Reviews of Curtis' All American Bar-Be-Que (Restaurant)

Robert Gregory

The best bbq in new england. A small roadside stand. The flavor and food is out of this world. You will not be disappointed with your food.

Jennifer Curtis-Gray

Food was ok. Nothing spectacular. Staff seemed overwhelmed with keeping up with orders. Lots of food had run out. Entertainment and corn muffins were the only redeeming qualities.

Craig Woody

Not a good place to eat. Q was day old and dry.

Marla Umstead

Always wonderful!

Mike B

Food was ok. Nothing special. It's cool for the experience but that's about all.

lisa fitzgerald

Curtis's bbq is iconic but the food was just fair. Perhaps because it was close to closing. Chicken was very dry, ribs were ok, bbq was pretty vinegary. Potato salad and baked beans were amazing. Pulled pork was good. Ambience is fun and eclectic

jansen7900

Been going here for almost 30 yrs it's the best !!!!

Sally Foley

Very good, but very expensive. And the eating area could use of ALC.

Barbara Draper

The greatest bbq chicken and ribs will go back there again soon

Darlene Garretson-Watts

Bland, bland, and more bland. Not what you would expect from a 4 star bbq place. Came recommend, but I could do better. Curtis is not the 9th wonder. Maybe he had an off day.

Bill Hayes

Great destination for our Sunday rides. Been here 3 times and 100% everytime.

Rob Stockwell

So everyone told me how good this place was. We tried the pork, chicken and ribs. All of it was dry and flavorless. Some of the worse BBQ I have ever had. And the sides were just as bad.

Jonathan Jacques

I've been here about 6 times over the years, and i am add to see this place fall from grace. The first time I went, was in a whim because we needed gas next door and figured lets get an early dinner. That first time we took them to go and i had a transcendent experience. The ribs were tender, flavorful and melted off the bone. The sides were equally great on a concise classic menu. Definitely an 11 on a scale of 10, and for a number of years they kept the quality. 2 years ago i felt a little disappointed but it was still good. This last time i went on memorial day, eager to introduce some more of our friends to curtis bbq. Was it terrible? No. Was it good? No. The only redeeming notes were the collard greens and bbq sauce, but the meat (ribs and pulled pork) fell flat. The sauce was ok, but no flavor cooked into the meat. Further the meat was a little dry and very fatty. It just wasn't the same. And on top of it all the price was way too high for such lackluster quality. I'm not sure what changed. Could it be the staff i had not previously encountered, the absence of Curtis's daughter in the operations, or a great man with great food losing the passion for it?? Whatever it is, I hope Curtis figures it out, and makes the necessary changes to bring back the all American bbq magic that put him on the map. Back when you couldn't find them on Google but tried your best to remember which gas station was next door to bbq promised land.

Mike Smith

Horrible food. The ribs and the chicken are dry and tasteless. Don't be decevied by the authentic looks of the place. All ingredients used are basically the WORST you could get. Stay away!!

Paul Marlisa

The chicken was great, of course with the famous Curtis BBQ saus.

Tom Marsh

Old school BBQ done right. It sure isn't fancy but it is good

Dave Felice

We drive for two hours to get there and would drive two more, great food and very reasonable prices and great atmosphere. Highly recommend

Joanne Gregoire

I've been going to Curtis' for 40 years and never have had better ribs anywhere else ever since. I drive up from western Mass so when I go, I buy a whole rack. In fact we make an event of it by selecting a rack that is just going onto the grill and then having a beverage or 2 while it is cooking. We talk to Curtis, play hackysack or just chill and take in the aroma of hardwood coals and grilled meats till our rack is done. The vinegar based sauce is delicious and there is no comparison, no copycats can match.

Dean Remy

Casual, home cooked barbecue. And lots of it

JohnInNH

I LOVE this place. I go once a year minimum. Its expensive, a bit on the grubby side, but has FANTASTIC ribs. Stuffed baked potatoes are da bomb. Mmmmm. I'm glad it's not closer as I'd end up over 300 lbs.

Jan Schollaert

The best ribs around!

Mike Ziemba

Not good at all

Karen B

Always great thank you Curtis

Bram Avontuur

Visited this place as a leafpeepin' out of towner with my wife, and we loved it! Fantastic atmosphere, friendly folks, and there even was a friendly pig digging up the dirt near the grills. There's a few rib-ticklin' jokes to be made here, but it was all in good fun.

Lori Gregory

We have been going here with many bikers for quite a while getting very expensive may be our last time, going to find somewhere a little cheaper

JayJay Smith

Delicious BBQ with a unique place to visit.

Morgan Barrett

Well worth the trip from CT for the ribs and chicken.

Brian Clark

Little pricey but great food- we ride up from the Cape a couple times a year for it!

Amy Macedo

If you want to experience BBQ the way it was intended, come to Curtis's!! The ribs were 'fall off the bone tender' and the chicken was perfectly cooked. We fed a family of 3 with the Family Pig Out meal and took some home. Talking to Mr. Curtis was the cherry on top. He was happy to chat with us, introducing his dogs and raving about his pig at home. He seems to be in his happiest place at the BBQ, and his family works next to him. It isn't fine dining, but it is 5 star eating.

jt ray

Awesome! Food was amazing, selection amazing, atmosphere amazing. Will 100% be coming back here!

Peach L

This place is cooler than cool. We live in CT and heard about him, added this as a priority stop. Friendly guy, friendly family. Food was mind blowing. His life story is fascinating. He's famous, and for a good reason. If i lived closer, i would go there every day

James Hill

This is the best barbecue in New England. The ribs always fall right off the bone, and the juices of the smokey meat mixed with their tangy sauce is the epitome of delicious barbecue flavor, and I have yet to find anywhere that even comes close to being this good.

Paul T

Awesome food, and excellent atmosphere. It's been a while since I've been there, but great flavor is hard to forget. On a personal note, I wouldn't recommend wearing any heavy perfumes, since my ex girlfriends son sprayed his brother with perfume, so I sprayed him. It attracted hornets

Catherine P

This was the worst BBQ I have ever had. I don't understand why this place has good reviews. The ribs and chicken were dry, stale and pretty much inedible.

Dawn Oates

Curtis is fantastic what a great place to eat. The crew and the food are great

Joshua Vogel

I loved the ribs, but I was not a fan of the sauce or sides. Well executed, but not my style. The ribs were nicely cooked, tender, but with a satisfying bite to them. The baked beans were not sweet at all, which is okay, and might be terrific for some people. My main disappointment was the sauce, which while well-executed was not a style I like. It was similar to a buffalo wing sauce... Very heavy on the vinegar. I don't think it qualifies as a vinegar mop, but I'm not sure. Personally I prefer ribs with a Carolina mustard sauce, or a Kansas City molasses-tomato based sauce. (Next time I go up there, I'll be bringing my own homemade sauce. I'll hide it in a flask or something). I think the sauce Curtis makes probably is much better suited to the chicken he makes, but I didn't try the chicken on my visit. Next time I will. 4 stars because of the lack of sauce options, and because the sides didn't blow me away. But the quality of the meat was fantastic, and the atmosphere can't be beat.

James Hill

This is the best barbecue in New England. The ribs always fall right off the bone, and the juices of the smokey meat mixed with their tangy sauce is the epitome of delicious barbecue flavor, and I have yet to find anywhere that even comes close to being this good.

Mark Orlomoski

Great as usual, we've been coming here for years. Always worth a trip.

Jeremy Mercier

I really wanted to like this place, and between the amount of money I spent ($70 for three people to have a pretty modest lunch) and all the good reviews, I was expecting the best BBQ of my life. Alas, I was underwhelmed. The ribs were dry and flavorless, the corn on the cob was still raw, and hygiene was definitely not a priority. The best that can be said about my experience is that the atmosphere was unique and the staff friendly, but I will not be making a return visit.

Bruce Banner

Smokey rib meat that just falls off the bone, and the sweet corn on the cob was delicious. Can't speak for the chicken, but neither can my lady who eats it because she is to busy stuffing her face. Great place right off exit 4 91n in vermont.

Joel Lacey

Great lunch stop off on any trip. We were looking for food and weren't sure we'd find anything in the area. Luckily we timed that search perfectly. You can load up on some delicious ribs and all sorts of sides for cheap. Really tender, great vinegar based sauce too. Not sure all of it was all that fresh but on a nice day when you're just looking for something quick, filling and tasty this is the spot. Load up and grab a park bench.

Craig McKay

Curtis B-B-Q is an open air cookery with picnic tables. Rusting machinery and lots of dogs helps make a memorable lunch stop. If the food were only better, this place would be fantastic. Unfortunately, the meats (pork & chicken) were only so-so as were the side dishes. A large parking lot and easy access to I-91 north and southbound makes it an easy stopping place. Cash only and the toilets are Port-a-Johns.

Rachel Page

Great food

Joshua Monette

Quick service good food

Michael McCosker

Largely disappointed by what has happened to Curtis'. I remember the food being succulent, smokey, and delicious barbeque, but lately, it has been just dry and over done. We had the chicken and the ribs, and both were the same. The baked beans and potato salad sides were completely plain and boring. The sauces were the one redeeming trait, as those were delicious. But at $18ish dollars a meal, it just isn't worth it anymore.

Devin Sanchez

The best BBQ all around, it's worth the drive to get yourself some amazing fire cooked food.

Cobun Zweifel-Keegan

Curtis has been barbecuing for more than forty years, but his methods take perfectly good pork and make it flavorless. The place is charming and quaint with a very authentic feel, but as someone from the Southwest I'm shocked that anyone could call this BBQ the best they've ever had. BBQ gets its flavor from the slow cooking process and the addition of flavorful rubs or sauces, plus the extra smoke flavor that certain types of wood add. Curtis appears to put meat over his coals without adding anything to it and uses bland woods for fuel that add no flavor. The result is some of the most dried out pork I've ever tasted. Sometimes bad BBQ can be somewhat rescued by good sauce, but the vinegar-heavy ketchup-flavored sauce here doesn't do the trick. If you find yourself here despite these warnings, I do recommend the fully loaded stuffed potato. You can't beat a potato cooked over a fire pit, and the sour cream helps mask the dried out pork.

Wylie Carlisle

Great food, and a perfectly befitting spot to eat it.

Martha Turek

Curtis's has always been great food but CASH ONLY so don't bring a lot of people there to eat and then realize you can't stay cause you don't have enough cash!

Sean O'Dell

Good food. Can be very busy at times, but if you are in the area, check out this place for some good bbq, especially the chicken

Amy Downing

The worst ribs ever. Tough, chewy and dry. Will never go back.

Sandra Foster

A great place well worth the scenic

Mike McCauley

Great as always. Always travel out of way to get some ribs.

Mike Demonte

Best ribs I have ever had hands down real mellow environment friendly staff

Richard Andreoli

Haven't been here in a long time and still the food is just as good. Curtis still at the pit.

momma Goodwin

Great BBQ! HOT sauce is blazing. Beware the collard greens are very zippy!

Brando Thumbs

Was worth the drive. Smoked flavour in the chicken is out of this world.

j thibs

Definitely an experience you dont want to miss. Great food and what atmosphere. :)

Jason Stupp

I love everything about this place. My new automatic stop when I am in the area.

Brian Shipley

Way over priced for quality of food which really was not that good... flavorless and tasteless best describes this

Lori Nieves

Great food . Freindy staff

Natalia Urbano

TERRIBLE! Is the word that best describes this place. A simple bbq 1/4. Chicken thigh and leg with baked potato meal could not be executed. It was completely awful. I have wasted my time, and my $20. My suspicions were raised about the quality of my meal when I saw the run-down building. But I still wanted to give them a try and it was NO GOOD! Please dont waste your time here. Thanks Curtis for a dried out chicken and burnt up potato!!

Alfred Hibler

Delicious food but service very slow, waited in line for an hour!

Steve Nichols

Excellent. The meat falls off the bones on the ribs. Great spicy sauce. Collards and bbq. How could you go wrong? Must go!

Allison Frost

If I Could Give This Place Zero Stars I Would. IT IS THE WORST BBQ I HAVE HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. FOR $12.98 For A Pulled Pork Platter(which the sign says pulled pork & chicken) But u can only have one & 2 Sides (Macaroni Salad & Corn Muffin was our choice) Is An Absolute Rip Off!! We ordered 3 platters & each had probably less than 1/3 cup of pulled pork. Which was dry & chewy. I won't be surprised if we get sick off this nasty food. In that case the health inspector will be called. I wouldn't even give it to my dogs!!! The only nice thing I can say is their corn muffins are amazing. Their mild BBQ sauce tasted like way to much vinegar. The flies & gnats were everywhere, should have ate in the car, the people working their were rude & kind of nasty which should have been a huge red flag from even deciding to eat there. We did not finish our pork or side of macaroni. WE WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN & RECOMMEND THAT YOU KEEP GOING RIGHT ON BYE THIS PLACE. If you like nasty food, dirty slobby rude workers & red neck trailer trash environment this is your place.

Alan Bell

dining. Good BBQ though it's all about the ribs here. Nice outdoor seating. If you are into brisket this isnt the place for you cause they have none.

Jerry Fox

I have had ribs at Dreamland BBQ in Tuscaloosa, AL, Arthur Bryant's in Kansas City, MO and The Salt Lick in Driftwood, TX. None of them measure up to the ribs you get at Curtis's. They are full ribs with the tips, not those little teeny baby back ribs. Try the Hot Sauce, it's not that hot.

Fred Cheney

It was so good just like I remember

Joanna Cotto

Amazing BBQ place , if you're in Vermont you have it find this hidden gem .

Stephen Granlund

Rustic, one of a kind outdoor BBQ open April to October foe over 40 years. Cash only. Large servings. Great food.

John Farrell

Awful. Worst BBQ I've ever had. Baked beans were flavorless. Chicken was decently cooked but bland. Seating area was disgusting. Service didn't even feel cordial. We didn't leave this place, we fled.

Christina Siemens

Best BBQ ever. Whenever you are in Vermont that is one stop you must make.

Daniel Pineau

Before I get started here, I'll acknowledge that many of the "right-on" details are outlined in the positive reviews and therefore I'll refrain from waxing philosophically on areas that are already covered. The negative reviews (ranging from 1 to 2.5) that concern quality of service or layout of the establishment itself are clearly written by folks that may not be all too familiar with the outlets across the U.S. that produce the finest barbeques. In my experience, those outlets are generally in trailers (or, at the very least, roadside/humble structures) and frequently, (if you're lucky) you're walking right by "Operations" (i.e., the owner, watching over the meats) on your way to/from ordering the meal. (Disclaimer - my favorite barbeque is from Eastern North Carolina (whole hog reigns supreme), and specifically from Pete Jones' Skylight Inn barbeque. If you google-map that, you'll see that it is tremendously inconvenient to get to - from pretty much anywhere - but yet it's worth the trip. I only mention this by way of establishing my 'Q credentials...) Curtis's Bar-B-Q offers Vermont and New England at-large an experience generally seen in inconvenient locations in the south. Curtis's reminds me of a good number of barbeque places in Eastern North Carolina for that matter. I've always enjoyed Curtis' ribs dry, with the sauce on the side. I find that the ribs stand on their own merit and don't need extra. You're going to eat outside. You're going to get your fingers sticky. You might even need to wipe the bench off (is that a lot to ask?). No one ever said eating barbeque was pretty. That's very likely why you don't see Barbeque on either the Main Dining Menu or the Lounge Menu of Le Bernardin... ;) p.s., many thanks to my good friend Ben Guerrero for having introduced me to Mr. Tuff's 9th wonder of the world!

Ron Dolat Sr

Interesting little place. Not very clean. Food was over cooked and very pricey. Dogs and cats running throughout the cooking area. I will give it another try buy no promises.

steve moltoris

Showed up at 1pm to be told we have no meat ready besides chicken. I didn't drive all the way here just for chicken. Maybe better planning is in order

Rich D

I always stop by for lunch when I'm passing through. Good ribs are hard to find.

Gail Hatch

Disappointed. Been coming here for years but this time the ribs were tough, the chicken very dry. The atmosphere is good, not sure what happened with the food.

joe harris

Great food.. Just a tip though they should have a screend in area to eat, the bugs do tend to be bothersome. Other then that it's AMAZZZINGGG.

Todd Matt

Curtis' All American BBQ while a local destination with good reviews isn't worth the stop from this reviewers perspective. BBQ is an art not just throwing meat or chicken on a grill. Everything is cooked on a open flame at Curtis'. Where are the smokers? Any good BBQ joint uses smoke to infuse the meat with that unforgettable taste. First lets cover the location and appearance. I've been to BBQ establishments across the country including Lewis BBQ in Charleston, SC; Smokin' Pig in Anderson, SC; and Joe's Kansas BBQ in KC to name a few. They all stick to the traditional smokers and slow cooking recipe. Plus these establishments are a destination with classic art, great music and a fun atmosphere. Curtis' is a couple of old run down school buses they use for an order window and storage. It's hard to tell how they meet health codes. There are also old children's toys littering the grounds. There are picnic tables and one area has a covered area in case it rains. I ordered "The Combo" which consists of 2 ribs and a 1/4 chicken. The ribs were very inconsistent. One was under cooked and almost raw at one end, very chewy and a battle to get off the bone. The other was dry and definitely no smoke flavor. The chicken was just plain dry. The BBQ sauce if you can call it that was basically red hot sauce mixed with what seemed to be ketchup. No KC sweet, vinegar or smokey type sauces were available. The coleslaw wasn't chopped fine enough and was heavy on mayo. Finding good BBQ in New England is a challenge, but finding poor is easier. Sadly, Curtis' doesn't live up to the hype.

Daniel Shourds

Best BBQ ever; Nice people, Guitar player to boot

Debbie Rayworth

Disappointed as phatom chef gave it a great review. Not original owner when we arrived. The Combo we ordered looked old and not juicy. BBQ mild, sucked. Some bottled stuff, just horrible. Cornbread muffins, baked beans, sweet yams, so so.

Ludie Buist

Great bbq. I didn't realize Vermont had a great tourist spot for me until we went to Curtis

Michael Pellegrini

Excellent pulled pork and Pork Ribs. A small off the road place in an old bus but a great destination place for some good home cooking. Bring cash and enjoy the low key and laid back atmosphere, all outside.

Bill Seng

We have re-routed our trips back and forth from CT to ME just to have Curtis' food and always get extra to bring home or on the trip. I recommend it to everyone I know that is going through the area in the summer. A landmark!

Chumlee W

Hadn't been there in few yrs. This time going there was worse service ever. The young lady at window was kinda rude n short with people, definitely not the right person to work with customers! I will be going back. I hope the service is better than today. Road up with two friends. We were on our bikes. Definitely wasn't worth the 3hr ride one way today.

Sherry Cook

Pulled pork sandwich poor dry and over cooked.

Gisela Dellmuth

Excellent BBQ Ribs

Michael Clay

Yummy BBQ, for sure. There was even some live music. Other reviews led me to believe it was the best in the world. That's a bit of a stretch, but it is darn good nonetheless. Definitely add the extra rib to any meal, it was oversized and delicious.

Debra Moriarty

Best bbq on the East Coast.

Robert Silva

Awesome ribs, awesome chicken, awesome sides. A national treasure.

Michelle Cassidy

Awesome with Louis Knight

Debra Connor

Delicious food. Gotta love curtis so friendly. What a guy ! Been going for years love it !

David Kampfman

August 2009 I was driving from Burlington, VT to Hartford,CT and had to pull off the highway to answer nature's call when i stumbled upon The 9th Wonder of the World. After ordering one of every item available on the menu, I learned just what REAL BBQ is. They also set a new standard in Authenticity, Uniqueness, and Tradition that I've rarely see rivaled, from Bangor, ME - Hartford, CT. Finding decent BBQ was my father's quest for the Holy Grail. So I returned home with my plunder and he agreed. The Definition of BBQ is at Curtis' BAR*B*Q

Alyssa Gagnon

The most delicious bbq hands down!

Ted Trus

Authentic bbq. Curtis has been doing this for over 40 years!

Holly Thomas

Delicious food and great service!!!

Amanda Edson

Amazing food i have been going there for years and i travel over an hr for it!(: worth every minute of the drive!

Donna S

Been going here since I was a kid! Curtis still cooks in his outdoor pit! Most personable guy!

Becki M

Great family owned

Michael Mahoney

Best bbq ivy ever had

Andrew Urbanowicz

Curtis the man! He cooks the ribs and chicken over a wood fire to perfection. This is an outside picnic style spot with music on the weekends so you can linger a bit. A must stop when in Putney!

Brady

Would have given 5 stars but waiting an hour and thirty minutes isn’t worth it. Y’all need to have a better system of serving food in a timely manner.

Corinna Ouellette

Just stopped by coming back from up north. Heard great things....I give one star because the ribs were tender...the sauce saved the flavor...overall...tasteless. Dry chicken, collard greens were boiled with black pepper. Corn bread was just ok. Super expensive considering they have no overhead. Will not be back.

Naomi Melendez

Their pulled pork was delicious. Attendant was nice...its an outdoor spot with no inside seating just some picnic benches. Will definitely be back.

Joseph Maple

The food was excellent! The prices were pretty average. It was a neat experience.

Teresa Slocumb

I love Curtis I'm from Georgia just like Curtis. So it brings me back to home. And he cooks out on a pit you order your food at the blue bus.

Gary Schnaper

Great BBQ! Been there for 42 or so years. Worth the trip! Check the hours and days they are open before you go..

Ray Kottke

Ribs were like boot leather. The place is filthy. I can't believe health department haven't closed them down.

Thomas Preziosi

Old school barbecue!

Robert R.

Perfectly cooked,love the smoke flavor and chatting with Curtis. . Great guy..

Doris Doucette

Love Curtis and his barbeque !!!! Drive up just to get some.(2 hrs)

Carole De Luca

This is a very unique place to eat. There isn't a building to go into. Curtis has converted an old school bus into the place that the food is ordered. You can see Curtis working tirelessly over the hot barbeque. There is a covered carport, for lack of a better term, with picnic tables. There are also fout or five picnic tables under trees near where Curtis is cooking.

Robert Deom

Fantastic! Totally unexpected surprise. Stopped for gas and found this place. Delicious!!

Dan Fisher

Great food, can be pricey

Gottfried Maurer

Great food at an informal, quaint, funky, fun setting.

Keith Andrews

Awesome place to visit and Curtis is a great man he's got a nice eatery excellent food felt like I was eating my mom's cooking

Joseph Lotito

Thumbs down. Waiting for over an hour for that slop wasn’t worth it. I’ll never get that time or money back. What a joke. The health department needs to inspect that place ASAP. DISGUSTING!!

Joseph Robbins

Excellent food, drove 3 hours just to try it ..... coleslaw was awesome

Mr Shua

Excellent food excellent prices

Lissette S. Whelan

They are extremely friendly here! my husband has been coming since he was little, and he's in love with the tangy sauce. Curtis is very friendly and welcoming and remembers him even though he hasn't been there in years.

Shawn Gilman

This place is really really expensive you could go to a five star restaurant for the price of this barbecue joint!!

Angel Felice

Curtis's has the best pulled pork. He offers quite a variety of sides. Nice outdoor area to relax and enjoy a great meal. Not what you expect from looking at his bus. Play area for kids and porta potties on site. Worth the ride on a nice day.

Gary Smith

Just as great as I remember thanks for the great trip down memory lane

Tony G.

Very tasty BBQ in a sweet old bus!

Michael Paul

Drove 65 miles to eat there after being told how awesome it was. Maybe we caught them on a bad day because it was really bad. The place is a dump. There were a couple dogs running around where the meat was being cooked. My wife had the half chicken. I had the chicken breast/wing, small order of ribs, and macaroni salad. All the meat was very dry and pretty much tasteless. Like it had been sitting around for a while. The skin on the chicken was not crispy and it had just a faint taste of barbecue. They give you extra barbecue sauce, mild in our case. It was very watery and had a strong taste of vinegar, not good. Macaroni salad was like the typical kind made in grocery stores for much less money. $35.00 down the drain. We were extremely disappointed and would never go there again.

Karl Krawczyk

Good food but sloooow service. Glad it wasn't busy!

Thomas Desjardins

This placed for some reason it reminds me of that movie fryed green tomatoes without the fryed green tomatoes. I stop in Puntey about a thousand times because I head up to Canada from CT. I drove by this place so many times but never had the chance to taste the food. But today I did. The half chicken was good, but the breast was a little dry. I wonder if the old man doing the barby was drinking water from the plactic jug, or maybe it was moonshine. Just kidding!

meda talley

Awesome but a little pricey

dwayne clark

Great place to ride to on two wheels or even in a car great barbecue

Peter Senderowitz

Good food, down home feeling!

Eric Cook

Good place they don't push for many years has gone here off and on throughout the years whenever I'm in the area some of the best Southern BBQ you'll have but up north?

Roland Grundmann

Always good. Plain and simple.

Nick Bond

Have been here since I was a child. Very unique atmosphere and great authentic BBQ! Extremely friendly staff as well! Must try. Have always stopped by on road trips.

Chandler keller

Cool spot and good barbeque (in the back of an old bus) right off of i 91. Be sure to chat with Curtis as he throws ribs and chickens on the grill

David Niedzwiecki

Going there for over 20years. Still the best.

Diana Weldon

As always....great food and drink!

Ray Brennan

Curtis is the man hes the guy who makes it all happen in under the highest of quality standards places clean the employees are present abe'll and the food is excellent it's all about the food . I have made a stop in Putney Vermont a necessary stop in my travels home to bring home a great meal at a reasonable price.

L. Estevez

This a Putney staple!!! The food was excellent and the corn muffin was so delicious. Best bbq place in town.

Reggie Miller

Absolutely terrific must try must have

Mark Fiore

Not enough room here?.JUST GO

Kevin Uznanski

Not quite up to the hype - especially for the price. Meats were pretty good but sides were bland. Let's face it. We New Englanders are hard pressed to find bbq on par with what one can get in the south.

M Stick

I've had offers over the years to ride to Curtis'BBQ. Today was the day. Lovely weather. I only wish the BBQ was good. It was not. Tasteless. Overcooked chicken. Ribs were OK, but needed the sauce on the side to give it "something". I was really looking fwd to it, until I ate the lunch. And PAID for it. Very overpriced for what's offered. Sides are NOT included -- we both believed they should be. Corn muffin seemed store-bought. Collard greens had some kick (spice). But, $40 for a lunch for 2 that was a way less enjoyable than anticipated? Meeting Ducati friends there helped save the day. If you're ever near or in Marlboro, MA, go to FireFly's. Awesome smoked food for a decent price!

Donnalee Dexter

The best bbq in the world hands down bone sucking GOOD made by the nices man you could ever want to met... dont wait go now !

aaron m

Great food.. nice place to ride the bike to

rusty dog

Ribs were not the same as when Curtis was there cooking...nothing was on the grill...cooking... don't think I'll be back...

YVZW YVZW

Disgusting BBQ place. Both ribs and chicken stale and rubbery. Sides were horrible and the place is filthy.

Marlena Mackie

Wicked pricey. $93 for 3 ppl.

Bruce Silverman

This once reliable Carolina-style bbq eatery has rapidly gone downhill since the daughter took over & allowed all relevant standards to drop. Unless you like eating mediocre, overpriced bbq at dirty, sticky fly-infested tables while surrounded by overflowing trash cans, STAY AWAY. Choose instead to have your “southern” meal @ Top Of The Hill Grill in Brattleboro where you will be rewarded with the exact opposite!

Peter Solley

The worst barbecue in the world. Shocking.

Shane Vadner

Best ribs, chicken, and potatoe salad. Open grill so if a lot of peoppe come you might have to wait. Plenty of space to eat and park. Co-Op across the street sells their BBQ sauce. Always stop here when I can and plan my schedule around it.

Jonathan Meyer

The barbecue is some of the best in the Northeast

joe tranfaglia

Very sad chicken so dry it wasn’t pleasant at all beans had no flavor and truly came right from a can-sweet yams had no flavor so very disappointed won’t be back☹️ Traveled from Massachusetts have been here before maybe just a really bad day for us ☹️

Debra Hollins

Great barbecue! You have to go if you're in the area

Deanna Bennis

Curtis is an American icon, love that man

Alex Mihlstin

Been coming here for 20+ years. I love it. Keep it up Curtis!

craig seagrove

Good food and nice relaxing atmosphere

Alan Butler

Amazing a must stop for food

greg Langevin

Didn't care for the bbq sauce, but good cut of ribs.

Michael Misiaszek

Always a great meal at the Blue Bus!
