    I feel bad admitting this but this smokehouse is better than my dads cooking. This place is 100/10 when it comes to the taste of food. I haven't come here in the winter but I am sure the vibes are the same. The service is quick, attentive and helpful. They're always good at recommending things if you aren't sure what you want and I promise they never disappoint. As you can see my pup was accepted here and I loved that everyone was nice and quick with everything we asked for. It's been a couple times coming here and I will definitely be back. I'm not too big on smoked food but this place is elevated with taste! I promise!

    Taino Mac and Cheese

    Comfort food at its best. The mac was delicious, and best of all, the service was fast. We prefer this place over the one in Meriden.

    This place is located next to a hardware store with a frightening looking parking lot, but stop your judging right there, because this place is terrific!! Got the brisket platter - totally agree, the crust is a wee bit salty, but rest is top notch. Loved the collard greens and mac and cheese. The corn muffin is a tiny bit sweet, but really moist and tasty. A very reasonable price for a LOT of good food!

    The portions on the menu were fair but not really great. We sat outside despite the rain. And the waitress was nice but she kept mixing up our order. In the end, I got the next table's bill and they got mine. I didn't realize until we were half an hour drive away. It would've been $15 less difference so whatever I let it go, but yea I mean it's my fault for not checking after the waitress brought out the wrong drink and mixed up My food order. Taste wise everything was good, basic bbq, no frills. You get what you order that's all.

    Brisket Ciabatta

    Taino is fantastic! I've been a few times and keep going back to the Brisket Ciabatta that comes with homemade chips, arugula and a horseradish cream sauce. The brisket is tender and flavorful and just the right amount of fat and juice. Their wings have great flavor and a nice crisp to them. The team is super accommodating but since it's a BBQ joint, most foods are cooked ahead and therefore are limited in allergy options.

    Best BBQ in ct ! This smokehouse is an awesome place to eat! Or pick up food to go like I usually do. Staff are friendly too. My favorite meal is the St. Louis ribs with the garlic mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. The pulled pork is also amazing! I can't forget the corn bread it's delicious they have a secret cinnamon butter they put on top of it and it's so good! Food is Definitely worth the price!

    This is the best BBQ you can possibly find in the Northeast, and by the Northeast I mean to include…read moreNY and anything north of Maryland for that matter Best ribs I've ever had, and don't pass on the cheesy mash Thanks Bryan

    Stopped in just after 11am this morning. Wanted to order a 1/2 rack of Spare Ribs & a 1/2# of…read moreBrisket, but the Spare Ribs were not available at that time. So I did get the Brisket, and I also decided on a 1/2# of the Pulled Pork instead of the Ribs. I was underwhelmed with the Brisket, it was dry. Went back inside for some vinegar based sauce, the gentleman provided me some in a small cup. Although the sauce certainly did help flavor the Brisket, it was extremely spicy. BBQ, IMO, should not be spicy. The Pulled Pork was very good though, fresh & flavorful. I suspect that the Brisket was old, from yesterday, based on the lack of flavor compared to the fresh Pulled Pork (and that I had walked in just after Royster's had opened for business this morning). The Pitmaster knows what he is doing, he was just trying to cut corners. I've had plenty of BBQ when I lived in the South, the Pulled Pork was a good as any I had when I lived down there. There shouldn't be that much disparity between the quality of the meats. Disappointing, because it's hard to find real Q North of Mason-Dixon line. Inconsistent makes me ponder on whether I want to come back again a 2nd time. Maybe, maybe not. Now I'm indecisive, not good. So for now, I have to give Royster's BBQ Company in Cheshire a weak 3 Star rating. If I'm in the area and get a chance to drop in again, I'll post an update.
