    fried chicken sandwich + mac n cheese
    Em B.

    party of 4 came here and i am so glad we did! i'm not the biggest burger or bbq fan, so i was hesitant to try, however i was persuaded that local burgy is one of the best local food trucks/trailers. it took awhile for our food to be ready, but they were extremely packed (no available tables) and a long line. once we received our food, i get why the wait was so long. i ordered the fried chicken sandwich topped with herb mayo and mac n cheese. the chicken sandwich was delicious and the perfect texture, and the mac was perfect! my friend got the brisket mac which was even better! the thai chili chicken bites were lacking in flavor and could have used a bit more spice, and the williamsburger was great. the star of the show though was the bbq brisket cheese curds fries.

    Pork and Brisket Combo Plate

    Back again, and still loving this place. I've never been disappointed, and really can't complain that the prices have gone up a bit. I love bbq and have tried many places around western/central mass. Nothing compares; the sauce makes the difference. They're all good!

    5 star food from Local Burgy as usual and 5 stars to the server. 0 stars to the guy in blue with a blue headband and the guy in black with the blue headband for berating the server and swearing at her while I was standing at the menu. There is nothing she could have done to deserve a reaction like that. Absolute 0 for professionalism and I'll be skipping this place from now on.

    Pulled Pork

    First off I'm a BBQ critic and this was my first time here. I've heard amazing good things about their burgers but as much as I wanted one, had to stick to my deal and try their BBQ stuff. Got their 3 meat Combo, Brisket-Ribs-Pulled Pork w/ Baked Beans, Mac and Cheese, Cajun Corn and Cole Slaw. In a nutshell some things were excellent and some were just pretty good. Good portion of food though. Ice cream sold at the little garden center right there but they only take cash. Brisket is super tender! Perfect type of texture for me, very juicy, I know not everyone likes that style but hey. But slathered in sauce and not much flavor to the actual meat. So unfortunately it loses a lot of points there. Pulled Pork. Slathered again, booo. Didn't even have the option of no sauce because it's one of dem slow cooker in a sauce type deals. Which is all good and fine for most people but I just find it offensive to slather any meat with any sauce unless it NEEDS it, but you need to be the judge of that every time. Pork was shredded very well though, not too much fat. And the fact that they went with a honey mustard flavor instead of a regular BBQ sauce ... 10 points! good job. Ribs were HOT and very flat. Not a lot of meat on the bone but usually that means the meat has more flavor. Smoked Almost Perfectly! Not too much Redness, Not Too much Rub but a Great Rub! Meat doesn't fall off the bone too easily which is also a great sign of good Ribs. But SLATHERED AGAIN! Fortunately they didn't slather all the ribs so I was able to eat me some good meat without the sauce. Not to say the sauce was bad either, it was fine. Baked Beans had kind of a Habanero element to them. Orangey zing, can't really put my finger on the spice but the sauce was almost like a sweet and sour taste but made from actual fruits and veggies, if that makes any sense. Very enjoyable! Cajun Corn! Very Surprising! I Likey. Garlicky! Kind of reminds me of a sea food type side dish Cole Slaw is SUPER shredded, barley looked like Cole slaw. All white, typical Cole slaw taste, almost looked like Snow. Some corn bread too but nothing even worth remembering. Mac and Cheese looked Awesome! Tasted ....... Okay. White Cheddar goo and black pepper. It was still good but I'm hunting for some real good stuff here. You'll probably like it.

    A large and delicious lobster roll with fries for $20? That's hard to beat, especially where I'm from in Rhode Island. Topping that off with quick friendly service, plus a nice clean outdoor seating area makes this a place I happy go out of my way to patronize!

    Wonderful little roadside stand. We came at 4:30 on a Monday evening, no waiting. Quick friendly service, nice BBQ menu, good food. I had the pulled pork sandwich, my wife a delicious cheeseburger. We added a side of fries and we were good to go. All served quickly and hot. That being said, this is not unlike any other roadside stand, good food but nothing extraordinary. A little noisy thru no fault of theirs but it is a roadside stand. Stop on by...

    Growing up in Texas, barbecue isn't just something you eat, it's part of who you are. I've spent a…read morelifetime standing in line at legendary smokehouses, watching pitmasters tend post oak fires through the night, and judging brisket by its bark before I ever take the first bite. So, I'll admit, I approached a barbecue restaurant north of the Mason-Dixon Line with equal parts curiosity and skepticism. What first caught my eye at Wildwood Barbeque was the stack of firewood out back. That always gets a Texan's attention. I never spotted a traditional offset smoker, though. Walking through the front door, I picked up the unmistakable aroma of hickory, and maybe a touch of apple smoke, which immediately put my senses on high alert. A glance toward the kitchen revealed one of those modern hybrid smoker ovens. Purists may debate them, but at the end of the day the food is what matters. One look at the menu made it clear Wildwood isn't trying to be a bare-bones barbecue joint. It's a full-fledged Southern restaurant serving burgers, po'boys, salads, sandwiches, Cajun favorites, comfort food, and smoked meats. Before I even ordered, though, my eyes wandered to the dessert case where the cake slices looked big enough to have their own ZIP code. Around Texas, we'd simply say they're as big as a county. I kicked things off with an order of burnt ends before settling on the sweet tea-brined smoked chicken. The burnt ends arrived carrying a wonderful kiss of hardwood smoke and what tasted like a light coating of barbecue sauce. They were cut into small cubes, and while several pieces were tender and flavorful, others received too much time in the pit. The smoked chicken, however, was the star of the meal. Every bite carried the subtle sweetness of the tea brine, balanced by a well-seasoned rub that finished with just enough spice to keep things interesting. It was juicy, smoky, and thoughtfully prepared. The lone disappointment was the potato salad. As someone who's eaten just about every version served from Texas smokehouses, from mustard-based Hill Country recipes to creamy East Texas family traditions, I honestly couldn't figure out what this one was trying to be. It lacked the character and comforting simplicity that make potato salad the perfect barbecue side. Wildwood may not transport you to Lockhart, Lexington, or Taylor, but it doesn't have to. It carves out its own identity by blending Southern cooking with smoked meats, and the chicken alone is worth coming back for. Just save room for one of those Texas-sized slices of cake.

Lobster was tender and flavorful with not an over abundant amount of mayo just the tiniest bit to hold everything together and it was tender, flavorful, and overall delicious.

We walked up to a casual outdoor seating area with picnic tables set alongside the road, giving it the laid back atmosphere of a New England seafood shack where the focus is entirely on generous portions and classic seafood favorites rather than anything overly polished. The setup is simple and relaxed, making it an easy stop for a casual lunch or dinner during the warmer months. The lobster roll is the clear highlight here. The portion was surprisingly large for the price, packed generously and substantial enough to feel like a full meal on its own. The lobster was the star of the sandwich, and the overall value stood out given how expensive lobster rolls have become across Massachusetts. We also ordered the fish and chips, which came with an equally generous portion size, though the fish was a little drier than expected. While it was still satisfying, it lacked some of the moisture and flakiness that would have made it more memorable. What stands out most is the portion to price ratio. Nearly everything coming out of the kitchen is oversized, which helps explain why the restaurant has built such a strong reputation as a destination for seafood in the area. The food leans toward hearty and filling rather than refined, and the experience works best when you arrive hungry and ready for a substantial meal. Service moved efficiently despite the steady crowds, and the casual outdoor setting kept the experience relaxed. For anyone looking for a classic roadside seafood stop in Western Massachusetts, Captain Jack's delivers generous portions, solid seafood, and a lobster roll that easily justifies the visit.

    We decided to try this place one day for dinner since it changed hands into a 'Jamaican'…read morerestaurant a couple years ago. Formerly The Lantern, still a bar vibe/a bit dark inside. We both got the jerk chicken with greens. While we finished our dinner and it tasted good; I have several specific impressions and suggestions for improvement. First of all, both of our dinners could have arrived much hotter. They were more like "well warmed" in a microwave than truly hot- so I assume that's how they typically do it there. We were hungry enough not to send it back to be 'heated up' more -but they should be aware of how hot their food should be when presented to customers. Second, we love Jamaican food- goat curry/jerk chicken/oxtails, greens, etc. This chicken was seasoned + tasty; but the chicken honestly tasted like BBQ chicken much more than the jerk chicken I've had in any other restaurants. Finally- and in the end this was the worst issue, the gal who was our waitress either had never done a waitress job before, or was so poorly trained at this establishment that she literally had no idea what she should be doing/noticing/taking care of. At various points, this was frustrating (she didn't check on us at all), didn't seem to know if we needed more water/napkin,etc. mainly because she just didn't walk by the table/or stand back keeping a watchful eye on her table. At certain points, I heard her boss talking to her and telling her what to do next- but clearly she didn't even have a basic concept of what she was supposed to be doing. I waited tables a lot thru college and eventually I felt sorry for her lack of training in a job where you clearly represent the business. But, we were the only people in there for dinner, only 1 person drinking in the bar besides us. It was just unacceptable. We won't return-but would love to find good Jamaican food somewhere in the region. PS It was several months ago when we ate there, hopefully staff is consistently better trained now.
