Absolutely delicious! We had the pulled pork and brisket dinner. For sides, I got the coleslaw and mac and cheese. My husband got the potato salad and cowboy beans. The meat was plentiful and tender with a nice smokiness. A barbecue place has to have good sides, and they didn't disappoint. The beans were some of the best we've tasted, and the other sides matched the great flavor of the beans. We loved this place and can't wait to go back.

I let my Alabama born and bred wife make her plate first when I got home with my first order from Boston Barbecue. From the next room I suddenly heard, “ohhhhh this barbecue is LEGIT.” That’s high praise from her and I concurred. Excellent ribs, pulled pork, Mac & cheese, collards and beans. Enjoyed both bbq sauces, as well. Can’t wait to try the smoked wings and catfish next. If you love ‘cue, you gotta go here. Her only quibble: she doesn’t understand why we “Yankees” put sugar in our corn bread. I like it to cut some of the saltiness and tang, but she maintains that’s a corn muffin, not cornbread. We’ll agree to disagree. But we definitely agree Boston BBQ is the best in the area.

This BBQ place is AMAZING! Great BBQ, both my son and I LOVED it! We had the 3 meat combo including Brisket, St Louis Ribs, Fried Catfish, with baked mac & cheese! We honestly couldn't say which our favorite was from the proteins because they were all amazing! The owner was very knowledgeable about BBQ and it was a great conversation while waiting for our food. We will definitely be back! We highly recommend it!

If you love BBQ, his food is perfect. From the great ribs and chicken to the slaw, and Mac n cheese. I really wish they were not pushed out of their last NA location, but I will go where ever the truck lands for great food.

Best customer service but better food!! They make everything with love and with a lot of flavor. I grab a little bit of everything and always have left overs. Can’t go wrong with. I have been coming here before Covid

We had Bill and Michelle cater a BBQ in June and I don’t care if you’re from Texas or North Carolina, the barbecue was great! The baked beans with meat disappeared first and both the pulled chicken and pork were lean and tender and tasty! Most coleslaw is too gloppy but this was crunchy and flavorful. And the mac & cheese: perfect. These people know exactly what they’re doing. Thank you!!

I used Boston Barbecue for a recent Super Bowl party and it was a total hit! The food was delicious, the catering prices were very reasonable, and the delivery was right on time. Highly recommend!

My husband and I discovered Boston Barbecue via social media, and we are so thankful that we took time out of our busy schedules to try their delicious food. The catfish was perfect, along with the different dipping sauces. The cajun sausage was so good due to its beautiful spices, and the ribs' meat slipped right off the bone because it was so tender and flavorful. My husband and I immensely enjoyed their cornbread, collard greens, and cajun dirty rice. We will revisit Boston Barbecue very soon!!!
