Mitchell Hebert: This scam joint charges you a 3% kitchen fee without telling you. Do not support places like this under any circumstances. Tell me up front so I can walk out before spending a dime.
Sabrina Arguello: As a fellow southerner, this place tasted pretty good. It brought me back home through the atmosphere and community like feel. Only complaint was a bit of a dry brisket but overall satisfied with the meal! Also, excellent whiskey selection! This restaurant may have had the largest whiskey selection I have seen in Cambridge!Parking: Decent street parking near the area!
Will McGovern: Pulled Pork Sandwich was great and great service
J. Palmer: Today I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich with fries and let me tell you the bread was soggy, The chicken had no flavor and barely any sauce. For pulled chicken i had one massive piece of chicken nothing pulled about it. I also ordered the Sticky Ribs which must have stuck to the counter because it never came with my order. I thought that the Mississippi Mud would have been a great finishing touch as well. Boy oh boy was i wrong. And why the hell was spicy peanuts added to the Mississippi Mud I have no idea but I threw the whole order in the trash. I will never order from here again to spend over $50 dollars and not get the correct food. Or some food with some flavor is a big disappointment. This is not the place for BBQ just stay home and save your money or order a pizza either way don't make the same mistake i did... NEVER AGAIN

Kevin Barhydt: Well, if y'all love meat, this is the best place in town! We loved every bite. Soooooo much food, and incredibly fast service.I'm gluten free and the menu is extremely helpful (ask for the allergy menu - it's great!)We had fun, and will return again and again.5 enthusiastic stars✨✨✨✨✨
Hassan Chehab: Came back here for the wings and they were amazing. Probably the best wings I've had in recent memory. Plus the cornbread? Absolutely killer.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
cat: I knew this is a slopy bbq place when I saw there isn't even collar greens on the menu. Came here years ago thought it was mediocre but now it is beyond bad.We ordered many different items and everything tasted very dry, besides the brussel spouts that are completely soaked in oil. Ribs, fried chicken, turkey breast, mac n cheese, toast, etc. are tasteless and dry. Sides are all premade and super sloppy.Service was extremely slow and had very bad attitude. Parking is always hard to find.
KaLe E: Got delivery from DoorDash (I think from this location).Ordered the Pit Boss, came with:+ 3 choices of meats+ 3 choices of sidesThere were too many choices to choose from, but we got: burnt ends, ribs, brisket, mac & cheese, cornbread, brussel sprouts.Freaking delicious, but not so great for the waist. A bit pricey, but I don't have time to slave in the kitchen - so this works. Thank goodness Door Dash delivers.
tracey young: Food: 3/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5More
Jerry Kampler: Took a class with a friend who doesn’t bbq much and had a blast. Bourbon ribs and wings how can you loose? Wings and ribs can’t be beat.Don’t forget the best cornbread there is.
Daniel Bergen: Does this look burnt to you? It looks burnt to me. And that's a $6 piece of cake? I zoomed too close, it was at most 3x3.

Green Street: what do users think?
Jason Williams: Great
Doug F: I came here with 3 friends before the dinner rush for drinks and apps and we had a great time! Waitstaff were friendly and the atmosphere was very comfortable, yet refined. Happy to find this little gem off the more well-trodden paths around Central Sq.
RJ Hanrahan: Good food, good drinks. The bar tender Ryan was helpful and friendly.
Jennifer Fuentes (Jenn): My friend and I sat at the bar and were charged together without asking. When I asked the person behind the counter that was helping the 2 bartenders to charge my friend for 2 of the drinks and charge me for the rest he said he could only split the bill which made no sense to me because we were at the bar and shouldn't have been charged together without asking anyway. Then the guy wouldn't walk away until I gave him my card and was being rude, it made us uncomfortable, turning what was a good night there into a not so good night. The service and food are usually pretty good when I go there.
Andrew Galante (Andrew): Food is great, cocktails are solid and rhe service is on point.
Zorz B: The side salad wasn't fresh and the glasses weren't clean.
Paul Kirrane: Fantastic craft cocktails
HUGO ARTEAGA: Muy buena atención y el menú es delicioso

The Smoke Shop BBQ - Harvard Square: what do users think?
Rochelle Jacks: I had the most delicious fish dinner. Everything was cooked to perfection. I will be coming back and bringing the kids 😋

蕭千惠: 因為上限是五顆星所以才給五顆星,這家店真的是我美國吃過這麼多店以來最喜歡的一家,又便宜又好吃,真不愧是 Best of Boston 2022。服務員的態度真的超級好,可以感受到他推薦食物都很真心,是真的喜歡這些食物。我們三個人因為不太餓所以只點一個主餐一個前菜也沒有感受到任何服務員的不開心,這點超棒的。The smoked Shop BBQ & Hot wings 很辣,我覺得我很能吃辣但還是覺得這很辣,但辣得很爽。PIT Boss 可以選三種肉超級划算,適合什麼的想體驗食量又不大的人,我們選了三個meats選了Pork rib, Burnt ends 跟 Turkey breast,三個side 選Zucchini salad, Brussels sprouts 跟 Visalia onion mashed potatoPork rib 的調味甜甜的,骨邊肉很香;Burnt end 是烤的牛腩肉,外脆內嫩;Turkey breast 打破了我以為火雞肉都很柴的印象,超級無敵嫩的,超好吃!Side dish也都超好吃,店員推薦的smash potato 很綿密,有奶油香,香華順口。Brussels sprouts 的調味也超讚,有炒過醬汁鹹香,口味很台式。
Dominic Barabe: Meuilleur bouffe de la région...

boom: Great service and great food. Wings are super good and sweet.
Libby Tower: I was surprised by how great this place was! Got the burnt ends and brisket with Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese, I preferred the brisket (burnt ends were a little too saucy) but the entire thing was delicious. The sides were shockingly good, they didn't need to slap so hard but they put in some work. I didn't love was the bbq sauces, needed more heat or vinegar (all three were pretty similar) but the meat was still delicious without extra sauce. I also wish they had more cocktails without whiskey/bourbon.
Michael Cerqueira: Good and decent food at Harvard Square. Reasonable priced. Waiters just need to pay more attention to its costumers, as last time I had to wait a lot of time to get anything even with the restaurant empty
Charles Rudd: Really delicious brisket, beans, coleslaw, and corn bread! Very good service and a very nice atmosphere.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes The Cornbread …More

Katie Mc: The pimento mac and cheese was amazing. I was surprised with how dry the wings were. I might have caught them on a bad night. Tbd
Grace: This was the pulled pork plate and it was delicious!! Fell apart like butter and was just so juicy and flavorful. The pickles are sweat/sour bread and butter pickles not dill. Fries were fresh/warm and the watermelon was fresh.

Deb Thrun: We had a large private event here and the space was perfect! They have a catering coordinator that does it all! The food was outstanding (ample buffet to feed 75 people), the cocktails were so fun (as were the bartenders) and the staff was so friendly and helpful. To be able to feed 75 people incredible food is no small accomplishment!I would recommend this place over and over again. Prior to our event we had dined here numerous times and it is consistently fantastic on every level! Bravo!!!!

Redbones Barbecue: what do users think?
Beau Cote: Let me start off by saying the food is 10/10. No better BBQ around. We’ve always done take out but this was our first time dining in. Not the “nicest” style restaurant but honestly it got the job done. We stayed upstairs so I can’t speak for what downstairs was like (seems like a totally different vibe). Aside from immediately passing out afterwords, we loved coming here.
Niko Machowinski: Had redbones on a food truck super tasty I had pork and fries I highly recommend but I don’t know how the actual restaurant is though.Food: 5/5Recommended dishes Pulled Pork, Fries …More
carmen mario: Definitely not home cooking Mac cheese basic collard greens unflavored Cole slaw just tasted like mayo pulled chicken not pulled chicken brisket only reason I gave food 1 starFood: 1/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 4/5Recommended dishes Mac & Cheese with Sliced Brisket …More
Katherine: Good service, beyond your tastebuds food. 10/10 we eat here all the time !Recommended dishes Pulled Pork, Mac & Cheese with Sliced Brisket, BBQ Sauce, Coleslaw …More
Kimberly H: Everything was delicious, and they give a good amount of pulled pork for the price. Definitely looking forward to my next BBQ day!
Logan Campagna: Best ribs of my life so far. Great service, awesome atmosphere, overall 5 star barbecue experience.
Dylan Sidd: The best barbecue, my all-time favorite place to eatRecommended dishes BBQ Sauce, Brisket Sandwich, Coleslaw, St Louis Ribs …More
david oregan: Who cares about atmosphere with food this good?Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishes Pulled Pork, Mac & Cheese with Sliced Brisket …More
Winnie Allen: They gave me all burnt ends and refused to refund me.
Kerry Vann: Delicious BBQ meats and authentic a good place to grab some BBQ food.
Sandra Kane: Beyond disappointed with the food at this place. I was expecting much better. Mac and cheese was made with cheap fake cheese sauce and tasted like chemicals. Meat was ok but dry - the one saving grace was the sauce. Beignets were hard, dry, and old and had clearly been sitting around all day - I don't know how they get away with charging $7.50 for a portion. I've had school cafeteria meals that were better than this and I don't know how this place has such good reviews. I would give 0 stars if I could.
pamela ezekiel: This was in Somerville. One of the best ribs and brisket I've found so far coming from Philadelphia, ribs are one of my favorites. Date night with my husband. The whole experience was great. By the time we got out of there, we paid over $200.00. well worth it. Proportions were great as well as our waiter, he was so great.Parking: We did get to park in front of the restaurant. We were lucky. We gotten there around 7:30-8 p.m.After circling around a few times.The food and staff made it worth it.
Taylor Sansevero: ALWAYS hits the spot when I’m looking for BBQ in the greater Boston area
David Edwards: Every piece of meat tastes the same. Like the chicken tastes like the pork tastes like the beef. Same flavor. All the sides were very spare. Used to be a place of value, and now not. Better bbq in the Boston area…. The love is gone
bob bowser: I have loved Redbones for decades, but I rarely go these days as I live quite a distance away.Today, I visited after a long absence to find the place on it knees. The bar was empty, over lite, decorations removed, no one present, no server, and the beer selection has been cut in a third. No wonderful regulars, fun bartenders, quirky decor, just an empty room that resembles the old place.Next, I checked the menu and the prices have doubled. Finally a server got off her phone and took my order in a lackluster fashion. The delivered food was subpar and delivered without fanfare in a Styrofoam container with plastic utensils. Eventually, I had to hunt down the uninterested server to pay.This, once wonderful place, seems to be on hospice wait, for it’s eventually demise. Sad to see such an iconic place, that revitalized Davis square, on its death bed. What happened to this place?
Evan Otero: Best BBQ around town but the prices aren’t for the feint of heart.
brianlidawg: This place is so tasty! For being in Mass the taste is very good, and I'm from Texas so I have been around to a few bbq joints in my day. The atmosphere feels like im back in Texas too with the painted walls and I even spotted a lone star beer there. Incredible. 10/10 would recommend!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Mac & Cheese with Sliced Brisket …More
Carolyn Ma: Recommended dishes Mac & Cheese with Sliced BrisketMore
Ben P: Unfortunately this place has gone downhill. The brisket was great, burnt ends “eh”, the wings were lukewarm / cold, and the service…the guy was nice, but the service was not good. We arrived, 2 / 10 tables were open, we’re told a 15 min wait, the hostess said we could hang at the bar, but she forgot about us. Once we were seated & served, our waiter basically never came back except for the bill.
Hlöðver Ellertsson: I love it ... to the bone 😉Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Mediterranean Grill: what do users think?
saurav uprety: Food was good but the lady at the counter was very rude. She said to my face that cannot dine in inside just because I ordered a takeout. This is not how one should treat your customer.
Tony Salehi: $$Another fantastic night at Mediteranian Grill in Cambridge.The food was awesome, as usual. Highly recommend it for persian cuisine. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Sarah O'Connor: Delicious food! Chicken kebabs are super moist and rice is very flavorful. Highly recommend.
Lana Cohen: Ordered delivery for first time, had chicken shawarmas, fattoush salad and the rice with lentils. Everything was so delicious, chicken was perfectly cooked, not dry at all. So delicious, we’ll be ordering again!

d bitounis: Overpriced, bland. Restaurants like these disappoint people who try to escape from the usual burger-pizza-sandwich rut. Avoid. Delivery was slow and extremely expensive, but that's not their fault.
sultan ahsan: Food was great
Abdurahman Farah: Nice food
B R (BAR): The staff was very nice. The food is amazing as usual. This was my first time eating in house. Will definitely come back.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More
Rain K: I love Persian food and I have so many reasons to love this restaurant. Hear me out as I explain as a non-Persian diner (1) Their Ash reshteh, which is hard to come by, is yummy, comforting and very filling. (2) All of the kebabs and the meat are flavourful. Even something simple as a grilled chicken is beautifully seasoned. (3) They offer freshly brewed black tea and it’s delicious!!! Do yourself a favour and order it after your meal. (4) There’s Persian ice cream on the menu it’s delightful especially because of the rose & saffron flavour. Lots of pistachios on the outside & inside add texture. (5) There’s tahdig in the appetizer section. (6) Their baklava is fresh and crispy properly made with pistachios (not walnut!)
Dawn Auron: Food quality price amazing they listened they I asked do no lettuce with my spinach pies. The only thing my I asked for extra napkins and didn't even get 1. This is my only issue if any!Vegetarian options: Food is so good !and they are nice people
shah sarwari: The Server she was nice and friendlyI give 4 star because of her serviceI ordered Qormeh Sabzi it test not good (test like gas) seemed old.i can't eat it. I definitely suggest them to improve the quality of their food. 😐
Padma Kandadai: Yummy food! We love itVegetarian options: Mediterranean food has great veg options.
إبراهيم خطاب: It never disappoints! Tastiness, juiciness, portions, everything. Very consistent quality.Dietary restrictions: All meats are Halal.
Michael Higgins: Food: 5/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 4/5More
Harold Oshima: Great kebabs!
Schuyler Bailar: Fresh and flavorful Persian grilled food! The salmon kabob had a nice sear. The borani (spinach, garlic, and yogurt) was creamy and delicious. The people were kind! The people were kind and the service was quick. Great casual spot for eat in or take out. We will be back!
