BARK-BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

Incredible brisket, wings, cowboy caviar, cornbread, and fun specials. The team is warm and inviting and we just love them.

Updating to a five star because i had it again and it was very good. We got the brisket sandwiches and the tots with brisket it was amazing. And also adding another star because the manager (owner?) made it a point to tell me that i can have as much sauce as I want from the sauce bar inside when i picked it up this time. She basically said the sauce cups are for doordash, etc and i shouldn't order and pay for a side of sauce with normal pickup because they have plenty there. So they aren't stingy on the sauce! And its the best bbq ive had from boston to the cape. read more

BRISKET BURNT ENDS! this is all you need to know. Just go get some now. I usually don't buy seafood inland or BBQ up North but this place can go toe-to-toe with the best of Texas pit masters. The brisket is as good as you get at the absolute top tier BBQ joints in the US. You rarely see Burnt Ends as a menu item ever. What a gem for Plymouth. So glad I overlooked my own rule! read more

Friendly couple! Amazing " burnt ends ", superb ribs, greens to die for' even the corm bread and Mac and cheese were excellent:) Don't miss out on this gem,.... I'm very fussy, I know a good place when I encounter it read more

Tonight was our first time here, but it definitely will not be our last! The pulled pork was so tender and juicy. Brisket was delicious. Loved the variety and flavors of the sauces. Oh and the baked beans are yummy! Plus I can't say enough about the wonderful staff - very friendly and gave great recommendations on pairing sauces with meats. This place is a must!! read more

Service - top notch. So friendly, so accommodating, and with your typical cafeteria style bbq joint sometimes you make it thru the line and you're on your own, but not here. They checked we were okay with the temperature in the quaint dining area, checked in drink refills, offered boxes and we were winding down - just so welcoming. 10/10 for the brisket and the cornbread - the bark on the brisket was so delicious I couldn't taint it with bbq sauce (of which they have a huge variety). Cornbread was sweet and crumbly and delicious. 8/10 for the pulled pork - tender and juicy, but not as much smoked flavor as I'm accustomed to. Still a knockout and I'm guessing would be fantastic as the sandwich option. The only thing keeping me from a 5 start review were the sides - we had baked beans and macaroni and cheese, and I think it's just a matter of personal preference here but neither were great. The roux for the Mac and cheese appeared broken and it was mushy and flavorless. Now as a vehicle to accompany some pulled pork and a little bbq sauce - it did the job. But as a stand-alone I would not get again. The beans were very unique - not your 'typical' bbq baked beans but lighter and a little more wet. I would suggest trying these - again I think just a matter of personal preference. We will definitely be back and try some different sides next time! read more

We visited BARK-BBQ after reading reviews online (not a single bad one) we were looking to get a gift card for Xmas . As we walked in we were greeted with friendly smiles and amazing customer service , not to mention the aroma of the inside was amazing . We only visited to get a gift card but ended up going to BARK-BBQ for lunch . All of the food was delicious (we tried the combo tray so we could sample different things) and the sauces too (we bought some to go) . Long story short , if you love BBQ this is the place to go. Food was fresh, customer service was great , and the experience is one worth going back for . BARK- BBQ did not disappoint . read more

Great little place. Amazing brisket and ribs. Exceptionally friendly staff. Best bbq in the area hands down

Holy cow! Best BBQ north of the Mason-Dixon Line! Welcoming from the second we walked in, immediately let us know what was available to order. Got a three meat combo with pulled pork, spicy sausage, and pulled chicken. All were delish, and liked them in the order listed. Rack of ribs needs no sauce. Texas style dry rub was on point. Tried the table bbq and spicy bbq sauces and both were excellent. Chicken needed the sauce as it was dry, but everything else was good as is, and good with sauce too. Tried nearly every side for sale. Good slaw is legit and so is the cornbread. Beans were different, and ok. Didn't love them. Liked the cucumber salad. Kids liked the Mac and cheese. Brisket was sold out, and we'll be back for it soon! read more

Looord have mercy- sinfully good. The Sliced BBQ Brisket, Collards, and Mac and Cheese had so many rich flavors and everything just melts in your mouth.

BARK-BBQ - Sliced BBQ Brisket Carolina Pulled Pork Tray Red Bliss Potato Salad Baked Mac & Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

Great little spot, not too many BBQ joints to compete with. Helps that they are actually good too. Got the 3 Meat Combo: Sliced Brisket, Ribs, Pulled Chicken with Mac and Cheese and Beans. They had jerk too which was cool to see. Brisket: Nice little layer of fat on top, great bark look to it (should be from a place called "Bark") Meat color was a little more browner than I'm used to but still on the traditional side. Meat is a bit tougher than I like but not too different from a lot of other BBQ joints that do this drier style of Brisket. Amazing Rub! Some of the better rubs I've ever had. Fat melts incredibly wet like instant melted butter, fat had its own smokey flavor to it as well. Flavor of the beef was Above average. My only complaint was the toughness but that is just me. Ribs: Great smoke ring look, they leave the membrane film on, amazing tenderness to the meat, amazing flavor, ribs were a bit more short than I like. Came pre cut too, thank you. Meat was sorta coming off the bone a little too easily and I don't really like that. Smoke flavor is amazing although it might overpower the flavor of the pork a tiny bit, not that it mattered too much in this case. I think my particular cut of ribs didn't cook evenly enough, possibly part of the reason why they were so short, end piece cut. Some parts were tougher, some parts were soft, all that, I'm the only one who would complain though, still amazing flavor. Pulled Chicken: Definitely had some sort of mop sauce in it but couldn't tell if it was the same sauce as the one you could get yourself. But the taste of the smoked chicken was excellent. Might not be the best I've ever had but it's up there. Whatever sauce was in it was perfect too, didn't overpower anything and left plenty of room for my tastebuds to appreciate the chicken flavor. Baked Beans: Had a golden brown hue to it (that's not meant to sound like a good or bad thing). Looked like only one type of bean. Didn't look like anything special, just a nice traditional baked bean recipe. The taste hit me with some great old school vibes though. Gravy sticks to the beans and doesn't run down through the fork. Bits and pieces of bacon or pork or brisket bark or something. Good texture, a bit hot though (and I know that sounds like a "duh" statement) meaning the beans kinda explode out of their skin a little too easily. Just a really nice smokey bean flavor, not a real good presence of Brown Sugar or Apple or Maple, just that nice smoked bean flavor from the good old days. Mac and Cheese: Shell pasta with a very very "frothy" looking cheese, if I was going to pick a quick word to describe it. Could see some sort of seasoning that I assumed was black pepper. Cheese wasn't goopy (goopy is bad) or stringy (stringy is good) but it was just like a nice cheese sauce. Realized that it did have some stringy-ness to it as I got deeper. There is definitely a hint of a spice in there, it wasn't black pepper by my taste buds at the time anyway. Great texture, good buttery cheesy flavor, might have been baked a little but didn't look like it. All in all this is actually pretty great mac and cheese. Cornbread: Looked pretty typical. Sorta had a top layer like it was all flaking off. Taste was typical, mild sweetness, cakey texture, little corn meal grains in there so its not completely cake like, good but nothing great. 5 Sauces. Sweet Table BBQ, Alabama White, Spicy BBQ, Asian Spiked, and Carolina Mop. Asian Spiked was hard to describe cause I dont think I've tasted it before, nothing really reminded me of any typical asian flavor like teriyaki or schezuan or soy. If anything it was more like a fruitier BBQ sauce but I couldn't tell ya what fruit. Alabama white was more mayo-like, not as many spices as I like to see, but actually tasted pretty good. Carolina MOP had a crazy amount of spices as it should, nice sweet vinegar with not a super hard bite to it with a little tiny bit of heat to it, very nice. Sweet Table BBQ was the type of sauce that just made me point at it like a proud papa. Excellent blend of spices and vinegar and sweetness. I put a lot of thought into my rating. On one hand this place has some really really good BBQ. But it kind of comes down to if it is really really good authentic made with love BBQ. To me there was something about it that just tasted like it's a "follow the recipe and repeat" type of place. I could be super wrong but I feel like that's what I tasted. Thought about it a little more and I'd say it's a solid 4.9 so I give them a 5 star. read more

bark-bbq is absolutely delicious!!!i will tell family and friends about bark- bbq for sure!!!

I've had this place on my radar for quite awhile and we we're finally in the area recently so we decided to stop in for some BBQ. The location is easy to access and has plenty of parking. As soon as we entered the restaurant we were greeted by the staff right away, everyone was just so friendly and welcoming. Ordering was kind of cafeteria style which was cool and informal. My husband and I both got a brisket tray, which comes with cornbread and your choice of 2 sides. I chose potato salad and beans, and he chose macaroni and cheese and beans. The potato salad was probably one of the best I've ever had and was a perfect compliment to the savory brisket. The serving size of the brisket was very generous and I could only finish half of it. I thought the brisket was tender, moist, and flavorful. I loved all of the sauce options that were available as well. The cornbread was moist and delicious, and the beans were cooked perfectly. I do want to mention that the kids trays are a great deal! Some places you just aren't sure if the serving size is going to be enough especially when you have a 12 year old boy. Let me just say that the kids tray was $8 and he chose the ribs for his meat, and also got cornbread with choice of 1 side. He chose the macaroni and cheese and was completely full after eating. The only downside that we all noticed was the temp of our food was maybe lukewarm. I considered giving them 4 stars due to this but honestly the food was so good, and the service was equally as good. I would definitely go back though as it is hard to find BBQ here. read more

This place was so so good. Just moved to the South Shore from SoCal for work and had been craving BBQ but wasn't sure what I'd find out here. Came on this place accidentally and was very impressed. The chopped brisket sandwich was delicious, the meat was smoked perfectly. The spicy sauce added a good amount of flavor and spice. Mac and cheese was great. Will be checking this place out again to try other things on the menu that looked good. read more

Owners are so inviting and the food is amazing! Bark is a must try restaurant! This is my favorite bbq on the south shore hands down

The food is outstanding, especially the very moist brisket. However, the service is the real standout. I just went in with my 4 and 6 year old sons, and they treated us like family. We will absolutely be back! read more

BARK-BBQ - Pulled pork, coleslaw, hush puppies - Barbeque Near Me - Plymouth, Massachusetts

We heard this was supposed to be legit BBQ, but my husband is from Alabama and the white sauce on this menu is NOT Alabama White Sauce. Alabama White Sauce does NOT contain horseradish. Also the ramekin the sauce came in was so small, if it had been good, there is no way there was enough for the chicken in my order. We will give it one more try, but our expectations have been greatly lowered. read more

Was delicious Order got a little screwed up by Grubhub , but what we got was incredible anyway. Peanut safe and super nice owners. We will eat there again, and again, and again and then some more. Can't way to delve Draper into the menu! read more

I love real BBQ... so I had to check this little place out in Plymouth. The owner/chef and I think his wife were working and they were very nice. Place is spotless clean. I got the Memphis rib tray with collard greens and baked beans. Ribs were perfect served dry (which I like) and I added the spicy bbq sauce, which was perfect. Sides were very good. Can wait to go back and try the Brisket or one of the combo trays. Great spot!!! read more

My first visit recently. My impression was that the dining room needs some TLC - you can have utility and warmth! The staff were great! The food better!! I'll need to go back for other menu offerings - but my first time was Great! I will go back again to explore - but well worth that goal! read more

I enjoyed a very tasty brisket sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. The sandwich was filled with brisket and you can choose a sauce to add to your order. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Very clean dining area. Would definitely recommend Bark BBQ read more

Excellent food. We had the wings and brisket sandwich, staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be stopping here often

This place is LEGIT! House made sauces, sides, meats, pickles, everything. I had a pulled pork sandwich w/ a side of tots-phenomenal. Quality lean pork, smoked to perfection! Pork was pulled right in front of me, big sandwich with lots of meat and tots were awesome. Cool casual decor inside. Local beers. I love the fact that you sauce your own meat, so you can add as much or as little you want - or none at all. This is Top Notch BBQ!! read more

6 out of 5 I have been crushing cow and packing down the pig for the better part of 40 years and this is easily the best BBQ I have ever had. The sauces are amazing and the Caribbean jerk chicken is as legit as it comes. When I tell you that I would drive through Boston traffic to go to this place it is because I have. I wish we had something this good on the North Shore. Bottom line, when you are selling out of food you know you are doing something right. read more
