"I was heading back to the ferry from a project in Connecticut when I realized I had a choice of putting the pedal to the meta and hoping to make the 12:15 ferry to Port Jeff, or stop for lunch and take the 1:45. I opted for the latter. So I 've been on a BBQ kick for a while, but Joey C 's has cured me for a while. I got there about 12 and found plenty of parking. Walked in and found a table right away. So far so good right. Well I ordered a BBQ BRISKET platter which came with two sides. Unfortunately they were out of my first picks so I had to settle. On the table is a bucket with knives and forks. Just pick out what you want. Hmmmm OK. Roll of paper towels hanging off the side of the table. Again OK. Food comes out and to start the sides I settled for are like warm. I 'm funny like that, I like my food hot, not scolding, just hot. Next I have a plate of BBQ Brisket which is also Luke warm. If did u mention that I like my food hot? To boot the brisket is floating in watery BBQ sauce. Didn 't really feel like BBQ. The restaurant is filled with customers now and everyone is saying how good it is. It it me or a Connecticut thing? Now I 'm ready to leave and have a leisurely drive to the ferry. Next problem, now the parking lot is full and just trying to maneuver and get out is a task. Maybe good BBQ for Connecticut but sorry not for me. Seems like I 've been in Connecticut a lot lately and I know there are many other choices. I 'll be trying them but putting BBQ on hold for awhile."
