Handy's caters to my workplace (Pega,) and let me tell you, the barbecue is REALLY good. I'm from the south, so I measure my reviews against Memphis dry rub. The bark is perfectly seasoned, pork is flavorful and not dry at all. I'm not a huge sauce person- I'd rather the pork stand up on its own, but the sauce here is good- a little spicy but not crazy hot, and I don't feel like it overwhelms the taste of the pork at all. The Mac & cheese is made with bechamel, and the cole slaw is pretty good. The Chili is to die for- thick, dark dark brown, and oh so yummy. Give it a go... And, the person who cooks the food was SO nice. Always a bonus!
Terrible. When I asked what kind of BBQ is it, Carolina, Georgia, etc. I got a weird look and then got a response of Mass BBQ. That's not a real response, just like their food it's not real BBQ. Gonna taste animal flesh texture and sauce. Nothing else. Avoid if you like actual BBQ.
Really good soul and comfort food..
Loved the food and ambience. Casual family type restaurant with dishes cooked with love and soul.
Good breakfast, nice local business. I tasted the pancakes too and they were great. Not fast but totally worth it.
Handy's has great food. Tastes like Grandma's house on Thanksgiving. If you are in the mood for comfort food and that down home flavor, go to Handy's.
Great location, great food. OMG the sweet potato pie is perfect. Their Mac N Cheese will give you LIFE! I love the chicken and waffles. decent seating and TVs to catch games on. The service is always on point.
Had the rib dinner with black eyed peas and candied yams, came with corn bread! Amazing! Parking is not easy over here but definitely worth it!
35 minutes for breakfast and order still was wrong. If u just wanna waste time and MONEY. Then go there. As I recall cook had no gloves on and touching money by himself doing everything. Smh. Never again.
Ordered veggie omelette and turkey bacon through uber eats. They forgot to include the bacon and the omelette was super runny and inedible. Even the toast was stale. Felt like I completely wasted my money.
