Sweet T's Restaurant + Bar

Everything I have eaten here is delicious. This is the best barbecue I have ever had. I have to eat gluten free, so my favorites are the brisket, the pulled pork, the salmon entre, and the rib salad. The staff is knowledgeable about which dishes are celiac safe and made some great recommendations! The cocktails are also so amazing! Dining here is an experience. Thank you for a great evening every time!

As a fan of real (by which I mean low and slow) barbecue, I'm usually looking for the dumpy, back-of-a-seedy bar kinda joint, but I just happened to find myself in Windsor with a recommendation for Sweet T's. This north of the North Bay spot is anything but a dive and proves, occasionally, even a book that looks like a snooze fest by the cover could end up being a satisfying pulpy romp on the inside. I went straight to the heart of barbecue, ordering up a brisket plate with collards (called "greens" on the menu so as not to offend) and was shocked to find a giant pile of beef, slow cooked for what I would guess is at least 10 hours, that melted in your mouth like butter and laced with bits of caramelized bark. I haven't had a better brisket in California and in case you're worried your Cali friends might not join you for a meat-fest, Sweet T's offers plentiful salads along with fried okra and brussel sprouts. The best part is the meat is grass-fed, the chicken is organic, and if you are gluten-free, like this "don't come at me with those biscuits" cowboy, you can eat nearly everything on the menu, including the slightly sweet, and peppery barbecue sauce. The only reason I took a 🌟 off my review is Sweet T's makes you pay for your meaty sins and if you aren't careful and imbibe too much from their extensive wine and locally brewed beer menu, you might end up paying almost $20 for a hamburger.
