This roadhouse on Route 20, not far from Old Sturbridge Village, is the brainchild of Brian Treitman, a Culinary Institute of America alum who started B.T.’s in a trailer in 2007. The hardwood-smoked barbecue here is among the best in western New England. Pulled pork is the most popular item, derived from smoked pork butt that’s been dry-rubbed and smoked for up to 14 hours. The lengthy menu is posted on a chalkboard hanging over the order counter and next to the four-stool counter, which has a commanding view of the kitchen and carving station. In addition to the barbecue, be sure to try some of the fun sides and snacks, which have included cornmeal-battered chunks of andouille sausage, “sexy” grits, and Cheezy Bawlz of Love (oh, behave!). This tasty joint made our list of top barbecue restaurants in New England and was named a 2016 Yankee Editors’ Pick for “Best Barbecue.”
