Flaggstead Smokehouse is a cozy coffee shop that's been converted into a Texas style barbecue joint. What makes it Texas style? The owners are from the San Antonio area, the rub is simple, the meats are served unsauced and the star of the show is beef, not pork. Service is over-the-counter. The dining area consists of three small rooms (one a converted porch) and an outdoor deck built around the wide trunk of a shady tree. There's no bar but beer is available.
The place is cozy, the people are friendly and the barbecue is fresh. Flavors are subtle here, but the barbecue textures and juiciness are usually spot on. All things considered, Flaggstead is easily one of Connecticut's better barbecue joints.
