My sweet husband was kind to bring home the Extra sharp Mac & Cheese for me. I'm on diet restrictions and it wasn't heavily seasoned like others. Friday is homemade pizza night for us. So after a few bites I decided to make Mac & Cheese pizza with it, sprinkled some cheddar cheese (why not? We love cheese!) and julienned some fresh picked basil on top of Sourdough pizza dough. It was a Major hit and is moved into our pizza rotation! The Mac & Cheese is vegetarian, I didn't detect the usual saltiness as I do when eating out! Thank you Todd, I now have a second place to grab a meal! read more

Rate: 3.5 We've always been to The Garlic whenever we visited Killington and we got tired of it lol so when I found this BBQ place I thought it was a perfect timing to try new place. This place is on the corner of the big building and the restaurant sign is not that outstanding. There are plenty of parking spots in the front. It looks like a father&son own business. They are friendly but they need to separate the line for walk-in and order pickup to avoid confusion. We got cheddar jalapeño sausage, Bacon&Onion Smoked Beans, 1lb of brisket, and dry rubbed whole rack of pork ribs. Cheese jalapeno sausage and brisket were pretty good. Bacon&Onion Smoked Beans were a bit on sweet side but mixed well with meat dishes. I was really disappointing about the ribs. They were bland and the flavor was not there. The reason is definitely because they only put the dry rub on the ribs when we picked them up. The meat was a bit hard and a lot of fatty parts. I really wish they marinated the ribs longer than that. There are 2 types of pork ribs, the bbq sauce and the dry rubbed. I would try and go back for one more time to try the bbq sauce ones and see if they would taste better. read more

absolutely incredible food. Such good service too. We ordered online for pick up, and when we went to the store for pick up, we commented on how great the pickles looked in one of their pictures in store. And they gave us a bucket of pickle complementary with our order. Just so sweet. The pulled pork, ribs, brisket? Delicious. I would 1000% recommend if you are in the area!! read more

Stopped at this place along the side of the highway after hiking nearby. They have a huge smoker by the parking lot and the BBQ is done to perfection. I tried the brisket and pulled pork. You also can't go wrong with a side of slaw and Mac and cheese. read more

One of the best, most tender briskets, I have ever eaten. The pineapple slaw was a nice surprise. The owner made us feel welcome and came by and talked with us about his business journey. The restaurant is open sitting with some tables outside for your enjoyment. Only booths inside, deco of the area. read more

Delicious!! The redneck sundae is so good. Get the bbq sauce on the side so you don't miss any of the amazing Mac and cheese flavor!

We recently had Restoration BBQ cater a party for 30 people for a 50th anniversary party. Todd and his crew were a pleasure to work with. Food arrived at our house hot and a few minutes earlier than scheduled. The Ribs and the Beef and Turkey Brisket were outstanding, as were the blueberry and maple corn breads, coleslaw, and corn buns. Lots of food that lasted for two meals for the partygoers and another five meals for us after the crowd left. Highly recommended for your next party or for just a dinner at their restaurant. read more

Absolutely great bbq, and sides. I was first introduced to them 2 years ago, at my employer's open house. Everyone thought it was great, we had roughly 3000 people attend the open house, great job guys. Besides the bbq, they also have great side, such as mac and cheese, and pickled onions. Besides the food truck, its also available at Forest Dale Grocery and Deli in Brandon Vt. I highly recommend giving them a try. Stop in, and say hello to some very nice people. read more

This is some of the best bbq I have had in a while! Brisket is nice with just salt and pepper instead of a heavy rub. Smoked turkey the same. Very clean taste and absolutely delicious. The meats really shine here! The jalapeño cheddar smoked sausage is bomb! Mac and cheese is homemade and out of this world. The owners and counter help are super friendly and welcoming. It is order/pickup at the counter and seat yourself. The restaurant was super clean and modern. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and grab a bite! read more

We spend our summers in the Rutland area and are so happy to have found Restoration Barbecue! They catered a small event for us on short notice and everything was wonderful! They even met us 1/2 way on a day they weren't technically open. Service and food like that will make us a customer for a long, long time! read more

Crazy good BBQ!! Pulled pork and sides were fantastic. Huge addition to the Rutland food scene and well worth coming off the mountain to pick up! read more

Tried 2 years ago and thought the brisket was too fatty & they were extremely over priced. Tried again last weekend and still not impressed. The mac & cheese had an unfamiliar taste (caraway) and was mushy. The pork sandwich pieces were so big, it was hard to eat on a sandwich and was very dry. The brisket sandwich was so good, as was the sauce and pickles. Too expensive for what you do get, sadly not worth it. read more

I am originally from Tennessee but now call Vermont my home. It's not that all bbq here is bad, there's just not much of it that's good or "authentic." I saw the trailer for restoration bbq (right now they're only open on Saturday) and I pulled in and got two brisket sandwiches. I've been every Saturday since! I haven't had the full menu but the brisket is truly awesome and the pulled pork is also amazing. Hope they become a more permanent fixture!! read more
