About Tennessee's Real BBQ

Tennessee's Real BBQ is a long-standing restaurant that continues to impress with its authentic southern-style barbecue. The menu features a variety of meats, including brisket, pork ribs, baby back ribs, and chicken, along with popular sides like corn, mac and cheese, and cornbread. Customers often praise the juicy, flavorful meats that are cooked to fall-off-the-bone perfection, especially the ribs. The sides are highly appreciated, with some saying they are better than the meat itself, and the mac & cheese is baked with love and childhood memories. The staff, particularly the friendly girl at the register, are attentive and helpful, often making suggestions and providing good service. People note that the atmosphere might feel a bit weird or quiet at times, but the overall experience is positive. Many come for the consistent quality of tender brisket and flavorful pulled pork, and the option of catering makes Tennessee's Real BBQ a popular choice for those seeking authentic southern barbecue. Recent reviews highlight that the food is generally great and the inside of the restaurant is really cool, though some customers feel that the employees could show more effort and care. The restaurant's catering service, especially for large events like weddings, has received high praise, with many saying it was absolutely incredible and highly recommended. Occasionally, items like sweet potatoes may run out, but the service remains good, and the overall BBQ feel is maintained.

Braintree location has sent me the wrong sides TWICE. And, I've only ordered from them twice. What are the odds of it happening again? Zero because I'll never give them my money again.

cannot say enough about the staff and food simply amazing. thank you for making my sons graduation party special

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.
