Frontier B Q - Fairfield

The barbeque is worth the wait. No inside seating but there is outside seating. Very friendly staff.

Loved the food and picnic style atmosphere. So sorry to see you are closed

Outdoor seating with an order and pay window under a covered porch. This place is cash only! The food was good and took less than a minute to get my food after ordering. Peanut butter pie had no peanut butter flavor. There was too much whipped cream. The chocolate/peanut butter brownie was great.

Frontier is my husband and I's favorite place to get BBQ in the area. They primarily focus on their catering business, but when they are open for limited times we always try to go. My husband's favorite is the regular pit beef with their original BBQ sauce, and mine is the spicy beef with spicy BBQ sauce. We've also had their fresh cut fries, baked beans, coleslaw, and coconut pie. They have a wonderful shaded sitting area as well with picnic tables, pavilions, and a fire pit. The cashier at the window was incredibly kind and friendly as well. Keep a look out on their Facebook page for the next time they're open!

I visited Frontier on the recommendation of my barber, who said it was the only good bbq in the area. I now realize that while he is a good barber, he has no idea what good bbq is. That is, if what I had was representative of Frontier 's normal offering. Maybe it isn 't, and I was there on a freaky, off day where everything went bad. But what I had was so bad that I won 't go back and give them another shot. My wife and I came by on the first day of their season. An hour drive. A half hour wait. That 's all okay good bbq demands such things. But I suspect going on the first day might have been a mistake for other reasons, such as, they may have been training a new pit man, I have no idea. We also came by only an hour after opening, to avoid end of the day dry bbq. We really wanted to give the place every chance to put on a good show. It didn 't work. Everything ranged from mediocre (the limp and greasy french fries and soupy baked beans) to bone dry but flavorful (the pit beef, which was made edible by mayo, salt, and pepper) to inedible (the ribs). Those ribs... wow. The worst ribs I can ever recall having. Really... unimaginably dry. Smothered in a one dimensional sweet sauce that lacks any contrast or umami. The ribs were not only poor in execution, but you could tell they were poor in concept. Let 's get one thing straight, though there was a 30 minute line to get this stuff, so a lot of people either really like it or are going to be in for a rude surprise. I suspect they like it, and thus, you might too. I am just telling you what it was so you can decide for yourself if you fancy bone dry baby back ribs smothered in a boring sauce. If you do, God bless you and go for it!
