Boston. Not going for BBQ around here. But was pleasantly surprised at this gem. Diverse menu. Down to earth service. Nice sized place. My half and half wings were divine

Rocking little BBQ bar on Congress! Prices are great and the food is better! Chicken sandwich was massive and cucumber salad was delicious. I'd like a little more vinegar in the salad but everything was great regardless.

The atmosphere is exactly how you’d picture a BBQ restaurant, down to the napkins- rustic wooden and metal decor, smelled like meat and wood. Loved how they provide all the sauces and utensils in a bucket without having to ask. The menu is easy to read with an extensive selection of alcoholic beverages & flavors. I like how they had a separate section for fountain and canned drinks, most places don’t list if the sodas are in a can and you only find out when they bring it to you. I liked the watermelon slice, a nice touch. The prices were good for a sit down place 15 for the pulled pork bbq sandwich and mac n cheese. Our waiter, Robert, was friendly and the service was quick!

Love this place for bbq in the northeast. They serve local bourbon (the picture shows Penelope though) and their plates and sandwiches are always fantastic and never dry. Servers are always friendly.

Hands down, the BEST wings I’ve ever had at a bbq restaurant! We are from the south, so we were a bit skeptical of BBQ in the northeast, but boy were we wrong. Every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our food and were pleasantly surprised at the quality and flavors. We will definitely be back when we’re in the area!

The food was delicious. Wings, ribs, pulled pork and BBQ chicken. We're all tender and moist and amazingly seasoned. The BBQ wing apitizer and Mac and cheese bites were killer. Highly recommend and also highly recommend getting a reservation ahead of time. Place is very popular and sometimes only does reservations only no walk-ins.

The food was amazing and the service was above and beyond. Hubs and I spilt the Pit Boss plate and it was plenty of food for 2. We both say the mashed potatoes was the best we ever had.
