Black-Eyed Sally's BBQ & Blues

Tastes like a hug from Mom! The food was absolutely delicious — the cheddar grits were so good we had to be extra at home! The butter milk Ranch sauce, which came with the fried green tomatoes, was sinful good. Our waitress Sierra was great and so friendly. You really can't go wrong here!

Big BBQ and Southern Food Joint in downtown Hartford. Food was really good and the service was perfect! Had Gumbo and Shrimp Po Boy. Decorated with blues and early R

(Last visit 7/29/2021. As a very popular and local favorite I was a few times in this place, but have never come to do a real Yelp review! Shame on me. Now it's time! atmosphere / appearance: This jewel is located in downtown Hartford on Asylum Street. It is located under the fantastic Pig 's Eye Pub and has a very casual but uplifting feeling. It is everywhere red, dark forests, high ceilings, great music and lots of space. There are 3 separate dining areas and even a place for live music. I haven't seen a show here for some time, but it's such a good time when they get a good jazz band here. Service: Daria took care of us! She was fast and made sure we had everything we needed. Food: So I tried her wings and her darkened catfish during this visit. Let's discuss the wings! The Buffalo taste was so heavenly. They tasted like they were smoked and then fried. They were so delicate, juicy and with great taste. I could have totally packed some of the other flavors and made a meal of them. Boom. For my entrée, I went for the Blackened Catfish and that's a court I wouldn't normally go for. I tried to expand my horizons and eat OTHER things next to the wings all the time. Lol. That catfish was delicious. It was beautifully salted, with incredibly rich, deep taste that just touched my soul. It was amazing. With the catfish comes cheesy geese garlicky green beans. Only the best side-dishes to complement the main. Value: So for $12.95 you get 8 wings and I think that's pretty decent. They are of good size, incredible taste and quality is just the next level. My Wels dinner was $17.95 and I think it's very good. It is a filling dinner with great flavors and I mean, what could you want more?! Finally, this place is great and there is a reason why it has been for so many years. Look at this place when you're in the area! There's so much they have to offer.

Okay, so if you're in this area, this place is a must to eat! The photos really don't make justice! The food was so damn good. One thing to note is that you need to book a reservation in advance because it fills up quickly. My friend and I sat at the bar and could eat and drink. Another thing I notice is that it closes at 9:30 a.m. on a Saturday I thought was particularly strange because it's the weekend and there were many people out there.

Basically open mic night meets Village Vanguard in Hartford Connecticut tonight. The jazz was great and food even better. Southern fried chicken. Done. The corn bread with honey butter was decadent. Actually some of the best collard greens I’ve ever had. Jazz flute was just icing on the cake. Did I mention the Sally’s Sip cocktail, Georgia Peach with gentle aromas like Buddha’s hand.
