After my daughters recital she wanted bbq. Now after encountering this company at a brewery with their truck we wanted to try the location. We each had the combo platter with Mac and slaw. The meat was a little dry but we were their past the height of dinner time. The kid had the oz bowl which is their best dish in my opinion. Hope to do this all over again soon. read more

See all

We were having a mini family reunion and ordered the food from OzN'Bones. We had never eaten there but took the chance based on recommendations from friends. So glad we did! Pick up was easy and the staff so friendly. The food was great and just enough for leftovers the next day. We almost over ordered on the ribs but Diane called and recommended half of our original order. Perfect! It's refreshing to deal with a caterer who understands proportions and we felt Diane really was looking out for us. We will definitely be going back to eat at the restaurant. Thank you OzN'Bones for a delicious BBQ! read more

Great bbq spot! Order first then go find your table. Good ambience, big portions, great flavor! Burnt ends are fantastic. Bring your appetite! read more

I've had the food a couple of times, and I look at these reviews and wonder if we went to the same place. The people are super friendly, and the service is great. But the food is just not good. Everything that we had could be summed up with the same three words: under-seasoned (bland), over-cooked (mushy), greasy. The meats, the beans, the mac and cheese, all of it. While I am not an expert, I know my way around a plate of barbecue, and I've made my own fair share of ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and mac and cheese. OzN'Bones misses the mark. Maybe with their new location they'll be able to put more care into the preparation and improve the outcome. read more

The best BBQ around. The nachos are my favorite! The food is consistently amazing, always fresh, and always flavorful.

Off Evening? Went with a larger party. Food came out cold and dry. Everything was over sauced before adding any sauce. That screams serving leftovers to me. Slaw was mediocre. Beans mediocre. Barely any smoke flavor on any of the meats. The wings were nice and crispy but were lacking flavor.

Absolutely amazing. We had them cater dessert for a Dinner event we were attending. The Southern Bourbon Banana Pudding might be one of the greatest dessert items I have ever tasted. The bbq and the sauces here are a dream. With Blues music playing in the background, dessert to go, this is the kind of place you want to come and stay awhile. Bring your friends, bring your family this place is AWESOME. read more

Best brisket ever! Awesome bacon mac and cheese and pretty good coleslaw ( I don't care much for coleslaw but this I ate. ) read more

Food was great. I picked up a To Go Order and was forced to Tip when paying with my card. I always tip but don't appreciate the forcing. Next time I will pay cash or not go. read more

We've had amazing meals at OzN'Bones. We frequent their brick and mortar in Colchester. Great food and cold beer served by friendly people in a cool old house converted to a restaurant. What more could you ask for ? read more

When my fiancée and I come here, the food is always good and the staff are very friendly. Tonight, it seems like they really kicked it up a notch or ten. I didn't think that they could top how awesome their bacon Mac and cheese is, but tonight they did. Usually, the brisket is pretty good. I e had better brisket at other places, but like I said, they kicked it up a lot. Whatever they did for the brisket tonight they need to do, because it rapidly became my favorite brisket to date. I can't say enough good things about this place. It's a little pricey, but the food and the service makes it all worth it. My fiancée and I are also, now, talking about having them cater our small wedding. This is a place that I think everyone who likes a barbecue and smokehouse food, this place is going to impress. read more

Love this place ! The mac and cheese bowls are delicious, beef brisket my favorite. Combo platters are generous portions and sides are yummy . The corn bread with maple butter is to die for ! Staff is always friendly - highly recommend. read more

Had brunch, food was very good, hash browns were delicious and very crispy. The egg sandwich was good. I opted for the original sauce, did not like the rooster sauce as much. The Mac n cheese was marginal , but all the bbq was really good and plentiful. Prices were very reasonable. Highly ret read more

This is a hidden gem! This place is in a little nook off the Colchester green. We went here for my sisters birthday with a large party. They not only accommodated our family, but gave us excellent customer service when it came to my niece & nephew, two very young kids. I was also very happy to see that the food offered options for everyone. I was worried at first that my boyfriend, who cannot eat pork, wouldn't have options, but he had plenty! For a barbecue place, it was impressive that they had even vegetarian dishes like cauliflower bites! The place was gorgeous- it's a big old white building with a ton of charm. The owner actually introduced himself and let us know that appreciated our business. SO SWEET. I definitely recommend coming here for your next night out. read more

This was a very delicious dinner and very filling! Couldn't eat it all. Staff are friendly. Place is very clean. If you live BBQ, you will not be disappointed! Great price also. read more

OzN'Bones BBQ - This is the Oz Bowl- Mac and cheese, baked beans and delicious pulled pork! - Caterers Near Me - Colchester, Connecticut

I don't know what it is about every barbecue joint I've tried in CT. But no one seems to know how to execute good barbecue. Sorry but I wasn't impressed. read more

My husband and I happened upon this cute little food truck! We were out getting soap and things from Walgreens and made a split second decision to get some food! I got the Oz Bowl with pulled pork! It came with meat of your choice, Mac & cheese, baked beans and sauce! Portion size was huge for the price! My husband got the enchiladas! We will definitely be back! read more

OzN'Bones BBQ - Caterers Near Me - Colchester, Connecticut

We went here for the first time tonight and it was absolutely AMAZING! After living in Texas for years, and going to every bbq place people in the area raves about (only to be disappointed), this exceeded all of my expectations. The food was amazing, the beer was great (These Guys Brewery beer on tap), and the people were absolutely phenomenal. We will be going back to try everything else on their menu. Tonight's order of pulled pork, brisket, beans, and cornbread was delicious. So were all 4 homemade bbq sauces. I can't say enough good things about this food and the people. See you guys soon! read more

Excellent serviceand great food. Love that you can try the different sauces. The cornbread was so good.

Wicked staff, friendly outgoing and helpful. The building outside is gorgeous, the inside is a gutted mansion, painted candyland pink and exceptionally clean. I had a bit of a wait for the facilities and after 6 folks I got my turn. Well supplied, everything spit spot clean. Only downside I could say if you had a wee bit of gas along with your deposit everyone in the dining room heard it. Now the food. BBQ brisket tasted like a pot roast, I did verify after that they had a smokehouse but no smoke ,no ring, no flavor. Kinda dry. Cornbread kinda dry and heavy. Spiced butter was just OK. Got an order of Mac and cheese with bacon. That bacon must have been good on another day...far in the past. I poured oil out of my container as the sauce broke a few days ago and creamy did not show up to the table. It was a leftover serving microwaved to death. Prices were decent for the generous portions but there must be quality. An effective spicing and application to the brisket is tantamount. Smoking requires wood and slow temps, this meat appeared to be finished in an oven and all connective tissue dissolved. The uber tender, juicy meat had been submitted to a forcible rendering of fat resulting in a pot roast. Not a spoon roast: a dry well done round roast. Cornbread needs a cast iron pan to crisp edges and perhaps a bit more butter. Offer a simple cornbread with an option for plain butter, decent swab of the stuff. I read your story and really wanted to glow you up. But I need fresh, smoke and fire with a flourish of spice. read more

Some of the best BBQ I've had in a while. Very friendly staff, especially on a busy Saturday afternoon.

Very limited menu, nothing for a Keto diet, not much for a vegan or vegetarian. Food was nearly cold, nearly flavorless. Used stop in to this location, NuNu's, on our way through. We miss; Mount Etna Muscles, NuNu's Antipasto, Italian Sausage & Mushrooms, Chicken Elena, Lime Rickey, and, oh, so much more. Decor is late outhouse style. These folks should have stuck with their food truck. If you want good 'Q' stop at Bear's - https://bearsbbq.com/windsor read more

We found this place at a Brewery and really enjoyed it! I split the brisket sandwich with coleslaw and the pulled pork nachos. The brisket sandwich was pretty good. The brisket was a bit tough and not warm. The coleslaw was really good and it complimented the sandwich nicely. I used the maple bourbon BBQ sauce but I didn't get much maple or bourbon flavor. The nachos were really good! The chips are homemade and the pulled pork was delicious. The cheese sauce on them was excellent. Overall would definitely eat there again! read more

Got to sample OzNBones at Hop Culture Brewing company this past weekend. The good? The pulled pork, and pulled pork nachos were amazing. The bad? The brisket was very chewy and not that tasty. The smoke flavor could be better, but overall the place had some great good. Can't wait to try them again at some point. read more

Stopped here to eat on a whim and let me tell you something... This place is so great! The food is seasoned to perfection and the service is wonderful! Come on down you will not regret it! read more

I've had their food three times and each time it's delicious. If you're in the mood for bbq this is the place to go. The bbq bowls are where it's at. It consists of Mac and cheese, baked beans, and your choice of pulled chicken, pork, or brisket with your choice of bbq sauce on top. read more

My family just had a function today with about 55 guests at the relatively new Oz N Bones restaurant, and man do they know how to do BBQ! Diane is wonderful to work with, adapting to accommodate our needs. The staff is so friendly we felt right at home. Many BBQs use 4-5 alarm heat to hide lack of flavor. Oz N Bones knows how to give you their great flavor while leaving the lining of your GI tract intact. And their side veggie platter, slaw, mac/cheese/bacon, baked beans, cornbread, corn on the cob, and sauces are perfect compliments to all of their meat selections. My wife & I have had their sandwiches too, except there's so much we couldn't finish them. Very convenient - right off the iconic Colchester green. If you like great BBQ flavor, you won't be disappointed! read more

Food is decent but be prepared for a long wait! Really not acceptable for food that is generally already cooked! I called ahead and still waited over 15 minutes from when they said it would be ready. A woman before me had been waiting longer. The gentleman packing the orders did NOT make the situation better. The cashier tried to provide service recovery and was apologetic. Too many people out front! Get them in back packing orders. People are not going to keep coming when you make them wait so long! At least be realistic about how long it is going to take. read more

My husband and I we're given a gift certificate to here. We went Saturday for an early dinner. I have to say I was not impressed. You should smell bbq as soon as you get out of the vehicle. I did not. That is not a good sign. You walk in and place your order (this is ok, little for room but not bad). You are given a small remote that vibrates when your order is ready (still not bad, a lot of places do that). You go around the corner to get your choice of sauce and napkins. Go a few more steps and you can order an adult beverage. We got our drinks and went outside to sit at the picnic tables up front. It wasn't long before our remote was buzzing away. My husband went in while I watched our drinks. I got pulled pork, Mac n cheese and slaw. Hubby got the ribs and same sides. The slaw was okay, a little warm. My pork wasn't hot or remotely warm at all. Flavor was there but it was just room temperature. Same with the Mac n cheese. The same also goes for the ribs, except not much flavor. Good thing they have sauce options. We picked at everything on our trays, not enthused at all at this point. I had had enough and went inside to get to-go containers. We reheated our meals tonight and what a difference a little temperature can do! I wouldn't recommend this place unless you are taking out and heating at home. read more

Service is friendly. Nice large picnic table area out front. Ample parking. First red flag: no smoke smell when getting out of the car. No a la carte ordering options on the menu for meats. You have to buy a dinner or combo dinner. I do appreciate that they serve food in biodegradable containers, but literally within 3 minutes of picking up our food,one container had completely dissolved on a bottom corner and a large puddle of liquid was all over the place. (Why is there so much Waterloo liquid in teh meat?). Ok, the food. I've eaten good BBQ all over the southeast. This is not it. The pulled pork and brisket I ordered, while quantity was good, tasted and looked like it came out of a crock pot. the PP was very wet, stringy, and lacked smoke flavor. There were no pieces with bark, just wet stringy meat with a sweet sauce. The brisket also lacked smoke flavor, had no telltale pink smoke ring, no bark, and was chipped up like it had been coarsely chopped. Wet, soggy. The cornbread serving was minuscule. Dill potato salad was good, cole slaw was standard. Chester's in Groton and Uncle D's in Norwich has much better Q. read more

They are super friendly when you come into order. I've had the brisket bowl it was so big I had to take it home for left overs and the smoked sweet chilli wings are to die for. It's delicious homemade food. Nice BBQ flare! read more

Great food, great people, and now a great "Brick & Mortar" restaurant in a beautifully remodeled old building off the Colechester Green. If you love BBQ you'll appreciate the smoking dedication served here! read more

Took the family in after my son's soccer game this past weekend. Phenomenal service, great beer selection and some of the best BBQ I've had. We had a group of 10 and ordered just about everything. The BBQ Chicken and Brisket was excellent. The chicken poppers were out of this world. Wings....amazing. Nachos....amazing, pulled pork....amazing! Beautiful interior, super clean. No complaints whatsoever! Can't wait until we have another game in Colchester! read more

Great food, friendly owners. Reasonable prices. We have been twice and both good experiences

Ordered rack of ribs for the third time. Did not care for them first time. Gave them a second chance and was very disappointed. This third time I gave them another go because they opened up the new restaurant. Full rack was very fatty and greasy inside. Not slow and low. No more chances. :-/ read more

Amazing atmosphere and food. Great staff! Well done. True in form. Love the smoked everything.

Disappointed - ribs were fatty and lacked flavor. Were run of the mill supermarket large bone fair type ribs. Baked beans were pasty and somewhat gummy, Coleslaw bland. Was really disappointed. Service was excellent and friendly - smoke some baby back ribs and I might give a second chance. I'm just not a mac & cheese individual. read more

I'm from the south and am super picky about my bbq! These guys are the real deal and are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

This review is long overdue, but a must! We had Chris cater our wedding barbecue back in August, and the food was TO DIE FOR. He was very accessible and clear during the planning phases, and on the day of the event, was incredibly friendly and efficient with setup. Most importantly, my family is still raving about the food! We fed carnivores /omnivores, vegetarians, vegans, and celiacs all with the same menu. And, we were using the leftover BBQ sauce for months. Call Oz-n-bones, and you'll be thrilled you did! read more
