Curtis Bar-B-Q

Frommer's Review

Just uphill from Exit 4 off I-91, you can smell the aroma of southern-style barbecue sizzling over flaming pits. This classic roadside joint, situated on a more or less empty lot next to a gas station, has a heap of charm despite itself. The self-serve restaurant consists of two blue school buses and a newer open-sided shed for dining; guests take their plunder to picnic tables scattered about the lot. Place your order, grab a seat, dig in, and enjoy. The wide price range is explained simply: small order of ribs: $4; slab: $20. Sizes in between also available. Owner Curtis Tuff (his business card says, simply, "Curtis Tuff, Prop.") is a kick, too; try to engage him in conversation if he's not too busy.
