My Husband and I stopped in today at around 2:30 and we were the only ones in the resteraunt which was nice :) The waiter promptly took our order which was a Memphis pulled pork sandwich with a side of cowboy beans for me and my husband got the Texas pulled pork with two sides of cowboy beand and a slice of the best cornbread we have ever had. Everything was delicious and freshly made and was brought to our table in no time at all. Being from the deep south I have had all kinds of bbq some good and some bad but Noble Smokehouse is among the very best I have tried and I would highly recommend trying them as you will not be disappointed. Thank you for taking time to read this review and hopefully you will enjoy your experience here just as I did More...

Phenomenal smokehouse right here in New England! A truly authentic experience. It's got a nice modern aesthetic but with enough BBQ touches to remind you of the delicious smokiness you're about to partake in. That's not to say the alluring smell of burning wood and sizzling meat isn't enough to do that because it certainly is. I can't stand going to a BBQ joint and you can't even smell them smokin'! Noble definitely gets that right. The selection is top notch. The staples of course- brisket, chicken, pork are all on point, but the sides are what really sets them apart. The beans, mac and cornbread were all delicious. The pork belly burnt ends were sold out so you know they're good! And the staff were very friendly and helpful. And their choices in beer were tasteful as well. If you're in Mystic, I'd pass on the kitschy seafood and do yourself a flavor and grab some BBQ! More...

Best bbq I've found in the area in years. Delicious, fall off the bone ribs, great selection of bbq sauces to choose from, phenomenal brisket Mac and cheese. Also ordered the traditional Mac salad and cowboy beans which were both fantastic. Even their cheddar jalapeño cornbread was amazing. No question we will definitely be returning. More...

EXCELLENT FOOD. Our second take out order was much better than our first. Appreciate the friendly, great staff. The smoked turkey plate was wonderful, as was the pulled pork sandwich. The slaw, cowboy beams and brisket mac and cheese were all exceptional. Enjoyed the cornbread and  corn chowder. We'll be back. More...

Wow! Doesn't look like much on the outside but they clearly know what they are doing in there!! The pulled pork was the best I've ever had and I can't wait to try out the rest of the menu. Â Really excellent food!!

Pork belly burnt ends BLT was out of this world! I also really enjoyed the pulled pork, cowboy beans, and slaw. Brisket was pretty good too. Â One thing I liked about the beans in particular was that it wasn't overly salty or sweet. Nicely balanced flavor that went well with all the meats. More...

Kudks to Noble for environmentally friendly packging, no plastic. Sides were excellent, although they shorted me the cowboy beans, which I really wanted to try and were on my receipt. Ribs were dry, although they provide sauces, but I prefer them cooked with sauce. My wife's brisket sandwich was so fatty she couldn't eat it. Needed trimming  before chopping it. Kind of disappointong for premium prices. More...

This place was a big disappointment, we ordered the brisket, this was absolutely a terrible choice as the meat was dry and lacked flavor. The MacnCheese was not cheesy and just awful. The Corn Chowder had great flavor but was to thick. I hope that this place can get the food right as they are in a prime market. More...

Literally the worst bbq I've ever had, and so expensive. Don't waste your money. I'm from eastern Carolina... this is not it. Everything was under seasoned and the brisket was undercooked, instead of the fatty layer melting into it there was just a huge layer of fat attached to the meat and the meat was tough. Very disappointed! More...

Stopped by for lunch. Ordered the pulled pork platter with slaw and Mac & cheese. I chose Alabama white and Kansas City sauces! Was really impressed by the amount of food I got and it's flavors. It came with 2 pieces of jalapeño cheddar cornbread so that was a plus too. The pork was tender and juicy, almost no fat to it. The Mac was super creamy. The cheese flavor was really mild so that was a little disappointing but honestly I wasn't bothered by it. The slaw was great. It was creamy and fresh. Loved it! They had local sodas and brew so I went with a cream soda. Great lunch! More...

Tables are socially distanced and that made me feel comfortable. The mudslide frozen dessert should be the next big craze! ! We are definitely coming in next time we are in Mystic to try more! Owner was super nice and was working outside in the heat but took time out to chat with us. More...

Usually when I'm up visiting my parents, I avoid bbq places. I live in NC, and frankly bbq up here is generally lackluster. That being said, I was searching for a place to order pick up from for a picnic yesterday with my mom and located this absolute GEM. I ordered on the app, which was super easy. We got the brisket sandwich, half chicken, with cowboy beans, brisket mac and cheese, and collards. The sauces we got were the KC, Alabama white, and Memphis. Walking in to pick it up, the restaurant itself is unassuming-- simple decor, butcher block paper on the tables, Johnny Cash on the radio. I picked up our food (which was complete and ready to go when I walked in on time), and we went to our spot in the village to eat. Oh my gosh. Y'all. It's real bbq. Like wood smoked yummy amazing bbq, like I get in the south. The sauces were pretty spot on, tho the Alabama white was a little thicker than I prefer it. The mac and cheese was REAL, the cowboy beans tasty, and the collards were absolutely delicious and FRESH. Brisket sandwich? Tasted like home cooking, with cheese and onions that were caramelized in butter. Perfect smoked chicken, tender and juicy. Cornbread? Honestly better than I get in the south. Overall, take it from me-- they're legit. More...

Stopped in early on a Thursday night with our family and basically ran the whole menu between the three of us. The ribs were tender and delicious (says our picky eater 8-year-old), the half-chicken was perfect and the brisket was, as per my Texas-born BBQ loving husband, juicy and not too fatty. We loved the macaroni salad, beans, cornbread and macaroni and cheese. The service was personable and the Johnny Cash on the stereo was perfect. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in Mystic. More...

This place is good but I wasn't completely blown away by it. I had the brisket sandwich on a brioche which comes with cheddar & caramelized onions & St Louis bbq sauce. I do not recommend it with the cheddar bc it dominates the flavor profile. Most customers want to taste the smoked brisket not the melted cheddar. I also don't understand WHY they would preselect a bbq sauce for their selections I personally LUV N. Carolina BBQ sauce bc it's mustard & vinegar based & it's deliciously savory. NS has about 6-7 different BBQ Sauces to choose from which is why it was surprising to me they selected one for a sandwich? BBQ sauces are extremely personal. NS needs to let the customer choose what their preference is with their menu selections. (The Kitchen can always put a recommendation under each item similar to a wine pairing!) I ordered a side of the cowboy beans which were just okay. They were a mixture of kidney & black beans & were pretty glutinous & I didn't care for the flavor which was pretty odd & frankly unimpressive. The other menu items sounded fantastic especially the pulled pork & jalapeño cornbread. I think they have solidly good food but they need to improve some items. The structure was aesthetically very nice. Very clean modern line s with a high ceiling & large windows for an abundance if natural light. They had a cute shaded patio area in the front. The service was friendly, helpful, courteous & efficient. I will definitely return & try some other items. More...

I wouldn't know.... Went in at 2:15 today, Friday afternoon. Place was empty except for two tables outside. The waitress was super friendly and patient while I was ordering. While ordering, the cook was hanging out the kitchen window listening to every item I ordered. He then watched me pay. The waitress says 10 min and he says we don't have any brisket- now why would he wait until I was completely done ordering and paid to say something? He said it's going to be about 30 minutes so I said OK I'll go wait in my car for 30 minutes. He then started shaking his head and mumbling something so I said just canceled the order. Apparently they didn't need my business today even though I was willing to wait 30 minutes for a $50 plus order. Too bad for the lovely waitress who lost out on a $15 tip for a take out order. Two Stars for the waitress. More...

Â They have several sauces to choose, from mild to holy cow, I need water! Â They put their own spin on cornbread & macaroni & cheese. Â Their Cowboy Beans are awesome.

We were so excited to learn about Noble Smokehouse after seeing a Facebook post by the Ocean Community Chamber of Commerce. We have been waiting for a good BBQ place in the area (we had been driving an hour to Hartford for BBQ) and Noble delivered! The pulled pork was COOKED TO PERFECTION and I don't say that lightly. Also their coleslaw was some of the best I've ever had. Can't say enough - really impressed and can't wait to go back. More...

If you're in the area you will probably smell their delicious food as you drive by. Â They have a big smoker behind the restaurant. Â They're located at the Mystic Train Station. Â Absolutely cannot say enough good things about their BRISKET. Â Tender and juicy!! Â I always get the sandwich because I love the brioche rolls. Â The cowboy beans are delicious, too. Â We usually go there once a week. Â It's rather small inside. Â They have about 6 or 7 tables inside and a couple tables outside on a busy road. Â (Route 1) Â We always get our food to go and either bring it home or drive over to Williams Beach and sit there and eat if it's a nice, sunny day. Â We highly recommend Noble Smokehouse and you should give them a try if you're a brisket lover like us. More...

Ordered online for takeout was easy. Decided to try the popular pulled pork sandwich and smokehouse combination platter. It seems everything is carefully considered and uniquely tasty. For example, the pickles in the pulled pork have a crisp crunch and a side dressing complements the interior ingredients. Collard greens had a nice spicy/vinegary kick to it, and the cornbread was speckled with jalapeño.  The ribs and pulled pork were moist and flavorful. Look forward to opportunity to return! More...

Wow, I wish I could give this spot 6 stars!! We were walking by and smelled their food and had to stop in for lunch. We were greeted by a  very friendly server and everything was amazing from there. We got the pulled pork which came with two sauces and two sides and everything was delightful. We went with the sauces our waitress recommended and they were very complimentary to the pork and added a lot of flavorful! As sides we got mac n cheese and sautéed kale. We also tried the pulled pork nachos and a poblano corn chowder, neither disappointed. I always love a barbecue place that can nail the sides and the meat and they certainly delivered! I hope to be back in Mystic soon and this place will be a must to eat at again! More...

The brisket is sublime! My husband enjoyed his ribs and (ample) cornbread. We both thought the mac & cheese (cheese-laden shells w bits of brisket mixed in) and the beans (so thick and filling, they was almost like chili) were spectacular. Â I've had the burnt ends previously ( available on a first come, first served basis) -- decadent, delicious, salty, smoky morsels. Each time I've called for takeout-- the food has been ready to go in 10 minutes. These folks know what they're doing-- and lucky for us, they do it Mystic. More...
