food! We had a party of 6 adults and everyone raved about their meals! The nachos as an appetizer were spectacular! We will most assuredly be back soon!!!! read more

Service was ok/good. You seat yourself then get service. We thought that it was fairly Priced. The ribs were tender and as was the brisket. I loved the options in sauces offered(Alabama white). My main complaint would be the food was not as hot as I would've liked. It was just warm,almost room Temp my guess is it's not made fresh maybe set buffet style and the servers just scoop and send out? Has potential just need to do better with temps! read more

Ok food, service was ok. Not worth trying again. Wings were dry and seemed reheated. Way to expensive for mediocre bbq

I live in Groton that is the center of absolutely no where. So finding a BBQ spot in mystic I was extra side eye skeptical. Arriving it's a small little building at the hidden back road of mystic. We ordered and the menu alone makes your mouth water. I got a yummy margarita and the 2 meat combo with beans and Mac for my sides. The brisket melted as I tried to pick it up with my fork. No sauce needed make sure you enjoy the brisket as is! The ribs were so delicious with the dry rub I got on top. I was in a food coma for the rest of the day! The jalapeño corn bread WHO KNEW this was a thing and now that I know I never want to unknow it! Eat here please! Everyone needs to find this hidden bbq gem read more

Taking this drive out to CT was worth it as we happened to stumble upon Noble Smokehouse. The place has parking which is always a plus after a long drive and is in the beautiful town of Mystic. It was not far from the cider mill we went to and had so many options. For the amount of money you pay for the food the portions are large! Which is always a plus! The spot is small but was busy and the server/hostess was quite a delight and supper attentive. We truly enjoyed every bite of our food. The sweet potato , brisket Mac and Cheese and sandwiches plus meats were delicious and I honestly cannot stop thinking about them! The downside was that there was flies in the establishment due to an open window / door but that's no one fault so we opted to eat outside despite the chilly weather. Other than that we had a great time! read more

4 of us went on a rainy Monday at 1p in November. There was a good number of people in and out during our stay especially given that it was off season! And now I know why: the food is delicious! We made the plans to meet up there based on an article we read about them winning a best BBQ award and clearly they deserve the accolades. I had the small rack of ribs with choice of 2 sauces and 2 sides and Jalapeño corn bread that wasn't spicy but was sooooo good! The ribs were delectable, tastiness heightened with the exquisite sauces (I had the Kansas City and Nashville, but the KC was my fav!). I was reluctant to order the Cole slaw as a side since I rarely like it at most places but theirs was excellent and I'm so glad I got it. I also had a side of Mac'ncheese which I realized early on that I needed to save to take home. The portions were overwhelming! Don got a half a chicken with the same sides and said the smokiness of the chicken was so flavorful! Our friends had the pulled pork sandwich and the pastrami sandwich and they were both very satisfied. Great food with pleasant and helpful service? It's a winner and we'll certainly be back! read more

We had driven past this place for about a month before trying it and finally made the stop. Great decision! Got a combo with ribs and brisket, collards and beans, then added sausage. The tray was left Clean! The Brisket was my highlight and IMO didn't need any sauce at all. The sausage was awesome. Split and cooked till the edges got crisp. The ribs, great flavor but a touch dry, were great with a little dip in some sauce. Collards, unique, with a slight spicy but more vegetable broth flavor were tasty, And the beans had a nice slight sweetness i thought but enjoyed. Our waitress was great! Offering her favorites and suggestions of how we could try a variety of the meats. Sat outside on a lovely day and ate well! read more

Got off the train in Mystic not knowing what was going to have for dinner. Noble is located next to the station! Beautiful interior and friendly staff . Ordered the Kansas City wings with Alabama sauce, small Mac & Cheese & collard greens to go. Got to my destination and unpacked my dinner. Everything was cooked to perfection!! The greens were well seasoned and the Mac&Cheese was ohhhhsoooo creamy & delicious. This is a "must hit" spot when in or near Mystic - worth the trip. read more

Heading into the thick of downtown Mystic is not really our style, but we were motivated to try this (relatively) new BBQ joint. Plus, their location is enough off the beaten path that we didn't struggle to find parking. We sat outside on their cute little patio. It was a bit noisy because of the music & the kitchen ventilation system, but it was still nice to soak up the sun. I think our server's name was Mary (that's what was listed on the receipt @ the end) & she was excellent. When I asked about gluten-free items, she disappeared for a moment & came back out with a different menu. Everything underlined on this menu DOES contain gluten & I was pleasantly surprised to see that so much of Noble's food is safe for me to eat. Mary also had great recommendations. We ordered the pork belly burnt ends appetizer to start & it absolutely knocked our socks off. Some of the best $18 we've ever spent. We split a combination platter & went with slow smoked brisket & baby back ribs. For sides, we chose collard greens, cowboy beans, & coleslaw. Mary brought a side of jalapeño cheddar cornbread for my partner. The ribs were my favorite. The meat just slid off the bone. The coleslaw didn't wow us, but everything else was really great. We couldn't finish everything, so we took quite a bit home with us. I really appreciated how the containers for all of our sides just needed a lid to be taken to go. Solid 5/5 stars! Thank you Mary & thank you Noble Smokehouse. read more

After a wonderful day in Mystic, we stopped at Nobles Smokehouse for dinner. My husband and I split the Smokehouse Combination, with double mac & cheese for our side. Of course, we had to try every bbq sauce they offered. I can confidently say that you'll find a sauce (or 6) that you like! Connecticut might be known for seafood, but everything as this smokehouse was great! It's a cozy restaurant with great service. Highly recommend. read more

Noble Smokehouse - BBQ platter - Barbeque Near Me - Mystic, Connecticut

I'm driving to New England, my buddy loves to go to the same Connecticut Que spot. I said can we try something new on this trip? My nav is set to Noble Smokehouse in Mystic CT. Walking into Noble Smokehouse, its a BBQ'y type restaurant. Nothing fancy, just a few tables and BBQ pictures adorn the walls. It puts me in the mood for smoked meats. And thats what Noble Smokehouse does very well. There are great standard BBQ choices like BBQ Pulled Pork, Brisket and Ribs. I didn't want to get too full with a platter so I ordered a Pulled Pork sandwich with the choice of one side. My side choice is slaw to go with my sammy. What I didn't see were different BBQ sauces on the table. I was given a side of vinegar type sauce that came with my sandwich. When I built the sandwich topped with cole slaw, man oh man was it BBQ time. The pulled pork was moist and had a nice flavor. The bun that was served wasn't baked on premise but sourced locally. Forget fast food, you need to try Noble Smokehouse where the BBQ is made low and slow. Great job, I was very impressed with pulled pork sandwich. read more

Delicious BBQ. Generous portions and unique offerings. Cowboy beans and coleslaw are outstanding.

I was told this was a must stop for barbecue lovers. Unfortunately, it didn't away. I ordered the brisket platter with mac and cheese on the side. I found the brisket to be stringy, overly fatty, and a bit tough, as if it wasn't smoked long enough. Nowhere near as good as other bbq places I've visited like Wire Mill in Ridgefield, CT. The mac and cheese was piping hot and delicious. But the meat just didn't do it for me. read more

Great bbq the way it should be done. All the bbq sauces are delicious. Parking is easy and the restaurant is simple but very clean.

Opened in spring of 2021. This small but nice New England BBQ restaurant seems to have some great potential. Started with the Pork Belly burnt ends. This is definitely one of my favorites to find on a menu. They came out in a small serving fry box. Garnished with scallions. Their crispy top was a great touch though, my portion was well coated in bbq sauce. The mild acidity with the sauce helped with the fattiness. Just wished that the held off on the sauce just a little. The fat was well cooked and did break apart nicely upon crewing on them. For entree went with the 2 meat smokehouse combination. For the meats: brisket and Texas pulled pork. For the sides: southern slaw and collard greens and also their jalapeño cornbread. I picked their Kansas and South Carolina bbq sauces. For the brisket; this was brought out in the same small fry box as the pork belly burnt ends. Served with a small splash of bbq sauce on top. From what I can see, the use a foil is used to help with getting the meat to the desired consistency. I wish there was a more pronounced smoke ring present in the portion that I received. Bark was intact just wasn't as seasoned as I wish it could've been. They are definitely working in the right direction with their recipe. The mouth feel was nice and I was pleasantly satisfied with how the moist the meat was. Texas pulled pork; smoke ring was definitely more present in this meat than the brisket. With a great mouth feel and seasoning more inline with a SPG (salt, pepper and garlic) style found in Texas BBQ. Pulled pork was served as well with a small amount of sauce as well. This was nice to be able to mix in with the meat. Collard greens; this had to be the highlight of the tray for me. Great acidity and seasoning to offset the fattiness of the meat. Southern Slaw; this was slightly disappointing. I tasted it and it seemed to be almost like it was just a normal recipe found everywhere. This is usually a good addition I like to always have with my BBQ. As it works as a palate cleanser and a great way to reset before your next bite. Jalapeño cornbread; was moist and had whole corn kernels adding a nice texture and sweetness. Jalapeño wasn't over powering. This was a great ending to this meal Overall, I would say from the service to the presentation, to the meal this was what you would say was a standard New England BBQ. Serve was attentive to the table and knew about the menu. Though, presentation and seasoning was lacking in my opinion. Noble Smokehouse, is a good place to check out to try out your bbq palate. With the way they are going the future seems bright for them. read more
