Growing up in Texas, barbecue isn't just something you eat, it's part of who you are. I've spent a…read morelifetime standing in line at legendary smokehouses, watching pitmasters tend post oak fires through the night, and judging brisket by its bark before I ever take the first bite. So, I'll admit, I approached a barbecue restaurant north of the Mason-Dixon Line with equal parts curiosity and skepticism. What first caught my eye at Wildwood Barbeque was the stack of firewood out back. That always gets a Texan's attention. I never spotted a traditional offset smoker, though. Walking through the front door, I picked up the unmistakable aroma of hickory, and maybe a touch of apple smoke, which immediately put my senses on high alert. A glance toward the kitchen revealed one of those modern hybrid smoker ovens. Purists may debate them, but at the end of the day the food is what matters. One look at the menu made it clear Wildwood isn't trying to be a bare-bones barbecue joint. It's a full-fledged Southern restaurant serving burgers, po'boys, salads, sandwiches, Cajun favorites, comfort food, and smoked meats. Before I even ordered, though, my eyes wandered to the dessert case where the cake slices looked big enough to have their own ZIP code. Around Texas, we'd simply say they're as big as a county. I kicked things off with an order of burnt ends before settling on the sweet tea-brined smoked chicken. The burnt ends arrived carrying a wonderful kiss of hardwood smoke and what tasted like a light coating of barbecue sauce. They were cut into small cubes, and while several pieces were tender and flavorful, others received too much time in the pit. The smoked chicken, however, was the star of the meal. Every bite carried the subtle sweetness of the tea brine, balanced by a well-seasoned rub that finished with just enough spice to keep things interesting. It was juicy, smoky, and thoughtfully prepared. The lone disappointment was the potato salad. As someone who's eaten just about every version served from Texas smokehouses, from mustard-based Hill Country recipes to creamy East Texas family traditions, I honestly couldn't figure out what this one was trying to be. It lacked the character and comforting simplicity that make potato salad the perfect barbecue side. Wildwood may not transport you to Lockhart, Lexington, or Taylor, but it doesn't have to. It carves out its own identity by blending Southern cooking with smoked meats, and the chicken alone is worth coming back for. Just save room for one of those Texas-sized slices of cake.

So the first thing I'm going to say is the food was good, not exceptional barbecue but decent. I…read morewould recommend to the owner to have a cleaning company come in and do a deep clean. The windows were dirty, the floor was dirty and several tables hadn't been cleaned. This is the first impression people have and it doesn't matter if the food is good or not. They won't come back. If I had to go by the front of the house my thoughts are that the kitchen is dirty too. That being said. So much potential that is being lost because of these little things . Good luck in the future.

My husband had bone in wings and tortellini soup and I had boneless wings and french fries, everything was delicious. My boneless wings were very flavorful and they gave you a good size portion, you could tell the chicken was so fresh and the french fries were the best, they were just potato, sometimes restaurants coat them and I hate that, these were traditional french fries and super hot which I love. My husband said his wings were excellent too and the tortellini soup was great. The tortellini's were al dente they didn't overcook them at all. The blue cheese dip that came with the wings was the best we've ever had chock full of blue cheese chunks. The waitress was super nice, the bag she gave me to take the leftovers home was a type of bag I was looking for to keep in my bag dispenser at home. She gave me a little pile of them and even found out for me where I could buy them, which was excellent information, I purchased a box at Restaurant Depot in Chicopee. As I mentioned this was our first time there, will definitely go back. Also, since EB's is close to Geisslers Grocery Store, it's a good opportunity to get some groceries in this wonderful one of a kind grocery store, hard to find a salad and soup bar in the area but they have it and it's amazing! Delicious, wide variety of bakery products available too.

Not sure if that was the telling sign but for a rainy Saturday afternoon I would expect someone in here. Few people did show up after I ordered so that was good. Looked over the menu and none of the apps really stood out so went with what I came here for which was the brisket. Ordered that with a side of beans, brussels sprouts and a key lime pie to finish off the meal afterwards. Nothing I had screamed I need to come back soon. The pastrami did look good in one of the pictures here on Yelp, and a couple of gentlemen who showed up later order chicken sandwiches and I overheard them saying they were chicken sandwich connoisseurs and it was very good. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? I was happy about the service. Struck a nice conversation with the bartender about the music playlist and how pleasing it was to hear some tracks that really fly under the radar being played. I do want to give here another chance being close to home. Place is pricey for bbq and as I said was not overly impressed with the food. There is a place near Stowe, VT that has really set the bar for me of what really good brisket is. And there is BT's in Strubridge, MA. which too has good selection of bbq.

Short Version - Get the truffle tots and Reuben sandwich. Good stuff. Still Pretty Short Version - The truffle Parmesan tater tots were awesome. Even as they got cold (we had a few things going), they stayed delicious. The Cajun fries were delicious as well, and the Reuben was one of the best I've had in a while. Specifically, the corned beef was legit, non-deli corned beef, and was tender, flavorful, moist, and not stringy at all. Even the rye holding it all together was great. Fresh and crispy on both sides. The amount of sauerkraut and 1000 Island dressing was appropriate, and there was no indication of the oh-so-common "soak through" disease that seems to plague Reuben sandwiches everywhere. If they keep that up, I'll unquestionably get it again next time. (Seriously. Zero doubt. That sandwich, my face.)

"And there's fire on the mountain Lightening in the air…read moreGold in them hills and it's waiting for me there" (Marshall Tucker Band) Fire On the Mountain has one of the most unique menus I've ever encountered. Seriously, where else have you ever seen breakfast quesadillas, catfish and grits, cheesecake cornbread waffles, smoked brisket hash, deep fried pork ribs, catfish, mushroom, and alligator tacos, and a Puerto Rican Rice Bowl all happily living in the same menu's neighborhood? And then, the icing on the cake was our server - a charismatic and uber-friendly gent named Bromwell who lights up the room with his personality. He made my list of the five greatest servers I interacted with this year. The restaurant's location is as unusual as its menu. You'll find it occupying the front space at the Suffield Commons Senior Living Apartments! Yup, as you walk through the restaurant and out their back door, you actually enter a common space for the housing complex. The restaurant itself has two dining rooms with booths, tables, and chairs and a bar with dining room chairs. That eclectic menu is chock full of breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices with Mexican and barbecue flairs. We were there for lunch and ordered two things. The first was an enormous Cheese Quesadilla ($9.35) with pork ($3.12) on a grilled flour tortilla served with sour cream and pico. It was a thing of beauty, cut into five thick wedges loaded with smoked pork. Our second item was a Caesar Salad (Half size for $6.23) with a side of smoked brisket ($9.36). I passed on the croutons and Caesar dressing in lieu of barbecue sauce as my dressing. I gotta tell you, the brisket was GREAT, a big serving of tender and juicy smoked beef cut into four slabs that must have totaled close to a half pound. We loved everything about Fire On the Mountain and agreed that we need to return for a proper breakfast when we are out that way or making a morning airport run. PRO TIP The restrooms are located in the housing complex's common space I described earlier/ Just exit the restaurant by the door in the rear dining room, and you're just about there.

And when I order scrambled eggs with cheese this is exactly how I want them made, fluffy and mixed together. They have alligator on the menu and as temped as I was to order, I will save that for next time.

YAS CHICKEN IS.... YAS…read more went here after joking about it for a while bc of the name but was pleasantly surprised. I got a #3 (Chicken Supreme), side of mac and my boyfriend got a 6 piece Tender Meal. The portions were very well sized, and packaged for takeout perfectly!! They put my coleslaw on the side so it didn't get all over the fries and prevented the bun from getting soggy. The two gentlemen working night shift on 3/23 were very nice. The food was hot and took only 15 mins from ordering to leaving to be done. I went 30 mins till close and they didn't roll their eyes or act rude because of this and still made sure to provide wonderful service and food. The place was clean on the inside. The yas sauce is very good- kinda like a spicy mustard. The only thing i would slightly critique is that the inside of the restaurant is a bit bare bones but that is to no fault of the employees and kept it feeling clean- plus, i am here for food not so much ambiance. They played good music and had a fantastic attitude. 10/10 would go back.
