BBQ Restaurants in Connecticut – Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

BBQ Restaurants in Connecticut

When Guy Fieri rolled into Connecticut with his red Camaro, he discovered that the Constitution State knows a thing or two about smoking meat. While the Nutmeg State might not be the first place that comes to mind for barbecue, the one standout joint featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives proves that Connecticut can hold its own in the smoky, sauce-slathered world of American BBQ.

Back in 2009, Guy made his way to Fairfield, where he found Wilson’s Holy Smoke BBQ serving up the kind of authentic, slow-smoked goodness that earns a solid 4.4-star rating from devoted fans. This Connecticut gem has kept its doors open and its smokers running, continuing to satisfy barbecue cravings in the region. Whether you’re craving tender brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, or classic pulled pork, Wilson’s Holy Smoke BBQ represents the best of what Connecticut’s Triple D-approved barbecue scene has to offer. It’s proof that great ‘cue knows no geographical boundaries.
