    Smoked Chicken Ranch Sandwich, with Sweet Potato Tater Tots, and cornbread
    Allen E.

    First off the service was outstanding! I ordered chicken wings buffalo medium......they were pretty good, I just like mine a bit more crispy. The flavor was spot on for a medium buffalo. I also ordered fries loaded with cheese and bacon.......and OH THEY WERE LOADED! Fries were fantastic, crunchy, hot and fresh, with at least 50lbs of mozzarella.....lol Wife ordered a smoked chicken ranch sandwich....she absolutely loved it. Great flavor very juicy. All in all we would stop by again to try the bbq, wish there was more of a selection of alcohol.

    Great, small BBQ joint. Friendly service, generous portions, quality cooking. Reminds me of joints near Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Large menu. Brisket was great as were the St. Louis ribs. Collard greens good but a bit salty. Baked beans good. Very generous portions. I will definitely come back. Waitress couldn't have been nicer and polite.

    Wow, stumbled into here when the other restaurant was closed. What a great find. My brother in law had the spicy southern Caesar with added chicken. He loved it. I had the beef barbacoa tacos and a pork slider and the waffle fries. The brisket was fabulous, as was the pulled pork. The amount of meat they serve is tremendous. We will come back. And they have guest wifi which is a prerequisite for a 5 star in my book

    Our first time out to The Coops new spot in Shrewsbury. We wanted to try it out because the new location has a bigger area for eating ( the Millbury spot has very limited seating area). Nice location in downtown Shrewsbury, we didn't have any problem finding a street parking spot. The inside is decorated very nicely and they have table service. We both decided on the Rueben with Mac and cheese as we loved that at their other location. We also got a side of collard greens and cornbread. They had quite a few beers to pick from and my husband was happy they had some Jacks Abby beer (one of his favorites) and I got a sweet tea (although they had a few mixed drinks that sounded yummy). Our service was excellent and the sandwiches were amazing (we both could only eat half). I love their Mac and cheese too! Collard greens were almost as good as my recipe and cornbread wasn't too sweet. The Coop is one of our favorite spots to grab some southern food!!

    With a name like the Coop, I thought they would have a ton of chicken sandwich options. The sandwich menu seems more shaped toward bbq. The sourdough is phenomenal. I really enjoyed the quality of the bread and the other ingredients. It was all fresh and made with care. Perfect cook on everything. Great seasoning. No complaints on the taste and quality. The Brisket, bacon, lettuce, and tomato was awesome. That's definitely a highlight. You should get that sandwich. You can see in the picture how tender and juicy it was. Epic sandwich. I was hoping for a range of chicken sandwiches but alas, The Coop doesn't seem to specialize in that. The closest I could come was some tenders on sourdough. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't get a buttermilk fried chicken breast sandwich. I figured the Coop had to have something like that. Although my Jamaican tenders were expertly prepared and topped with fresh jalapenos, I was still wanting that breast experience. They charge per soda, as I guess put the cans into glasses so you don't know it's not fountain soda. I was surprised when the bill reflected that, assumed it was free refills. Just FYI. Feel like they should do fountain soda and give free refills since you pay a hefty price for the food. Overall it's a bit pricey but the quality is good, so it's justifed. I will come back to try other things. The chicken and waffles sounded good. This is a BBQ and burger place more than a specialty chicken shop. That said, they do a great job at that, just don't come in expecting a chicken focused menu.

    Nice easy take out container, with blue cheese, and fresh carrots ... I would put a grill chat on carrots for added flavor

    Food was meh. Service was meh. Would not go back, left nothing to be desired for. Barbecue was way too salty, especially the brisket.

    Unwilling to do flats only on wings orders. Drumsticks are nasty, I'd pay a fee for flats only but the coop doesn't want that business

    The Purple Pig - Ribs

    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.

    Great food and flavor. Try the smoked ox tail and the macaroni and cheese. I was very impressed…read morewith the quality service.
