B.T.'s Fried Chicken and BBQ

The food is delicious and outrageously convenient and affordable for the quality. My favorite is the Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich. These people have a gift for frying and the chicken is perfect, moist, and so big it is falling out of the large, sweet roll. It's so big I can break off a piece and nibble on the drive home and there is still plenty of chicken to cover the bun. Both the hot and regular friend chicken sandwich is a meal in itself and is only $9.50. It comes with homemade pickles and that is all it needs. I usually ask for extra pickles, as they are perfect. I live nearby, so I will sometimes drop in with one of my teenagers and for about $20 it gives my teen a chance to tolerate me and my presence for a nice meal. There are lots of combo meals of delicious meats and sides that my family members order, and every one I've tried is amazing. And these are usually ready to serve within a few minutes, as well. There is not much seating inside, and in the colder season, the room is too cold to stay and eat, so we take it home.

This PLACE IS SUPER OVERRATED AND NOT worth it! Start off with the meat literally no seasonings in ANY OF THE MEAT! Not pulled pork not chicken and the brisket meh! Worst sandwiches I’ve ever bought and then for 20$! Pork wasn’t pulled with no sauce taste like a pig not like cooked meat.Chicken sandwich horrible meat was different colored pink and brownish I got pictures to prove it I EAT BBQ EVERYWHERE I GO THIS IS APPALING!

I have eaten here dozens of times and never once had a negative experience. The fried chicken is my go to. It's the best I have had anywhere. Their Mac n cheese is bomb. The best brisket. Their prices have always stayed consistent and affordable. Pictured are the OG fries perfectly seasoned. A order for $5 can easily be shared with 2-3 people. The chicken nuggets posted were a special item that day paired with a good ranch dill sauce.

The boneless fried chicken is unbelievable! All three of us agreed it was the best fried chicken we ever had. We all look forward to getting it again. The Mac & cheese was also very good. Place was super clean including the bathrooms which is always a hint of the operation. Definitely a great find. Matt was super helpful and led us on the path of righteousness with our selections being our first visit😉

Big man incoming.. saw the 1/4 rack and said let's roll.. got the potato salad and the greens.. Huge smoked perfect ribs bigger than my head.. The greens are mixed with smoked pork shavings giving them a smoky lemon flavor you have to try. The potato salad isn't the norm as they are in a nice creamy sauce.. Get a menu don't stand around just head to the window and order they serve it right up on the spot on a tray. Try the sauces they are also unique..

Fantastic food! The service is very quick. Only gripe they don’t have sausage links and food is warm not hot, but I really like the food! The Mac and cheese is the best I’ve ever had! The cold sides were good. I got the cucumber mix which tasted like some vinaigrette. we also got the brisket, pulled pork and ribs which was smoky! My bf thought the meats were dry/chewy although I agree but I still like it! Would come again.

I've always been a soul food fan but the soul food I was eating never really touched my soul the way I felt it needed to. B.T's Fried Chicken earned the title as soul food. The flavors of the brisket were blended to perfection; the brisket was perfectly juicy, the fat melted like butter with a smokey aftertaste that tickles your taste buds, and the sauce gave a modest compliment to the meat that tasted like a nice high-five. And then the Mac and Cheese continued to exceed my expectations. The common creamy texture with an element of gouda would make any Mac and cheese connoisseur smile. The interior of the restaurant was very welcoming and homey with friendly staff, great music and great vibes. I definitely would recommend visiting if you're in or near the Worcester area and taking a seat if you've got the time.

I’m not a big fan of smoked BBQ food. My buddy brought me here, surly it’s good for the meat lovers. The staffs there were friendly, we ordered the three meats dinner with ribs, brisket and fried chicken to share. The fried chicken is my top pick, very moist and tasty. The cornbread and other sides were good. Although the smoked brisket was tasty and moist, somehow it has a strange smell I believe it’s from the charcoal. I’ll come back and try again to verify if I was wrong about it. Spent about $35 for two was reasonable.

I rarely experience 5 stars but this place deserves it... Austin took care of myself and my wife with amazing hospitality. Now let's talk about the food.... Never disappoints. The brisket is always tender and super flavorful. You can tell the cooks were taught by a master of bbq. Cooked at a perfect texture and temperature. The fried chicken..... man... juicy and just crispy enough. The meat almost falls off the bone! I mean Jesus this place can't go wrong. I can keep going but I'll leave right here. If your ever in Worcester and needs a quick bite at great prices....check this place out

Food was pretty good I got takeout although there was a little too much fat. No service sense I was on takeout

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat. When I walked in Austin welcomed me with a nice hello, what can I get you? I ordered a boneless chicken thigh as I didn't have much time. The chicken was delicious and moist with a crunchy breading. I will be back when I'm in the area again

Had the chance to stop by this unassuming corner BBQ spot in Worcester MA the other day, as I was visiting a friend at Worcester State University. From the moment we stepped out of the car, the sweet smell of BBQ smoke hit our noses. Yum! It is located right at a fairly busy intersection, and although it has a decent sized parking area, the few tables outside feel like a sub-prime place to really enjoy your 'cue. So we went inside. The lack of table space inside also put me in the mode of, "I hope we don't have to eat outside with all those cars zooming by". Spoiler alert - we didn't. The three of us headed to the counter where you can see lots of the sides and food ready to be served up on half sheet - cookie pans. Pretty common setup in BBQ spots. I found the menu a bit confusing. There are several boards on the wall offering different prices for various meats and sides. But then there are combos, and there is also a paper menu which is organized yet a different way. Suffice to say the three of us visiting were a little confused as to how to order. We got past this and ordered, one pulled pork sando with fries, one pulled pork platter with Mac/Cheese and Cuke salad, and one Nashville hot chicken with collard greens and bbq beans as sides. Consensus tase reviews: Pulled pork is really, really good. Having the option to add some sauce was good too. Better to add your own than have it swimming in its own sauce. Collard Greens are Excellent! Super smoky! Bits of pork in there. Delicious liquid. Top side choice! Chicken is super moist and flavorful. Nice sized pieces too! Nashville hot had a nice zip without being witheringly spicy. Mac/Cheese was rated as "really cheesy"! And the BBQ beans were good, and fairly standard. Other consensus comment: "Really big portions!" None of us finished our plates. Very generous. Next time we go, a sando and one side is plenty for a single person and could probably be split between two people. (I hated to see some good meat get tossed in the trash!) Summary findings: Really, really good BBQ. Go here. Try their food. You will like it. Might need more seating space and could probably steer customers a bit better with clear menus/boards. But neither of these last two things should deter you from going. Great job BTs! Four stars!!!

I ate the delicious chicken and fries so fast, I forgot to take a photo! It started with one bite of the beautifully seasoned fries and I just couldn't stop. The fried chicken was well coated and the BBQ sauce was such a great addition. Also, the fries are a lot! Perfect restaurant for takeout on a Sunday evening and the delivery service is super fast!

Okay. So when I tell you that this place is next level. You have no idea. I have been driving past this place for the longest time. And I finally stopped in. The food was on point with everything and they also have poutine in there, which I'm going to go back and try highly. Recommend this place and shout out. To the employee Evolina, she was awesome.

Best fried chicken for miles. Couldn't find me a better piece of fried chicken in the state or any surrounding state.

I'm confused why this place doesn't have 5 stars. The food was absolutely excellent, and honestly some of the best fried chicken i've ever had. The service was quick, the employees were helpful and welcoming. Lots of places to sit, and it smells so good when you first walk in! I don't even want to write this review because I want to keep this place a secret and all to myself because it's just that good! 10/10

YUMMM! Never Fails To Amaze! Love this place. The rich aroma of freshly charred meat is great when you enter, different from a cheap, sweet BBQ sauce. The servers are awesome, always helpful, welcoming, and informative. Everybody I've bright here has been overwhelmed by how good it all is. The brisket, fried chicken, pulled pork, and Mac & cheese are all on point and the best I've had in New England!! This is not fast food, this is fast gourmet BBQ.

Got takeout from here a few days ago and ordered the brisket sandwich and the chicken sandwich also macaroni and cheese and everything was delicious so we will be coming back to try some more of there delicious food

Excellent great chicken very crispy worth a stop in you won't be disappointed just like your old fried chicken well done

This place seemed busy when I got there. So, I figured it must be good. We had to wait over ten minutes to get our order taken. I am not sure what the hype is and what I am missing because I wish I could get my money back. The brisket and pork were dry and cold! The coleslaw tasted like vinegar only. The fries were basic with old bay seasoning on them. If you crack the cornbread in half you could see the dust and crumbs falls from it because it was so dry. The Mac n cheese was tasteless with ritz cracker topping. After have a taste of my meal, I couldn't stomach it and threw it away. It just wasn't worth the money or calories. Go elsewhere.

"What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you" (Chris Isaak) Thank You Wicked Bites - Part Two of Two If you live in my part of the country, and if your cable system carries New England Sports Network (NESN) you may have come across the show "Wicked Bites". It's a very fun show that has their three hosts crisscross around the region checking out local bars and restaurants. A recent segment highlighted B.T.'s Fried Chicken and Barbecue in Worcester, and the place looked so cool we kind of decided we'd stop there whenever the opportunity presented itself to do so. Yesterday's trip to Boston enabled us to stop there on the way home. We've been to B.T.'s barbecue place in Sturbridge on the way home from Treehouse Brewery. But we didn't stop in Worcester for B.T.'s barbecue, we wanted their fried chicken because the Wicked Bites guy said it was the best fried chicken he ever had. We both ordered one piece of chicken and a side. My wife had a massive chicken breast with a side of mac and cheese, and I had a massive Nashville Hot chicken breast with a side of cold cucumber salad (figuring I'd need something cool to temper the heat). My humongous slab of fried chicken was slathered in sauce and spice that packed quite a wallop, but the overwhelming star of my lunch was the chicken meat itself. Amazingly tender and juicy and flavorful - just plain old delicious. We shared a soda and everything ran about 20 bucks. We hope to catch a Worcester Red Sox game this summer and I'll bet you a nickel that a stop at B.T.'s will be part of that day.

It was decent. I ordered the two meat meal: ribs with house sauce and Nashville hot chicken, baked beans, and Cole slaw. The good: I enjoyed the Cole slaw. You will not like it of you prefer the heavily mayonnaises, sweet slaw. The baked beans were good...a little on the sweet side...but good. Portions were good for the price. The "okay" The cornbread did not taste like anything really so, u less it comes with the meal, i wont order it again. The Nashville hot chicken was REALLY greasy. I could probably pour out 1/8 cup of oil from the container. The ribs were decent but SUPER SMOKY! Of course they are smoked but they are by far the smokiest I've ever tasted. It's kind of like when you barbecue at home...you want it barbecued but you don't want to taste the charcoal when you bite into it. I may try them again but will "shop around" a bit first.

Delicious! I've wanted to try this place since they opened and finally got there. We parked in the back lot and came in through the back door. It was a little confusing at first where to go, it says go to the right to order and we went to the right and no one seemed to notice us. So we finally went down to the register and someone told us we needed to go back where we were to order. Then the menu wasn't very clear as to what they had (I had looked online before we came, but the others in our party hadn't). My elderly mom ordered their version of a steak sandwich with their own 'special cheese whiz sauce', my husband ordered the brisket and I ordered the fried chicken and we got sides of collard greens, macaroni and cheese and cornbread. Everything was so so good. Probably the best macaroni and cheese around. And those collard greens tasted just as good as I make them...so good. We loved our meat selections too! The only thing that wasn't 5 stars was the cornbread. Anyone with southern roots knows you NEVER put sugar in cornbread and there was sugar in it. We really loved the food here though and wish it was closer to our home.

I must say that recently being voted the best BBQ in Mass seems well earned. Had the brisket sandwich, which had generous brisket portions, and sides of cole slaw and cucumber salad. The brisket was tender, wonderfully smokey and flavorful. The cole slaw was a bit of an unusual flavor. I liked it. The cucumber salad and onions was delightfully crunchy with an Asian vibe. Restaurant was clean, the staff was Uber friendly and there is plenty of parking. I shall return to try other their other offering. It is nice to find excellent BBQ!

The food here is great. This review is based on the take out process, food, and ordering process. I ordered over the phone. The employee was both pleasant and informative. She let me know the food would be ready in 20-25 minutes and that I could get sauces and cutlery etc. at the pick up station. On to the how the food- how was it? The brisket was very tender and hearty. Could use some more seasoning though The fried chicken was hot and tangy different from what I expected but was good. It was a bit acidic but I think that's what the Nashville style is seasoned and brined with. The collards were well seasoned and great texture contrast to the meat. The mac and cheese was good- but it is missing some flavor - maybe needs a sharp cheese or maybe some kick to it. The corn bread was exceptional - good bite and sweet. The sauces were good. They were more of a thin barbecue sauce but still good. My favorite was the sweet BBQ. I thought this place was great overall! Will plan to come back whenever I am craving Southern Foods.

We have been here a number of times, and always had good food. However, tonight. We walked in and got in line. Nobody bothered to even recognize that we were there. They actually served a woman behind us without even acknowledging us. Of course the male that was there was very interested in her name. Anyway, it's unfortunate because we do like this restaurant we've been going to their original restaurant for years. But after how we were treated tonight never again.

Enjoy this place so much and is the best BBQ in the area. The brisket platter with cucumber salad and potato salad is my go to. Always great service especially from Cibelle

At the intersection of Park Ave and Chandler St, with an L-shaped parking lot with entrances from both. Across the parking lot you can see the smoke stack behind a fence, so they smoke onsite. Four panhandlers outside on my visit, one at each corner of Park & Chandler. Operation is takeout only, cafeteria style. First you order sides (smart move; nobody does that), then fried chicken and pulled barbecue meats (all from warmed stainless steel pans), then carved-to-order brisket and ribs (under a heat lamp). Brisket: Similar to vintage BT's Sturbridge from their heyday of a few years back: soft, floppy, barky, strongly salty (though not overboard), and strongly smoky (ditto). Lots of fat had to be trimmed away, but the ultimate portion was still at least the ordered half pound. Mix of point and flat, with the point luscious and the flat beyond merely moist. Great benchmark for the first visit. Rib: A single spare, got one from the long end. Really nice smoke, good bark, a little firmer than ideal, and moist at first bite but increasingly dry as I went along. Probably a reheat. Pork and Beef Chili: A special; fewer chunks of brisket than in their burnt ends chili, but still a good amount, and I like the little pieces too. Those had a little sweetness too them like sweet sausage, which is what BT added to the chili in the early Sturbridge days after removing the beans. Nice heat and smoke, a little oily but in a good way. Fried chicken: Big pieces of boneless thigh, the size of an outstretched hand. Thick, crunchy batter with a little tartness from buttermilk. Well seasoned and moist. Remember, it's been sitting and waiting to be ordered, so not as primo as the fried chicken special on first Tuesdays in Sturbridge, but very good. I've seen some complaints about the $5 per piece. It's bigger than a KFC breast, better than a KFC breast, and not corporate like KFC, so calm down please. Sides: Baked beans different from Sturbridge; softer and more like Boston baked beans with a little sweet and more heat. Potato salad also different: much less condiment and much less spice; basically quartered red bliss potatoes. Black eyed pea salad refreshing and cool, good complement to the smoke. Three servers were all new and all extremely friendly. Two bathrooms a plus. It looks like the area for dining once Covid goes away is fairly small.

Went in for the first time and was greeted by an amazing staff, and good atmosphere. Food was okay tried a bit of everything. Brisket was decent but kinda dry. Side dishes were good although corn bread was disappointing. Good chicken, but ribs were fatty but had a nice seasoning. Overall would try again as it could've been an off day.

BBQ is solid here. We had a 1/2 lb of beef brisket, and 1/2 of pulled pork with sides of 16 oz Mac and cheese, and 8 oz of potato salad. Flavors here are pretty consistent and comparable to their Sturbridge location. BBQ here isn't bad and fairly reasonably priced imo. What we truly enjoy is believe it or not, the sides! Mac and cheese is killer if you're a cheese fan, and the potato salad is great as well. I have no doubt this location will do well as they offer bbq on a pretty hot spot of Worcester with a bunch of colleges nearby. This location is where the old D'angelos use to be. And across the street from Walgreens. During the pandemic they are offering takeout only. You are able to go in and place your order or call ahead. I tried the online ordering on their site first but that wasn't available that moment. Ample parking on the side of the building or in the back as well. Wear a mask. Enjoy, and be well folks.

We love the menu in Sturbridge but the Worcester one does not some of the same items. The location is tough for parking but the staff are very friendly. The only disappointment was I got the Steak and Cheese sandwich and the cheese was like a taco que so cheese, not what I was expecting. It felt like and looked like I was eating something from a fair. I would not recommend that meal. I felt that you can get a better steak n cheese sandwich from a pizza place. The cole slaw has onions in it which is fine for me but it needs more slaw sauce, a bit dry for me. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich 5 stars ! The French fries are a must! The seasoning is delicious!

Maybe I'm biased because I live in the south but this wasn't my favorite BBQ. We had this catered for a reunion event and the food was mediocre at best. I will admit that the aromas in the restaurant were intoxicating so I was expecting a bit more of a wow factor when trying the food. It was good but not great. I tried the brisket and Mac and cheese. Both were good, just not as amazing as I had hoped. Bottom line- it's worth a try.

My husband had the three meat combo. Ribs were end cut and hard to chew off. Brisket was almost cut deli style, but smoked chicken was good. Corn bread seemed grocery store bought. My poutine was good over all, and I like the brisket on top, it was crumby so it was evenly distributed. I like the Sturbridge one better

Well I walked in the door and Van Halen was playing so I immediately got a good vibe! The place was very clean, and the staff is really friendly! Joe and Austin introduced themselves and provided A+ customer service! But of course the food was great! The pulled pork was cooked to perfection! Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for quick takeout or sit down!

The brisket & Mac & cheese were wonderful! Very flavorful! Fast, friendly service! Not over priced. Can't wait to try the chicken next time!

Chicken only rating. Ordered a couple of pieces of chicken and they were gross. They serve boneless thighs as pieces of chicken. The chicken coating was lacking in overall flavor. Tasted a slight tang in the chicken (possibly brined). Chicken was slimy and fatty. Chicken revamp needed.

The best real barbeque you are going to find anywhere around Massachusetts. Brisket is fantastic, tasty bark, delicious flavors. Beef ribs are great when they are available. All other items on the menu are equally good. Sides complete the picture for your meals. Always worth the trip.

I visited after seeing on wicked bites show. I ordered a 3 meat combo . Confusing to order as no menu on wall? Had to view a paper menu . Fried chicken was moist , but batter wasn't crunchy, was salty. I expected a smoked flavor to chicken but none. Was good quality boneless breast meat. One rib add on was tough to eat and not a fall off bone rib and served cold. Brisket was very good , but cut a lot of fat off of , so glad was not charged per lb. Baked beans were excellent. Cucumber salad needed a hit of sugar or something to kick up a notch like I ate at another Barbecue spot. The sweet barbecue sauce was good, the other two were not barbecue tasting and watery and too much vinegar ... how about a whisky glaze or honey bourbon sauce? Corn bread was weird.... Came in muffin wrapper? Dry and no taste.... Maybe add honey butter or water to be moist... The people working there were excellent, friendly, checked how everything was and all working hard to move customers in ordering process. I'd try again for sure but sides were lacking... mac and cheese looked bland, how about smoked grilled maple bacon Brussels sprouts, street corn , grilled green beans, grilled water Mellon, smoked grilled pineapple? Smoked sausage ,

Honestly, the best fried Chicken I've ever had. I know this is blasphemy to say but perhaps better than Thomas Keller's chicken at Ad Hoc. Wonderful fried, great batter and sauce on both the Nashville Hot and the regular fried chicken.Also had the brisket sandwich and potato salad, both excellent. Truley a find in Worcester. Oh and the service was great

The nashville chicken sandwich is a star. Crunchy and not at all dry. Chicken thighs are used for the sammich as opposed to chick fil a, which uses the breast. The bread is like a sub/hoagie roll in a burger bun form. The perfectly pickled pickles compliments the bird and the bun here. So make sure to add the pickles on there to help balance out the heat. The protein - They use a dry seasoning on the bird thigh as well as a nashville glaze on top. The crunch factor is perfect. It's lit. Enjoy this sandwich with the habanero sauce. The chili was a bit overseasoned and it had cubes of beef in there!?!! Chill.....Keep it ground beef! Overall, the flavor was great. FOH, I believe my order was put together by Theresa(3/12/2021). She was very helpful. It was 8pm on a Friday and her spirits were still high like I am rn. Nashville chicken sandwich:. A+ Final comments: please don't let up on the quality on this item. I live an hour away ....so please make it worth my drive. Chili: C+ Final comments: not a fan of cubed beef in the chili but the flavor is ON point. Service: A+ Final comments: Front of house - helpful and friendly. Made me feel like I was at Chick-fil-A. Oh, and there is parking. Extra kudos.

Food is generally good, but the value of the portions depends on who's serving you. The two men who are consistently behind the glass tend to be generous and give you your money's worth, and have friendly attitudes while providing good customer service. The young women--not so much. There is a distinct difference that is most obvious when they are working side by side with the men. (And I say this as a woman, so there is no bias in my statement about them.) The women provide skimpy portions and seem to hate their jobs and have bad attitudes. On my recent trip, the young woman helping me actually rolled her eyes at one point when I asked if she could dish grits that did not have some of the spilled over baked beans in them. Then she cut a skimpy and thin piece of brisket, right after I witnessed one of the male workers consistently cutting thicker slices for the customers he waited on. I pop in regularly and it doesn't matter if it's the weekday or weekend--the portion/service depends on the server. Bottom line: you might spend more than the food is worth depending on who serves you, but the taste and quality are usually great. (Though avoid the potato salad and understand the cornbread is mediocre, at best.) The iffy customer service knocks the stars down to 3.5, but Yelp doesn't allow half ratings.

Let me just say that customer service here is great! I wish I could say the food was as good. I ordered takeout with my brother and between the both of us, we got 1/2 rack of ribs, 1/2 lb brisket, corn bread, mac and cheese, and potato salad. I don't think their prices are bad, but if the food isn't worth it, then it's a waste of money. My ribs came from two different batches: 1 that was cooked perfectly fine and 1 that was close to raw. I don't know how this went unnoticed since I requested they cut the ribs for me. The brisket only had a hint of a smokey flavor and was very mushy. While their homemade BBQ sauce is delicious, it isn't supposed cover up the flavor of the meat. The sides were also just OK for me - nothing special about them. Overall I will still give this business the benefit of the doubt and try them again once they've been open for a bit longer. For now, I'll pass.

Dry old left over food. Saltiest mac and cheese. The chicken was terrible. Brisket was grossly over cooked and simply dry. Everything dry and terrible. Idk why the ruined their name with the Worcester one the Sturbridge original is the only one to go to. The people working were super nice in worcester but the food was terrible.

Can't get enough of BT's! We live about 35 minutes from Worcester and typically eat there twice a week. The brisket is some of the best I've had anywhere and a generous portion as well. The fried chicken is brined and perfectly seasoned (try the Nashville hot, it's not too hot and so flavorful!) and it is made with chicken thighs which are so much more flavorful than the standard chicken breast. The Mac & Cheese is insanely good.. nice and creamy with a ritz cracker topping! And we love the collard greens and potato salad as well. The staff and owner are always so friendly and hospitable and we are so happy to have found this BBQ gem!

My boyfriend and I were dying to try BT's for so long. We heard Sturbridge was better but we live closer to Worcester so took the drive out to finally see what all the hype was about. People hanging around outside the restaurant made it feel a little sketchy. But that's not the restaurants fault obv. The place itself was super cool inside! Everything behind the counter looked good, we ordered a bunch to try out a little of everything. And I love being able to see the food! 1/2 rack of ribs - ribs are my favorite BBQ item, I don't know if we got an end piece or what.. they were huge, but literally no meat on any of them I was ripping them apart to remove all the gross fat to find a smallest bite of meat - which was only good because I smothered it in sauce which was tasty. They were really deceiving size wise they looked like they'd be full of meat, I was bummed. Brisket plate with Mac & cheese/ cornbread- boyfriend loves brisket, he got a nice long piece, again a lot of fat, he didn't like the Mac n cheese I didn't think it was awful. The corn bread was dry. Nashville & regular fried chicken- one piece of each to try, salty, chicken texture was weird, can't pin point the flavor of either. Fountain root beer- flavorless must've ran out of syrup. Maybe we were there at a bad time? It wasn't busy when we arrived but it got busy while we are there. Maybe the food was end pieces or not fresh? Everyone that came in after us seemed to be really enjoying their meals. Again we have heard great reviews about this place and wanted to love it! Unfortunately we wouldn't return but it's also just our personal opinion and you might love it! I know I come to Yelp for reviews before trying new places, and I also know that there's places other people don't like that I love. Just sharing my own personal experience. The staff was great no problem there, place was clean and cute!

This was our second time trying them and I have to say we probably won't be going back. I did the two meat combo chicken was salty the brisket was good the greens were good but the corn bread was dry and nasty.

this is one of our favorite spots, and we have a gluten-free vegetarian, a vegetarian, and a fried chicken worshipper in the family! I adore the grits and baked beans, plus the refreshing zingy cucumber salad; our daughter loves the mac & cheese (leftovers reserved exclusively for her!!); and hubby cannot get enough of the fried chicken. and we all appreciate the paper take-out packaging -- not a plastic wrapper or tub, or not-needed utensil in the whole bag. thanks B.T.'s!!

We were in Worcester for the day and decided to try this place out. We were not disappointed! The fried chicken sandwich was humongous and only $7.5! I did not finish it, but it was very tasty. I wish the bread had been a little bigger. For 5 bucks you get a huge container of french fries. Couldn't finish those either (even with someone else!) However, they were really good. Way better than your BK or Wendy's! Note - they are hot and spicy - so if that isn't your jam - ask for them plain. The restaurant is small and clean and the servers were extremely friendly. We don't live nearby, otherwise, we'd be back! Definitely check this place out and support a local business!

Food was fabulous. We had a chicken sandwich and brisket with beans, coleslaw and Mac & cheese. Sandwich was great. Crispy chicken on a bun with pickles. It's spicy so if you don't like hot I would stay away from it. Brisket was good but my husband forgot to order the sauce on the side, it doesn't come with it, you have to choose. So I didn't really care for it without sauce. The next time we got it we did get it with sauce and it was good. The macaroni and cheese was incredible, I absolutely loved it. My husband loved the coleslaw and he said there's some ingredient in it that's different and ate the whole thing. We both enjoyed the baked beans they were very good. Overall the food is great and we have already gone back.

The food, the people, the vibes! all amazing. The Brisket is out of this world!!!! The Ribs are very good. Have a blast.

Good service unfortunately the food is consistently cold Due to the fact that The consistency of the food out as a display piece and the time that you get a cut and it is serve on the plate is Cold consistently, leaving it out as a display piece nobody got time for that serve me hot good food for the Price that we are paying for and do not serve me a cold meal that is consistently cold so do better or yeah.:.

Finally got the chance to try the Worcester version of B.T! The online ordering process was quick and easy. You pick what you like, pay with a card, decide if you want pickup or curbside, and ta-da! You're ready to receive your food within 15 minutes! I ordered the infamous fried chicken sandwich with a side of macaroni and cheese. It is not your average fried chicken. It has a slightly sour/tang to it because of its rub so keep that in mind. I am very picky when it comes to chicken and I prefer it to be dry because I had a bad experience when I was younger. My boyfriend's chicken sandwich was cooked to perfection whereas mine was a bit undercooked but we ended up trading. So, with that being said, my only complaint is that there is inconsistency. The portions were big, it had a nice crunch in every bite, the bread was soft and fluffy, and the pickles were the cherry on top. The macaroni and cheese were average so there isn't much to rave about. I most likely wouldn't order it again. Other than that, my favorite was the sandwich. I wouldn't mind coming back whenever I'm craving it!

We were there during COVID restrictions (April 2021) and they were doing everything right for their staff and customers. My wife and I got the 6pc fried chicken dinner, let's just say I finished one before the car left Worcester. It was great and it reheated really good in my air fryer! Now I just need to find a reason to drive back out for more!!

Stopped in after hearing a lot about the place the service was top notch food was good I'm big on sides at a bbq establishment and if you have coleslaw that's amazing I'm in. I got the cucumber salad and baked bean both were good. I was told there is onions in the slaw no thanks ....brisket and pulled pork was tasty and moist anD served with a smile I'd eat there again

This is a great place. Food was awesome the staff very friendly and helpful. Great BBQ the fried chicken was awesome my son and I loved it

I was super disappointed with this place. Smoked pulled chicken was super dry and hard in spots. Mac and cheese was decent but still needed more seasoning. Pulled pork sandwich bun was stale. BBQ beans had a weird texture. Almost like they hadn't stirred them and the top layer of beans got dried out and sort of hard. The sauces were awful. I feel badly giving such a bad review but it just wasn't good. Sweet sauce was like ketchup but sweet. House sauce was odd and the worst was the mustard sauce. I know it's supposed to be heavy on vinegar but this was almost inedible. Take your breath away vinegar overload. Not balanced at all. I am not a professional chef at all but a lot of this food was just plain out bad. Kind of surprised something like this could come out of a restaurant. I should have listened to the other reviews. I hope that they improve bc I love bbq!! Back to smoke house I go.

Little skeptical of the BBQ options because the place is advertised as a "Fried Chicken" joint first but don't let that fool you. Inside they have a big picture of some bare knuckles with "Soul Food" tattooed on the fingers. Not entirely sure if I can authentically call this food the category of "Soul" but kinda sorta I guess. Went to check out the traditional BBQ options, haven't tried the Fried Chicken. So this is strictly a review on their Ribs, Brisket, Mac and Cheese, Beans, Grits, and some deserts. Ribs were dry rubbed and no sauce on them (perfect). Came pre-sliced (perfect) Taking them to go they put them in a little aluminum coated bag (like the beef teriyaki skewers from Asian restaurants) and it kept them warm and juicy (awesome) The Look on them was beautiful, lot of meat (what they call a "Full" Spare Rib) great smoke ring and I could see the individual spices in the rub (delicious) The rub was practically the perfect mix of a bit of sweet, a bit of salty, and a bit more of savory smokey spices. Meat was very soft and tender and juicy, didn't cross into that weird over done threshold though where the meat falls apart unnaturally. And the meat itself was exactly how a pork rib is supposed to taste. This place had the best Ribs I've ever had in my opinion. Awesome job. Brisket was a whole different story. I like a moist brisket meat but this was overly moist. The fat didn't really melt that good in the mouth and suprisingly really didn't have any flavor to it. The bark on the Brisket was very noticable but really didn't have much flavor to it either. The meat itself kinda fell apart the way a corned beef brisket would when you bite it. But for some reason the meat instantly turned dry in my mouth ( I don't even know how to explain it). And the meat was a soft chewy consistency. It's almost the same texture as those really soft gums, or like Tums chewy anti-acids, or those weird Hi-Chews you see all over the place now. Just this lingering texture in my mouth, most time the food shrinks and bit go into my throat without my really trying to swallow. But this just sat there like I was supposed to keep chewing it like a cow with grass. I wouldn't go as far to say it was gross, but it was weird, yet I do think most people would still think it's good Brisket. Mac and Cheese! Alright, the points went back up on this one. Awesome cheesy flavor made from obviously some white cheddar but something else not common. I don't know if it's another kind of cheese with a salty zesty zing to it, or if it was spiced at all. Gritty texture and not just cheese sauce, pasta cooked nicely, breadcrumbs were still crunchy and delicious. The only thing I could have done without is the bits of the orange cheddar that don't melt with the other cheeses so they just start thickening up. I'd just not put any of that orange stuff in at all. But still, some of the best mac and cheese I've ever had. Baked Beans .... and points go down again. I'm looking at some of the pictures on here ... those are NOT the beans I got. I got a bowl of black beans that were barely cooked (still hard) with some weird sweet bean juice at the bottom of the container. Sexy Grits. Not the biggest officiate on what makes good grits, but if I were to say anything about these grits it's that they are tasty, cheesy, got a teeny weeny kick to them ... but a little too cheesy and didn't really remind me of traditional style grits (let alone the "sexy" cheesy style). Still good though, I don't think anyone would ever complain. Had to try myself a slice of Butter Cake and a Pecan Square. I feel like a novice because I've never tried butter cake before, and this stuff is great! If you've never had it before, it's almost like a flan texture and taste but just a flattened slice of it. And the Pecan square was out of this world good! Despite the fact it has some of the best items I've ever had, and one of the few places I would ever go back to, they dropped the ball on the Brisket and the Beans for me. So they can't get a full 5, but more like a 4.5 from me. I'll have to see what they are doing with those beans.

As a fan of the original BTs smokehouse in Sturbridge since the early days when there were only a couple of tables and the owner was cooking and serving with a broken arm in a sling, I was thrilled to have a chance to enjoy the same great BBQ and sides closer to home. It's as good as the original, with only one quibble: the coating for the fried chicken is way too salty, so much so I had to remove it to enjoy the tender, moist chicken beneath. It's a shame, because the texture was so crispy and crunchy. With just this one adjustment the primary menu item would be epic!
