Get the burnt ends! Ribs were good too. Could have had more meat and smoke but still pretty good bbq for Boston. Cool place run my Larry and his wife. Look forward to trying other menu items. 3.5/5

Spice lovers will love the FIRE BALLS, three extremely spicy meatballs. They're VERY spicy. My mouth hurts.

The pulled chicken has a lot of dark meat appealing to those who prefer dark meat and heavily smoked flavor. Crispy catfish sandwich is a good cut of fish, lightly fried. Read more

Larry is awesome and has some stories to tell if you sit and talk with him. Plus the greens are pretty damn good as well!

When ordering, go for "Carolina" if you want a tangy, vinegar-y sauce or "Texas" if you dig a sweet, molasses flavor to BBQ sauce.

Overpriced, underwhelming BBQ. Service not great either. No thanks

I don't know how the food is yet but the owner, I'm assuming is Larry J, could use some personality.
