I came to Groton from Kansas City for business. I was craving barbecue and Chester’s was down the street from my hotel. I had a Chiefs fleece on and as soon as I walked in, the owner Skip, struck up a conversation with me about the Chiefs. It turns out that he lived in Kansas City for 14 years. Very nice guy and very good conversation about my hometown of Kansas City. I tried the brisket, burnt ends, ribs, chili, collard greens and cornbread. It was all really good! The sweet barbecue sauce reminded me of Kansas City barbecue, which has of course, the best barbecue in the world. This barbecue reminded me of Kansas City’s barbecue. As I stated, it was very good and I will definitely go back if I’m ever back in Groton. Thanks Skip!

Decent BBQ for our area. I ordered a 2 meat combo.I ordered brisket, and burnt ends. I couldn't tell the which one was what though. (I kind of thought burnt ends were burnt to sort of melt the fat away. Both seemed pretty fatty.) But I am NOT a BBQ expert. So try it for yourself. OH YEAH... they have about 5 or 6 different BBQ sauces you can order. I tried peach today. It was quite good!

We had brisket, ribs, Mac n cheese, beans and it was all good! I really enjoyed the ribs with the sweet sauce. The cornbread is also such a staple.
