Matthew SpectorJune 12, 2016Excellent roadhouse BBQ in Massachusetts, their brisket cannot be missed. Also don't skip the bbq sauce and pickle bar - hellish (hot relish), habanero carrots and pickled onions perfect for topping.- KinoJuly 16, 2017B.T.'s is the best BBQ place that I've tried outside of Texas. Brisket Reuben Sandwich ($11) is a must. Mac & Cheese and Potato Salad sides were tasty. Spare Rib is dry. Beef Rib is better. BYOB.
Jake SmithOctober 19, 2013The pork is flavorful and the coleslaw is made with a delicious vinegar and various spices, which goes well when placed directly on the sandwich. The house sauce is the best of the four available.
The TravelerSeptember 24, 2021Had the bbq chicken wrap. Omg 😳 it as fantastic & filling. Highly recommend stopping in. Wife had the pulled pork & she said it was extremely good. BYOB too can’t go wrong. Staff was friendly too.
PaulOctober 9, 2019Great brisket, pulled pork, potato salad and black eyed pea salad. We are from Georgia where there is great BBQ. This ranks right up there with some of the best. Love the atmosphere and music too.
Al SOctober 5, 2016Delectable BBQ smoked meats. BYOB, so bring your own brew. Better yet, hit Tree House Brewing in Monson, then stop by BT's and BYOTH. Fine food and beverage. Be prepared to wait in line though.
Shenan GolimbuApril 24, 2016We got the whole hog. 4 trays of food, everything was amazing. Cornbread, Mac & Cheese, collards, black eyed peas, ribs, cucumbers, brisket, wings.
Cole TJune 30, 2017For New England, this is a GREAT BBQ joint. It's BYOB, so you'll see many patrons washing down brisket platters with a Treehouse can. The coleslaw and Mac n' Cheese were great.
Many good items, Here's a few. If they have it grits. Then the special Mac n' Cheese, Catfish Po' boy and my favorite the Brisket Rueben. If you are up to it take the Hot Wing from Hell Challenge
StephenJanuary 1, 20163 Meat Platter with pulled pork, pulled chicken and ribs. Sides of Mac and cheese, bbq beans, dirty rice and cornbread.
Ed GabrysApril 21, 2017Good BBQ. Pulled pork was very good. Ribs were a tad dry. Slaw and greens were good but a bit heavy on the vinegar. If that's your thing, you'll like them.
- Scott PenderSeptember 25, 2022Best brisket I’ve had hands down. The wait is worth it to get meat fresh out of the pit rather than drying out in a warmer.
Yuval ZukermanJune 3, 2022Delicious food and fast service. Pulled pork burrito is terrific, as is the brisket.Call in advance as the menu options can vary.
Terence ChanJune 16, 2018Ribs were ok. Brisket was best. Bacon bites were also good. Mac n cheese was good. Dry rub wings were just ok. Dry rubbed and fried. Corn bread was good. Good sweet tea. 3.5/5
Some of the best brisket I've ever had. Excellent pulled pork. Awesome fried sides. Make this your lunch stop off 84 and 90.
Glenn SullivanAugust 9, 2012Awesome place. I had heard rave reviews but it wasn't what I thought I'd be eating tonight when I hit the restaurant button on the gps on the way home from 6 flags. Am I glad i did! Taco Wednesday!
Quite possibly the best BBq joint in New England. Everything is amazing. Try their carrot salad too! It's delicious!
Paul SheaMarch 29, 2019Brisket. Pulled Pork. Chicken was very good. Many different sauces and highlighted the flavors. BYOB. Treehouse Brewery first!!
Meats are excellent. Sauces are not. Well worth the trip, especially for some food before/after visiting Tree House.
naamaJune 10, 2013Really great playground up the hill from the baseball diamond behind the restaurant. Perfect place to stop with kids. Eat then play the ready for the drive.
Michelle RayJuly 28, 2016Can't go wrong with the black eyed peas, cucumber salad, brisket and pulled pork. Fries are generous and heavenly.
FoodiesprNovember 14, 2015Best #bbq #ribs and #brisket I think of MA, also thank you for the birthday corn bread Thx Chef Brian and team
Colin WhootenJune 23, 20182 meat platter and pay extra $2 to get beef rib and brisket. Fed my wife and I and oh so good
Brisket-about the best in the world. I've eaten the best in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and elsewhere and this tops them all.- Hands down my favorite BBQ joint. Get their ribs and some carrot salad! Oh and it's BYOB!
Albert HongFebruary 19, 2016Brisket reuben. You will not have to eat for a few days as you enter your first non-human induced orgasm.- Amy RosenblattJuly 29, 2016Brisket Rueben was great! The bread, the brisket and the sauce perfect together!
Jonathan YuJune 26, 2017The lines can be long so call ahead to put in your order. The blackened catfish sandwich was awesome.
Mary Daubney WaldronJuly 3, 2016We had the brisket and BBQ beans. It was excellent. The Best I ever had
Shane MartinSeptember 25, 2016Brisket is top notch. Some of the best I've tried outside Texas. Sauces were forgettable
Olivia GoudreauOctober 14, 2011I love bts everything there is so good , especially pulled pork n mac n cheese you can't go wrong nomnomnom eat there every week !
- Brew LatelyApril 11, 2021Great bbq, pick up some treehouse beer down the road to eat it with, it’s byob here
- Randy GarbinMay 21, 2014Fantastic pulled pork. Beans have no sauce, though. Maybe that's a thing, but I'm not crazy about it. Good vinegary slaw. Glad I stopped.
Don't be fooled by the new England location, this tastes just like authentic southern bbq. Get the brisket burrito and fries!
Mac n cheese with a little sweet BBQ sauce drizzled on top is where it's at!
- Get the single or two meat platter with St. Louis ribs. Devour! Enjoy! This place is the best
Top 3 are Mac and Cheese, Corn Dog and Brisket BBQ Burrito- Top 3 are Mac and Cheese, Corn Dog and Brisket BBQ Burrito
Travis IrelandApril 6, 2014I left MA a couple years ago and every time I want BBQ I miss B.T.'s. Best BBQ in New England!
JenKuduJune 12, 2011Originally from Bama, I know BBQ and BT's brisket is awesome!!!! The mac n cheese béchamel I'd made fresh and the potato salad is rockin.- Shane MartinSeptember 25, 2016BYOB. After you get your Treehouse beer, bring it here and devour some Q
Rebecca BlatzJuly 8, 2015Ordered rib combo $40 Giant and certainly not tender. NO butter for the corn bread..Sauce dispenser gave me a bath. got to wear BBQ sauce.Pulled pork was over cooked! Mac & ch was good.NOT IMPRESSED!
Taylor PembertonSeptember 11, 2011Best BBQ in all of New England, even though it's my first time being here. The dirty rice is amazing.
