"At 36 years old, Redbones has cemented its popularity in Somerville’s Davis Square. It’s perpetually crowded and the ambiance is fun, particularly at the downstairs bar, Underbones. Redbones’s strength lies in its lively vibe and solid beer list. The restaurant doesn’t really specialize in any one aspect of barbecue; there’s a giant menu that has a little bit of something for everyone, so it’s an easy choice if there’s a big group to feed. Try the banana pudding for dessert." - Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
