    It's August 2021, how does this place only have 5 reviews. This place is Excellent! Right now they…read moreare still doing the order online and pickup outside. Didn't realize that when I showed up but that's on me for not checking. Also didn't know that the Ribs and Brisket were specials on Thursdays only. So my first time around the only real BBQ that kind of matched what I wanted was a BBQ Sundae which I usually hate. Also the sundae had a choice of a Base and one of those choices was mac and cheese which I got ... but Mac and Cheese wasn't available as just a Side ... I don't know what was going on there. Also the second time I went in they told me that the Ribs were on Special on Thursday And Friday, Brisket was now Everyday, This and that on That Day, But that and This on those two days ... All Im saying that I was told something different than what I read on their online menu, So CALL and ASK! So my BBQ Sundae came in an oversized Chinese Take Out container and it was classic. Slaw and Pickles on top, pickles were awesome! Pulled pork in the middle and Mac on the bots. Pickles were like bread and butter style but had a bit of a fun heat kick to them. Slaw was super colorful and seasoned like crazy, not my favorite slaw personally, a very dilly type of slaw but I can see a lot of other people liking it. It's definitely made well. Pulled pork looked a bit more like burnt ends to me, some parts were tough but most of it was soft and moist and tasted good, good amount of sauce. Really didn't want to eat all the slaw and pork to get to the mac so I tried to brush that stuff away, but the sauce got all over the mac so I had to keep brushing it away till I reached the very bottom. And then I got to the real Mac and it was REALLY REALLY GOOD! Gritty Sauce, Black Pepper Seasoning with Other Great Spices almost like a cool ranch kick to it. It was easily in the top 5 best Mac and Cheese of New England. Second visit I got Ribs, looked incredible, good amount of meat on them, not too slathered in sauce. Meat was just soft enough and still juicy, meat was smoked perfectly so that the flavors of both the smoke and pork were still there. Rub was a tiny bit on the sweeter side, not a crazy amount of the rub, although it looked like there was. Sauce itself was on the sweet side too. Very good ribs Brisket had a great amount of Bark on it, looked a bit dry for me, a bit more like tough jerky parts. At least the bark was that nice black pepper rub taste like any great Brisket Rub is supposed to taste like. Had a part with no bark and it was a bit dry, not that smokey, came with a cup of BBQ sauce but the ribs didn't for some reason. Brisket seemed like it might have been smoking for a bit too long. So much flavor in the bark you have to eat that bark with the beef. "OMG" Grits. These are like cheese infused grits and probably some of the best grits I've ever had too. This was practically a dessert it was so good. I could just say white cheddar and something else with some butter and salt. Whatever the hell they have in them it's legit "OMG" BBQ Beans had a LOT going on. 3 different beans, Bell peppers, Onions, garlic. It was Extremely BBQy, to me I think this stuff belongs on top of something like rice or pulled pork or in a burrito or something. It shouldn't be on it's own, there is just so much flavor it's like a sauce that hasn't had the ingredients blended into a sauce yet. It's very good though, just very powerful on its own. Almost like a fun sweet heat banana pepper going on. Cornbread cube came wrapped in Saran wrap which usually means it was made awhile ago. Couldn't taste any sweetness, nothing special at all but that's okay. Potato Salad. Not overly seasoned, cooked perfectly as they break apart in the mouth super easy, red bliss style, tiny tiny kick, celery and red onion, just great traditional potato salad. Chocolate Ganache. I just got it cause it said it was low in stock. This looked like a twinkie made out of a tougher chocolate mouse. If you are addicted to chocolate you will love this thing. Strawberry or Raspberry sauce all over it, so powerful. Buckeye Brownies ... Good Lord YES! Rich chocolate brownie, Peanut Butter Mouse, Chocolate Ganache fudge top. Yes Yes yes YES! So really my only complaints are the communication on the online ordering, the beans being a bit too powerful but still amazing, and the brisket not meeting my own standards of what extremely good brisket is supposed to be. And on our second visit, Charcoal Charlie was loading up his trailer with food to bring to the Free Movie Night at Fuller Park right down the street. He was a cool dude! Definitely going back, this place might be in the top 10 best BBQ joints in New England.

    We cannot say enough good things about Wheelhouse: They were a joy to work with both in planning…read moreour wedding and the day of. They made our small, unusual venue work well. Their food was incredible. They are so dedicated to local food and so legit in their connection to local farms. They were so on point with in creating a menu for us based on our vague ideas about what it would be. More than all this they were thoughtful, genuine, and generally good people. Not being able to sample the food that was on the menu was a leap of faith on our part, but our confidence in Wheelhouse was rewarded by their incredible food and expert coordination. The Food: We chose Wheelhouse because of their commitment to local food, but for the benefit of everyone else reading our review I'll describe how delicious it was. Bottom line - they won rave reviews from our foodie friends as well as our meat- and- potatoes family. In our experience, wedding catering usually means sad, bland vegetables and dry meat. Not only was their beef juicy and full of flavor, but all of the vegetables tasted so fresh and the flavors of each one came through. Neither of us really like cauliflower, but we LOVED the cauliflower dish they made. For our meat dishes, it was this excellence in produce that really gave an added dimension to the dishes (in addition to cooking the meat just right). AND when they had to bring in an outside vendor (like the pies that we wanted for dessert) they really chose the best around. That being said their initial cheese selection for our appetizers was underwhelming, but they were completely willing to work with us on this and the final version day of was fantastic. Organization/ Logistics: They were by far the most organized vendor at our wedding, despite feeling the most small-scale and personable. Our wedding was very bespoke/ a la carte/ choose your own adventure, and they followed us effortlessly through all of the details, weird requests, and special considerations of our wedding. They never came to us with setbacks or complications. They were really good about checking in, and structured our interactions in the months leading up to the wedding so that we were all on the same page with the many, many details to keep track of. Day-of Logistics: They were so unobtrusive and friendly, despite unpleasant surprises from other vendors. When our rental company failed to deliver some items and put others in odd places, they helped pick up the pieces. When our venue went back on its word as to where they could put their cooking tent they rolled with it. When we decided day-of to hold our photoshoot where they needed to work they were so good about working through it. Personal touches: It's no coincidence that they gave us exactly what we wanted in terms of food. They paid close attention when we told them our preferences were and were genuinely attuned to our likes and dislikes. During the planning process I mentioned how I always go back for seconds at wedding buffets. Based on this aside, they gave me a HUGE platter of food, which we both found to be so touching, special, and funny. Tipping: Their guideline to us was that if we were pleased with the job they did we should tip 10-20%. Not totally unheard of but worth mentioning since different caterers do it differently.

Our guests LOVED the food truck, crew, presentation and especially the food!! The farm fresh dishes were beautiful, creative and delicious- the brisket was to die for! My family is still talking about it. I would definitely use the Wheelhouse Farm team again!

From our first meeting months ahead of time to the days after the wedding closing out with vendors, Magda was so organized and responsive. She is an incredibly effective communicator, we always knew what we needed to be doing when and she responded to every question quickly and concisely. I can't recommend her highly enough. Hiring Magda was the smartest thing we did.

I keep telling people who ask how our wedding went that it was literally like someone took my wedding dream, ripped it out of my head, and threw it in a field. That really isn't an over exaggeration, and it is in such a large part thanks Magdalena and all of her wonderful recommendations. She put us both myself and my husband at such an incredible level of ease throughout the entire process and TURST me, once you go through the wedding process you will understand how incredibly meaningful and important that is. I can confidently say that had she not been on our team, our wedding would not have happened as seamlessly and magically as it did. The day after the wedding everyone was raving about how amazing, helpful, kind she was. I am so lucky to have been given the opportunity to know and work with her and it is an experience I won't soon forget. Her kindness, positive attitude, and work ethic, are so genuine and I hope we have the opportunity to work with her again in the future!
