We sat in a booth and our food came out fast. I loved that there were four kinds of bbq sauces to choose from. The house was my favorite the Jamaican and heat/Spicy were too hot for me. We both selected two meat plates with brisket and burnt ends. Both were good but the burnt ends were the best. The cornbread side was delicious and the Mac in cheese was a HUGE hit probably our fave side of the 4 we tried. The coleslaw and potato salad were also good. I'd eat here again if in the area for a concert. The place was comfortable with booths and tables and quick counter ordering and paying. It was a good find and I'd definitely come back.

BBQ sauce should not be the item used to rescue the overcooked meat. I had brisket, it was ok. The corn bread tasted like it was kept in the warmer from before Christmas, would have been great for croutons. Very little smoke flavor in any of the meat. Long gone is the Kansas City style rub. I miss when bears had two locations and there was attention to quality. If you are in the area, need a spot that can sit a group with no problem, and are ok with pay for below average BBQ; then Bear's is a good choice. Otherwise, I would recommend trying something else. Service was great. The people working at the location are awesome.

My last…read morefine, hindsight in Waterbury, I do love, but it's far from getting a bang for your buck and in all honesty, after being to Ricky D's on two separate trips, I have to say, Ricky Dee's steals a spot! First off let's talk about the dishes they offer com... The combination platters are worth it in terms of price and portion, and when it comes to taste and quality, absolutely exceptional! Ricky really takes passion in what he does. His pulled pork is so moist and tender and so rich and flavor. The ribs are so soft and melt in your mouth and absolutely flavorful. As for the brisket, simply unreal. The perfect amount of crunch on the outside with such moist meat inside. The size are just as delicious, the baked sweet potatoes are so full of flavor and the mac & cheese is quite tasty, but I do wish it was much creamier, as I myself like a mean, creamy mac & cheese, oozing with cheese, and this one doesn't quite have it, but it does have good flavor. The baked beans scored well too. This place does hot offer inside seating, with about six tables. Beverages are not typical of New Haven as they do not offer Fox and Park but typical soda is such as Sprite, Coke and iced teas. Out of all the barbecue places we have visited, this one by four brings the biggest bank to your buck while I'm not infringing on taste and quality. This is a little bit of a hike for me, but so very well worth it. Staff is great and so proud to do what they do and it shows and tastes it!

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.

I really want to give this a 2 because Brian the owner is super friendly but it just was a very…read morestrange experience. Tried to order online and it was super confusing. $10 extra for spare ribs FYI on the meat combo. We ended up calling because it didn't specify that on the website and we weren't sure. When calling he didn't give us a total so it was in fact $10 extra for that so that was a surprise picking up. $70 for 3 combo meals. Pretty pricey. They give you a nice "tray" to take your food so that was nice. Atmosphere a bit odd. I'm in food service...so it was a bit gross that the owner was pouring bbq sauce from a large vat into small bottles right by the front where your customers are walking in (should be done in the back) and I believe there was a dog bed on the floor. Ok onto the food. My mom's spare ribs were red. Definitely not cooked enough. She was worried she could get sick. She called and he said that's how they are supposed to be cooked but she ended up throwing them out. The sides were unfortunately not good either. Mushrooms and mashed potatoes overpowering smoke flavor and very salty. Pulled pork ok. Bbq sauce not very good either. Mac and cheese lacked flavor.

We got our soup bases first, rice, then meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles, everything arrived quickly and stayed stocked. Service was great and our waitress Dana was nice. A few things were disappointing though: the grill wasn't centered on the table and kept turning off, which made cooking a little frustrating and cramped. This location also doesn't offer crab legs (even though we saw them online), which was a big letdown for my daughter. The sauce/appetizer station was just wack, the dessert area was really lacking no ice cream, only sponge cake and some stale looking popcorn. Dana did bring our table 1 cupcake, which was sweet of her. Overall, we had fun and left full after about 1.5 hours, (limit is 2) but the desserts, missing crab legs, and grill issues make me not want to return. The food itself was fresh and flavorful, though, and service was fast and friendly.

Ribs: not meaty at all what was there was not tender. The sauce was fine. Fries: I was told they cut the fries fresh themselves. That's believable however I don't think they were cooked to order. A bit soggy. Corn bread: was more like corn cake. I like cornbread with some texture. My friend had the ribs too with sides of corn and Cole slaw. Apparently those sides were pretty good. Four stars for the staff and two stars for the food.

I recently visited The Rib House in East Haven and had a bit of a mixed experience…read more First, I want to say that our server Jessica was very pleasant and attentive, and the service overall was great. The drinks were also pretty good. I'd give them about an 8 out of 10, so no complaints there. Where things became frustrating was with the Build Your Own burger pricing. The base burger (1/2 lb charbroiled beef) was $14.95, which seemed reasonable at first. However, I was surprised to see how quickly the price climbed once a few basic toppings were added. Here's how the burger ended up breaking down: Base burger: $14.95 Bacon: $6.00 Fried egg: $4.00 American cheese: $1.95 Mayo: $1.00 That brought the burger to $27.90 before tax, which is nearly double the base price for what most people would consider a fairly standard bacon, egg, and cheese burger. I understand charging for add-ons, but $6 for bacon and $4 for a fried egg feels excessive, and it was surprising to see the cost climb that high so quickly. Overall, the service was great and the drinks were solid, but the burger pricing left me pretty disappointed. It is safe to say that if I were to return to this restaurant, I would not be selecting a burger again.
