Tennessee's Real BBQ Real Fast - Ribs **** - Barbeque Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Really good BBQ. This is pretty much the kind of place you find all over the South: unassuming, relaxed, and delicious. The food comes out fast, it's packed with flavor, and the price isn't unreasonable given the volume of food. I was a particular fan of the brisket and the collard greens, but everything was good. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. read more

The store looks tired and could use a refresh but that could be the landlord holding them back. Counter staff was nice attentive and helpful. Sadly the food doesn't hit the mark for authentic BBQ. Brisket was not tender at all and lacked flavor. Reminded me of a boiled brisket like corned beef. Pulled pork was very mushy like in a cafeteria and also lacked a flavor kick. The pricing was appropriate for what we got. I can't speak for the other options they have but we probably won't be back to try them. To be clear - the food wasn't bad.... But it also isn't smoked delicious bbq read more

Exceptional BBQ especially for this area. I love the combos, definitely try the Memphis style ribs if you like your pork sweet like me! They cook to order well, so be patient because it's BBQ and you'll be met with great service. Standard interior but with a lot of great seating options if you are going solo. The staff are beyond nice here! Be generous to them, I've been coming here for over a decade so it's definitely sentimental to me. read more

I have had real BBQ in Tennessee and this ain't it. Flavors were ok but lacking few key things. First off the brisket was so dry. It looked old and almost like a dried up pork chop instead of fresh cut brisket. The smoked wings seemed like could have used some extra time in smoker. The Mac and cheese and potatoe were beyond basic. The ribs, mashed potatoes and slaw were on point and saved the day from a complete let down. Unfortunately this was a one and done for me. read more

Winner, winner, porky dinner. The Piggy Party special, with a generous amount of pulled pork, smoked sausage, and 2 rib bones, was really good. I was pressed for time during lunch, but my order was ready as fast as any drive through fast food chain. Ample sides of macaroni and cheese, moist corn bread, and sweet and tangy cucumber salad rounded out this meal that was too much food for one person. Will definitely return and would order this again. read more

This place seems to continue to be a hidden gem in Framingham. Despite prices increasing everywhere else over the years, Tennessee's prices are still extremely reasonable. The food comes out almost instantly and it is always solid. Their sides are great, their barbecue is consistently tasty, the people working there are nice and welcoming, and the vibe is the same as it was back when I grew up in the area. read more

Tennessee's Real BBQ Real Fast - North Carolina Pork Sandwich with 2 Side - Barbeque Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

We got take-out on May 20, 2025. The food was atrocious and inedible. The Texas ribs had hardly any meet on them, were overcooked and dried out, and had no BBQ sauce. The cole slaw was dry. The baked sweet potatoes were overcooked. This place was never great, but what we were served was shameful. We will never buy food from this establishment again. read more

First time at this place. A couple items of note: menu prices reflect cash only. They will accept a CC at a 3.5% upcharge. Soft drinks only - no beer/wine license. I tried the Memphis ribs plate - classic meat & 3. Green beans, collards and cornbread. Ribs were cooked properly. Sauce was unremarkable. For NE BBQ not bad. Below the Mason/Dixon line they'd struggle. read more

Food was good. Atmosphere is really cute but dang it looked like this place needs a deep clean. Ripped furniture, peeling paint, sticky floors. The girl who took our order did the minimum her job required. If they would take some time to clean up the original shine of this place, it could raise to 5 stars. read more

I have been here a couple times for take out, and each time I have a pretty good experience. The staff is kind and the order is ready to go within the time communicated, which is good. The food is pretty good. The individual ribs have been meaty and tasty and the smoked chicken wings have also been good and are a nice size - not too small. I read complaints about mice and cleanliness. Hopefully there are no mouse issues and the sauces and kitchen are clean. read more

Ribs are decent... place is tired and all BBC worn seats, floors , disgusting doors etc... needs a full remodel ... hasn't changed from original opening 30 years ago? Need more barbecue choices in area... read more

Tennessee's Real BBQ Real Fast - My husband couldn't finish his meal, the brisket was terrible! - Barbeque Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Ordered on DoorDash and the quality of food received was not sufficient for my cat to eat. Brisket was dry and was not bbq'd. Season-less, baked to a Sahara desert dry. The chicken also spent time in the same desert treatment. Dirty rice tasted like white rice, dyed brown. The Cajun community would file injunctions if they tasted it. The only edible items were the cornbread and Mac and cheese. However I like a dry Mac and cheese so if that is not for you then this won't work. I am glad I am traveling on business and my company paid for this otherwise I would be filing a small claims case. Just horrific. This is not bbq. It is someone with a hot stove and a bottle of bbq sauce. Do better! read more

This is among the worst BBQ that I've had which didn't come out of a plastic tub at the grocery store. I came in on a Saturday afternoon, so one would think everything would be nice and fresh. In actuality, I got small shreds of BBQ pork literally dripping in grease and clearly scooped out of the bottom of a pan or crockpot where they had been sitting all day. Totally unacceptable for 'real BBQ' ... nothing about this was real, unless you consider it a 'real shame' to the BBQ name. The mac and cheese tasted fresh from the box and pre-made from a powdery mix vs. homemade. There was no melty/drippy cheese. It tasted EXACTLY like Kraft Mac & Cheese from the box, which had been placed under a heat lamp for hours and hours until it dried out. Come on ... a box of mac & cheese is 99 cents at the grocery store and makes 8 portions in the sizes you dish out. How can you serve dry, old mac and cheese to people when making a fresh batch is so cheap? Total laziness. Back to the BBQ ... this was a mushy mess. REAL BBQ (or even somewhat decent BBQ) is moist shreds of pork or brisket. It's hard to keep BBQ from drying out, which is why it's usually made in waves vs. making big batches and kept under heat lamps. They douse their BBQ in BBQ sauce BEFORE it hits the bun so it doesn't dry out when sitting all day. This means you don't get to choose the BBQ sauce ... it's just there. Also, as the meat loses its moisture into this mess of meat and sauce, it begins to fall apart and get greasy. There was no smokey taste. No big pieces to chew ... you could literally suck up the meat in the sandwich with a straw. The bun was a common 99 cent for 8 supermarket bun. It was absolutely evident that no care, home cooking or expertise had gone into the preparation of what they are serving. At one time ... going back at least 10 years ... this place served slightly above mediocre BBQ. There was always a line at the counter. Now it's just going through the motions and almost empty on a weekend lunch. The sauce ... Kraft or Bullseye brand has more flavor. I tried all 3 sauces and they all tasted the same. Sugary ketchup squirted from a big vat. Clearly this shop has called it in and decided to just 'get by' based on location alone as no care goes into the food here. Overly greasy, mass-produced sugary sauce saturated junk is what this is. Sorry but I literally would rather throw $11 away than spend it on what I got here again. read more

Stop by here last week definitely have to get these items beef ribs and Dixie chicken well made flavored and cooked perfect not dry with dirty rice, Mac and cheese and of course corn bread excellent work by all read more

Ribs and chicken were okay...chicken was a bit on the dry side. Sides were also just "okay", the Mac and Cheese tasted a lot like the kids cafeteria kind. Also...the inside of the place is seriously very nasty. Floors, tables, walls, bathroom, etc. all seem like they haven't been properly cleaned in years. Makes you think what could possibly be going on in the kitchen... And they sell burritos and sandwiches? Are you a BBQ restaurant? Anyways, ribs were the best part, but even then they were nothing to ride home about. This place needs a serious detox. read more

We read the reviews and tried anyways, but it had disappointing, flavorless food and sad, dingy decor. Wouldn't recommend - go into Boston and get your fix at Redbones instead read more

Another visit to this casual BBQ place and everything was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Natick/Shoppers World area. It's tasty, and I think inexpensive.

I was impressed with the extremely fast service and getting the time of getting the food. It's faster then McDonald's. I opted for the North Carolina pulled pork sandwich. Meat was moist and loads of flavor. Those who aren't familiar with the North Carolina flavor, it consist of vinegar to give the tangy flavor to the meat. Mac and cheese was pretty good too. Love the fact that you can wash your hands conveniently in the sink in the dining area. Cheers read more

I have always enjoyed the food from this place, but I recently ordered two plates to go for my brother and myself that we were not fully happy with. When I contacted them by email, they very promptly offered replacement meals. I brought in my receipt from the original order just to prove that I wasn't just trying to get free meals and the lovely, amazingly helpful woman at the register noticed that, when I told her that I wanted to take up the offer of the two replacement plates of baby back ribs, my previous receipt listed Memphis ribs. The Memphis ribs are delicious, but they are not as meaty as the baby back ribs and that was my original complaint: the ribs were not as I had remembered. So not only did I get two free meals to replace the meals that I was not fully satisfied with, the woman at the register today helped me understand that the problem was not in the food itself, but in the fact that I was served a different type of rib that I've had originally requested. Unless it was me that requested the wrong type of rib! Either way, the food at this place is great in my opinion. And the ownership is obviously top-notch! read more

I haven't been here for a while now, but always had good memory of it. Used to be a staple joint for us when we lived in Framingham. Had craving for BBQ late last night and decided to pick up some BBQ chicken wings and bucket of ribs. The tastes of the ribs and wings were still good and the sauce on the side is as yummy as I remember. But the chicken and ribs were relatively dry and really burnt on the outside. I mean charcoal burnt... That is a first I have ever gotten from any restaurant or take out place. Very disappointing. read more

Little joint in a little outward-facing strip mall. Staff is good, prices are good, food is good. Nothing fancy, just good food.

We ordered the pork and beef ribs,greens,baked beans,cornbread,and cucumber salad.The ribs were good and seasoned,the greens had a nice texture to them as they weren't super soggy or super soft the baked beans were tasty.However what really took the show was the cornbread.The cornbread was moist and tasty wasn't to sweet but want to tart either and was very smooth.It was a hit. read more

I have been eating at this place for years as it is consistently great. Their best options are baby back ribs, pulled pork and the chicken. The side sausage is also great along with the mac&cheese and smashed potatoes. If they have pecan pie in the fridge, get it. So good. read more

Good lil homie spot. Been here a few times. Usually solid every single time! Get the north carolina pulled pork. Its like a randy johnson fastball coming right down the gullet. Mashed potatos are just fuckin eh' . They are quick with the orders, great lunch spot. Definitely would return. read more

Need a great fast lunch, this is a good place to stop. I've also ordered catering from them for company meals. Everyone loves it and the people are great to work with. They packaged up my order well in large pans and had different extra sauces on the side. The brisket is tender and full of flavor. Mac and Cheese is always a favorite side too. This is a nice alternative to going out for a holiday meal...bring it in and relax! read more

Food is very flavorful, we've only had it delivered through Grubhub so can't comment on service/ambiance. I love the pulled pork burrito, it's huge! and also delicious. The pork doesn't feel dry, but it comes with dirty rice which is very spicy (for me, can't handle much spice lol). The mac n cheese is also delicious, creamy and cheese. It doesn't taste like KFC's or kraft, it's made from scratch w/o yellow dye and real cheese, or at least tastes like it. read more
