LoginWelcome to Chester's Barbecue™
How great barbecue came to Connecticut…..
Chester left East Lyme right after high school to seek his fortune in the Marine Corps. After active duty he moved to Kansas City and quickly fell in love with the local cuisine.
After stops in St. Louis, Omaha and Chicago, he returned home to Connecticut to open Chester’s Barbecue. The original store was 300 SF, eight seats and one tiny smoker. Within six months he was sleeping in the store to keep up with the demand.
Barbecue varies by region so we try to cover the gambit from Texas beef brisket to mid-Atlantic pulled pork. We even added corned beef with mustard sauce after some customer prodding on St. Paddy’s Day.
We hope you enjoy our barbecue as much as we enjoy bringing it to you. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We are a family owned business and want to make it right.
God Bless - The Dugas Family

| Can you believe it, descent bbq in Connecticut? Can you believe it, descent bbq in Connecticut? I was surprised how good the brisket was, tho not as smokey as I'm used to being from Texas, largely due to the gas jet style smoker, but that doesn't take away from a crude understanding of the meat and barbecueing process they have. | |

| I'm from Texas and grew up with a family that cooked BBQ all the time. My family now owns and operates its own restaurant and I was so impressed with Chester's BBQ that I went back and shook the cooks hand after my first time here. |
