Over the weekend, my family and I had a feast at The Cue in Danbury!…read more This establishment is on the side of a busy road, so it might be tough to see at first. Luckily, there is plenty of space for parking. The restaurant has a good amount of outdoor and indoor seating. Its wood accented interior and warm lighting gives off a southern smokehouse feel, which is very on theme to the food they are serving. Ambiance rate: 8/10. They start off with unlimited corn bread which tasted okay, nothing super special. Rate: 5/10. My family and I ordered... 1. Crispy Pork Belly (from the pit) w/ a side of onion rings: This dish was delicious! The meat was nice and juicy, and the skin was super crispy! Rate: 9/10. - The onion rings were also very tasty and crispy! Rate: 9/10. One negative about this dish is it was a small portion of both meat and side for $23. 2. Table for 4: This consisted of an array of different meats from their pit, as well as 4 sides. As a whole, the portions were very generous, making it a very filling meal, and worth the cost. - Full Rack of Baby Back Ribs: This was flavorful however, the meat was very rubbery. It wasn't falling off the bone which was unfortunate. Rate: 6/10. - Brisket: This was my favorite meat! It was super tender and consisted of a good amount of fattiness! Rate: 10/10. - Dry Rubbed Chicken: This was average, tasted like your regular chicken. Rate: 5/10. - Smoked Sausage: This had a great smoky flavor to it making it very yummy! Rate: 8/10. - Pulled Pork: This was okay in terms of flavor and tenderness. Rate: 7/10. The 4 sides: 1. Truffle Mac n Cheese: This was good, except it lacked a truffle flavor which was disappointing. Rate: 6.5/10. 2. Mashed Potato-Brisket Gravy: This was average, nothing special: Rate: 5/10. 3. Baked Creamed Spinach: This was good, but it was more watery than I would've liked. Rate: 7/10. 4. Sweet Potato Fries: If you're a fan of sweet potato fries, these are right up your alley. Unfortunately, I can't give a fair rating since I don't like sweet potato fries. To add on, they give a variety of their different barbecue sauces which was amazing. My favorite was the Apricot Horseradish! The staff were very nice and helpful! Staff/service rate: 8/10. Overall, they hit the spot with some of their meats and sides, while others didn't. However, if you're in the area, it's worth trying their American barbecue!

She was THRILLED Thank you all so much! The service was perfection, the food was superb (plenty of vegan and vegetarian options), and everyone was incredibly nice. It was our first time there and we'll be back for sure!

The wings are smoked to perfection and our table loved the garlic parmesan. Super savory and the sharp parm hits every time. I used about every napkin in sight and won't apologize for it. I could eat the brisket grilled cheese every day of the week. Buttered up and toasted to perfection. The chopped brisket and melted cheddar go together forever. The Holy Texas Trinity will feed a hungry family of four without a question. Smoked jalapeño cheese sausages will change your life. Created in house by CT's self proclaimed sausage king Tyler. The brisket is ridiculously flavorful and the slices are very generous. Ribs were cooked well and dip nice with the table sauces. Cornbread is so fat and tasty I would commit crimes for a whole tray. All washed down with a cold Two Roads Honey Spot.

Honestly, the food was very good and there are lots of sides that can be ordered by vegetarians,…read morewhich is unusual for a BBQ joint. Had smoked turkey and sides of the beans, potato salad and collard greens. The sides were all meat-free, which was great because a lot of BBQ places put meat in all their vegetable sides, too. Liked having two kinds of BBQ sauce on the table (one sweet, one with mustard), and the French fries were decent. My partner asked for lean brisket, and it actually showed up lean. Someone else at the table asked for it fatty, and that's how it came. I do wish they offered a platter with a choice of meat and two sides for a good price, like many BBQ joints, but in the end, I figured out how to make it work (hint: order a sandwich). Would come here again.

Tonight I had their beat and goat cheese side salad for six dollars and there's smoked chicken wings and men where they both terrific. I've had their pulled pork sandwich and also very very good. Service is top-notch and you get to sit out back and eat outside amongst the golfers and sunset. Highly recommended

Wire Mill BBQ is hands down the best barbecue around. Everything about this place is done right,…read morefrom the food to the service. We recently ordered the takeout family feast for 5-7 people, and it was a huge hit, everyone couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The chicken in particular was outstanding, packed with flavor and incredibly tender and juicy. Their BBQ sauces are another highlight. There is a great variety, and each one adds something different to the meal, especially with the pulled pork, they go great with it. We also ordered the smoked wings, which were amazing, great smoke flavor, perfectly cooked, and just all around top tier. On top of the food, the staff is very friendly and clearly goes out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. Highly recommend, this place does BBQ right.

Favorite place to eat in all of CT. This is a casual Brazilian deli where you pick your own food…read morefrom a salad and hot bar and request meat from the meat carving station afterwards. This is an extremely popular blue collar spot in Danbury that became really special to me as a undergrad student and has remained an amazing place. The Pao de queijo is amazing with the right balance of chewiness with a nice crust on the outside. Picanha and beef ribs are also outstanding-- the ribs are incredibly rich, tender and flavorful. The beans are also seasoned to perfection. Hot bar is also really nice and overall you can make a really satisfying, personalized meal for yourself at a reasonable cost. I recommend coming before 9 PM because they start running out of stuff and hot bar looks rough at night. Also definitely give the complimentary spicy peppers in oil a try-- super spicy but delicious.

There is always a long line. But that's because they're that good. Is the line worth it. YES!!…read more The steak is great. We always take it home. My tip: order rare, so when it gets home it isn't overcooked. We have ordered delivery but the steak comes overcooked so it's better to actually go there. Also, when you order via door dash they don't give options for the pork and pineapple. If you haven't, give this place a try. Worth it.

Seriously impressed by the food at La Promesa! This spot is serving some of the best Latin cuisine…read morewe've had in the western part of Connecticut. It's not often you find Guatemalan and Salvadoran cuisine, but this spot is doing it authentically! Everything here is so delicious and made fresh. This is the first spot I've ever tried pupusas at, and I'm obsessed now! The family that runs this spot were so kind and clearly care so much about their restaurant. Surviving the pandemic and several location changes is just a testament to how fantastic the food and service are here. Breakfast is served all day, and they even have a mini golf course in the back! Such a nice family-friend spot!

This place is a must try for anyone that likes fresh, authentic Latin food (Gautamalan and…read moreMexican). Everything was homemade including the corn tortillas, and the shrimp was definitely fresh as well. I knew this place had potential based on other reviews, however it definitely exceeded our expectations. The pupusas were as good as we have had and much better than most of any we have had in the past. We had the Churrasco platter and the another platter that had steak, shrimp and chicken with rice (not instant), beans, fresh macaroni salad (fantastic) hot pepper and scallion and it was all exceptional. The owner's are also very friendly and down to earth. This is a place that has mini golf in the back which is great if you are looking for something additional to do, however the food is definitely the main reason to come here.
