Great ribs and bbq sauce! The baked beans and coleslaw are also very good, and I want to say the beans are some of the best I've tried.

Had the brisket with brussell sprouts bacon and baked beans. it was absolutely amazing. the brisket just fell apart. This place is a hidden gem!

BBQ was great, but they were out of a couple sides and the beverage selection was 5 items.
Not sure why, but the service was on the slow side. Cashier was serving and taking orders.

I am from Virginia and struggle to find good BBQ up here but this is absolutely the best I have found. The Pork Belly is some of the best I have ever had. Please go here is you like BBQ

This is real BBQ. Smoked to perfection, seasoning is on point. It’s not sweet and covered in sauce. If you haven’t tried it, plan on stopping by. If you have, you KNOW!

The BBQ at Code 1 is on par with Martins in Nashville. The brisket and ribs are exceptional. Sides were excellent. We will be back again. If you like BBQ, Code 1 is a can’t miss!

Went here with my sons (27,23) for my birthday on Saturday. Everything was fantastic. We got there a bit too late as they were out of the best brisket I have ever had. Fortunately, the owner came over as we were sitting and offered me an unclaimed order of Burnt Ends. Unbelievably delicious. Can’t wait to return!

This place is an absolute GEM.

I drove all the way from Boston to try Code 1 BBQ, and let me tell you — it was 1000% worth it. I had the brisket sandwich with extra brisket on side and OH MY GOD!!!!, the brisket literally melted in my mouth. Juicy, tender, smoky perfection, soft, absolutely unreal. I almost ate my fingers, no joke.

Hands down the best BBQ I’ve had outside of Texas — honestly, it brought me right back to those southern BBQ joints.

What made it even more special was the people — the family running this place are some of the nicest folks I’ve met. They made me feel truly welcome, and even surprised me with a gift card since I came from Boston.

If you’re anywhere in Massachusetts and love real BBQ, make the trip. Code 1 is the real deal. Already planning my next visit — this place has my heart (and my stomach). 🔥🐖💯

I had eaten at their location across the street. I decided to try their restaurant. Food was just amazing and the service was even better. My brisket sandwich with succulent juicy and the bun was perfectly toasted. Highly recommended

Stopped in for Mother’s Day. I got the brisket with brussel sprouts and slaw. It was all delicious! Seems like a new setup so it was not too busy. Check them out before they get too busy
