Decided to order from here for a worksite BBQ lunch. We couldn’t have been happier with everything from start to finish. The people are friendly, the delivery was right on time and the delivery guy was awesome! The brisket, ribs, and pulled pork were phenomenal, and the portions they recommended for our crowd were right on. Overall, I’m convinced we found our new favorite BBQ place!!

My new spot to stop and grab a breakfast sandwich. Great options cooked perfectly and quickly. Stop waisting your money at Dunkin. Take the Back road and grab some smoking BBQ.

Despite the often frustrating hours (call ahead to make sure they are actually open), this place is worth checking out. The brisket is excellent. The pulled pork is solid. Wasn’t terribly impressed with ribs. Chicken is fine. Sides are pretty good. Decent value. 3.5/5 stars.

Wow, what a find! On our way home from the Stafford Halloween fest this weekend and stopped in for dinner. Quiet place, and almost hidden if it wasn’t for Google maps. The staff was so nice and friendly! They were so quick and efficient. The food is priced very reasonably and the portions are a good size. I even liked seeing them weigh out the meat so you know you will get the same hearty portions each time. The cornbread was butter and delicious. The meats were melt in your mouth. There are two sauces to pick sweet and heat. Both delicious, I’m more of a sweet but the heat was a good flavor not just hot to be hot. The kids loved all the decorations and ate a good amount. A win for us! No kids meals but a side of Mac and cheese with our meals worked out great and we even had some leftovers. When I’m in for mood for BBQ, I’m definitely coming back here. Stop in if you’re looking for a quick crowd pleaser dinner.

I am from Tennessee and have lived in Texas, so I know good BBQ, and this place has it! I can honestly say it’s the best I’ve had in New England.
