7 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Ridgefield

“Great food as usual - best beef brisket and ribs in the area.BUT, the best, but ever elusive, is the banana cream pie. BBQ and banana cream pudding/pie go hand in hand and must always be eaten together. ?At HooDoo’s it is typically sold out so if they have get it.“

“The absolute best brisket that I've had anywhere period, including Texas, where I have been several times among other states (sorry Texas, I still love ya'). The food is so good, without any exaggeration, it made me forget about my beer!! There is a lot to say about the portions, the friendly and fast service, the character of the place, all top notch, but if it's the very BEST brisket you're looking for, this place is a must, must visit!“

“Truly a one of a kind experience! ?Simon took care of my fiancée and I so that we felt well informed of the menu, made great recommendations, and even better service for our first visit here! We ordered the wagyu feast and loved every bit-they cook the meat in front of you and have an array of sauces and sides to make your own lettuce wraps or eat alone! Our meal was outstanding and will absolutely be back for more! Thank you Simon!?P.S.-GET THE FRIED ICE CREAM! It’s one of the best I’ve had.“

“My son and I have often gotten deliveries from The Cue and have LOVED it. We've been trying to get there in person and it finally happened yesterday! Yesterday was very rainy and dreary in CT, so we were a bit surprised to see them so busy on Saturday, mid-afternoon. As we approached the door, we smelled the smokiness before opening the door! A good sign! The building appeared relatively small from the exterior, but upon entering, we realized that it was much roomier than the outdoor appearance. The host stand was to the left and we were able to get seats pretty easily. Several tables were filled with happy diners - there was actually a table of 16 people celebrating a birthday. Beyond that table, we noticed a smaller room that can accommodate a private party, too. From the dining room, you can actually see the chefs loading and unloading the smokers through a large window! Onto the service - our server, Zeo, was very sweet and accommodating, checking on us often, refilling our drinks, chatting - very personable! We ordered drinks - my son ordered their house made sweet tea, that was perfect! And I had a bourbon cocktail with peach puree and orange - it was definitely bourbon forward with subtle flavors of the fruits! Delicious! And we ordered The Cue Nachos with Chopped Brisket - the serving was ENORMOUS! The cheese sauce was served on the side, so the nachos didn't become soggy. The brisket was so tender and had perfect smoke flavor! So as to save room for our entrees, Zeo brought a box to store our leftovers. My son had the Dry Rub burger and added bacon to it - he said it was outstanding and cooked perfect to his liking! His truffle parmesan fries were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and had just the right amount of truffle parmesan flavor that did not overwhelm the fry! Fantastic! I had The Cue Salad with grilled chicken - the salad was LOADED with cucumbers, chick peas, olives, roasted poblano peppers and tender, chicken! Amazing! Their food, service and ambiance are definitely recommended! Their menu has a wide variety of appetizers, entrees, burgers, sandwiches, salads and kids menu. You can also order family portions of different selections of their smoked offerings and sides - with flights of their variety of sauces. Come try this gem located on Pembroke Rd, Danbury!“

“This is a fun little place (emphasis on little). Getting a seat could be a challenge when busy. At our table we had bbq pork, bbq chicken and brisket. All great. Also had the combo appetizer which had a fun selection of stuff. Local beers as well. Service decent.“

“Easy to make a reservation on a Friday night. The Hostess sat us right away and our Server was punctual in greeting us and taking drink orders. The drinks were well-balanced, not too sweet. We specifically enjoyed the White Bronco. The deviled eggs, pickles vegetables, chicken wings (chipotle honey), hush puppies, and chopped salad with chicken were all delicious. Our server was very attentive the entire evening and we felt very welcome and not rushed even towards closing. Thank you!“

“I grabbed lunch here today with a buddy. Very cool place with both indoor and outdoor seating. I went with the half chicken with side salad and collard greens. Chicken was perfect. Good greens too, very tender and tasty. Good service as well. I used to go to Dino BBQ in Stamford. The Wire Mill’s BBQ is superior. Keep smoking fellas!“
