“Maaaaaan, Pork Belly Burnt ends!!! That’s it…that’s the review!!! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥“

“The food was incredible and everyone was super friendly. I’m glad we stopped in!“

“We stopped in just before 5pm on a Saturday and thankfully we did because the place got busy quickly. There was plenty of staff working to handle the night. One of us ordered a 2 meat tray with brisket & pork belly. The chosen sides were basement potato salad and Mac & cheese. The other ordered a pulled pork tray. Sides were coleslaw and Mac & cheese. Both had sweet tea and shared a bucket of biscuits w honey butter. The best part was the pulled pork. It was wicked moist and flavorful. I feel the brisket was a bit dry, but there are 3 sauces on the side. We loved the biscuits with honey butter and the Mac & cheese was good. Our meal came to about $77, before tip. The staff are mostly efficient but our waiter could have been better. He didn't ask what we wanted to drink when he greeted us, he wasn't very personable in comparison to another waiter who gave very detailed descriptions of the specials when speaking to a table next to us. We asked for a sweet tea refill and didn't get it. Seemed sporadic, but not new. We'd go back though to try it again.“

“Last of the year bbq for our company and it was the Best decision we made to hire Chris and his staff at Big Pig!! Food was outstanding, service was great! Never before has my staff been so complementary to our past functions but this hit it off the charts!! Everyone that attended our bbq were satisfied with everything!! Just wanted to say Thank you Chris and your staff for making my function great!! Will definitely come back!!“

“The husband and I did an order during their soft open, and it was super good! We have ordered atleast 2-3 more times since the soft open and it's always good! I've tried all their sides, brussels are DELICOUS. Zucchini salad is also VERY good. I do think it has a LOT of almonds, but I could have just gotten a nut heavy scoop, so definitely recommend! We did and sampler platter and the meats are solid. The ribs are THE BEEEEST. pulled pork and brisket is good too. have yet to try the burnt ends, that's my next venture! Overall a great meal. Price wise, it is moderate. price points around the same if not cheaper for most BBQ I've had up here. I'm from the south so prices will never be as cheap as there, but the food, personally, is worth the price.“

“We stopped by the Smoke Shop in Woburn earlier than they opened. The director of operations noticed us and insisted we stay and eat. The food was remarkable - pulled chicken was seasoned very well and so moist, and thr brisket was melt-in-your mouth good. Even more impressive was the service - made more so because they hadn't yet opened. Great food, great service and, frankly, great music. We'll be return customers.“

“Tried for the first time. It was a bit quiet. But service was awesome. Friendly staff. Ribs fall of the bone, dry rub wings were good. The mac & cheese is alright Can't wait to come again“

“Decided to go out for dinner with a few friends and it was delicious. I liked the citrus dressing on the avocado salad. The filet mignon was tender and flavorful. For dessert, green tea ice cream is a must!“

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)“

“Went in this evening with family and friends. The food was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed steak tips with rice and it was impeccable. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere has changed a lot (same great vibes) which I love. Charlie is such a kind and caring human. He’s always been a love! Every experience I’ve ever had there has been great. Keep going guys.“

“Absolutely loved this BBQ spot! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and packed with flavor. The smoky aroma hits you the moment you walk in, and everything from the brisket to the sides was top-notch.Ok service and generous portions—I’ll definitely be back!“

“Consistently delicious! Their Jamaican Jerk is one of my favorites.“

“Friendship BBQ in Allston is a vibrant, essential spot for anyone craving authentic Chinese skewers and their legendary Cumin Grilled Fish. The atmosphere is loud, bustling, and full of energy, perfectly matching the bold, spice-forward food. The star is the whole fish, perfectly grilled and buried under a mountain of fragrant cumin and chilies—a truly unforgettable dish. The various skewers, especially the cumin lamb, are expertly charred and delivered sizzling to your table.“

“This place is absolutely incredible! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Food was incredible and service was incredible!“

“OMG! The food is delicious!!!!“

“Best service for sure in East Boston. The young lady at the bar was just incredibly nice. I had the ribs and tips and the meal was great. The potato salad side was had a very nice kick to it. The ribs was just standard but the steak tips had lots of great taste. If you tired of traffic and looking for a nice bar and chat with the locals The Full Rack Smokehouse is the place for you.“

“Typical chain that's quite consistent in quality with most of the locations that I've been to. Service was a little slow but there were a lot of seated tables so can't really blame the staff. We reserved beforehand so we didn't have to wait long when we got there. Not sure if the cheese corn recipe changed but it definitely tasted different from what I'm used to“

“Great food and large portions!“

“Overall ingredients + service + ambiance, I give it 3 stars 🌟🌟🌟 (Hawaii's is a bit better 😆🌺)“

The music is good and the food is amazing and its a place my child enjoys hanging out withe her friends since they offer other game options not just bowling. Its our favorite place to be.“

Shout -out to tje light-skinned man at the front desk. He was so welcoming! The ribs were okay You know how much I love good food, so I had to give this place a 4 star rating for the ribs! Some end parts over cooked but overall it was okay And the cornbread was very good I couldn’t resist sharing my experience on my TikTok and Instagram pages.

“My first time dining in at OTH with my family and parents and it was a wonderful experience. The wait staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating and the food was absolutely out of this world. Everything we had was delicious and all of us were still talking about it well after we left. Looking forward to going back again. Keep up the good work.“

“Our favorite pizza in Dedham!“

“this is sooooo good, every bite of meat is soft and tender and the biscuits looked mediocre, but tasted perfect. They even thawed out the butter instead of giving me a frozen lump like 99% of restaurants. I will go out of my way to eat here again!“

“My go-to spot was too busy for takeout tonight, so I tried this place. I must say their steak tips were amazing and I now found a new go-to place! Delicious!“

“Billy's will forever be a favorite for me. The steak tips are excellent the chicken wings and fingers are great. Well seasoned and big size pieces not those lil wing dings other take out spots give. Here you really get chicken. Salads are made fresh and the owners are fun to chat with...“

“Will recommend to my friends. Snacks are tasty like seafood pancake, oyster balls, fried chicken, etc.
All kind of meat and few seafood are available. $39.99 per person for dinner which is quite worthy as all you can eat.
You got more than you can expect for $39.99 per person at Fenway.“

“Once again you and your wonderful staff at Coast Cafe, have outdone yourselves!! Joshua's birthday celebration was an amazing time and partly due to your delicious food. Everyone gave high praise to every dish and went back for seconds and thirds. Thank you so much for being such a Beacon of Light in the Community! We love Coast Cafe!!“

“Incredible experience! Wait staff were very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Food was cooked to perfection for us over a charcoal grill. Very tasty sides dishes.

“Oliveiras Restaurant Peabody is one of the best restaurants in New Ingland. Amazing services!“

“Arrived this evening Kayla served as my bartender, crafting an exceptional caipirinha. I ordered the steak, spicy sausage, and a comprehensive selection from the buffet. The atmosphere was delightful. The bartender significantly enhanced the overall experience with her extensive knowledge and assistance regarding the menu. I will certainly return.“

“Great menu - plenty to choose from Wonderful staff“

“Came in on a Sunday evening when every other hot pot spot in Allston had lines out the door. This was the only place where we could sit right away. Based on the name, I assumed it was strictly a hot pot joint, but the menu was much broader. Standard QR code ordering system, food came out fast.

Most of my friends recommended the dry pots, so we went with pork and beef versions, plus a regular pork hot pot for comparison. All pots come with six toppings by default (vegetables and noodles), with proteins as add-ons. Even with extras, each pot was under $25, and the portions were huge. The regular hot pot was fine, but the dry pots had way more flavor and heat. Since I don’t have dry pots often, it’s difficult to say whether this was top tier, but most of the toppings were good quality.

We also tried the stir-fried string beans and chili wontons, both solid. But knowing how big the pots were, we probably could’ve skipped the sides.

Overall not as flashy as the big-name hot pot spots nearby, but way easier to get into and much cheaper. Might come back for the dry pots.“

“L Street Diner is a neighborhood gem! Although known for their delicious breakfast selections, including an Irish Breakfast, and amazing brick oven pizza, you can't miss with the rest of the menu! Best Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, Roast turkey dinner (and calzone) with Turkeys roasted on-site daily! Their BBQ is amazing and don't forget dessert with cakes and pies bakes fresh every week! Beer and Wine selection available! TV on with sports and rarely ever a wait!“

“Went here for dinner after a Bruins game. It’s a 3 minute walk from the Garden, great food (Pub style), great service, decent prices. Definitely will be back.“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“We ordered quite a bit of food for a grad party. It was ready on time for pick up, everything was packed up nice and neatly, and cooked to perfection. Everyone was raving about the food. We pretty much ordered at least 1 tray of everything so we got a good selection of Black Creek’s food. All of it…Amazing!! I would highly recommend this fresh, delish, authentic BBQ!!“

“first time eating at K-Town after work in a Friday, absolutely amazing food, everything I expected it was. good food, amazing music (BTS!!!!!!), absolutely amazingly polite, helpful, personable staff, huge variety of meat and seafood to BBQ. the service is impeccable, the served really care about the experience you have. every single server came by to help us, talk with us, and check on us. I can’t wait to come back, this may be my new favorite place. 1000 stars“

“Came in from a miserably rainy & windy trip and was met warmly! Friendly customer service, great food, and affordable!

Have been going here for a year or so, have never had any issues! Highly recommend their dumplings, chow mein, and scallion beef w/ extra ginger!“

“If you want some real Cantonese Chinese food and roasted meat in Dorchester area, this is the place. If you are super hungry, the 3 meat delights will fill any stomach. Huge portions of meats on top of a container full of rice. Salt and pepper squid and porchop or shrimps with rice, fish and tofu with rice, and black pepper beef are some of my favorites. Everything is very flavorful.This place is takeout only since COVID pandemic.Cash only.“

“I have been going here for years and have tried almost everything on the menu. Everything is delicious and well-crafted from the unique sushi rolls to the classic and authentic Mexican dishes. The interior is clean and well decorated with a modern vibe. The staff are all extremely friendly and courteous. This is a true authentic restaurant in a world where everything is becoming a chain. This is truly a hidden gem just steps from the blue line.“
