Reviews For OZ n BONES BBQ

Great BBQ and beer selection at this historic location. Their Mac and cheese was delicious with extra cheese and bacon. The ribs are tender and the brisket has great smoked flavor. The cornbread could be a dessert, it was so good. The local BBQ sauces add just the right sweet flavor to each bite. The separate beer and wine bar was staffed by a knowledgeable and friendly gentleman who provided good drink recommendations and kept the dining area tidy. We will definitely come again the next time we visit Colchester.

Food was delicious! I'm still thinking about the maple butter! What impressed us most was the customer service; a rare thing to find nowadays! The two young ladies greeted us and gave great recommendations about what to order!

Awesome food. We were in town for the UConn graduation and picked up trays of brisket, chicken, baked beans, bacon Mac & cheese, corn bread and rolls to bring back to our AirBNB. It was about 250 for all that. It was excellent, really good. Super friendly and highly recommend it.

Holy smokes, this place is awesome! I got the burnt ends in a bowl with Mac n cheese and baked beans. My wife got the brisket, Cole slaw and Mac n cheese. It was really, so good. Place was nice, we love the blues! The staff were so nice and they all seemed genuinely happy - which I think shows in the food and the service. I absolutely highly recommend. Great food, blues, good people, 10/10.

I was very happy. Good food, cooked beautifully, good portion size, great sauces and reasonable prices. It's a little odd to order at a counter and pay for your meal first, then pay for alcohol at a different counter but it was fine. If that helps them to keep the prices reasonable, I'm all for it. Its about a 25 minute ride for me but I'll be back... soon.

Amazing place, fast service, very friendly staff, and I cannot hype up the meat enough. Had brisket and pulled chicken platter, was delicious. Thank you

My husband and I were in town recently and decided to stop by this BBQ spot, and I’m so glad we did! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The pork was incredibly tender, packed with flavor, and just melted in my mouth. The restaurant itself was clean and comfortable, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, making it easy to relax and enjoy our meal. We’ll definitely be coming back the next time we’re in the area!
