$9.20 sausage. It's burned and dry. I Just don't understand why this would be served.
Ciara H.

Ordered delivery and received this sausage. Most of our order was missing but I'm guessing that's because those items were not available. We received one order and this piece of sausage. We're so disappointed. Not because of the missing items or the fact that only one of us will have dinner tonight but because of that sad sad sausage. It's so so old and dry. I don't understand. It's nothing at all like the ones on the pictures. Edit: We tried to make the best of it and eat the one other thing that arrived. Was the brisket. It was not ok. Very rubbery. Like when you cook brisket but too quickly and the connective tissue never breaks down before it gets dry. The two sides it came with were left uneaten as well but that's really a matter of preference. The potatoes were so, so peppery and the mushrooms had a really weird old sock taste. I love mushrooms. This was out of the ordinary. Not pleased with any of it.

Lunch time BBQ spread
Santosh H.

I wasn't even aware that cheshire had a bbq place and tried a quick grab and go for lunch. Got a little sample of brisket, ribs, smoked mushrooms, cheese&jalapeños sausage. And the Mac and cheese. Even tried the stuffed cream cheese jalapeños wrapped in bacon. The owner is a good laugh to chat to and very friendly. He even gave us a couple of samples to try. Came home and served it up on a wood board to enjoy. The Mrs and I work remotely but off course nothing else got done with that food coma. Left overs were great for the kids when they got back from school. All delish and juicy meats but I did go early before noon. I told the neighbors about the bbq goodness but he wasn't as impressed but maybe that's because he went late in the afternoon and it was dry. Not sure what he got, but my Experience was two thumbs up!!

Smoked Buffalo Chicken Dip and smoked Chicken Wings
Marney R.

Tried to order last night for their anniversary celebration but they sold out of the buffalo dip. I noticed they posted on social media they had more today. I just happen to be driving by. The dip is insanely delicious! The flavors are simple but somehow outstanding because they are smoked. My son loved the brisket definitely not dried out which is always a risk when trying new to us brisket. The smoked wings sealed in the juices and when topped with the bbq sauce has a delicious flavor with just enough kick. The service was just as good as the food! Owner was helping with my order and he was very helpful and friendly! Can't wait to order more!

Maple Bacon Cornbread

Wow!! I just can't say anything more than that. I've traveled a lot for business in my career, and I've been to most of the big BBQ places in the country (Texas, NC, SC, Kansas City, etc) and Roysters just brings it! First and foremost the meats have to stand on their own, (without extra sauces) and they absolutely do. You can tell the owners love what they do because it comes through in the food. I had Brisket and Pulled Pork both of which were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Then there were the sauces which bring big time flavor and heat. The mustard based BBQ inspired (I assume) from SC is just over the top. Easily some of the best I've had. The baked beans were incredible bringing both heat and smoke flavor which were delicious. Smoked mushrooms, Maple Bacon Cornbread and Mac/Cheese all great. This is some of the best BBQ around. Will definitely be back. Wow!

Mac n cheese

Excellent! You can smell the cherry wood smoke before entering, This place is authentic and everything we ate was prepared by Brian, the owner. He explained how he cooks the food as he got our order ready. Very friendly guy and helpful. He got us trays because even though we ordered takeout, we were chowing down at the counter in front of t The cash register. The pulled pork was melt in your mouth delicious. The brisket was perfect, lean yet juicy, the burnt ends are marshmallow cube style mixed with sauce. Only real cheese is used for the Mac n cheese, which was the best I've ever tasted. Coleslaw was on target as well, not too sweet or tangy, just right. This is food the way you want it, prepared by someone who has pride in what he delivers. Down home BBQ midwestern style. A lost art in our chain restaurant culture. I should mention that for dessert, we ordered banana pudding, also delicious. I don't know what Brian's secret recipe is but we'll be back! He told us he's serving corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day. Can't wait to try some. My son is a huge BBQ fan and said this is the best he's tasted, even when comparing it to Texas fare. Royster's is located behind a DQ off Route 10. There's not a lot of sitting room apart from wall counter space, so it's best to do takeout. Eat the BBQ while it's hot and fresh and you too will be promising to return for more,

9/1/23 Cool wall hangings over the little dining counter.

9/1/23 My first time having Barbeque from Royster's, and I'm going to award it four stars, although my impression was more like 3-1/2 stars. I'll explain why. First of all, there's plenty of parking for this out of the way little place. There's VERY limited seating (only 4 chairs with countertop seating), but that doesn't affect my rating. Most any decent Barbecue joint only has a few seats, and there are two picnic tables right outside, which we chose to sit at on this perfect first day of September. Now to the meat of my review (pardon the pun). I ordered a full rack of St.Louis style ribs, a small order each of mac & cheese, and baked beans, and a side of maple bacon cornbread. First the ribs: they were very meaty, not fatty, smoked to perfection, falling off the bone and nice and moist, but unfortunately this rack of ribs was tough and chewy. Not really forgivable considering the price I paid and that they were otherwise perfect. The baked beans were just that; baked beans in a somewhat flavorless sauce that was watery, and had no pork fat, bits of onion, or molasses to give them flavor. That's easily rectified, but for five bucks for a small container, I'd expect better. The mac & cheese was a high point, with great cheesy flavor, and the maple bacon cornbread was sweet, moist and delicious. (They need to put some that bacon in their baked beans). They also offer a traditional cornbread for those who prefer it. Sounds like I was very dissatisfied with my meal, but all these nits are easily rectified if the owner pays attention to legitimate criticism. I'll give Royster's BBQ another swing at the ball in the future and hope it's better. Not bad as it was, can just be better IMO.

The family had errands in the area so we planned to have lunch at Smokin' With Chris. Not knowing,…read morewe entered through their bar door. The man behind the bar and a very polite server told us there was another entrance but brought us through and seated us at a table. Our son insisted on starting with the wings. I tried one and was impressed. It was cooked crispy and the chicken was juicy. We ended up finding a few pieces with issues and they were quickly replaced with a new batch. We tried the pulled pork & brisket. My son and I preferred the brisket while my husband liked the pulled pork. Many great sauces were shared. The super nice waitress told us which was which, but honestly they were both good.

My wife and I have come to fall more and more in love with Smokin' With Chris as time goes by. You…read moredon't need to travel to Kentucky for this Bourbon style pit BBQ cuisine but if you close your eyes, you'll think you have. The pork belly burnt ends with collard greens and cornbread has become my favorite. The flavors of each item is stellar but together in one bite? Explosive in the best ways. Strong family vibes and friendly staff give you a real sense of south/western hospitality. I've personally been there a half dozen times and the consistency of their amazing choices never disappoints. The prices are VERY reasonable as many great options (like my favorite) can be scored for under $20 a plate. We also didn't wait long for a seat and our food came out quick and obviously fresh and made to order. Load up the family and bring a big appetite! This is a great place to make yourself at home and "sit a spell."
