Best WLM Reviews
I’m putting my Texan card on the table. I wasn’t expecting Pit Room or Franklin’s-level quality, but had hoped it would be better than Famous Dave’s; it was, only slightly. Positive first: friendly folks, pleasant atmosphere, and more than ample portions (seriously, you can feed two on one meal). They are also generous with price. Up the quality, up the price and lower the portion.
And…… let’s start with brisket 101, smoke. That was lacking. In fact, I put my nose to the air while approaching the restaurant sniffing for that ever-loving smell of mesquite and hickory. Not even post oak. It was not in the air; perhaps they smoke off site. If so, you need more wood! Next, no bark on the meat and it is void of that tell tale sign of black pepper and salt. I watched a full packer brought to the carving table. It wasn’t appropriately trimmed and shaped pre-smoke. Let aerodynamics be your friend. I had asked for moist at the register. Perhaps that was simply a north-south translation error. Moist in BBQ joints means the point, not the flat. They gave me all flat. That would be fine I suppose, except it was pretty evident the cut is USDA Choice. It makes the meat cost effective, but at the sacrifice of fat. The meat was over cooked. It should pull apart, not fall apart. It should also stand on its own without sauce.
Sides: great potato salad. 8 out of 10. Slaw wasn’t worth a second bite and the corn bread could break windows if thrown. Sweet tea was pleasantly not too sweet. Sauce was fine. Nothing noteworthy.
Dont think you’ll find better barbecue north of NY City. Service is respectful. Not overly friendly but also not rude, which nowadays it’s a plus.
Absolutely worth the trip within an one hr drive from anywhere.
Portion can feed 2-3 people (if you’re small eater like myself) definitely single portion for the big boys.
Will keep coming back.
Oh, did I mention their corn bread it outrageous?
A glad surprise when we were just driving by. Looking for somewhere to have dinner, we found this place, which has an appealing front. Prices were fair and we got our orders quickly, which were very tasty. Size is good for almost 2 people and sides are just as good as mains.
Will definitely come back some time to try the brisket
Delicious BBQ. Daily specials. Fast service.
Service:
Unless it is very busy, it is very fast to place an order and get your food here because everything is already cooked and just needs to be served as far as I know.
Food:
I usually order the platters or the sandwiches. Both come with two sides. The platters also come with a piece of cornbread. The platters come with so much food, I always have leftovers. The sandwiches are also plentiful and leave me extremely full.
My favorite meats are the brisket and burnt ends. Both are tender, moist, and not too fat. They both come with sweet bbq sauce mixed in by default, but you can ask for a different sauce, like hot sauce instead.
My favorite regular side is the collard greens, which have some spicy heat to them and are seasoned with garlic cloves. The green beans are also a tad bit spicy and include some sliced sausages. The green beans are a bit overcooked though.
They also have a few special dishes, like wings or tacos. There are also special sides each day, like mac and cheese or pickled beets salad.
The cornbread is sweet and crumbly without being too dry.
There are five different sauces to try: sweet, hot, xxx hot, gold, and North Carolina Vinegar BBQ sauces.
Seating:
There are only about 12 bar seats along the window, wall, and counter, so there isn't much space.
If you have not tried the best barbecue in Massachusetts, you should consider visiting. This is because smoked barbecue is an exceptional cuisine and it's unlikely that you will find a better alternative anywhere else. The cost of this meal is quite reasonable, which makes it a perfect choice for any budget.
Pleasant experience.... food was pretty good a little salty but it's BBQ what do you expect? I Wish I could had a better understanding of the menu To many words lol so i asked the clerk what are the best seller I dont eat pork so I went with the chicken platter.... pretty good and fulfilling
I would come back and try the burritos I wish that was a offer from the clerk I would have spent more money if he would have upsale me...
Thanks Boston and Blue Ribbon BBQ
Truly the best of the best BBQ. My family has been eating BRBBQ for decades. Last time I went in the man at the front was very kind. Highly suggest the Cole slaw, pulled pork, mashed potatoes, pickles and cornbread. Make a big plate if it with the HOT BBQ sauce and it really hits all flavor cravings.
I just wish they had mac and cheese. I wonder if that’s in the works?!?
So this place is legit. Been looking for some BBQ? You found it. You walk in and you're transported. The smell hits you in the face. Then your eyes focus and you're already IN LINE. The menu is stupendous. I'm going to have to come back and try all the sauces and all the options
I tried to upload a picture of my Pork Burrito but I ate it too fast. I'll try again next time if I don't friggin scarf the thing down.
