About Tennessee's Real BBQ

Tennessee's Real BBQ is recognized as the best BBQ spot in east/central Mass. Their meat is incredibly tender, and the fat is perfectly rendered. The sides will remind customers of home. The beef brisket sandwich is good, but some feel it could have more meat for the price. The beef ribs are highly recommended, with great barbecue sauce and tender meat. The half dixie chicken with sides like dirty rice, mac and cheese, and cornbread is a favorite, with one reviewer noting it was well made, flavored, and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere may not be particularly charming, but it is super casual, making it an okay place to eat. The friendly service adds to the overall experience at this solid BBQ joint. Customers appreciate the quick, affordable, and delicious smoked BBQ, with many noting the menu is a pretty good size. One reviewer enjoyed the 1/2 chicken with three sides for 15.99, describing it as a steal. Another mentioned the chicken burrito was packed with food and flavor, along with great sides like sweet potato, cucumber salad, and corn on the cob. Diners in the family love the Dixie chicken, burritos, chili, and Mac & cheese, and kids meals come with a drink, cornbread, and one side, all under $10. Prices stay reasonable despite increases elsewhere, food comes out almost instantly, and the barbecue is consistently tasty. One visitor enjoyed the Special with Ribs, which were so good, plus burned ends, with Mac and Cheese, Cornbread, and Collard Greens as sides. Overall, customers look forward to returning to this place.

Food was excellent. Quick affordable delicious smoked BBQ. Menu is a pretty good size as well.

I got the 1/2 chicken with three sides for 15.99 and what a steal that price is. A ton of food!

My lady got the chicken burrito and it was packed with food and flavor. Their sides are great too! I got a sweet potato, cucumber salad and corn on the cob that was to die for. Will definitely be returning back to this place. So close as well!
I have had real BBQ in Tennessee and this ain’t it. Flavors were ok but lacking few key things. First off the brisket was so dry. It looked old and almost like a dried up pork chop instead of fresh cut brisket. The smoked wings seemed like could have used some extra time in smoker. The Mac and cheese and potatoe were beyond basic. The ribs, mashed potatoes and slaw were on point and saved the day from a complete let down. Unfortunately this was a one and done for me.
The most authentic North Carolina style pulled pork I've had outside of North Carolina. And basically everything else on the menu is amazing!
