BBQ and Bourbon in one place? What's not to love?!?…read more My buddy and I came in here on my most recent trip to Boston. We ordered some brisket spring rolls to start. These were delicious and came with a great bbq ranch sauce. We then split a 3 meat plate; wings, burnt ends, and pulled pork (they were out of brisket) it came with cornbread, beans, mac and cheese and potato salad. The wings were phenomenal; smokey and crisp. The pulled pork was good and paired well with their sauce. The burnt ends came already sauced and were swimming in it. They weren't my favorite. The sides were just ok to me, but I really liked the cornbread. The whiskey selection was huge! I got a pour of the Heaven's Door Private Selection which was a 127.4 proof and delicious. The prices seemed decent. The service was a little slow, but the place was very nice.

The good to very good: Pulled chicken - good flavor! Jalapeño cheddar sausage - very good flavor! Cole slaw Mac n cheese Cucumber salad was good Kids meal gluten free bar was very good The medium: Nashville hot chicken sandwich and fries. Fries were seasoned well. Where was the Nashville hot sauce Tried regular wings and hot wings. Both average. The bad: Ribs were dry and lacking flavor Brisket was very fatty. Burnt ends were doused in sauce and didnt have enough meat. Flavor was overpowering and not in a good way with all the sauce/seasoning. Cornbread was dry and a bit hard. Cool that they offer kids meals with BBQ but the ribs chosen were dry and the fries came out under done and room temp. Not as crispy or flavorful as the adult meal fries. All in all, a very "mid experience".

The guy that runs the spot is super passionate about the craft and was kind enough to chat and explain the process. Only caveat is that the brisket sells out fairly early.

They serve up a variety of smoked BBQ meats, including brisket, St. Louis ribs, beef ribs, sausage, pulled pork, pork belly burnt ends, chicken, turkey, and portabella "pulled pork" a vegetarian option. They offer BBQ plates, sandwiches, wraps, chicken wings, chicken tenders, fried foods (fries, okra, pickles), and sides (mac n cheese, candied yams, garlic mashed potatoes, rice, collard greens, BBQ pit beans, potato salad, grilled vegetables, & potato salad). The pricing is moderate. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($16.99 plus hospitality fee and tax) served with choice of side and pickles. Since I parked very close to the food stall, I sat in my vehicle (with flashers) for 5 minutes and quickly retrieved my order. The pulled pork sandwich was a good size with cole slaw, tender sweet BBQ pulled pork on a thick soft egg bun. The pulled pork was mostly lean meat, a bit dry, but it tasted just fine. The potato salad was pretty good, which had firm gold potatoes, chopped red onions, celery, egg, mustard, mayo, and seasonings and dill pickle chips on the side. I enjoyed my food in the vehicle before heading back home. I will have to try some of their other meats and sides on the next visit to Wade BBQ.

Our waiter was very nice and attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed without over crowding us. I ordered the burnt end sandwich. It was very good and came with plenty of food - I definitely didn't finish everything. My wife got a hot dog & my daughter got the chicken Caesar sandwich - both were also excellent. The standout here was the cost. Give the style of food and the area we were in, I was expecting to pay quite a bit more for 3 people to have lunch. Their prices are extremely reasonable. We will definitely make this a regular stop when we visit the area in the future.

The cucumber salad that it was served with was quite good, but serving the already slightly undercooked fish directly on top of it only made the coating softer and mushier. We also had the biscuits and they were good, although just a tiny bit dry. I have an allium allergy so there were not many other options for me to try. Overall, the flavors were there, but a few adjustments to the texture and presentation would have made the meal much better.

The honey butter was amazing as well. The pulled pork was incredibly juicy and flavorful. For 10$ it felt like a great deal. However, it must be due to the air conditioning indoors, it felt like the pulled pork got cold very quickly. They came to check on our table a couple of times to ask us if we needed anything and gave us a fresh container of butter when we asked for a container to take the remainder of the butter to go as well.

Cons: When we first arrived, we were told there were only tables available outside. My friend asked how long to wait for indoor. The person looked inside and went ahead and sat us inside. SEVERAL tables were empty so it didn't make sense why they told us outside only. It was a very warm day too, so inside was preferred. I didn't realize there would be meat in the beans and wish it were on the menu. The smoked potato was just a small potato with cream cheese. Overall, it was overpriced for what we received, but I think that's to be expected being so close to Fenway.

A few minutes later we were led to a table. Inside was very crowded and dimly lit. The seating was pretty tight. After the waitress took our orders and then the bread arrived. There was olive oil on the table that was used for dipping the bread in. We ordered the lasagna, penne alle Amatriciana, fried calamari, and meatball with ricotta. I got the fried calamari and meatball as my meal. They were very large portions. The calamari was tender but the breading fell off as soon as you bit into it. The way they had the lemon wrapped so that the seeds wouldn't fall in when squeezed was clever. The meatball went well with the ricotta. The texture was good but lacked flavor. My husband enjoyed his lasagna. We all love the sauce. My daughter also liked her penne alla Amatriciana. It was cooked al dente and had slight kick to it. After dinner we shared a cannoli. The food was good if a little expensive. The waitress was friendly but because it was crowded wasnot as attentive as she could be.

We started off with their espresso martinis, which you cannot go wrong with. Everyone ordered their own pasta; I got the carbonara. In the grand scheme of things, it was fine, but also it was room temperature which threw me off a bit. However, the carbonara flavor was solid, good pasta texture too. Overall, I wasn't completely blown away but it was just all right. I'd like to give it another try one day
