New Management Sucks. I’ve been going to redbones for the past 2 years and the new manager is very unprofessional. Food might be good but the new management absolutely sucks.

Staying in Boston for work and a friend recommended you guys. Ordered the brisket and pulled pork with Mac n cheese and baked beans with sweet BBQ sauce. Can't take any photos cuz I devoured it all. Best BBQ in New England

Redbones BBQ is a local landmark. It’s still as good as it was back in the day. Their food is amazing and the atmosphere is great. I recommend trying the corn bread because it’s so good. Parking is tough

Very so-so experience. Sat at the bar for 10 minutes without anyone so much as looking in our direction. Buffalo prawns were ok. Sides (mac and cheese and collards) were terrible, no flavor. Plastic utensils…really?

Portions are ridiculously small served on cardboard like a child, no silverware only plastic forks for dine in. They have the nerve to serve Velvetta for Mac and cheese and charge $20 for one small scoop with 3 small slices of mostly fatty brisket. My sons fries were cold the pulled pork looked less than appetizing and my dads collard greens served on cardboard as well not even a full spoonful were undercooked with no flavor. Highly disappointed would not recommend not one person of the 3 at the table left satisfied every bite was disappointment, don’t waste your money

I ordered the dry rubbed ribs as I have done several times but today there was something different about the ribs.Just looking at them and tasting them, you can tell that they were ribs left over from the day before.These were not freshly cooked.And I know I placed the order once the restaurant first open.So this is what maybe they did.I have never gotten ribs like this before.From this place and i'm highly disappointed in what they did. It was a door dash order.So they figured they can get away with it, knowing I would not see the food until it was delivered

Red bones was my favorite place till recently. I didn’t expect that this place will go down ever but thing happens i guess. When we stepped in I had a felling that something was wrong, place was almost empty, that was very unusual for Red Bones. I ordered my usual Guinness, waiter told me that they have no Guinness anymore, that was the first red flag! All those years the Guinness was one of the hot item in Red bones, that was odd. I asked for the local beer menu, local beer menu changed by weekly, they had great selection. They didn’t have local beer menu either, it has been removed from the menu. Then I realized that the staff were not usual ones, I asked that what happened to usual staff members. They told me that, there is a new management!!! I’ve ordered my favorite dish, Texas beef ribs! Texas beef ribs were dry like a bone, was not tender and juicy. My wife got burnt end, that was very dry too. Congratulations new management, you screwed up big time!!!! Terrible place, so sad…

Whoa! Definitely the best BBQ in Boston. Actually better than what I was able to find in NYC recently. This is close to real southern-style food. The hot sauce is great. The only thing is the dirty rice could be dirtier. Haha. I ordered from Uber Eats and received plenty of food. My family said they've been here many times. I'll be coming back to try the cornbread and biscuits.
I had the pulled pork burger and fried pickles. Simple and as good as in my memory.

This place has sadly gone downhill. Sat at the bar intending to get some drinks and a bite to eat. Unfortunately the bartender seemed high as a kite and took forever to make our drinks, despite there being only one other couple there. And when the drinks came, they were decidedly mediocre. Ended up forgoing the food in favor of another nearby place.

Boston isnt knowm for its bbq, and that's okay. This place was alright... brisket was good. Mashed potatoes were weak. Mac and cheese was watery. We were sat at a dirty table that had gravy on 2/4 chairs... service was okay but it seemed as though the staff was incredibly overwhelmed even though there were only two tables sat inside and all patio tables were full despite there being 2-3 guys on the line, 3 servers, and 2 hosts...

I used to go here as a kid. Everything was good, definitely better than average. They were out of a few dishes and sides which was odd. Definitely would eat there again.

First started going here back in the early 1990’s, and it was amazing. But now it is depressing how much it has changed. The comprehensive menu of years gone by has been shaved down to a limited selection of items. The burnt ends were ok, but were nothing like the used to be. And blasting Reggaeton while eating distracts from the Southern BBQ vibe.
