Hoodoo Brown BBQ

Top choice in Connecticut


A Texas road trip inspired this unlikely Connecticut cult classic, where brisket falls off your fork and leaves you speechless (because maybe your mouth is crammed full of it). Gunslinger photos and steer horns linger above the picnic-style tables, but the real star is the smoked meat, with sandwiches like Battle of Ridgefield (brisket, crispy pork, coleslaw) winning the day.

Located where Route 7 meets Route 35.
