Blackstrap BBQ

Delivery order but I live close by and I’d love to come in now that I’ve tried the food. We have surprisingly few BBQ places in Boston and before trying Blackstrap only one I was a fan of. Happy to say I have another option now. Food was excellent. Really enjoyed my sides and hope to try more. I had the burnt ends which were also excellent and some of the best sauces I’ve had (really appreciate both sauces being included as they’re both excellent).

First time eating here. Wasn't able.to get a table due to a party. Ordered food to go. 24 wings for $35.99 (WAY OVERPRICED) and the crispy chicken. Chicken was so dry. Cornbread was dry and the sweet potato salad was not flavorful. Collard greens were the only thing good, HOWEVER; for spending $59.90 it DEFINITELY WAS NOT WORTH IT. WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND OR HO BACK HERE AGAIN!! FIRST AND LAST TIME!!

Meh. Reading the reviews, this is probably the best BBQ around and getting jammed with customers - price point is high and delivery order was pretty bad. This is not a destination BBQ place, don’t go out of your way for it. Called ahead to find out what was gluten free gf - wings are fried, they can be grilled, but that isn’t an option ordering online. I’m in town 1 night at the airport Hilton - very close, <20 minutes for the delivery - so that doesn’t account for the lackluster quality of what was received. Salad was good - appreciate they suggested ranch for gluten free vs blue cheese. Two meat plate - 3 ribs. Asked for ‘wet’ brisket. Everything is dry as a bone. I’m not an advocate for ‘fall off the bone’ but these ribs were dry. Brisket is too - if I wasn’t hungry, I’d not eat it. What is good: sauce is unique, collards have a touch of sweet that is really good. Baked beans were a little watery, but would’ve been good had everything else been up to par. Maybe it was an off night? Not the place to try if you’re in Boston - others are better. Not very good value for money. Small portions.

Awesome first experience at Blackstrap. Sat at the bar and was greeted by a super friendly staff. Good atmosphere and energy for a beer and some food. My brisket was a little dry so looking forward to trying it again before ruling it out. Their special, poutine, was actually amazing. Can confirm as a Canadian.

Nice little place in Winthrop. Atmosphere is great. Good selection of craft cocktails and craft beer. Food was hit and miss. The vinegar flavor to the pulled pork had a nice zing to it but was a bit overwhelming. The burnt ends were flavorful and tender but could have been crisper. The spicy slaw and mashed potatoes were spot on. I'd like to come back and try some other dishes, including the BBQ fries. And I disagree with other reviewers comparing Blackstrap to places in the Carolinas and Texas. I didn't expect the place to be internationally competitive. It's good for Boston and worth a visit.

what can I say other than this place's food has never disappointed me. they keep a rotating option of specials, always amazing. great staff, quick & friendly. even if your just looking for a spot for drinks, their bar is stocked and their bartenders now their craft. if you can't decide what to order, I say go with the 3 meat combo, comes with two sides and cornbread. thank me later!

This BBQ gem will have your mouthwatering the moment you walk in and will make you want to take some take out even after you’re done. With its Rustic all American vibe coupled with amazing and friendly staff, this place is perfect any night of the week. The wings are spot on EVERY time and the specials are delectable. I had the spicy chicken Parmesan sandwich which I could not put down! P.S. if you’re a cornbread lover like me, you’ll be well surprised at how moist theirs is

We love Blackstrap in my house. Have been ordering takeout from this place for years, was a pandemic favorite. Have never dined in house, but seems like a nice resteraunt. It's my favorite bbq in the area. On occasion, we have received some dry food (corn bread, cajun chix to be specific). But as we say in this house, the flavor is always there! ;) It has never been bad enough to make us not want to order again and have remained customers for several years.
