Most absolute hag bbq ive ever had. Honestly im insulted to be served this. You want good bbq? Go to Firefly’s in Marlborough, that is real food.

We dined in but it seems like they mostly do takeout. The BBQ doesn’t have much smoke flavor you can’t really taste it. I’m not sure if they smoke meat at this location or just bring it in from the other locations but I didn’t get the vibe they are smoking meat they’re just assembling dishes. I had brisket and pulled pork was very plain. Brisket did not have any smoke rings or anything like that. Portions were good. The sides were ok I had collard greens and dirty rice with gravy. I would not go again. The place is decorated in a cool way but could use a wipe down..I know it’s BBQ and rustic but started to notice things were a little greasy the more you look around.

Great ribs!

Been ordering bbq here for a year. This time I couldn’t get myself to eat this. I think they boiled or steamed it. It was chewy and really tough to pull apart. Hard pass and won’t go back ??

From a place with amazing BBQ, Blue Ribbon dropped to a place to get food when everything else is not available. The meat itself is undercooked and/or very tough to chew, and the sides are just pretty tastless fillers.

No longer recommending this to friends, unfortunately.

I ordered Catering for 60 people for a work event and it was a HUGE hit! Mish was so helpful in assisting me with placing my order from making recommendations on the best dishes to ensuring I had no worries on the day of my event. Everyone RAVED about the food. I fear I set the bar too high and now everyone wants me to cater Blue Ribbon every time so I just ordered again through Mish for our fall event and she was lovely and helpful as always. I can't recommend them more for catering!

2 reasons me and my PCA came here.

1) had wheelchair accessibility..

Unfortunately it's only to wheel in and out Nowhere to be able to set wheelchair and eat.

2) The food looked delicious.

I ordered chicken & ribs... Specifically dark meat chicken And rib W/ and on the bone..

I got white chicken breast and boneless ribs that were so fatty. The meat slipped off the fork.
Did I mention that my side order of dirty rice was so dry and crunchy I couldn't crush the rice with my teeth.

Had the call for the manager twice.

He came with the look of frustration. With no solution and really just didn't give a damn.

He didn't know what to do with the white chicken brush.
And he was sorry about the fatty boneless ribs.

Are you $%@@÷ing kidding me.

Left with my meal barely touched..

Would never recommend people that I care about to go in and spend their hard earned money For food and service that one is worse than the other.

This restaurant, franchise is very deceiving. If you order food on a Monday morning, they will send you leftovers from over the weekend. Especially if you order online, as they would automatically assume that it would be difficult for you to drive there and complain. Hence why you ordered online in the first place. They use that against you and blackmail you.

The same thing happened to me at a Blue Ribbon BBQ at Time Out Market in Fenway.
They sent me FLAVORLESS CHICKEN that tasted like it never went anywhere near a smoker, but only OVEN BAKED with POWDERED JERK SEASONINGS. SUPER DRIED BRISKET, BURNED CORNER PIECES of CORNBREAD.

Absolutely horrible experience. Somehow, they manage to get DOPRDASH to hide my review. Typical dirty merchant tactic.

Disgusting behavior. I feel RIPPED OFF

Good is OK. Good portions. However,for the love of God, please learn how to cook rice. I'm so sick of uncooked hard rice when I order.

this place is not good. Smoke shop is still the only good BBQ Ive had in Boston but I hoped this place would be good because I live nearby, no dice. Brisket tasted like it had been cooked in a gas oven and then dropped in a pile of salt.

Mashed potatoes were good.

So delicious! Portions are huge, so would strongly recommend sharing a duo/trio platter with someone if you're not the biggest eaters. My fiancé and I came here for dinner and we split the duo platter with ribs and sausage. I got a soup on the side as well. We were gorged by the end. Will definitely come back!
