Used to come here weekly, over a decade ago because it was so good and they were friendly. Not sure what happened but the only thing that's the same about this restaurant, is the look inside. I ordered cheese fries as always do & they were soggy and the cheese wasn't melted. Ordered two slices of pepperoni pizza and it's like they didn't finish cooking the pizza either. Chicken cutlet sub was okay, but most of the chicken pieces were too hard to bite with sub. Woman who answered phone didn't seem interested in taking orders. Don't think I'll be back.

RIB DINNER BEST IN BOSTON I GUARANTEE.

Hey people if you believe in me and my absolute great taste for comfort foods of all cultires you will take my word and forget about all that slow and low (and tasteless crap) BBQ ribs and come here to Billy's in the heart of Historic Codman Square in Dorchester. They have the tastiest, hugest BBQ Spare Ribs here charred to perfection then slatjered in awesome BBQ Sauce tjhese are not dainty St Louis Style Ribs but some funky ol old style ribs where they leave the fatty knob on St Louis Ribs for a propper Spare Rib Experience. When you order Billy Himself might be there he's been in the Business over 30 years and is a great person Order The Rib Dinner Plate it Brings five huge center cut ribs and two sides from a big variety I usually get Collard Greens and Rice Pilaf. Thank me later and them José sent you (Chris's friend).

My favorite reliable restaurant in the neighborhood. The food is freshly made and you can taste it. The couple behind the counter are friendly and personable whether I call them on the phone or pop by for a pickup. The onion rings are a must. They are the best I have ever tasted with just ketchup. You can actually taste the sweet onions. Check out the wings. Not prepackaged. Taste good plain, BBQ or with buffalo sauce. Fries are crisp and non-greasy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also love the saucy BBQ ribs, sweet potatoes and collard greens. Will try the burgers and fish & chips next. Call in your order, stop by and pick it up or have it delivered. Check out their 10 specials.

My go-to for a no frills grilled chicken salad or fried (cod) fish sandwich. Don't get fancy here or risk being disappointed.

Excellent barbecue in Boston . This visit was another visit…read morefor bbq and consistent with my prior visits. Great beer selection and highest one's own draft. The Robot crusher IPA, widow maker IPA were successful selection among my local brewers... night shift for one. Meal combos could be a bit more extensive. Meat and two was a single meat and two sides. I ordered this with ribs, Mac and cheese, beans. It comes with bread, pickles, pickled onions. I needed my smoked turkey , smoked brisket as I've had here, so can order a 1/4 or 1/2 lb of each. I ordered a 1/4 lb of each knowing leftover was to be the lunch sandwich tomorrow. Well, the beans were fantastic with chucks of brisket mixed in... best beans I've had at all the bbq places in Massachusetts and beyond . Mac and cheese very good, but I needed a multi cheese cork screw pasta blend like another spot ... excellent Mac and cheese still The ribs in the meat combo order were a hefty portion and meat fall off bones, perfect smoke, not salty meat... excellent. The 1/4 brisket was fall apart tender; excellent flavor, not dry, nice smoke flavor, not fatty and maybe a bit more fat maybe how others like. Excellent brisket and remains went into my baked beans cup for lunch tomorrow. Smoked turkey was tender, excellent flavors and I only order the smoked turkey here as other places serve it too dry... this was real deal . Choices of 3-4 bbq sauces, I plated all 4 and mixed, and used all four... I would have liked a far different one to provide a greater range ... a berry based sauce I had elsewhere would be the bomb on this turkey . Bread I would like to see replaced with a slice cornbread cinnamon buttered, pickled onions I don't need, pickles ok but a slaw cumber mix instead would be better ... Nice vibes with pickle ball courts, families, private parties here. Brews and Que all great here... the smoked wings look great and tough to order those and pass on a turkey or brisket side order... My only complaint is the ridiculously uncomfortable bar chairs... you need a chiropractor after sitting too long... doesn't promote people wanting to stay long... change these out ... few hundred bucks for padded seats with a comfortable arch and back... Firefly's bbq in Marlborough had best comfort vat seats in Massachusetts... send the manager up there to try one on his buttocks vs. this metal basement stool type from IKEA discount furniture.

Went to Pig Beach BBQ not realizing it was also a place to play pickleball & host game nights…read more No problem. Husband & I stayed & ate at the bar. Wings were really good. Service was friendly. It was fun watching people play pickle ball while we ate.

This was an amazing find of a restaurant on our little trip to Boston. As of many of the other…read morereviews state, the biscuits are a must. They were the dark horse that I never would have thought about ordering normally. Biscuits for dinner? Eh. But they were delicious and lighter than expected and the pimento cheese I could have ate by the spoonfuls. The oysters were clean and delicious. Everything you hope to have from Northeast oysters especially being from Texas where most of the places here serve Gulf oysters that don't even come close to comparing. I could have drank the mignonette. The pimento mac n cheese was on point and flavorful (and again that pimento cheese, yum). The wagyu burgers were so good. The burger was tender and flavorful, the bread was soft and light and slightly sweet, and the onion ring added a great texture to the mix. Think of a amped up western burger. The ambiance was a cool vibe yet a home feel. We were seated quickly but it took awhile for anyone to acknowledge us. Service was good once it started and the food came out quickly. If we ever make it back to Boston, it will definitely be on our list to revisit. Great late dinner spot. Simple foods done right. (Oh, and the drinks were delicious. I wanted to try them all. Mine tasted exactly like an apple pie.)

Hands down, the Best BBQ in Greater Boston. Best of all, it's cheaper than a flight to Texas…read more Place is a garage in Union Square with no seating - it's takeout only. The guy that runs the spot is super passionate about the craft and was kind enough to chat and explain the process. Only caveat is that the brisket sells out fairly early. The sides are very good, don't sleep on them. Between this place, BT's in Sturbridge and Rusty Can in Byfield - the New England *good* Q scene is slowly improving.

They serve up a variety of smoked BBQ meats, including brisket, St. Louis ribs, beef ribs, sausage, pulled pork, pork belly burnt ends, chicken, turkey, and portabella "pulled pork" a vegetarian option. They offer BBQ plates, sandwiches, wraps, chicken wings, chicken tenders, fried foods (fries, okra, pickles), and sides (mac n cheese, candied yams, garlic mashed potatoes, rice, collard greens, BBQ pit beans, potato salad, grilled vegetables, & potato salad). The pricing is moderate. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($16.99 plus hospitality fee and tax) served with choice of side and pickles. Since I parked very close to the food stall, I sat in my vehicle (with flashers) for 5 minutes and quickly retrieved my order. The pulled pork sandwich was a good size with cole slaw, tender sweet BBQ pulled pork on a thick soft egg bun. The pulled pork was mostly lean meat, a bit dry, but it tasted just fine. The potato salad was pretty good, which had firm gold potatoes, chopped red onions, celery, egg, mustard, mayo, and seasonings and dill pickle chips on the side. I enjoyed my food in the vehicle before heading back home. I will have to try some of their other meats and sides on the next visit to Wade BBQ.
