B.T.'s Smokehouse

B.T.'s Smokehouse is a roadside barbecue business in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, that opened in 2007 and has been dubbed the best in New England. We strive to pay honor to the various regional BBQ establishments that can be found throughout the southern United States. You have a favorite BBQ joint no matter where you are from. In most places, BBQ is as important as, if not more important than, religion. BBQ is more than just turning on the grill and throwing a steak on it; it's a way of life. We're attempting to replicate that experience in New England. We are happy to serve top quality natural meats that have been dry rubbed and slow smoked with local cherry and hickory woods for up to 24 hours. Our passion and love for food is something we hope you will experience and taste in every mouthful of our food, from our humble beginnings in a roadside trailer to our current restaurant locations. We do what we do because of the smiles on our customers' cheeks and the quiet tables with the occasional moan and smacking lips. In Worcester, MA, we recently launched B.T.'s Fried Chicken and BBQ, as well as a concession stand at Polar Park, home of the WooSox, the Red Sox' AAA affiliate. “I try to cook my BBQ the way you think BBQ should taste. When you think about a pork rib, in your mind it is tender, succulent, ready to fall off the bone with a little smoke and glazed with a flavorful, spiced, sweet sauce. You want to lick your fingers – no need for a napkin. You want to dip the bone into the drippings that are left and then suck it dry.That’s the way I try to cook.” —Brian Treitman
