REVIEWS OF Wire Mill Saloon & Barbeque IN Connecticut

John Maloney

The best wings I have ever had . A nice patio with good service . An excellent Destination if you’re out for a ride.

Michael Kingsley

Delicious BBQ and super friendly staff! Excited to go again!

Jacinto Alvarez

The very best in Real BBQ. GREAT FOOD, FRIENDLY SERVICE, LITTLE HOME TOWN FEEL. I try to go every two month . I would go more but it a ride from the N.Y.C. BUT WELL worth it..

mark allen

Small, but the food is amazing, and the staff is great.

Jason Bernz

Pulled pork sandwich was on point, tasty cold slaw friendly staff!!

Neal Mackey

Good BBQ across the board ! Really liked the brisket. Beautiful smoke ring and flavor.

Jens Schluetter

The meats are outstanding, tender, great flavor. The big smokers in the back are not just for show and it reflects in the BBQ meat that's served. 5 stars for that. ... BUT then I tried the sides and it almost destroyed the experience. The coleslaw was warm and tasted like it was just scooped out of a bucket from Walmart. The collard greens were simply disgusting, zero flavor. At list price 4.95 for a side I expect something spectacular and not some tasteless afterthought. The sauces also tasted like straight up from the factory. It's a bummer that they ruin what they build up with the great BBQ when it comes to their supporting act. For me, I'd rather get my BBQ fix at Northern Smoke BBQ, the drive is well worth it.

Kathy Palmer

Have visited this saloon numerous times for take out. I typically get the pulled pork and mac and cheese. The pulled pork is very tasty and the mac and cheese..cheesy and not dry. The 'owner' or 'manager' has always been very friendly and attentive. The take out service quick.

Michael Pearson

Awesome. Food is amazing, pricing is great, and all the staff is super kind. Live music and great location is just a further bonus. Definitely try the fried pickles.

Dave Meredith

Visited on April 20th with my wife for our 35th wedding anniversary lunch (a day early!). The aroma of the pit was quite appealing as we walked to the door. Of course, I had to sidetrack to view the smokers and check out what kind of wood was being used. I think it was cherry and oak. Took about dozen images with my phone! As we entered, we were greeted promptly - The Wire Mill had just opened for the day. We chose a table near the bar. We started off with appetizers - Hazel had the Memphis-style 1/4 rack of ribs that was served with their White BBQ Sauce (ranch-based with the tang of horseradish). They were very flavorful and smoked just right with hints of cherry and apple woods. Just enough firmness to hold it on the bone, but it pulled away with ease. I had Bootsie's Brunswick Stew, which was very well made. It had a great flavor with plenty of chicken, pork, okra, corn, spice and a little heat on the back end. I highly recommend it. We then ordered a combo platter to share for lunch. We selected the 1/4 pound of beef brisket, 1/4 pound of pulled pork, two sides (we chose curly fries and macaroni and cheese. The Mac and Cheese was white with a creamy, multi-cheese sauce) and corn bread. And we added another 1/4 rack of ribs! Their style is dry-rubbed Memphis-style BBQ. The brisket was sliced and showed off its nice smoke ring. I found the brisket to be slightly under-flavored (rub and bark) for my liking, but that is personal preference. The pulled pork was very flavorful and tender. They have 3 varieties of BBQ sauce on the table - Vinegar, Honey and their house-made traditional. The vinegar tang of each complemented the meats. The staff was very cordial and helpful. The manager Matt, told us the story behind name of The Wire Mill. We boxed up the leftover slice of brisket and pulled pork and ribs to take home. My overall opinion of The Wire Mill BBQ is it was very good. All the meats we tried were smoked nicely. The ribs get a 9.5 on a scale of 10 – delicious! The Pulled Pork very flavorful also rated highly at 9.0. The brisket was good, but as I mentioned above, I think it was a little shy on rub. We definitely plan to return and try the brisket again as well as some of their other options. Wire Mill overall score 9.0.

R.W. Avery

I ordered a wire mill burger cooked medium. It was kind of dry and not really medium, it was cooked all the way through. It was a very large burger so I had to smush it down to fit it in my mouth, witch made the tomato slip out. It also seemed like every time I gripped my burger something slid away from me. Its like the burger meat is running away from me.

JJ C

Excellent BBQ ribs and brisket

Don Gesualdi

George Grenier

Great food, craft beer selection and staff. A win, win, win.

Paula Olson

The staff at the Mill are very friendly. Food is excellent. Definitely going back

Marco Hoffmann

Really good pulled pork. The Baby back ribs could have had a little more flavor for me. But the meat was just perfectly done with lots of moisture. I can definitely recommend going there. Very friendly staff and great location. It was just what I was looking for.

Will Romoser

This is the best Barbeque around, without question. I love barbeque and often find it hard to find a good place to eat when in a hankering for something properly smoked. However, I have gotten lucky enough to live nearby to the Wire Mill. I've been to Hoodoo Barbeque, and it simply tastes manufactured and bland compared to place.

Jeff Capeci

Awesome BBQ, draft beer, atmosphere.

Eva Henneberg

Fantastic AND fast! I placed a take out order for 2 entrees. In about 10 minutes the food was ready and waiting for me to collect.The smoked brisket was delicious, as usual! This place has an item called, "The Monster." Quite aptly named. As tasty as it is, I dare you to finish everything on your plate in one sitting!

Todd Bennett

Great food and hard working staff. Always friendly and comfortable. Nice job!

Beverly Stilmar

Keep on doing what you're doing. Perfection

Charles Duffy

It tastes as good as it smells!

Kyle Griffin

Barbecue is ok but the prices are friendlier compared to other bbq restaurants. Personally, I would go to hoodoo browns which is about 10 minutes away.

Delroy Thomas

The food was not as worm as it should be. It didn't seem fresh.

A wonderful friendly place with excellent food. I had the beef ribs, beans, corn bread and brussel sprouts. It all was delicious and the beef ribs were tender and extremely tasty. My boyfriend had the chicken, sausage, rice and beans and tator tots which he absolutely loved. Matthew was excellent and very personable. A great friendly atmosphere and wonderful tasty food.

Excellent all round

G Bunce

Best bbq in western connecticut!

Jim Furnivall

Some things like the dosage are very good. The BBQ ribs are only OK.

David Langham

Awesome service and food. Sangria is fantastic

Pete M

First of all, the food is amazing. If you want GREAT BBQ, then you must go to the Wire Mill. I have yet to try anything I haven't liked. Pulled pork, brisket, ribs, wings, and if you're feeling like you need to really over do it, try the Fat Jackson. I could only eat half of it... Gino and Robin are wonderful owners and really care about their restaurant and their customers. A must try!

Paul Riccio

One visit and it was exceptional. I had a beef rib special. It was pricey and worth every damn penny. Cooked to tender perfection and beautifully seasoned.

Jeremiah Josephsen

This place is way better than the other BBQ nearby! The smoked pulled pork with the honey sauce is perfect. The staff is always pleasant, and the atmosphere is great. Try their cornbread!

Mel Mas

This is definitely a treat for me. This food is delicious and I brought two out of towners here on a Friday night and despite the wait, they were super happy with what they ordered. We even had enough left for a second meal since we all got the combo plates. Keep up the good work!

Chris Hoffman

Excellent smoke food. Owner Gino great guy waitresses waiters bartenders all very pleasant. Excellent place for family and friends. Highly recommend

Ormond by the Sea Vacation

soo good

Gloria miller

The spareribs were outstanding. Pulled pork and brisket fine, but chicken both half and tenders were dry and awful. Large takeout order...skimpy on sauce...had to ask for extra.

Graham O'Gorman

I've been here 4 or 5 times now, Great menu selection, The portion size is great too and it's also priced very reasonably. I will definitely be going back in the future.

Gabriel Ripley

Best barbeque in Connecticut

Robert Paula Krupp

Great food

Duane Barney

Great smoked wings!

rocket man

5 stars for the food and the bartender/waiter Mark, who was amazingly nice. Went there numerous times However the last time I went there the hostess would not seat my party of three in a booth. They told me they don't do reservations yet the hostess told me we couldn't sit in the booth because that was being saved in case parties of four or more showed up. Why not accommodate willing & able customers now over customers who may never even show? That's bad business!! So we left, went to Hoo doo Browns and Wire Mill lost 3 dinners plus 2 to go meals from us.

Lawrence Lanzilli

A+++

Grant Paltauf

this place is the best BBQ in ct i love the staff there, they are always so kind, the meat melts in your mouth, it is so clean, they will always be able to help you with anything, this place is so child friendly, Gino Segundo Camacho and Willson and Freddy are the best cooks out there.

Kevin McE

Al Carmona

Great food! Friendly staff! Welcoming atmosphere! Best barbecue in the area.

daniel cascone

Best BBQ in CT! Friendly service, amazing craft brews on tap and some ridiculous smoked meat. You can tell they know BBQ. Try the smoke wings, my favorite!

Harvey Mains

Great barbecue. Ribs, beef, brisket, pork — all great. Can be quite crowded at peak hours, but there is always takeout.

Michael Henry

Great food very good service

Marcelle Finger

Excellent food, great atmosphere and very good service.

Gerry Byrne

This ranks well above a great local place. This is great food made with love and served by very happy people. They all seem to be genuinely enjoying being a part of the recipe to Wire Mill's success. The place and it's people ARE the atmosphere. The food... That's the full blown success. Drive and park and THERE you see the smokers! No sort of kind of barbecue... This is real deal and very comfortable. Comfortable is key. Most barbecue places serve smoked food and describe themselves as barbecue. Most are not really barbecue in food, design, and definitely not in atmosphere or therefore reality. They talk the talk... But... Wire Mill... Is the real deal. They walk the walk. And it's a cool swagger at that! They work for your love. And they earned mine. Go there. And keep going back.

Ernest Schiavone

Dave Root

Really tasty food

Will McKee

Visited today for the second time, and just as last time, today was a big success. We came in for lunch and were fortunate to get seated right away. The staff was friendly and the the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting while maintaining a BBQ style. My son and I couldn't pass up the pork belly taco appetizer, so we split that. They NEED to make this a meal offering...maybe 3 tacos and a side of rice and beans or something. A generous portion of delicious pork belly in a warm corn tortilla, topped with a nice undressed slaw. A squirt of provided lime wedge adds a nice bright pop of citrus to cut through the richness of the belly. I will no doubt order these again and again. For my meal, I opted for the smoked chicken salad sandwich and upgraded to curly fries. Served on a toasted sandwich roll with lettuce and tomato, it was a satisfying twist on a classic. The side of slaw was refreshing and well dressed, and I think the sliced pickles are homemade (so good!) We will definitely be returning when in town. It's a great spot for a great quick meal at an affordable price, or a relaxing night out for cocktails and sitting by the fire pit. Highly recommended!

Tim Foley

Try the Monster, it's the best manwich ever!!!

alden cushman

Best BBQ place in town and nice outdoor seating too. Great meat and beer, you better be hungry. The pulled pork, cheese nachos are fantastic.

Jordan Fenster

Great meat. Some of the best sausage I have ever eaten. Smoked wings are a must. If I had a complaint it would be the collared greens, which tasted flat and uninteresting.

Steven Rosenbaum

Great food and atmosphere

Ronald Giustino

Great bbq good service

Jacqueline Rubin

Juan Ward

Awesome. Food is amazing, pricing is great, and all the staff is super kind. Definitely recommended.

Paige Dabek

Stopped for a late lunch after hiking around Devil's Den Nature Preserve. Food was tasty and plentiful. Maybe a little pricier than I'd expect from a BBQ place, but the portions were generous. Husband and I shared the BBQ fries appetizer (curly fries, cheese, and pulled pork), which was better than most cheesy fries I've had. Husband had the big combo BBQ plate and I the Cobb Salad- both were great. I took most of the salad home 'cause those cheesy fries were filling, and husband had leftovers too (despite his big appetite). Service was friendly and quick.
