    Smoked wings
    Gary G.

    Located in the South Shore Plaza, with entrances both inside and outside the mall. Large space with over-the-counter ordering. A pair of J&R smokers in the background and enclosed warming trays in front. According to the meat cutter, the meats for my Sunday lunch came out of the smoker the day before, but sat in the warmer overnight. So not the usual refrigerate-and-reheat, but not fresh out of the smoker either. -- Smoked Wings: A small order of six unsauced pieces had mostly drums and every piece was aggressively rubbed. Each piece had heavy notes of salt and sugar (possibly also from an agave nectar glaze)-- not a huge departure from a typical rub, but takes a little getting-used-to. Skins not crisp, but firm. Interiors slightly moist on the drums and slightly juicy on the flats. Dipping into the house barbecue sauces adds complementary flavors. All things considered, a little above average if you don't mind such dominant salt and sugar, and a deal breaker if you do. -- Sliced Brisket: Had in a 3-meat combo, this came as two length but VERY thin slices-- about the thickness of two slices of deli meat from the supermarket. These had well developed but soft bark that brought black pepper and more heavy duty saltiness. They add a liquid of some kind to keep it moist or get it moist, but whatever they did, it was moist. Very good tenderness and nice beef flavor, though not very smoky and not very fresh. Overall, well above average, but I'd much prefer fresher product without the trickery. -- Pork Ribs: Lengthy spares on the 3-meat combo had bumpy bark full of rub, but without the salt overkill. Moist on the surface, again thanks to an additive, with a steamy quality to the initial interior moistness, but much dryer and chewier after the first few bites. Good flavor, but too old and too dry for my liking. These would be great right out of the smoker without the hocus pocus, but as served, below average. -- Pulled Pork: On the 3-meat combo, the packed mound molded into an igloo shape with a mustard sauce coating didn't give the most appealing visual, but a little fork tossing brought it to respectability. Good bark content, good texture as far as firmness/tenderness (neither stiff nor mushy), but dry aside from the sauce. A little above average. -- Brisket Baked Beans: Soft beans, more savory than sweet, and barely above room temperature. Little strands of brisket added contrast in flavor. Pretty good, but needs to be served hotter. -- Cole Slaw: Crisp, very creamy, very mayoey. Not much flavor, but it was helpful as a respite from the heavy salt of the meats. -- Barbecue Sauces: Two sauces are pumpable into small cups to bring to the table. I found the Noah's BBQ a pleasantly complex mustardy concoction. I thought the Original BBQ was too ketchupy. The meal had a mix of good, not so good, and some potential to possibly be realized on a night visit. But if you're serving Sunday lunch and you're serving what they served me, you're going to get judged on it. I judge it a 3. Additional note: No toilet paper in the men's room. Details matter.

    Man to say this was a disappointment is an understatement! The food was way overpriced! Ribs tasted a day old, brisket was bland and the only thing decent were the burnt ends. Definitely a one and done and will not be coming back. Should of known something was up when this place was empty on a Saturday. Food is not BBQ worthy at all!

    I haven't been inside a functioning mall in years and that's exactly where you can find Noah's BBQ at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree, MA. A very classic central Texas influenced flavor profile. Taking a bite of the brisket I could totally taste a strong oak flavor. With each bite I was more and more sure it was post oak. A super moist flat that I enjoyed more that the point. Still both wonderfully rendered having a smokey bark. Every burp emanated a flavor of smoke in my mouth lol. The ribs were a punch of black pepper with a slightly sweet glaze. Enough to pull back the heat but still fight through. For what I like they were a tad over with how soft the meat was but great flavors nonetheless. A very well done hot link though not spicy. The texture of the grind is something I loved. Ive had too many homogeneous sausages lately and I thoroughly enjoyed these. My favorite bite was the corn bread. The softness and bite was similar to Japanese castella. Spongy and bouncy. With the sweet flavors of corn and honey. Worth a stop if in the area and bonus you can get some shopping done before.

    Texas plate for 2. Brisket (lean/fatty), jalapeño cheddar sausage, ribs, Cole slaw, potato salad, Mac & cheese & collard greens.

    This place is amazing. Would give it 6 stars if we could. I almost turned around when we got there because it's in a mall and it's bbq. I'm so happy I didn't. I'm a 6th generation Texan who moved here 3 years ago and can't ind consistent BBQ. This is my place now. Eric was amazing and we talked a bunch about the wood and places he's been (well traveled) & knows his bbq. They use the same post oak as some of the best bbq places in TX & it shows. Great brisket lean and fatty. Lean going up against Franklins good. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was some of the best we've had. The sides were amazing too (collards, Mac, slaw & potato salad were good. The potato salad needed some salt but it was good). This place is great authentic bbq and we will be back often. Eric also let us try the pork belly even though it wasn't Saturday. Amazing piece of meat.

    Sides - brisket fried rice, Mac and cheese and fries

    It's a rare joy to find food places, regardless of the type, that are this good. You would do yourself a serious disservice to pass them by. Customer service on point. Clean, well designed seating area. There is nothing wrong here. Bring your butt on in here and quit playing. Fantastic!

    From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by Anthony, the owner, and that set the tone right away. Great guy, passionate about his food, and it shows. We took his recommendations and were not disappointed at all. The jalapeño sausage was my favorite, packed with flavor and just the right kick. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. And the brisket... melt-in-your-mouth, done right. The sides held their own too, mac & cheese and brisket beans were both on point. What stood out even more was that Anthony came back to ask how everything was and genuinely wanted feedback. That kind of care goes a long way. Easily some of the best BBQ we've had in Massachusetts. Amazing atmosphere!! We'll be back... no question.

    Chili soooo good

    If I can give 3.5 stars I would. Tried this bbq place the other day. We did take out. My photos are showing half of a portion because my spouse took half. We did the 3 meat combo and a banana bread pudding. Service was prompt, there's an option to order online for pick up. The restaurant is inside the mall so you can shop and dine. The place is very lively. Great for family. The brisket was flavorful one one side, I wish it was flavorful throughout. The meat side was bland. Pudding was great, not super sweet. The pull pork was my fave!!

    Dang I was really excited to try Noah's BBQ, but it was very underwhelming for my first time. We got brisket and ribs along with mac, creamed corn, and coleslaw. The brisket was borderline cold and somehow dry, but had a nice amount of fat to meat ratio. However, there was no tendernism to be found and memes aside, for a BBQ restaurant to have subpar brisket is a let down. Hopefully this was an one off situation and it isn't always like that, but all three orders of brisket were disappointing. The ribs were moist and tender and packed lots of flavor though so I'd recommend trying them. The sides were decent, but nothing to write home about. I enjoyed the coleslaw the most out of the three sides. Portion size wise I thought it was alright for the price. The service was fine and they offered recommendations and samples for the sides which was greatly appreciated. The seating area itself was where I had some additional issues. The workers started mopping the floor an hour before closing and it made the floor dangerously slippery. There were no wet floor caution signs around the seating area either (only had one towards the back where you exit to the parking lot), which is a safety hazard for those who may have been unaware. We had to carefully exit the restaurant after we ate and when we reached the mall's flooring, there was immediately no issues with traction. I do applaud the fact that the workers try to keep the tables clean between each subsequent group, but rudely enough there were some customers who just left all their trash on the table instead of disposing it themselves. They were unfortunately out of sausage when I got there, but I'd come back to try it and give them a second chance on the brisket. Also the smoked wings and pork belly burnt ends sound good so I hope those don't disappoint either! Hoping to have a solid BBQ spot in the area so I will update when I get a chance to return.

    Got my two year old licking her fingers clean it's that good!!!

    Can't wait to go back! The meat is sooo tender. My husband, daughter and I loved it. We also got the Mac and cheese and Cole slaw for sides. Delish! Eric was really nice. He introduced himself and delivered our meal right to our table. Spacious and conveniently located inside the mall

    Brisket paired with Mac and cheese, brisket fried rice. And potato salad. Complimentary pickle spear, pickled onion, and bread.

    This South Shore BBQ spot is a hidden gem. I was reading quite a few negative reviews claiming "I'm from Texas" or "I'm a chef," and that Noah doesn't provide quality grub...but let's be real: expecting true Texas BBQ in MA is like expecting bánh mì here to taste like it does in Vietnam. Of course it's not exact -- but this is the closest you'll get, and it's damn good. The brisket and pork belly burnt ends were crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned -- borderline heavy on the salt, which slightly overpowered the BBQ sauce, but still delicious. Sides like mac & cheese, creamed corn, and potato salad were spot-on. I do wish they included jalapeños for a little kick, but the pickle spear, pickled onions, and soft bread were perfect complimentary adds. Service was top-notch. The chef personally checked on us multiple times and even brought out extra meat straight off the smoker because he didn't think the first batch was good enough (we thought it was already excellent). Staff were helpful and went above and beyond to provide great service. Given that they recently opened, they're definitely still ironing out some things (menu availability, consistency), but this place has serious potential. The ventilation for the smokers isn't so great so I'd suggest a good scrub down of the establishment on a regular basis to help with the grease build up and sticky floor feeling. But with that said, the atmosphere is cute and inviting. Support your local gems -- especially when they're serving up flavor like this and trying their best to deliver good food! And honestly, those Negative Nancy's should just not eat out in general if they're expecting a 5 course michelin star meal in a mall for less than the cost of mcdonalds.

    I came across this place on Facebook and decided to stop by last week while I was in the area to see what it was all about. Being someone who lived in the South for years, I can say it's not easy to find truly good barbecue here in New England, so my expectations were cautious. The restaurant is located right next to Davio's at the South Shore Mall. As soon as you walk in, you immediately get that classic Southern barbecue joint vibe. The dining area is bright and welcoming, with plenty of seating and walls decorated with traditional barbecue-style décor that really sets the atmosphere. I'm a rib person, so that's always the first thing I try at any barbecue spot. These ribs did not disappoint. They were big, meaty, and packed with flavor--absolutely delicious. The mac & cheese was also spot on, which is another thing that's surprisingly hard to find done well up here in New England. I was a bit short on time during this visit, so I had to keep it quick, but I'll definitely be coming back to spend more time and try more of the menu. The staff was also very friendly, and they even bring the food out to your table, which is something you don't see very often around here. If you're in the area and looking for solid barbecue, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.

    Definitely worth the try. The line to order was long, and so was the wait time for the food (which is understandable considering that they are a new restaurant). I can say the food was good, the pulled pork wasn't my favorite. The brisket was good and the ribs were very tender. The mac and cheese was pretty basic but not bad. I loved the fries. I was turned off by the pickles touching the tray on my meal so I didn't bother trying my pickles. I can say it was pretty busy inside Noah's BBQ so plan ahead for the wait

    Creamed corn, mac and cheese, potato salad, and bread pudding.

    Noah's BBQ has been open less than a day, and I'm pretty sure I'm already their biggest fan. I don't want to sound over the top, but this might just be the best BBQ I've had in Massachusetts. The brisket and pulled pork were spot on - smoky, flavorful, tender, and juicy. The brisket was so good I actually went back later the same day for seconds. Their Noah's house BBQ sauce takes it to another level too, I was getting almost a Carolina gold flavor from it. The sides hold their own as well. The mac and cheese, creamed corn, and potato salad are all worth trying, but the potato salad was my favorite. And don't skip the bread pudding it tasted exactly like strawberry shortcake and was fantastic. I can't wait to see what they do with their specials and the rest of the menu. The South Shore is lucky to have a place this good right in the neighborhood.

The knife was so bad that my husband took out his pocket knife to cut his food. If you wanted something to drink, you had to purchase it and that included bottled water. There were other beverages that I didn't recognize and there was no Coke or Pepsi. They were known napkins only rough, brownish paper on a roll that you pulled off pieces. At least there was a bathroom to wash your hands. We will never return

From the outside, the restaurant looks plain and unassuming, but once inside, it's modern, comfortable, and inviting. We had made reservations, but when we arrived, the place wasn't too crowded. The staff greeted us warmly and explained that we could either do the full rodizio or choose specific meats and pay by the pound. Naturally, we went for the full rodizio experience. The salad bar was a pleasant surprise. Unlike other Brazilian steakhouses that focus mainly on cold cuts, cheeses, and salads, Spettus had a smaller selection of cold items but an impressive variety of hot dishes such as pastas, meatballs, rice, and chicken parm. Everything was flavorful and fresh, and honestly, I could've been perfectly happy just eating from the salad bar alone. We also noticed that a good number of customers were doing takeout, which might explain the larger selection of hot foods. Then came the main event, the meats. Since it was a slower evening and we were the only table doing the full rodizio, we basically had personalized service. The gentleman serving the meats was friendly, attentive, and clearly took pride in what he was serving. He offered great recommendations, took our requests, and playfully encouraged us to take "just one more slice" each time he came around. Every cut we tried was excellent, but the garlic steak really stood out for its flavor. The sausage was fantastic, and the absolute stars of the night were the picanha and the grilled pineapple. I could eat those two forever and be completely content. Overall, Spettus Steak House delivered a top-notch experience that easily rivals some of the larger chain Brazilian steakhouses. If I find myself back in the Boston area, I'll definitely be returning.
