We went to Sweet Cheeks BBQ for our anniversary and woah was that a mistake. I'm telling you now this place is a tourist trap. The staff was friendly and kind, this isn't about them. This is about their food, I had their 3 meat combo with burnt ends, ribs and sausage. The biscuits were the best thing there. If you're going here just get a bucket of biscuits. First, the ribs had no bark, no seasoning and no smoke flavor. The sausage was tasteless, it didn't taste of spices or pork, and the burnt ends were hard. My husband pulled pork, pork belly, and brisket. The pulled pork was okay, it wasn't amazing, it was better than all the other meats we had. The pork belly lacked the gelatinous fat that is a hallmark of pork belly, it also had less flavor than that pre cooked pork belly you get at Trader Joe's. The brisket was dry and lacked bark. They describe themselves as Texas BBQ but I can tell you that the state of Texas would not want to be associated with this overpriced facsimile. The sides were okay, but none of them could make up for the disappointing meat.If you're in the area, go to Loretta's instead.

Possibly the best biscuits I've had to go with excellent brisket and pulled chicken and the biggest chicken tenders around. All the meat was flavorful, tender and juicy and the tenders were perfectly fried to a crisp, rich exterior. And can't leave out the broccoli and cheese with crushed Ritz crackers (in a separate container to keep them crunchy).

Feb. 2024 had the half chicken with sides and it was terrible. Dry, tough, impossible to eat on the dinky metal tray. Major disappointment. Maybe other food is better but the chicken was terrible, collard greens over salty. And $13 for a draft beer that did not appear to be a full pint.

The biscuits with the honey butter was great! We got brisket and pulled pork. Both were tender and there was plenty to eat. The beans and broccoli cassarole were favorites of ours. The mac was good too. The potato salad was good as well, but it was too much after eating it a bit.I would definitely return!

Delicious barbeque in the Fenway neighborhood. My wife was very excited to try this as it's run by a former Top Chef contestant. The food quality definitely lived up to our expectations. However, being a BBQ restaurant it would not price most people out of a meal. I highly recommend this place if you like BBQ. I hope to come back the next time I'm in Boston.

I have been here before with coworkers for dinner and loved it, so wanted to try takeout.I ordered Friday pulled pork sandwhich and side deal they offer online and was very happy with my meal.The food tasted great, the sandwich is on a toasted bun and generous amount of flavorful tender pork, plus the side of potato salad. It was almost too much for a lunch. It came with pickles and sauces too.My only issue was that no one was manning the pickup counter so I had to walk into main restaurant to find a server. But otherwise they were very friendly and helpful.Great value for the money, and a good Friday lunch option in Fenway

Delicious! Everything we ordered was phenomenal. You have got to try the honey butter with the biscuits. All of the choices of sides are amazing, and the best choice of meat is the chopped brisket. But all was amazing! ?
We decided to visit on our last day, simply because it was close to our apartment. It was one of the best decisions while staying in Boston.Sophia was a very friendly and welcoming host, and I really appreciated her recommendations.You absolutely have to try their buttermilk biscuits. We call them scones in the UK, and those are superb by any UK standard. They can serve them with afternoon tea for all I care.We then tried their pork and brisket combo. Both were absolutely fantastic, and with the sides, the portion was big enough for the two of us.If you still have some space left, have a dessert to share. We tried the pudding, which is served in a jar, like everything else. Adds to the atmosphere.

Good selection of BBQ/Smoker dishes and sides. Everything we had was great! We had brisket, pulled chicken, ribs, coleslaw, beans, broccoli cheese casserole - awesome!. Service was metal pans with that brown wax paper stuff and the drinks were in jars, so just be prepared for that. We made reservations since we were going before a baseball game. I would recommend coming here for some great BBQ/Smoked food!
