Hindsight BBQ

Was looking for a good BBQ place to take my mom for her birthday and this place definitely met all our expectations. We got the regular and baby back ribs, brisket, honey cornbread, bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños, coleslaw, greens, and of course, burnt ends, which were definitely the highlight of the meal! The pricing isn't exactly cheap, but it's worth every penny and not much different from other BBQ spots. The actual indoor seating area is pretty small but nicely put together, and there is plenty of outdoor seating if you're into that. The food was all perfectly cooked and fell right off the bone. Definitely will be back and if you're on the fence, just try it out! You can thank me later.

Got some good bbq food here recently. Enjoyed the pulled pork and ribs. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Restaurant was clean. Prices were fair. Also they have a really cute outside dining area.

⭐ Honest Review: Hindsight Barbecue I stopped by this barbecue spot recently, and here’s my honest take on what I tried 👇🏽 • 🥔 Potato Salad – The presentation looked amazing, but the flavor was extremely bland. I’d give it a 1/10. • 🧀 Macaroni & Cheese – It was okay. Not the best, not the worst — I’d rate it a 3/10. • 🌭 Sausage – Pretty average overall. I’d give this a 3/10 as well. • 🥩 Brisket – Flavor was decent, and the portion size was generous. However, mine had a lot of fat, so I’d rate it a 5/10. • 🍖 Ribs (Baby Back) – Taste-wise, I’d give them a 6/10, but they were extremely thin — probably the thinnest ribs I’ve ever had. Portion size was surprisingly small compared to the brisket. On the bright side, the cook was super friendly (wish I caught his name!) and really made the experience enjoyable. Customer service 10/10 was great, and that goes a long way. 👏🏽 Overall, it was a mixed experience — good presentation and service, but some of the dishes lacked flavor or consistency.

First time ordering here. We asked for extra BBQ sauce and we ordered to-go. Did not receive even 1 BBQ sauce let alone "extra". Brisket and ribs were tender but dry. Sausage link was good but chewy. The food was also barely warm and the potato salad was mashed potatoes and runny. Mac and cheese was the best thing I tried very good. Will possibly try again soon. Maybe because we ordered to go.

Get the brisket only if you’re trying to start a fire and need kindling!! I used to go here and it was pretty good. Used to love the pork belly. I stopped because I got sick of paying $75 and not ever getting bbq sauce, even after requesting that they make sure it’s in the bag. Decided to try it again. Wow has it gone downhill. The brisket had to be leftover from the day before. It’s so dry I didn’t even eat it. Other things were ok. Nothing to write home about. The only positive is that I don’t have any reason to go to Waterbury anymore.

If you like BBQ grilled meat, this is an excellent option. I highly recommend the ribs and wings, especially because they have outdoor seating and indoor seating for the colder months. An unparalleled flavor with perfectly cooked BBQ ribs that melt just by touching the meat. The chicken wings were super good, we loved them, and the cornbread was perfect for the kids. The drinks were unbeatable, and the heat was perfect that day. We decided to eat outside to enjoy the outdoor experience. I recommend: PITMASTER $145.99 PRIME BEEF BRISKET, HALF RACK OF BABY BACK RIBS, BBQ PULLED PORK, HOUSE SMOKED SAUSAGE, 6 PIECE PIT SMOKED WINGS, MAC & CHEESE, BBQ BAKED BEANS, COLLARD GREENS, COLESLAW, 4 PIECES OF HONEY BUTTER CORNBREAD. (FEEDS 3-4) If it is a large group, in my case we were a group of 9 people. A little bit expensive, but it's OK .

Found this place randomly on a visit to CT and both my husband and I were blown away. We went for lunch, got the brisket platter with cornbread and the pulled chicken sandwich with the sidewinder fries. Everything was delicious, moist, tender, and flavorful; I don’t particularly care for smoked chicken but I even enjoyed the sandwich! The service was friendly and helpful and the food came out very quickly. We were thrilled to find this spot!
