I loved the ribs, but I was not a fan of the sauce or sides. Well executed, but not my style.
August 2009 I was driving from Burlington, VT to Hartford,CT and had to pull off the highway to answer nature's call when i stumbled upon The 9th Wonder of the World. After ordering one of every item available on the menu, I learned just what REAL BBQ is. They also set a new standard in Authenticity, Uniqueness, and Tradition that I've rarely see rivaled, from Bangor, ME - Hartford, CT. Finding decent BBQ was my father's quest for the Holy Grail. So I returned home with my plunder and he agreed. The Definition of BBQ is at Curtis' BAR*B*Q
My main disappointment was the sauce, which while well-executed was not a style I like. It was similar to a buffalo wing sauce... Very heavy on the vinegar. I don't think it qualifies as a vinegar mop, but I'm not sure.
This place is cooler than cool. We live in CT and heard about him, added this as a priority stop. Friendly guy, friendly family. Food was mind blowing. His life story is fascinating. He's famous, and for a good reason. If i lived closer, i would go there every day
Hadn't been there in few yrs. This time going there was worse service ever. The young lady at window was kinda rude n short with people, definitely not the right person to work with customers! I will be going back. I hope the service is better than today. Road up with two friends. We were on our bikes. Definitely wasn't worth the 3hr ride one way today.
Personally I prefer ribs with a Carolina mustard sauce, or a Kansas City molasses-tomato based sauce. (Next time I go up there, I'll be bringing my own homemade sauce. I'll hide it in a flask or something).
I think the sauce Curtis makes probably is much better suited to the chicken he makes, but I didn't try the chicken on my visit. Next time I will.
4 stars because of the lack of sauce options, and because the sides didn't blow me away. But the quality of the meat was fantastic, and the atmosphere can't be beat.
The ribs were nicely cooked, tender, but with a satisfying bite to them. The baked beans were not sweet at all, which is okay, and might be terrific for some people.
Curtis B-B-Q is an open air cookery with picnic tables. Rusting machinery and lots of dogs helps make a memorable lunch stop. If the food were only better, this place would be fantastic. Unfortunately, the meats (pork & chicken) were only so-so as were the side dishes. A large parking lot and easy access to I-91 north and southbound makes it an easy stopping place. Cash only and the toilets are Port-a-Johns.
