    Super budget friendly

    My bartender Crystal was awesome. She was busy but didn't make me feel that way. Never felt rushed and gave great menu ideas for a first timer. All of her suggestions were perfection. I wasn't super hungry and have a restrictive diet but she wasn't bothered by my question and request. I got the Swat salad with burnt ends. She said get them soon they always sell out. I can see why!! So tender, awesome bark and smoke. What a perfect match to the swat salad. Cool, crisp, the pungent blue cheese with the sweet balsamic glaze! 10/10! When she came to ask if there was anything else I wanted I honestly replied "a second stomach" so much great food, she gave me a stoli vanilla with water which was on spot to cut the sweet heat!! If you have never been go, if you don't think you like bbq, you do, think it's too messy for date nite, it's now. My pristine white shirt is leaving the same way!

    Southern Porked Mac n Cheese

    Great bbq place with good comfort foods! I always go for the southern porked Mac and cheese. The pulled pork with the Mac and cheese is mouthwatering and pairs very well together. It is a restaurant where I definitely recommend reservations as it is always busy when I dine in. They offer take out as well and a lot of people utilize this service as well. The menu is pretty large and has a lot of comfort foods so there's something for everyone. Service has always been good when I've gone.

    It needs to be updated. It looks like the original furniture. I would give it a complete overhaul. The food deserves a five. I had the beef brisket with two sides. It was more than enough to fill me up. The Cole slaw and cucumber salad were top notch. The sides are always the best. The portion size was huge. I looked at and decided that I had two meals in front of me. I could have had just the sides to satisfy my hunger. My brisket had bark on the outside, smoked to perfection. The pricing was on the high side but it was smoked and the serving size was large. I would give the service a five even though I had to ask for my bill. I was given water and a menu. I was served after twelve minutes.

    All the desserts are super-sized, plenty to share!

    The family loves Firefly's. Delicious ribs, amazing burnt ends and do t skip the candied bacon appetizer! Waitstaff is always giving out good vibes, in the warner weather eating outdoors on the patio is a plus. On weekend nights you can eat in the bar while live music plays, or in the main restaurant with the family.

    I visit from Texas, and also don't eat meat. I'll bring my Texas born husband next time and give you a better review. The staff is really friendly and helpful. It has a sports bar feel. My best friend and I got the veggie burgers. They were Morningstar. They were fine. It was the end of my trip, so Mike, my second best friend, got a salad. It was fine. Fun beverages. Not impressive, but not bad.

    One of the best places around to get some authentic barbecue food they have a really good for me combo and really friendly staff. Summer helped us out and she was amazing at the bar.

    Delicious 3 Meat Combo (3PD)

    Fireflies is a hidden gem in Marlborough, Massachusetts, offering exceptional Southern cuisine that even those from Louisiana and other states with renowned Southern food praise. The ambiance is captivating, featuring live music, excellent service, and amazing food that leaves you happy, excited, and sleepy. My girlfriend loved the food so much that we left a tip exceeding 20% and had me write on the check, "Compliments to the chef!" We left feeling pleasantly tipsy, and she continued to praise the chef until we exited. We are definitely going back. 10 out of 10 dining experience!

    First off, thank you for being open on July 4th! The food was good. We shared the two meat platter, and it was more than enough for us. I will say, the Mac and cheese definitely could've used a lil more seasoning. They have a bbq and hot sauce station, I thought that was cool Nice sized parking lot. Different, size inclusive seating options. Country music playing in the back ground. Also, loved the name

    2 meat combo.  Fried chix and brisket.

    Is the Posto dog friendly?

    The Purple Pig - Ribs

    The Purple Pig

    (39 reviews)

    One of the best BBQ places I've been to happens to be in the middle of Massachusetts. I know, it's…read morecrazy, but hear me out. I've been all over the country looking for great BBQ. I've made a point to get to Franklin BBQ, Lewis BBQ in Charleston, South Carolina, Horn BBQ IN Oakland, CA, or even Matt's BBQ in Portland, OR. I feel like I can actually tell people something about good BBQ, and why it's worth visiting a place over others. The Purple Pig is run by a guy who grew up in Texas and obviously trained under some great pit masters. The place itself is really not much. There are two tables and a little bar to sit at. They have no restroom, which was pretty disappointing. Thankfully, the dispensary next door was very nice to let us use theirs. Anyway, my uncle and my nephew were with me and we were hungry, so we ordered their family dinner for $95. It had a full rack of ribs, a pound of brisket, two huge sausages, three sides and lots of cornbread. I think this is a great deal for the amount of food you get. After ordering the food came out very quickly. The beef brisket was really amazing. The cut he gave us was a perfect mix of fat and meat. The rub he makes is savory a good blend of salt, pepper and onion. It was really tender meat but also still had firmness as well. The pork ribs were perfectly cooked and fell off the bone nicely. I love the rub he makes for the ribs as well. It is both sweet and savory. The sausages were smoky and peppery. There were two sauces and both were Texan style with a tangy tomato base, but one was spicy and the other not. Both excellent! For the sides, the Cowboy Beans were a standout: these were some of the best beans I've had at a BBQ joint. The cornbread was also really good and the Mac and cheese was solid. The coleslaw was the only side that I thought was just pretty average. I hope that was a helpful review of things. They have so many other things to try on their menu, but sadly I won't be back in this area anytime soon. I hope others will venture out and find this place.

    I have food allergies and sensitivities. For me. This means dining out is tricky. This quaint BBQ…read morespot treated me with kindness and consideration. I said that if I have garlic or onion, I get very sick..but i really wanted the chicken fingers (which usually have onion powder in the breading). Without skipping a beat, the chef said that he could absolutely accommodate my allergy and just use plain flour. They were PERFECT Crunchy outside, tender juicy inside and full of flavor. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and cornbread. He adored both. He said the pork was tender and full of flavor. The cornbread was delicious and moist. We will DEFINITELY be coming back
