Black Diamond BBQ - Morristown, Vermont

Brittany N.

We were in Stowe in 2023 but this place was closed during our stay. We’ve been itching to get back and try it ever since. We’ve waited this long to have BBQ that was mediocre at best. Meat was all super tender but that was the only redeeming factor unfortunately. The sausage was greasy tasting, all of the meat was completely smothered in a very acidic tasting sauce so the *little that there was* flavor of the meat did not shine through.

To even stomach more than a few bites, I had to salt everything to what felt like an extreme. The Mac and cheese tasted like cheese flavored water- Kraft has more flavor. I’m not usually this hard in my reviews but for how much you have to spend here, it’s so very VERY not worth. I promise you can find better food elsewhere.

The food was fantastic! I was skeptical because I haven’t been a fan of most BBQ in New England.

The food was fantastic, the beer selection is top notch and the service was the best I’ve had in years.

We ate in as a group of 10 and the food was served quickly and drinks were refilled often.

10/10 would recommend.

Wow! What a fantastic experience and a great evening and dinner with my wife, son and his wife! This is the real deal - we had one of the meat platters to share amongst us and the Mac-N-Cheese was phenomenal! I’ve had BBQ all over the country and this stacks right up there with the best. To top it off, I left my Visa card in the black folder but had to leave the next morning. Jason confirmed he had it and mailed it out to our home the next day - very grateful.

BBQ pork was great! Chicken tenders were very thin and overcooked! The 13 dollar side of fries were ok! Coleslaw and pickled cubes were terrible! Service was absolutely horrible! Our server never said hello, never ever smiled, never said thank you!!!

This just happened to be the closest restaurant to the place we rented for vacation and WOW - so good! We had the mixed platter, and all the meats were incredible. Brisket was melt in your mouth tender. Didn’t love the slaw or pickles, but they were fine. I’d 100% go again (and again.)

As a local this was my first time going to BDB and I was sorely disappointed. Our server comes over after a long period of time to ask what drinks we would like and doesn’t take our order at this time even though we were ready. We wait another 10 min for her to come back with our drinks and she then takes our order. After the waiter leaves we take a sip of our drinks (we ordered Coke) and the drinks were flat. The food portions were not good, I am unsure of what all the rave reviews are talking about when they mention there are good portions. I ordered the turkey platter and got a mediocre portion of turkey with horrible bbq sauce on it, a side of cucumbers, and coleslaw that was the worst I’ve ever had, and two slices of bread. I ordered my child a cheeseburger and he ended up getting a smash burger. I had high expectations for this place considering the parking lot is always full and they are open only 3 days a week. Not sure what the hype is all about. I will also mention that seating is limited and there are maybe 8 tables.

Meh. Nothing special. BBQ sauce seemed “out of a bottle.” Expensive for what you get. Smoked brisket had not a hint of smoke. Bartender was not particularly friendly. What bbq joint doesn’t know diners will need more than one napkin?

Black Diamond never disappoints. They have the best BBQ around. Our usual go-tos are the Nashville Hot Chicken on a biscuit and a BBQ platter of some sort (pictured is their half rib platter). This time we also got some maple habanero baked beans which definitely packed a punch! Love the pickled veggies and the slaw (which is vinegary, not creamy). We also got a slice of key lime pie for dessert that was the perfect ending to an already great meal. Most BBQ places skimp on their dessert options thinking most customers won't leave room - if you go to Black Diamond, you have to force yourself to leave room because it would be a total shame to pass up on their amazing desserts.
