Where to eat Barbecue food in Hartford: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Best Barbecue restaurants nearby. Discover the best Barbecue food in Hartford. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for Barbecue restaurants near you.. From its origins as a Connecticut River trading post in 1633, Hartford has become not only the state capital but also the insurance capital of the world, with a slew of historical attractions, a thriving arts and entertainment center, a revitalized riverfront and beautiful parks and public gardens. It was here that the lovable Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer were born in the imagination of celebrated author Mark Twain and immortalized on paper during the writer's Hartford years. Twain's home and those of fellow literary figures Harriet Beecher Stowe and Noah Webster are open to the public. The Wadsworth Atheneum, the oldest public art museum in the U.S., houses Pilgrim-Century furniture, the Amistad collection and a special treasure hunt system to entice kids to explore the museum's works. If your timing is right (end of June, beginning of July), you'll catch the Elizabeth Park rose gardens in bloom, but fall is also great for brilliant leaf colors, and spring yields colorful gardens and blossoming trees. For a bird's-eye view of the city, visit the observation deck of Travelers Tower, where you might also spot two resident falcons.

The Brazil Grill on Park Street in Hartford is a neighborhood restaurant frequented by the local residents. For non-locals the restaurant may be difficult to find since there is no signage on the building.The interior of the restaurant is moderate in size with nicely spaced tables and very clean:the staff is friendly.There is a small buffet to start: rice, beans, salads, pastas, and some hot dishes like chicken stroganoff (recommended) and shrimp in a buttery sauce (very good). Then to the main reason for visiting the Brazil Grill - the carving station. Several different meats are listed: beef rib, sirloin, chicken wrapped in bacon, pork sausage, chicken wings, etc.. All the meats are skewered and come out very hot and juicy. You ask for whatever you want and as much as you want. But be aware - the dish is weighed and you pay by the pound. You are given a number and you have a running tab - so return for more meat or buffet and show your number.There is a adequate selection of soft drinks and beer to accompany your meal. Also, there is a nice selection of desserts, if you have room. Suggest the Brazilian flan - light finish to a heavy meal.
