Reviews for Chester's Barbecue in Groton, CT
Been a loyal customer for over a decade. Tonight I could no longer get 3 meats. I asked the order taker if there was some way I... could order 3 meats of my choosing and he replied no they got rid of it. I was like ok I?ll downsize to 2 meats I guess ifthat?s my only option that allows me to pick my meats. This reason alone is why I will never return to Chester?s. I bought a cupfor the sweet tea they always have and once again disappointed. I don?t know why they would take away any option for me tochoose 3 meats. I tried and was literally told no option for that! I guess it?s time I break my loyalty of over a decade and tryout the new smokehouse in Mystic. Also this visit was the first time that the cornbread wasn?t even edible! Bye Chester?s!! Read more
Food was good. I liked the brisket (which is always my judgement), but the coleslaw would be a pass next time. Just taste like... mayo in a salad - needs something more. Ribs were good, and sausage was good too. The sweet sauce is one I?ve never tastedbefore and loved it on the ribs. Read more
First time in CT went with some co-workers. I play a game with new restaurants where I ask the staff to choose for me. I was... not disappointed. I got the 2 meat plate. - pulled pork - burnt ends - Mac and cheese - corn bread - some concoction that I'mnot sure what was in it. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Thank you! Oh yeah the staff also talked shop witha coworker of mine who is into BBQ. I learned a lot listening in. Read more
The brisket was grey and dry, had no flavor. The wings were very dry and seems to be just heated in the microwave. Sauces are... basic. Not worth the money Read more
$30 for 1 person to eat lunch is absurd. Very clean bathrooms. Very friendly staff. The food was okay at best.
I was just in the Groton location and ordered a #4 combo Ribs and BBQ, after ordering I was told that the ribs would be spare... ribs! I was under the impression that where the menu designated ?ribs? they would be baby backs unless otherwise notedspecifically as ?spare ribs? especially at $88 for 1 rack and 1lb of bbq. Read more
Hands down the best bbq place in the north east. I was in Austin Tx. Earlier this year I went to a famous bbq restaurant and did... not taste better than Chester?s bbq. I believe I spoke to the owner there and he was telling how some people travel from Jersey,Boston, PA, on a weekly or monthly bases just to get this bbq. And I don?t blame them because I will be one of them as well lol.The meats are very tender and so tasty. The place smells so good cuz the smoker is inside and when you come out you will alsosmell like bbq. Nothing else to say, just go and try for your self then thank me later. Read more
Closest thing to Texas!!!! I?ve had the best in my opinion in Texas and I bet Chester?s knows which one I?m talking about. Moved... to Connecticut from out west and decided to try this place after church Sunday morning and am I glad I did! I knew when I walkedin the door it was gonna be good!! It was $54 for three of us to eat and we couldn?t finish it all. Please stay open foreverok!? Read more
