It great to find BBQ in the NW corner. A nice selection on the menu. The food was good, just not among the best BBQ I’ve had in CT. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The inside area, including the restroom, was clean. Loved the Wee wee wee sign over the restroom door. Nice outdoor seating area.

Just the best brisket I’ve ever had. It melts in your mouth, didn’t even need knife.

We were warmly greeted as we entered the establishment and being only an hour before closing we weren’t sure how many choices would still be available. To our surprise, just about everything we wanted was available! Service was great and although we ordered at the counter, our food was brought out to our table when it was ready. All the food was delicious! You can say we are amateur Barbecue “foodies” and my wife and I both agreed this was some of the best barbecue we have ever had! We tried the ribs (shared a full rack), both the regular and mango sauces, mac and cheese, coleslaw, cornbread and couldn’t resist ordering one of the large brownies. We had enough leftovers for a delicious lunch the next day, and yes, it was just as good a day later. If you’re in the area (even if you’re not, it’s worth the drive), definitely stop by for your barbecue fix! We highly recommend this establishment!

We found this spot online and since we were just passing through we decided to try some good BBQ. Unfortunately we were left truly disappointed. I didn’t want to rate a small business negatively but I’m hoping this will help them to make improvements. The seating area was a mix of kitchen supplies and chairs. When placing my order for ribs I was given the option to have sauce on the ribs or on the side. When my food arrived they swirled bbq sauce on it . The cornbread were minis and were not warm. They also didn’t serve fries. The taste of the food was okay but it wasn’t great bbq.

Great little side of the road BBQ joint, You know the ribs are tasty when they are great without the sauce, the rub and BBQ combo was delicious, with honey cornbread and sweet tea to complete the meal!! Aislyn not short as she looks staff is great Check them out, and see for yourself!!

Authentic Southern Style BBQ (NC vinegar based). Had the pulled pork, slaw and cornbread-a standard to judge by. Saw the smoker gently smoking out back confirming it’s the Real Deal. Large sandwich for a fair price, fresh, juicy and just the right flavors. I used to travel the South and taste BBQ in different places and little by little quality BBQ has become popular in the North. Restaurants like this are why.

Looking for a BBQ place with something other than a vinegar based sauce and this place was it. Decided to take the 50 minute drive there to check it out and we are so glad we did! Hubby had brisket sandwich and coleslaw said it was tender and really good. I had the portabella “burger” and OMG!!! I absolutely recommend trying it! So damn glad we made the trip, we WILL be back!!

Fresh and authentic barbeque! Best BBQ shrimp I’ve ever had. I recommend When Pigs Fly to any and all people looking for a great Southern style meal. Corn bread is better than my own mothers (never thought id say that in my life)

Owner is excellent with guests and the food is fantastic. Simple and fun atmosphere. We go here every time we pick up our daughter from camp and it has become a family favorite.
