Stopped on our way to Rhode Island for lunch today October 11th! The guy doing it all was absolutely wonderful - pleasant personality and handling it all perfectly! Delicious, tender brisket and cheesy Mac n cheese! Great place all around!!
The food is just amazing and the portions are generous. The brisket and crispy Brussels sprouts are to die for!
We got 2 Prime Brisket Sandwiches sooo good nice Smokey taste to it and loved the pickles and coleslaw on it. Brisket was cooked perfectly. Ordered side of Mac and cheese not a fan was bland. Side of corn bread which was good. Will go back again!
Barbecue Boys is a local barbecue spot run by two extremely kind brothers. The restaurant is easy to find and park at, featuring a big seating area that is nicely decorated and offers a cool view. Customer service is frequently rated 10/10, though the small business has some minor learning curves, such as a limited number of high chairs and no clear kids menu.
The food receives high praise across many items. The pulled pork is consistently called the best, or to die for, and the prime brisket—whether in a sandwich, sliced, or as part of catering—is often described as outstanding, not dry, and with excellent flavor, though one reviewer found brisket just okay. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich, especially when requested very very hot, is perfect, super hot with excellent flavor and crispness. Sides are a highlight: the mac and cheese is very good, the Brussels sprouts have amazing flavor, the corn bread is some of the best ever tasted, and the spicy pickles are actually spicy. Other noted items include delicious Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, flavorful loaded fries, and great-tasting baked beans and cole slaw. Minor critiques mention that chicken fingers can be too salty, fries slightly overcooked, and some items, like Brussels sprouts, can be drenched in oil.
The restaurant is highly recommended for both dine-in and catering, with many customers stating they will definitely return and use the service for future events. Delivery is reliable and includes thoughtful touches like metal kitchen utensils for serving.
