My Must-Order: Two-Meat Sampler (Beef Brisket & Pulled Pork)
When I pulled up to Chubs Blue Pig BBQ in Attleboro, the mouthwatering aroma of wood smoke greeted me right in the parking lot. They smoke their meats right on site, and that rich, savory smell immediately set high expectations for my lunch.
Chubs is located in what I guess was the old cinema that has been broken up. It isn’t the main entrance but along one side.
Walking inside, the space has a wonderfully welcoming. It is small, cozy, and unpretentious, complete with an open kitchen counter, plus a charming corner showcasing local artisan products.
The staff made the experience truly special with their genuine hospitality. Being my first time there, I wasn't entirely sure what to order, but they walked me through the choices with big smiles and plenty of playful banter.
When it came to ordering the extra barbecue sauce, there were so many to choose from; again, the staff came to my aid and suggested their most popular, but also asked me what I liked. I left with two amazing choices!
What’s On the Menu?
There is something for everyone on the menu, whether or not you like barbecue.
I opted for the Two- Meat Platter because it gave me a bit of everything, and I would recommend it if you are visiting for the first time. You get generous portions of two meats, two distinct sauces on the side, and two classic sides. It gives you a complete picture of their pitmaster skill in one meal.
Local Tip: This sampler is ideal if you want to sample different smoke profiles before settling on a favorite sandwich for your next trip.
For my two meats, I chose the smoked beef brisket and the pulled pork. For my sides, I chose the baked beans and macaroni & cheese.
Smoked Beef Brisket
The beef brisket at Chubs Blue Pig BBQ is executed with serious care. The bark on the outside has a deeply flavorful, seasoned crust, and the meat beneath is remarkably tender and infused with authentic smoke. It was so juicy and well-seasoned that I found myself eating most of it straight off the fork without adding any sauce at all.
Tip: Try a bite completely plain first to appreciate the smoker's craft before dipping into their delicious extra sauce!
Slow-Smoked Pulled Pork
The pulled pork is equally impressive, offering shreds of pork that strike the right balance between natural meat sweetness and subtle wood smoke. When tossed with a light splash of their house barbecue sauce, the flavors pop even more, though it easily stands on its own merit.
Tip: Save half of your pulled pork for later—it reheats beautifully at home for an easy meal the next day.
Beyond the Platter
Chubs offers more than just barbecue platters and meals. Here’s an idea of their menu:
Barbecue Sandwiches
They offer all of their meats as sandwiches each with one side.
Smoked Turkey Sandwich
A Variety of Chicken Sandwiches
They even have a Nashville Chicken Sandwich
Burgers
Made of freshly ground brisket and a side
Wings
Just Smoked Meats
You can get their amazing smoked meats by the pound!
I might get these and then serve them with my own Buttermilk Coleslaw, German Potato Salad, or even some yummy Potato Pancakes.
Good to Know Before You Go
Getting a Table: Seating is unassigned and casual—you order at the counter, take a seat at a table or the window counter, and pick up your food when it is called. Keep in mind they operate Thursday through Sunday until sold out, though they also offer a non-BBQ lunch menu on Wednesdays featuring sandwiches, burgers, and wings!
Parking & Location: Parking is convenient and stress-free, with plenty of spots right next to the building, right by the smoker.
Value & Portions: The portion sizes are generous for the price. As a single diner, my platter easily yielded two full meals, making it a fantastic value whether you plan to share or save leftovers. If you are a bigger eater, I’m sure you would find the platter plenty for a meal.
