If I could give a million stars I would ! Got this on my lunch break and couldn't even eat it right away still amazing, ordered based off reviews and couldn't be happier, flavor, TEXTURE I'm very iffy with a weird texture chicken or meat Haven't had GOOD quality chicken in so long ! Burnt tips alone or dipped in chilli or white bbq sauce is just... Staff was adorable and so sweet ! Go here. Now.

Always look forward to coming here. The staff is welcoming and the BBQ is best in the New London area. The wonderful smell hits you at the door. I especially love the Pulled Pork and sweet potatoes. Hubby finds the burnt ends here his favorite

As soon as you walk in, the smells hit you and are amazing......I ordered the brisket with tater salad and Mac and cheese(you get to pick from a list) and let me just say ; wow, was the brisket tender and yummy.....the Mac and cheese was great, the potato salad (for me) was to much vinegar, and the cornbread was good ..... although a little pricey for the portion size, if you're in the area and want great BBQ, go to chesters!

So let me start by saying that I called this place first before we decided to make this the destination for dinner before a concert at Mohegan. I called them because I noticed they are on the phantom of Gourmet website for when you buy a phantom Gourmet gift card or your gifted a gift card you can go to this restaurant using said gift card. I just wanted to double check with them before we showed up and tried to use a gift card and they say sorry you can't use it. The female that answered the phone first said no then I proceeded to explain to her that that business is on phantom Gourmet website. Said that the person who would really know the answer to my question isn't back to work until Monday, well that's not gonna help me seeing how I wanted to go on a Saturday. So my husband and I ordered the same thing a to meat platter. Both of us got brisket and pulled pork. Had gotten the baked beans and mac & cheese for his sides and I had gotten mac & cheese and the brisket chili. I know my husband wasn't a huge fan of the pulled pork because it's vinegar-based so he threw on his barbecue sauce and mixed it up so that it would not be so vinegar tasting. The brisket chili was OK. Normally if you cook something and let it simmer long enough, it gets very tender but the brisket in this chili was very very tough. Mac & cheese could be better. Their cornbread I don't know why they give you a little package of butter to put on because you would not be able to spread the butter on it. Their cornbread is very crumbly and doesn't really taste like cornbread either. All in all, it was OK, but we've had better elsewhere (in Massachusetts). I can't say whether or not they would've taken my gift cards because I totally forgot to hand them over when I went to make payment Maybe if they see this review, they can answer whether or not, they would take those gift cards which they should because they're featured as one of the many restaurants on that website. For being around 4:30 PM on a Saturday they were quite dead. There was no one else in the restaurant and its pretty big restaurant.
