17 Essential Barbecue Restaurants in and Around Boston

"This South Shore newcomer has been quickly building up a fanbase since opening in early 2019. It’s known for its sauce choices — there are about a dozen — and over-the-top dishes like a grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with pulled brisket, mac and cheese, and honey barbecue sauce. The cornbread, which comes with a choice of butters (whipped, cinnamon, or bacon), is a must." - Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal

The brisket which is what I really rate an American BBQ place on was very tough and dry. Horrible. I found the brisket offensively bad. The ribs were ok. Not the most tender I’ve had , but tender none the less. The wings had a nice crispy to the skin and were good. The pulled meats were not pulled very well so often had larger chunks. Some of the pull pork was good and tender but some was not. Costco rotisserie chicken I had recently was much more tender. The chicken here is tough and dry. All the sides are good, the Mac and cheese is very good. The sauces are the star of the show here, many choices, I tried 5 or so and all were good. I will say the hot sauces are not spicy, but the next level up is too spicy, they have not achieved balance with the spicy level here. Over all I would not come back, but if I did I would avoid the brisket and pulled chicken completely. The greatest weakness of this BBQ place is the meat, which is sad for a BBQ place. My favorite thing here was the Mac n cheese and corn bread.

Come early because the tastiest burnt ends on the menu goes fast during the weekends! Fantastic slices of meat with delicious flavors and a huge variety of homemade sauces. Lots of options for sides, my favorite the Mac n cheese and the hush puppies. Platters come with corn bread and three options for butter! Bacon, cinnamon or plain. Solid selection of beer as well. I don't get a chance to see too many BBQ places in Massachusetts but this one is a definite recommend for me. Came here with high expectations and none of the food let me down. Lots of parking out back. There is a small space for inside dining maybe 6 small tables and service was quick and easy. Order at the counter and they bring the food out for you! I will be coming back.

When it’s good, it’s great. When it’s bad, it’s not a flavor that you like it’s not that it’s bad. It’s also pretty expensive for the portions. $30 for two slices of fatty brisket and two sides is crazy. 50 cent wings on weekends is crazy good deal and pushed the score to four stars from three.

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I ordered chili and the pork belly ends sandwich. The chili came with cornbread and a choice of three different butters. Bacon, cinnamon, or regular. The cinnamon was great. The chili was excellent, great body and great flavor. The sandwich was also outstanding. It was just the pork on a bunch but had great flavor. If I were to go back I would ask if they could add cheese and slaw. That would truly make a top five sandwich. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 8.6.

4/2023- We got two platters that come with two sides and corn bread. We asked for cinnamon butter but it was never put in our bag. It came to over $60 for both platters and they were good. We really love the cowboy beans and loaded smoked potatoes. Everything seemed to have the same smoked flavor instead of having a taste of its own like the first time we tried this place. The brisket and ribs are really good. 1/2023- we got takeout a few days ago. Last time we loved the food and had got platter for one to split, this time we got two meals. It cost about the same , around $50. The food was good. But a few of the ribs had almost no meat on them at all. And the brisket seemed skimp this time with two thin strips and one small one. The sides were good, got cowboy beans, coleslaw, and two of the loaded mashed. Some of the sauces looked and tasted a bit different from last time. The cornbread was good with cinnamon butter like always. Wasn't busy. Girl behind the counter was young and seemed a little lost. Hopefully next time we try this place the meats are like they were the first time. 4/2022- Our first time trying and we got take out, it was so good! We shared the platter for one. It was really good. We loved the ribs and brisket. The mashed potatoes were really good. The Mac and cheese was ok, wish it had more cheese flavor , or not so dry. Corn bread with cinnamon butter is simple but amazing. The meat falls right off the bone and loads of flavor. The sauces are different but good too. The woman Infront of us when picking up her order got all the sauces flavors, so we were happy to be able to choose more then two and asked for four types. Definitely be trying again soon.

For New England BBQ it's pretty good but if you have ever spent any time in the deep south like I have it's just ok. Good variety of sauces, the cornbread is dreamy. The ribs tasted good but not quite fall off the bone that you get at Texas Roadhouse. Pulled pork was very good. The brisket was good not great. The hush puppies were weird, too big and too sweet. It was almost like the Doughnut Holes I had at Yaz's Table up the street but not as good. Good variety of beers and sodas. The staff was friendly but it took a long time to get my orders which was not large at all.Parking and dining in the front and back of the building. Perfect for catering, they specialize in big orders. Because they have soo many items I will return for the eat in experience. Ok soo far. Too be continued.

I was really looking forward to treating myself and my friend bill to a nice barbecue lunch. Bill had the mac and cow and was very pleased. My experience was less than Savory the pork belly was dry and fatty at the same time there was nothing on the sandwich apart from the meat, I feel the price was way exorbitant for the lousy sandwich I will not be ordering that in the future Wicked BUMAH !

Best BBQ food around! I've been to many BBQ places from coast to coast & this tops them all. Brisket & pulled pork were amazing & portions were falling out the side of the sandwich . My kid loved everything & raved about the fries. Also the young lady taking orders up front was very kind.☘☘☘

The food and service here are fantastic! I had a Mac & Cow, which was delicious and enough to bring home leftovers. The cornbread and cinnamon butter were to die for; it was seriously the best cinnamon butter I've ever had. You won't regret visiting here!

I got burnt end platter on Friday with the sides Mac & cheese, loaded potatoes. To start with the good, the people who worked there were so nice! The sides were very good as was the corn bread. The sauces/ marinades they make were so tasty. The bad was the pork was extremely fatty.. Like 90% fat and a tiny bit of meat! The portions were tiny, too. Maybe burnt ends are supposed to be all fat and I didn't know that but it was really gross.. Like all pork fat! $30 and I threw most of it away.. It is too bad as the sauces were so good as were the sides and the people that worked there. The quality of the meat, portion size and prices were really poor.

I been meaning to try them . We went to his new location because it was closer to us. It's in a convenient store. I got the Pulled pork, Brisket, and ribs. All had a smokey taste and tender. The Mac&cheese was tasty . The corn bread was sweet and soft. My friends got the Mac and cow which was Brisket, Mac &cheese , BBQ sauce on Texas Toast. We also got the Pulled pork burrito. Service was fine. It was pretty pricey because you have to pay for everything separate. Overall, it was good.

We went to the Middleboro location yesterday, and it was amazing. We had a pulled pork sandwich with gold sauce, and it came with delicious mac & cheese my husband had a brisket sandwich with honey BBQ sauce, and his side was corn bread with cinnamon sugar butter. Best BBQ in our area, hands down. The staff was super friendly and welcoming and will definitely be back

Overall the food was good. I could do without The mustard bbq sauce. Too runny. I got the ribs Mac and cheese collard greens. A bit pricey for $23. Most places that's a combo. Also the staff was using foul language a lot. Other than that it was ok.

After seeing this place raved upon on the 'Phantom Gourmet', we decided to drive up from Providence to check out their BBQ since we had yet to find any good BBQ since moving up to New England from down south. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. Everything was nicely prepared, but the meats on the 'Sample Platter' for two had nothing worth writing home about. We also tried the Chili with Cornbread and while the chili itself was decent, the cornbread was dull and listless. On top of that, the 'sweet tea' we ordered was old as it had been made much earlier in the day and so we had to exchange that for regular soda. So, for all the rant and raving they did to promote this place on TV, they did not deliver any great flavor. Oh well, our search for good BBQ continues.

Service is always good, and the ambiance is easygoing and lacks nothing except maybe some quieter chairs. The biggest problem I have is surprisingly the food. The flavors are on point almost every time, but every time I've gone the food is cold. I mean from the fridge and I into the microwave for 15 seconds cold. If your food is hot consider yourself lucky. I still go because the flavors are awesome but if they could maybe put the Mac and cheese in the microwave for 30 seconds it might make it better.

I've ordered from here a few times and honestly it's not that the food is terrible, it's just that it's not that good and kind of overpriced for what they offer. I feel like the "great" reviews are just people who haven't had really good barbecue‍. I feel like I go back once in awhile just because I've ordered once and the food was actually very good... But considering that's out of maybe five total visits I think three stars is all they deserve. And they really need to lower their prices, just my opinion.

Costumer service was perfect, answered all of our questions and checked on us. Bus your own trays and wet wipes available.

Sometimes when you get there an hour before their soft closing, they delight in telling you, with a fair amount of glee, that they have "good news & bad news." The bad news is that they're all out of food. The good news is that they're all out of food (that is, it's quittin' time & they can go home). Then you're left standing there while they stare at you gauging your reaction, to determine how much schadenfreude they can glean from the situation. This is accompanied by a fair amount of smirking. When they *do* have food, it varies between a C and a B. Blue Ribbon in Newton/Dedham is way better.

Was down in the area visiting my Brother and fam and this is his favorite spot so we decided to go and have a little fam lunch. So first of all I went in there hungry (bad mistake) I tend to over order when hungry - doesnt everyone? Got the kids some chicken and mac & cheese, ordered several plates to pick & share. Was a little overwhelming in the place I feel like we ordered enough food for a small village but the Owner & staff were OVERLY Accommodating, even had a little bit of a convo with owner and he gave me some free items (I Love GREAT customer service!!) The food was soo good, I even bought orders of things to bring home. The burnt ends were INSANE good, the Mac & Cheese was super thick & cheesy. My only gripe was not more veggies on the sides menu, but no big deal - I just like greens - thats just me greedy self! The corn bread was great too, I cant wait for the world to open back up again so I can go visit! if you stop in, look for my sons artwork on the wall!!

Sarcastic Swine BBQ Restaurant & Catering The Mac and Cheese is crazy good #2forks1plate Okay okay okay okay, local country BBQ..... I just came over the Brockton Line to Abington. @sarcastic_swine_bbq Yoooooooo the Mac and Cow "Soon to be Famous" sandwich. Mad flavorful and delicious. The ribs were tender, needed a little bit more salt and pepper. But overall good. 9 BBQ sauce options... The cornbread was very moist with 3 butter options. The sides were generous and filling. You're guaranteed to go home with a doggy bag. The prices were reasonably. I'll give this location 4forks out 5... The collard greens are offered as 1 of their sides. The green we tender but lack favor, needs some down home seasoning. #2forks1plate #bbq #bbqlife #bbqribs #bbqlovers #bbqporn #ribs #pork #collardgreens #friedcorn #corn #pecansweetpotatoes #goodeats #food #foodporn #foodie #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodstylist #foodblogger #smokedmeat #smokedchicken #chickenwings #olliespears #2_forks_1_plate #pork #collardgreens #friedcorn #corn #pecansweetpotatoes #goodeats #food #foodporn #foodie #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodstylist #foodblogger #smokedmeat #smokedchicken #chickenwings #olliespears #2_forks_1_plate #Abington #AbingtonMA #Massachusetts

The Mac and Cow is a spectacular guy bomb of a 'wich which features gluttonous foodstuffs stacked between two slices of Texas toast. What, you ask? American cheese, mac and cheese, pulled brisket (lean but flavorful), and honey BBQ sauce. House made chips on the side. Ho boy, see also: "the Coma Basket." Kiddo menu is either grilled cheese, or... chicken fingers? A cheeseburger? One of the two. Point is, it's a beastly meal for a paltry $5. Bring your offspring and help them polish off the massive side of exquisite shoestring fries. Sauce boss: all styles represented, from Memphis white, to vinegar-based Carolina mop, to a fiery "We Can't Stop Now, This Is Bat Country" tongue-teaser. I'm guessing habanero and carrot blend, but whatever it is, it's the hottest of the bunch. I really like this place and look forward to eating my way through the meats and sides. I do take umbrage with cheap cuts in cheap suburbs charging Boston prices, but with the dearth of real smoke pit BBQ on the South Shore, I guess they can get away with it. No sarcasm implied.

Excellent BBQ hole in the wall place that you'll pass by trying to find it because the business like the sign is buried in the middle of a little strip mall. I tried the Brisket, ribs, half chicken, bean, collard greens, coke slaw and corn bread. The only issues I had was the collard greens were pretty plain and watery, the coke slaw was made with mayo which I don't like and the brisket was a bit too fatty (but good tasting). I must say the corn bread was the best I've ever had. Moist and not flaky like most cornbread. You get 3 choices of homemade butter with it(I like the plain) and there's over a dozen BBQ sauce flavors for whatever you're eating. The ribs are also outstanding and the chicken was cooked great. If you don't like BBQ you at least must go there and try the cornbread.

Strip mall setting with front and rear entrances, easy parking in front and rear, outside seating, and about a half dozen tables for four with additional counter stools. Ordering is over the counter, but they'll bring your order to the table. Pretty extensive menu, with meats available in combos and by the pound. There's at least a half dozen sauces you can pump, with a good mix of sweet, spicy, mustardy, vinegary, mayoey, and barbecuey. Wings A- A gigantic portion (though at nearly $15 it better be), evenly mixed among flats and drumettes. We ordered them unsauced to take advantage of the many available sauces for dipping, and they were tasty enough on their own that sauce was an enhancer, not a rescuer. Good combination of crispness and moistness. Steak Tips D Ordered as part of a 3-meat combo; there were 6 of them, each about the size of a charcoal briquette, grilled and unsauced. Taste was okay, nothing special; couldn't detect any marinade flavorwise or moistnesswise. The meat was very chewy, and tough enough that I had to spit my second one out rather than continue unproductive chewing. There wasn't enough potential to try these again. Brisket B+ Also on the 3-meat combo, three long, thick slices that had both "flat" and "point" cuts. Both parts were moist to juicy and the meat had a pleasant smoky flavor that was neither weak nor strong. Ample salt added another flavor dimension. No pot roasty feel (so common elsewhere) and no sauce necessary for this meat, which was very enjoyable. Pulled Pork A Lots of delicate strings, some pink and some pale, all moist and extremely tender. Larger chunks were more pink (from smoke ring, not from being undercooked) and nearly as tender, with the added bonus of crisp bark. All of it had light smoke and a stronger combination of rub and pork flavor. This was good eats with or without the vinegar sauce that I recommend as an accompaniment. Easily one of the best examples of pulled pork in the region. Ribs C StL cut spares were tender and juicy, but a watery kind of juicy, with uncrisp would-be crusts. Decent flavor, tender texture, though more pork choppy than classic rib texture. Think of the pork strips you sometimes see at old school Chinese restaurants--that's what the color and texture reminded me of. Not a fail, but a missed opportunity to shine. Unlike with the steak tips, I do see potential her Sausage B An a la carte link came pre-sliced, which was good for sharing but at the loss of some moisture perhaps. Very tender and surprisingly sweet. A review of the menu reminded that they're cherry mango sausage. Lots of fennel seed to balance it out. This one's not for everyone, but different enough that it's worth a try. I liked it. Sides were similarly at both ends of the spectrum: Mac and cheese dazzled with warm, thick, gooey cheese, while potato salad was as plain as could be. Jiffy mix consistency/flavor on the block of cornbread, but good size and a few different butter options. Overall, a good showing despite the few duds. With wings, pork and brisket this good, they're at least in the discussion for better ones in the area and undoubtedly off to a good start.

New to town and saw this shop on a YouTube feature and decided to try it out. Spent $30 to get their sampler platter for one person. Came with brisket, smoked wings, pulled pork, pulled chicken, couple of ribs, corn bread, and two sides (I got beans and collard greens). I also got three sauces - hickory, carolina, and "the chuck". There was nothing bad on the plate, though my favorite by far was the sliced brisket. The pulled pork was the least flavorful but may have been great slathered in sauce on a bun as a sandwich. In the end, it was too much food for me (and I was on an empty stomach and ready to eat a lot). Prices weren't super cheap, but good proteins cost a lot of money, so I understand their pricing. In the hour I was there eating, there was a constant stream of customers (many of them picking up or ordering trays of food for catering events). Seems like a popular spot for good BBQ - I'll be back.

Their mac n cheese was not made with macaroni, but with cellentani. what a rip off. /s the burnt ends are the best, but like a dutch joke, they are out of them most of the time. they are too busy to pick up their phone, which is a bummer. Sooo, call back repeatedly until they get less busy or drive there! /s they are nice when they do pick up the phone, which is nice. the brisket wontons are better than they sound. the duck/quack sauce is just mushy applesauce, and not worth using. save your gas money driving that small container around. use BBQ on them instead. they are not cheap. not bad value, not great value. except for the parts that l like, where it is underpriced. not /s I very much hope to go back to explore and get larger portions!

The portions here are generous and the ribs are tender. Compared to Blue Ribbon BBQ, the price is about the same but you get more for your money here and the atmosphere is nicer.

I am nearing the end of my staycation & wanted to feed the carnivore inside. My wife suggested Sarcastic Swine a while back; others I know had also recommended it - so, today was the day. Not disappointed. We arrived early afternoon - the place was busy, but not overly so, especially given the nice weather we are having on this Saturday. The staff took our (my wife went along for the ride) order in about 5 minutes. Note - plenty of parking in the back (thanks for putting that on your FB page & website). The wait for food was only about 10 minutes. Quite reasonable. And they asked what types of sauce we wanted - ended up with the honey and Carolina varieties - my wife's choices. Then we headed home with our bounty. Meat - Let's start with the full slab of ribs: Good flavor. Meat falls off the bone nicely. A solid four out of 5. The mustard sauce was a nice addition to these ribs. Next up, the brisket - not sure yet - I'll likely have to go back for more for further testing/sampling(!). There was a fair amount of fat on this brisket, but it melted in my mouth. Usually, the briskets I've had in other places were more lean - hence my need to try more, so I'll hold off on a score till later. Finally, the burnt ends - a very strong 4, bordering on a 5. Great flavor - the smoke is most strong with the burnt ends. Less fat, too. We ordered two sides: the smoked mashed potatoes and the cole slaw. Eh. Just a 3. I expected more flavor with the mashed potatoes - they were rather bland. The slaw was a mayo style - I tend to like the vinegar-based slaws more. I'd likely pass on both of these in the future - but, I'll definitely try other sides in the future. And I do plan on returning, because it is the meat that counts and given that I live in the greater Boston area, this is pretty good! Just to let folks know - my favorite city for BBQ is St. Louis, but I've also had BBQ in Memphis, Oklahoma, and other locals, which are closer to the source - Boston, alas, is not the best choice in the U.S. for this cuisine. All that said, the carnivore in me was satiated today. I'll be back for more.

Super impressed! What a great setup. I was a little concerned at first because the menu doesn't seem to have a 2 meat combo meal. They had platter meals with 1 meat and 2 sides. I asked if they could accommodate just a few ribs and brisket into a platter and they seemed to be perfectly okay with it. Although I'm not entirely sure what I paid for. I think it kind of all worked out? 1/2 Rack platter goes for $20.95 and that includes 2 sides and cornbread. I asked for some Brisket and they put it in there but I doubt I got the portion that the Brisket Platter has. The Brisket Platter is $21.95. I got an extra side of Rice and a Drink and a Pecan Square. I paid about $44 ... So I guess that kinda makes sense but still ... bit on the pricey side if you ask me. Good thing the Food was WORTH IT! Ribs were looking INSANE! Almost as thick as Beef Ribs, Awesome Rub and Glaze on the top, bit of a beautiful smoke ring, Dry rub rib with a bit of a drizzled BBQ cooked on, Pre-cut, smelled incredible. First bite got a "Wow" the natural flavor and juices of the pork were still there, actually the flavor of the meat was more powerful than the rub. The Rub flavor was amazing too, not salty at all, leaning a bit more on the sweet side if anything, but for the most part it's a nice savory smokey pork taste. Meat doesn't fall off the bone (which is a good thing) but it comes off real easy with the bite. Brisket has a Super black bark to it, perfect little amount of fat on top, maybe an inch of meat. Fat melts almost instantly like hot butter in the mouth. The Beef flavor is juicy and natural and unlike a lot of other briskets that are loaded with smokey flavor. The Fat itself had a TON of flavor in it though and it melted over the meat in the mouth like BBQ heaven. I've had a lot of Brisket and I can easily say that there is a "perfect" Brisket out there (probably Frank's) And I think Sarcastic Swine's Brisket gets real close to it, the only thing they might lack is a bit more flavor in the rub and more smokey flavor in the meat. But the texture is the hardest thing to achieve and I think they Nail it here! Mac and Cheese was Cavatappi pasta (Macaroni if it looked like a spring). Cooked well and with a simple cheese sauce. At first look I was disappointed because it was obviously just a cheese sauce and I'm always hoping for baked style. But the sauce was gritty and delicious so I know it was authentic and not some gross factory cheese goop or something. Blind taste test I would have said it was baked. Beans looked Awesome. Not a bunch of "runny" liquid sauce, more that muddy gravy look! Maybe a 3 bean recipe I saw Red, Pinto, and maybe White? Bits and pieces of bell pepper, onion, some pork. Flavor wasn't crazy powerful but it really complimented the natural taste of the Beans. Cooked perfectly so the beans stay firm until they easily break apart in the mouth. This is a baked bean recipe for Bean fans. A lot of places do a BBQ sauce bean (Cowboy Beans) or they through in some fruits or powerful spices and they're all really good but it kills the natural taste of just the bean. This place doesn't do that which is great in my opinion. Redneck Rice was pretty much a regular seasoned yellow rice with some corn, black beans, diced bell peppers, onion, nothing crazy. Taste didn't really remind me of all the other yellow rice recipes I've tried but it kind of made me feel like there was a cheese element to it. Not that there was cheese in it but the texture of the little bit of "mooshiness" around the rice kind of felt like it was a cheese sauce. Cornbread was magical. Even more so because out of the 100+ places I've been to, this is the first time I have ever been given an option of What Kind of Butter! Bacon Butter, Cinnamon Butter, or Whipped Butter! And I was like "ALL THREE!" jk ... but I should have. Went with Cinnamon. Cornbread to go was in a wax paper wrapping and it unfortunately took the top of the bread off with the paper. But it was moist and cool and a hint of sweetness, bit of a grit, kind of reminded me of a store bought mix but I still enjoyed it. Put the butter on it and then all the sudden it becomes the greatest thing on the planet. Pecan square I was told was "Amazing" and I gotta say .. might be a stretch. Looked delicious, but if it was warmed up I think it would be incredible. The coolness of it I think was killing the flavor, I just think it needs to be warm. But it was definitely good. Okay, their sauces are crazy. They have 11! Homemade Unique Sauces. Honey, Hickory, Hot Like Your Mama, Bama, Chuck, Golden, Cherry Bomb, Carolina, Jabba Dew Pickles, Q (AKA The Cure), and Kokua. Hickory, great flavor but for some reason the texture was like a cocktail sauce. Golden sauce was kinda green with all kinds of herbs and spices, lot of dill, lot of sweet. Jabba Dew Pickles is Dill and Mountain Dew sauce .. AWESOME! Cant describe it at all.

I've tried going to eat there twice before both times there was a sign on the door that they were closed. Went there on Sunday and the food was fantastic and the staff was pleasant. Definitely will try to get back there when I'm in that area.

The food is so good. The hot sauces are so good. The cornbread is so good! Always order extra cornbread, you're going to want more!

A co-worker recommended this place to me and the food did not disappoint! Ordering online was super easy on their website. We had a group of 7 people and deduced to order the Meurch platter, which was more than enough food. All the meat came naked (no sauce) and you can choose your sauce when you pick up your order. The Pulled Brisket was everyone's favorite, tender and juicy. The pulled pork was great when dipped in the bbq sauce. Ribs were meaty and fall off the bone. As for the sides, the honey cornbread was AMAZING, soft, sweet and delicious, especially with the cinnamon butter! We also got the tots, Mac and cheese, hush puppies, and an extra side of mashed potatoes. The hush puppies were good, a little dense, but since they were soaked in the melted cinnamon butter in the container, it wasn't dry. The Mac and cheese was average, kind of reminded me of Velveeta. The tots were good too but got crushed in the box. The mashed potatoes were my least favorite, not such if it was because the potato skin was still in there or if it was the gravy. Overall, the brisket and cornbread made the meal delicious! I will definitely be back!

This place is FIRE. My go to is the Mac and Cow. The toast is perfect, the mac is creamy, the meat is tender. Overall such a bomb sandwich. It comes with chips that are seasoned very well but slightly overcooked for my personal taste but still good overall. I also got a platter of Pork Belly Burnt Ends they were fine, I was honestly underwhelmed they were not as tender as I like but the sauce was great. I got mac and cheese on the side which was phenomenal, not much else to say about it is GOOD. I also got the mashed potatoes and gravy which was pretty forgettable honestly next time id choose beans or rice. I also got cornbread with cinnamon butter, man oh man that stuff was good. Tried the super spicy sauce on the side that stuff was flavorful and hot. They also have a big selection of local craft beers which are nice to wash down such a hearty meal. I know I had some criticisms in the review but I'm honestly nitpicking. This place is real good, one of the top BBQ spots in MA definitely south shore. I highly recommend.

Service was excellent (order confirmation and delivery) and at a party of 80 people everyone raved about the food & flavor. Bonus were the multiple sauces that came along with the order. Two partygoers then booked for their own events. Thanks so much!

Iv given this place a few try's throughout the years and the only consistency they've had is their underwhelming, overpriced BBQ. The homemade sides taste like they're being served out of an elementary schools home economics class. I really want them to succeed but FIGURE IT OUT!!!

I stopped into the store on RT28 in Middleboro. It's in the back corner of a little convenience store.Don't let that stop you. This place is the real deal. I bought the pulled pork, pulled chicken and a rack of ribs to get the full experience. All three hit the mark. Very tasty, the dry rub on the ribs is great, the meat just pulls right off the bone. Also the pork and chicken had that nice charred flavor all over it. They have corn bread and other sides as well as a bunch of really good sauces to go along with the food. The staff was easy to talk to and very helpful. I think that's the best part. So if you're looking for good BBQ on this side of town look no further.

I ordered take out from this restaurant. The staff was nice, it has the typical kind of BBQ aesthetic and vibes, but the food was great. I made my own platter got the Mac and cheese burnt ends and collard greens with corned bread and honey butter. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING was bad on that plate. If you've had a lot of bbq from the south( which I have had alot of.) it's not down south good but it is the best bbq I have had in mass since moving here. Very close second and is well Worth the trip trust me! This has become one of my go to places for takeout.

Went to this place because it was the nearest that had some gluten free options. Got the pulled pork platter with cowboy beans and slaw to go. The platter also included corn bread. The woman on the phone quoted 40 minutes which seemed like a long time but it was lunch time so oh well. The sides were large - looked like 1/4lb tubs. I enjoyed the beans. The slaw was okay, just not my style which is fine- I know slaw can taste a variety of ways so it's always a gamble. The beans were good. The cornbread was quite average. The package of it pulled the sweet top off the bread. The real disappointment was the portion of meat. The meat came in a large container with pickles and pickled onions all mixed together. There just wasn't much meat for the price. The flavor didn't have much smokiness though the meat was cooked well.

Wow this is great BBQ. My sister and I went to the Marshfield Fair and they were there selling food. We got the brisket Rangoon's with duck sauce and they were phenomenal! So good we literally drove and hour the next day to come the actual restaurant! I got the pork platter and my sister got the phat boy bowl with pulled chicken and a side of hush puppies. The meat was so tasty and the Mac and cheese was the perfect side! The hush puppies were out of this world especially with the whipped honey cinnamon butter. The corn bread was also so moist and delicious and came with cinnamon butter or a whipped bacon butter ( we got both!) They had homemade sweet tea which honestly had a different taste..maybe honey? Regardless it was wicked good! The staff were super friendly and service was quick! Will definitely be back soon!!

Love Love, this food, burnt ribs, cornbread, and loaded smashed potatoes were scrumptious! I highly recommend! Sorry I didn't take a picture, I was too involved in eating, maybe next time if I can refrain from eating it right away. I have eaten at other barbecue places but their sides weren't as good as the SarcasticSwine. This place has it all, am definitely a fan!

It was ok, very pricey. The ribs were over cooked, but I will try it once more, the BBQ chicken was ok , the hush puppies were good.

TLTR: HAIRS IN FOOD. NO RESPONSE FROM MANAGEMENT AFTER COMPLAINT. A first takeout order missed one item but the BBQ was very good. Second takeout order was complete but I pulled a long human hair out of the brisket dish. I powered through not to want to ruin the entire dinner for all table guests but at the end of the meal I pulled another long hair out of my mouth from the buffalo wings . I emailed the company via their website to make management aware of the employees working that day to give them a chance to correct their hygiene practices and maybe send me an apology. I never received an answer so I assume they don't care. Now I will not come back here. I give two stars and not just one because they have huge potential if they would take hygiene and customer service more serious.

This place is ok. A little too salty for me but many people I've spoken to really like it. Service is excellent.

Living south of Boston, the BBQ choices are slim pickins. Yelp reccomended "the Swine" and it wasn't too much of a drive from my house, so we decided to give it a try. Called ahead..put on hold for 5 minutes, which isn't a great start. Anyway, we ordered the sampler (4 meats, 2 sides, cornbread and cinnamon honey butter). We also ordered an extra side of Collards. When we arrived, there was only a two-top in the seating area and no one waiting to pick up so we were confused why it would be 20-30 minutes from calling to pick up. Odd but moving on...Our bag o food comes with as many bbq sauces as we'd like (and they have about 8 to choose from!). Now on to the food review... Meats: all 4 great flavor, good smoke (note meat is sauceless, add what you like). Sauces: Carolina-very vinagary just OK, Hickory- Standard BBQ Sauce, good flavor but nothing to write to mom about, Chuck-Creamy lightly tangy and unique..this one is a keeper Sides: All of them are overly salty IMHO. Mac/Chz-good smoke flavor but the sauce was broken and the whole thing was cold. Collards-good flavors, a little spicy, didn't pick out the big ribs so not great. Hush Puppies: Good flavor and texture. Corn Bread: Great!! Cinnamon Honey Butter: Broken and too salty by just a tad. Overall: Good, but not great BBQ. Just get meat, do your own sides.

I like this place. I'm glad it's soo close to my house. Not only is the food fantastic, but they do a lot to help and give back in the community. My husband and I have ordered several things from here and the portion sizes are HUGE(for 2 people). My favorites are the mac and cow sandwich, hush puppies, wings and cornbread. I also love that they have several different dipping sauces you can take home with you. The mac and cow sandwich is so rich and stuffed with meat & mac that I was full after one half! We had so many wings left over (huge portion size) that we threw them on the grill and had them for lunch the next day and they were still just as delicious as when we ordered them. I would suggest giving this place a try when you're really, really hungry!

Got smoked wings and the Turkey BLT. Both were great. Added their sadistic swine sauce to the BLT and it gave it the kick it needed. Would definitely go back, prices were a bit high though.
