10 Best Barbeque Restaurants near North Reading

“We had a group of six on a late Sunday afternoon. The waitress was outstanding. We couldn't have been happier with the service. The food was mixed. My wife ordered chicken pot pie. It was HORRIBLE! it was basically a bowl of chicken soup with a piece of puff pastry floating on top. The rest of the food was very good.“

“Ok so first point is the food was awesome. Friendly staff, and good location. The price is good, a little less than typical for bbq. We had 3 meals which consisted of brisket, ribs and half chicken with the sides of Mac n cheese (which to me could use a little smoke flavor or cheese with a little more flavor. Could just be a personal preference. ) baked beans and Brussel sprouts.Overall fantastic meal for good price.They need a bigger seating area but for a new BBQ place in New England they are on their way to becoming well known for great food. Will visit again soon. Great job CODE 1 !!!!!“

“Ive been blessed to spend the last year on a travel assignment to Boston and Ive discovered some pretty amazing food and Big Pig is one of the best!! The Brisket bomb has raised the bar for all other barbecue! I was so excited to share this food with my co workers and they loved it so much they ordered and shared with their family and friends. Big Pig is a feeling of home away from home!“

“Have had BBQ all over the country, and unfortunately around the local area too. This place however, makes some really legit legit meats, with their St Louis dry rub style ribs being the shining star. Absolutely the best rack of ribs I've had in New England, meaty and smoky with a perfect pull off the bone. The chicken wings as well are surprisingly excellent, super crispy and offered with traditional southern flavorings. Love the moist cut of their briskets, just great S&P seasoning. For sides, the fried pickles and potato salad are awesome, but I personally really like the dirty rice the most, I just wish they gave you more.“

“Such a great experience, our server Jenn could not have been more accommodating or friendly! Highly recommend the Tuscan wings and the Melanzana pizza pizza, wow! You won't regret it. We will be back, regularly. Also great coloring books and crayons which with our kids goes a LONG way!“

“Not only was the service AMAZING but the food was SO DELICIOUS! I ended up getting the Supreme all you can eat and a few of their signature cocktails. Everything was perfect and went really well together ( I highly recommend the ESPRESSO CHATA MARTINI & the COCONUT COSMO??‍??) . The staff was also very attentive and consistent with orders and overall service. Jason (the owner) and Pema (my server) truly went above and beyond for my table. Moving on to the decor, I was SHOCKED! It has probably one of the nicest interior designs for a K-BBQ restaurant i’ve ever seen. All of the fixtures were super modern and the lighting inside was super cool. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to families, couples, and literally anyone looking for a really good k-BBQ spot in MA.Parking: Lots of space to park in parking lotKid-friendliness: I brought my younger sister here and the servers went above and beyond to make her happy!“

“Customer on service on point when I walked in. Multiple people saying hi. Guy comes over and tells me how system works, sides then meat. Asked him for medium rare. Found a medium rare piece for me. Took me through all the meats they offer. Set me up with a great box. Food was hot, savory, and succulent. I moved nearby. I'll be eating a lot of meat.“

“Being a Southerner by birth, I'm always skeptical of a business in the North touting their "southern" bbq. But I must say, I was pleasantly surprised here. Very fast service, large menu, huge portion size. I wouldn't say it's the best barbecue I've ever had, but it's the closest thing to southern barbecue I found in the north so far.“

“I was checking on the review and it read 666 reviews. I thought it was not an auspicious number and hence reviewed this business. I have never been here but I always cross it on my way to work and it smells amazing and the crowd is always great. ??. I will be visiting soon.“
