I LOVE Redbones! The pulled pork there is amazing! Not to mention the cornbread. The art downstairs is awesome too. And they deliver! Definitely worth checking out.

I was first introduced to Redbones in the spring of 2007 even though I've been a resident since 2003. I have never been disappointed! the pulled pork is amazing and i've tried almost all the rib types and you can't go wrong. I like how they will gladly bring you all 4 types of sauce from sweet to Crying your eyes out HOT!!! i wasnt a huge fan of the Hush Puppies (fried cornbread) but thats just a personal thing. They have a great drink menu too. The only thing I was disappointed with was the bloody mary. all the other drinks are fabulous! they have a lengthy beer menu as well. the portions are huge and its hard to decide on just one. I highly recommend doing it family style if you like the people you're with! that way you can sample a little bit of everything.

Redbones is a great place for a large family gathering. The decor is the typical of the nail it to the wall and explain it latter school. A little dark but still festive. The service is good and was very patient with our group of nine. The barbecue was very good with tender pork and beef ribs. The bbq sauce is not overly sweet. Portions are large and I felt the price was reasonable.

This place knows how to BBQ. If you're form the south, don't expect anything special, but for the NE crowd, it's good stuff for sure. Cheap booze, good food and a cool atmosphere too. Try the pulled pork or the St. Louis ribs. Cornbread is a must, but most sides leave somehting to be desireed. No doubt, this place will leave some extra coin in the pocket though. Sandwiches and such start around $7.00 and there is at least one $2.50 beer on the menu.

WAY OVER-RATED...I don't know why people rave about ANY of the food here, but it must be because they like 'blah food' instead of 'soul food'. it's too bad because they are located in a good spot--Boston definitely needs better bbq places!
Pros: good location
Cons: terrible food

First off, let me say that the staff and the atmosphere there is great. BUT, if you are looking for BBQ, even quasi-BBQ, steer clear. I know a lot of people from NE love this place but that's because the bar has been set low when it comes to BBQ standards. YES, there portions are big but that doesn't matter when you can't get past 3 bites. YES, they have a variety of sauces but they are all HORRID.
Good things: Okra (yeah, I'm from the south, can you tell), the beer selection, the staff, and the atmosphere. It's a great place to have a few drinks!!!
Bad: The dried up substance they try to pass for BBQ and the runny things they call sauces.
There should be a law that bans people from claiming to serve BBQ without meeting certain standards (like with wine).
Pros: Fun place for drinks, great staff
Cons: The food

Food is OK.. I've had better at Tennesse's BBQ.. The ribs are not bbq'd with the sauce on it, so, they tend to be quite dry.. The portions are huge., so, that makes up for the dryness and they also give mild, medium or hot sauce. I love the casualness of the place, though it does tend to get crowded around 8ish.. We went there in a big group of around 20 people and just wanted to hang out by the bar for the most part.. So, that was OK..
Things I like there are
1. Beer
2. Atmosphere (Both upstairs and downstairs)
3. Veggie Burger
4. Buffalo Shrimp
5. Corn Pudding
6. Corn Bread
7. Fried Okra
Notice, how none of these things have any bones :-( Oh well.. My friends like it... So, I guess I'll keep going there..
Pros: Good Ambience, Pleasant Service, OK Food
Cons: OK food, Not real bbq

Redbones is very overrated. Although good bbq is hard to come by in New England, Redbones is not the place to find it. Save your money, buy some frozen ribs at Star Market, and cook them on the grill, they will probably taste better.
I will say that their service, beer selection, corn bread and bbq sauce are all stupendous. But as far as the meet goes, its typically dry, bland, and cold. And don't even think about the Texas Chili....blahh.
Pros: Lively environment
Cons: Sub-par food
