WHAT THE CRITICS HAD TO SAY…

“…if you’re really hungry, if you don’t feel like spending a lot of money, if you want to walk into a welcoming place teeming with smiling help — the last place I was so overwhelmed with waitstaff was in Beijing — then Smokin’ With Chris is the restaurant of your dreams.” [Bob Ryan, The Boston Globe]

Best BBQ in Hartford County 2012. Voted by real people near you! [CT Magazine, 2012]

“In a relatively short period of time, Smokin’ With Chris has established itself as a must- eat-at restaurant in the Southington and New Britain, Connecticut area…A welcoming, laid- back atmosphere is present here, accented by very good service. A large and varied menu, chock- full of mouth- watering dishes, is featured at Smokin’ With Chris.” [AssociatedContent, the People’s Media Company]

“The first time I stopped in, I was only going to grab a menu for future reference. But when I pulled into the parking lot and smelled the smoke behind the restaurant, I was past the point of no return.” [Pigtrip.net]

“One of those places that you can’t get down on. I’ve had full dinners, a quick brisket sandwich, long hangs with a group of friends… the service, food, and beer are always top notch.” [BeerAdvocate.com, Member Review]

“I had no idea that there was a legitimate BBQ place in the area, so I was pleasantly surprised. The smoker was fired up in the back lot…yummy. I ordered a beef brisket with fries. The meat was very flavorful, and the BBQ sauce was excellent. I look forward to coming back and trying some more food.” [BeerAdvocate.com, Member Review]
