Taino Smokehouse is an amazingly beautiful restaurant for anyone who loves western themed décor. The interior design will bring you right to Montana, Wyoming or New Mexico with its Native Indian presence. Big space. Two floors. Regulars say it's packed on weekends. I can see why.
The event I attended had three appetizers out for guests. One was a cubed bacon or pork belly - flavorful but chewy; another was sliced kielbasa - a reliable dish; and the third was a spicy shrimp which had some heat.
Some guests ordered off of the regular menu which has everything from house ground beef for hamburgers to dry aged beef from their own aging room for steak selections. Market priced. Impressive.
There are separate stations for baked desserts and takeout or food by the pound orders , with tables to sit down and eat after picking up if desired, but they did not look open now. The bar is really large and well stocked.
4.8 rating, just short of five, because I didn't actually have an entrée or barbecue dish so I can't judge their kitchen fully. The environment alone, however, is worth the price of a drink if not more.
Had the chance to visit Tainos Primehouse recently and I really enjoyed it. Ive been to the Middletown location a few times, so I was pumped to check out the higher scale Meriden Location. Everything was great, the staff was very helpful and all the food came out really fast.
We started with the bbq egg rolls that were pretty good. For my main, I ordered the brisket that was very flavorful. Super moist and very tender. The sides were ok, but the cornbeard was the standout. That brown butter hit on another level. I was also impressed with their drink selections. Theres a good selection of local beers to choose from.
Overall, a Great place for a higher quality steak or bbq dining experience.
As you get out your car and walk from the parking lot towards the building the aroma of food is distinctly delicious and starts your appetite.
Upon entering the building, you are greeted by a delicious aroma and the house. Inside is suitable for all numbers and types of customers. You can sit at a table, in a cozy booth, as a group, or individually at the bar that is strategically placed away from distracting other customers seating arrangements.
The service is very attentive, but not overbearingly. The food matches the delicious fresh aroma but it's quality enhances the taste experience. They even have a house version of mustard, and the taste was a delightful surprise. Any time of year this location and it's food is an appropriate selection. The prices are very reasonable for the portion and quality of food.
My wife and I met friends for an early Saturday night dinner (5:30pm). They were sold out of a few things such as steak, ribs, and a dessert or two because they were so busy. Some may criticize that, to me, it speaks to their popularity and quality of taste and presentation. The environment was great for conversation. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. Our server, Derek, was top notch. Friendly. Attentive. Excellent attitude. I would definitely eat here again and recommend it to my friends.
Stopped in for afternoon drinks on a whim, and the drinks were FANTASTIC! Great flavors, strong, and love the fancy large ice cube. Beautiful decor too. Have to come back for dinner sometime!
Other places have good food. But Taino was amazing! The atmosphere, the decor, the staff and the food! Hands down, best brisket I've ever had...ever! Got a chance to see the manager working with and leading the staff... well-oiled machine. We'll be back soon!
