- Meg BermanJanuary 4, 2019This is one of New England's favorite places for good, southern BBQ. Visit spring - Labor Day and sit out in their Backyard patio area that features live music and a raw bar!
JayeJaye D.January 2, 2016All the BBQ is great. The Turkey dinner was fabulous. I can go on about how great the food is. The staff gave us great service. The owner will come around and see how the food was. Child friendly too.
Al LeruthJanuary 26, 2013Ethan C. Is a great server. They all are, but I suggest him for amazing suggestions. Melissa the Manager was amazing also. Everything she mentioned was delicious. It is as if she knew me.
AliDecember 28, 2014Catfish special was tasty, arrived tableside piping hot & perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Steak fries were good although scanty in the portion, Cole slaw was excellent!
Lauren SKOctober 23, 2014My favorite BBQ (and perhaps restaurant!) in the area. My favorite is the salad topped with pulled chicken and the PB Pie for dessert!- JayeJaye D.January 2, 2016Very Impressed with them when they catered our wedding. A respectful crew came out and set up the food. Everyone ate and then Firefly's cleaned the dirty stuff and took it with them!The food was super
- Justin MartiniNovember 27, 2017Some of the best BBQ in MA, particularly west of Boston. Try the brisket, wings, pulled pork, and ribs. No sauce needed.
Charlie AlejandroApril 4, 2016Order the straw onions simply delish!! And our server Shaw was friendly and efficient!!! Will definitely!!
David LounsburyMarch 6, 2020Make sure not to overlook the brisket and the sausage! The two meat combo is a good way to try things out.

Lisa MenendezFebruary 26, 2016The customer service is amazing here. Everyone is so friendly. Food is great and my family always leave happy.- Pulled pork is classic. Variety of BBQ and hot sauces. Delicious sweet tea. Love the corn bread, too.

Certainly the best BBQ in New England. After living in the south, it's hard to find places that even come close to getting it right. Firefly's does it well.
Chase KlingamanApril 20, 2015Love the selection of different BBQ sauces! I love to slather my ribs up with the Memphis!
Traci PrestSeptember 21, 2014Great food! I LOVE their Jamaican Jerk Chicken & cucumber salad. And their BBQ is fantastic!
Kristen JacksonOctober 6, 2013You get a piece of super yummy fresh homemade cake on your birthday! For free! We love this place!
- Kristen PaquetteAugust 14, 2011Try the cracklin bread, buttermilk chicken tenders, and the corn bread! Mouth watering! I miss coming here more often....
'Millie McCarthyJune 22, 2013The cracklin bread is good. Coming when they first open you wait a while for food.
Joel FernandesDecember 8, 2012Good wings... The sauces suck ribs are okay... Nothing out of the ordinary.. I've had better in many places dine here if you have nothing else around
Christopher AllenAugust 12, 2010Keep in mind they do not open til 4pm! We drove there for nothing. Bummer.
