Melissa VMay 5, 2013This place is to die for. Me and the bf split a pork belly and brisket tray with Mac and cheese and the farm salad, which was amazinnnnggg. The smell, the atmosphere, the drink list >>>>
Noah WeissMarch 8, 2016Pulled pork, biscuit with honey butter, and the crunchy Mac n cheese were highlights. Meat platter w/ 3 meats can easily fill two people for $26. Great beer and cocktail selection, too.
grace cJanuary 3, 2018Love this place! Great beer selection and BBQ. MUST order the biscuits with honey butter, it will not disappoint!! Bartenders and servers very friendly. I will return.
You can now order their famous biscuits individually instead of by buckets of 4. Watch out though, they are huge and filling but delicious and were even voted #1 in the country by Forbes Magazine.
Definitely get the biscuits. I typically get the prime brisket, sometimes the chopped brisket, and less often the fried chicken. Coleslaw is good, but the Mac & cheese/cheesy broccoli rice are better
Miguel VarelaSeptember 27, 2018OMG! The flavor of the meat was great, loved every single piece of it. The corn was so tasty also. Best service in town, specially by Rachel.
Alina LaToucheApril 28, 2017Try anything. I bet you it will be amazing. I had the brisket and biscuits (the honey butter omg 😍). The pork belly is also really good. Drinks are great and STRONG. Definitely worth a visit.
Liam NeeDecember 30, 2016Best of Boston 2016: BBQ 🍖 :: Metal trays of tender ribs, buckets of now-iconic honey-butter biscuits, and Mason-jar cocktails, best imbibed by the outdoor beer shed. Sweet mercy.
BriannaMarch 26, 2016Being from Georgia, I've got high standards for southern food. That being said, I was very disappointed by the cheese grits, but the biscuits were pretty good. Best I've found in New England so far
Jade AndersonAugust 10, 2014I got the pulled chicken, farm salad, collard greens, and of course a biscuit. The biscuit was BOMB, and everything else was tasty too. A little expensive, but a lot of food. I'll be sure to be back!- Ron OppenheimApril 20, 2015The biscuits are amazing. By themselves or as the bread in a pulled meat sandwich. For sides, go with the salt and pepper potatoes. Also, the fried chicken is great (it takes a while though).
Anastasia BogomolovJune 8, 2014Biscuits. Biscuits. Biscuits. Yes, they're huge, but they're also the best I've ever had (take some to go if you don't finish). Mac & Cheese wasn't worth it, surprisingly. Get the meat and farm salad.
EaterJuly 30, 2012Opening in November 2011, Top Chef star Tiffani Faison's barbecue ode has been nothing short of a smash hit. The biscuits are legendary, and there's now an outdoor beer garden. [Eater 38 Member]
Sam HigginsMarch 14Excellent barbecue place. Great place for dinner. Very friendly and helpful waitstaff. Nice atmosphere with tv’s to watch Sports games in.
Gloria ChinMarch 22, 2014they serve ramen on monday's from 9-10 for $15!! the broth is made from boiling pork & chicken bones for 36 hours. it's served w/ smoked pork belly & a Chinese black vinegar soy sauce egg
Kimberly AginSeptember 19, 2015Fantastic biscuits (try with the honey butter). Also loved the pulled pork and cheesy broccoli. Stay away from coleslaw- it's more salad-like. Good beer selection too.
Tanya PhillipsAugust 15, 2012The meat is excellent, sweet ice tea is perfect Texas style! I loved the sweet pickles too! Neg 1 - the napkins are so thin they stick to your fingers and bits come off. 2 - Texas toast is thicker.
Samantha Ben-SimonOctober 26, 2012Taylor is a super-waiter. Way friendly and knows the menu up, down and backwards. There isn't enough space to express how incredible the food is here... Biscuits and honey butter and fried chx, oh my!
You MUST have the biscuits. Pulled pork with Mac and cheese and coleslaw is my usual. All amazing.
Alicia FoorApril 29, 2015I always get the pulled pork tray with Mac n cheese and potato salad. It's always amazing and you have to get the rolls with the maple butter too.
The food here is incredible, try the pulled pork, the pulled chicken, the fried green tomatoes, the hush puppies and the black eyes peas! For a little drink to go with? The Indian summer.
CITY GRITAugust 16, 2014Our hit list = Brisket, Fried Chicken, Collards, Black Eye Peas, Just one Rib, Fried Okra, Hushpuppies, & a Bucket O’ Biscuits. Do not miss the Nutter Butter!- Drew MApril 17, 2022Biscuits with honey butter, brisket, & short rib are all good. Sweet tea is very sweet. Bakes beans are made with kidney beans & are good.
Ally PikeFebruary 25, 2017Cocktails are a fantastic way to start your visit here and you can't leave without trying a bisket, they are the best I have ever had!!!- Rob WawrzynczakAugust 25, 2017Great brisket and ribs, pork belly a little tough but sides were really good. Biscuits were fantastic!
Darian Symoné HarvinMarch 23, 2013I got the fried chx-Cooked perfectly cooked, collars greens-some of the best I've ever had...only thing I'd say to stay away from is the Mac n chz. It just want good.- Tasp01May 2, 2019Fried chicken was awesome, and had some brisket and pulled pork.. SO GOOD. And the sauces were great and the biscuit and butter like dessert
Erica TFebruary 21, 2016Best thing I've had here: BBQ brisket, worst: Mac and cheese (super salty). Overall good food and the $24-26 trays are enough for two.
Don't want to miss out on the BBQ but afraid you'll burst if you order a tray? Get their salad, which comes with seasonal ingredients, and top it with the meat of your choice.
Shalin SitwalaAugust 3, 2017Got their lunch tray with pulled chicken, pulled pork, rib and a side. It was delicious. The portions are huge. Loved it.
Best Ribs I tried in Boston. Also amazing sour and hot home made sauces
Niki BlakerApril 15, 2016All of our food and drinks were great. The biscuits are so big, you only need to order one to split with 2 people.
James BuckleyAugust 15, 2015Brisket. Don't order anything else. Melt in your mouth good with Texas toast. Oh and do yourselves another favor and start with the biscuits.
Terence ChanApril 1, 2017Pretty pricey for small portions. Got the brisket, chop brisket, sausage and half rack of ribs. Biscuits were excellent. Ribs and meats are smoky but a little dry. 4/5
Laura MarieJuly 21, 2013Get the Bucket o' Biscuits with Honey Butter to start! So good! You can also buy them to go if you want some for breakfast.
Boston.comJanuary 3, 2012Tiffani Faison’s new Boston project serves barbecue on metal trays and beverages in Mason jars. Top Chef alum offers up pulled pork, brisket, beans, coleslaw, and more with the music blasting. Read more
Vaughn AllenAugust 10, 2015This is legit BBQ. Short rib almost too rich. Which is exactly what you want. A unique and crazy meatsperience
But yours meats by the quarter pound in order to try more. Start with the brisket, pork belly, and pulled pork.
Jeffrey ChavesAugust 17, 2014Great Texas style bbq; Well seasoned Beef Brisket on Texas Toast. get a tray so you can take some home
Gianpaolo EleriaFebruary 11, 2012Where do I begin? The food here is phenomenal. Order anything. The salt and pepper potatoes are phenomenal and the pork bellies are worth the extra hour or two on the treadmill.
Gilt CityDecember 22, 2011The team is committed not only to what tastes good, but to doing what’s right, serving sustainably raised “super natural” premium Black Angus beef, free of hormones, and additives.
Maddie SimensSeptember 4, 2013Pulled pork is hands down the best item on the menu. Other highlights include the baked beans and biscuits with honey butter.- Try the Damn Yankee: bourbon, sapling maple liqueur, and black walnut bitters. And it comes in this cute squat mason jar.
Boston PhoenixDecember 19, 2011The fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, and biscuits are to die for, if the belly pork doesn’t get you first. All-American whiskey list is impressive! Read more
Lauren DuffyMay 21, 2016Pulled pork, biscuits, broc cheddar casserole. Beware those with nut allergies - the farm salad has hazelnuts.
Vanessa GatlinDecember 15, 2013(Best of Boston 2013-BBQ) Improper Bostonian says, "Start with the warm Bucket o' Biscuits with honey butter, toss in some fried green tomatoes and then turn your attention to the main event...BBQ."

"Everything is good, but the standout attraction are the briskets. Try with the bacon collars on side in the Pit Crew or Pit Boss plates."

"Had the burnt ends last thing on a Sunday night and they will still really good. Very friendly staff, as well."
Nick Johnson - 7.2
"The chopped pork sandwich has an excellent texture, and "The Pit" sauce delivers a slight (but amazing) spicy kick."
