Tried the "Good For Your Bum" rib combo. 1/2 a rack of ribs, coleslaw, cornbread and a side of chili. The ribs were great, smokey, tender with a nice burn coat. My only issue was the chili, I love hot and spicy chili but my definition of spicy is not over doing the cumin and chilly powder. That's all you taste when you eat it. Could have used a little my meat and a little less tomato sauce. Besides that everything on the menu looked great and looking forward to going back and trying the brisket. read more

Joffs Backyard Grill - The "Good For Your Bum" rib combo. - Barbeque Near Me - Bellingham, Massachusetts

I really don't know what I expected from bbq in Massachusetts. I got the pulled pork sandwich with cheddar. It tasted like something a school cafeteria would give. read more

Good BBQ, enjoyed the ribs, wings and coleslaw. First visit, had takeout with a long drive home so did was a little cold. Still try y again and look forward to a visit once open again for indoor seating. read more

Great food and awesome service. All portions are large and all food is amazing. Can't go wrong with the options.

Been coming here for years! Best pulled pork and slaw sandwich north of the Mason Dixon Line! Oh yea, their other stuff is good too. Ribs are fall off the bone and delicious and add a side plate f hand cut fries or onion rings and you're golden. New jalapeño poppers I'll trying for the first time. More to follow! Poppers not so hot....still, the rest makes it worth the visit. read more

Been to Joff's countless times over the years and I'm never disappointed. They always have delicious food and incredible service! The Joff's Juicy and the sweet potato fries are DELICIOUS!! Really wonderful family-owned business. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect. It's a small shop and we were the only ones there. But the guys were friendly and the food was very tasty. The hot dog, burger, and ribs were gone in a flash. Their rice was great too--could eat a bowl of just that. Looking to go back soon. read more

This place is excellent! Quality food quality service. The owners daughter is very friendly and make sure everything was perfect.

This is some of the best BBQ around. The ribs fall off the bone. The cornbread is moist and has real corn. It is the best cornbread I have ever had. We ordered ribs and cornbread for a get together and everyone asked us for the name of the place. We had a lot of food leftover and offered people to take some home. They fought over the cornbread!! The place is very accommodating to take out orders. Everyone is respectful and nice. I highly recommend that you try Joff's. read more

Excellent Wings we often bring them to friends and family! Great staple for the neighborhood.

Great looking restaurant. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Food was good and fresh. Definitely a 4 star for the area but definitely not Memphis BBQ. Tried ribs and chili. Probably should have had one of their hamburgers which did sound good. Would try this restaurant again. read more

Always lived Joffs Buffalo chicken salad. Tonight I ordered one grilled chicken and one crispy. Usually very good even though they screw up our order every time. Tonight was no exception. However this time they never apologized and didn't want to correct their mistake until we insisted. Got home, opened it and all I got was chicken, lettuce and hardly any blue cheese. Very disappointed in the salad and service!! read more

Best kept secret in Bellingham. Absolutely delicious grilled smoked ribs, wings and pulled pork to die for.

Every single time we order ribs at Joff's, we are never disappointed! Super nice staff, and delicious food.

First time visit and I we got steak tips, mashed, brisket, StL ribs, mac n cheese and cornbread. The brisket was simply amazing and I will give them that with no issues. The StL ribs were ok (I'm from StL) and they didn't even compare to my moms home cooked ribs. The cornbread had a little twist in which it was cinnamon sugar topped and came with honey butter and it was amazing. I wished the butter want still hard though because I could spread it on the cornbread which was served room temperature. The steak tips were not cooked right and didn't taste really good. The BBQ sauces were ok and I've had better and that would be main reason for 4 stars. Regardless I would go again without hesitation and order mac n cheese as a full meal with some type of meat topping. read more

Hands down best wings! First time here today and very impressed. Wings, ribs and burger were out of this world! Coming from south Texas I need some tasty ribs, and finally found them read more

The best wings in the area by far! The ribs and bbq are great. Try the fried garlic parmesan wings. You'll never go anywhere else again!

I just don't know what happened to this place. I got a buger to go and it was inedible. I don't know if they used and old patty, messed op the spices, or whatever - it was awful. The wings once made me drool, but lately every time I get them, they are dried out and clearly were sitting under a heat lamp. Such a shame; I really like this place, but I think this will be my last visit. read more

Really wanted to get wings so we decided to order from this place. HUGE MISTAKE! The wings were over cooked and not very flavorful. The cheese fries were hard, all stuck together & no cheese on them. The honey chicken wrap was basically a salad burrito, no chicken in it. Spent about $60 at this place and it was such a waste of money. Never ordering from here again. read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant. There are so few good BBQ restaurants around, and after ordering dinner there Friday, Joff's will not be claiming that title anytime soon. The prices are on the higher side but if it's good BBQ it's worth it. Unfortunately the food here just isn't worth it. There is no care in quality or even presentation, one of the items ordered, a chicken wrap sandwich was drenched in water like liquid, so much so that we opened the foil wrapper and poured almost 6 ounces of liquid out into a measuring cup! That's almost enough to make it a bowl of soup! The wrap was Completely soaked and not even edible. The rest of the items in the order were also poorly prepared, not as requested or just plain shouldn't have been served to begin with, (frozen remade onion rings overcooked and burnt). Almost $80 for a meal that was simply thrown away. Next time I'll spend another 15 minutes and drive to Commonwealth BBQ in Wrentham for the best BBQ I've found in the area. read more

Kinda hit or miss. The food is bbq so the place is smokey and could use a little more cleaning ... tables are sticky. Food is acceptable.. not there fault I am too cheap to branch out past the as-big-as-your-head hotdogs. We always get the sweet potato fries because they are wicked good. My son says pulled pork is not fantastic but not the worst...not real saucy Once we waited 45 mins while everyone else got there food. Not sure what happened there. We didn't go back for years. Finally did go back but there was a metal chain piece in my hot dog roll... my kids encouraged me to tell the guy at the front .. I still have the gift card they have me to comp my meal...someday I will try again...someday... read more

I tried Joff's for the first time a couple of days ago (9/13/10). Frankly I was very disappointed with the quality of the food there. I ordered eight "hot" wings with the half slab meal. I also purchased a pint of their pulled pork. Once I get back home and opened the wings there were eight dried up wings on the box with a spattering of what looked like Red Hot tabasco sauce on them. A couple of bites confirmed that. Aweful. Overcooked and dry. I am glad that it was a small order. The ribs followed suit. Dry and bland and the cornbread was a tiny two inch by two inch square which tasted like a plain piece of bread. No flavor and dry. Their menu touts that the it comes with extra sauce but they give you this tiny cup with barely enough for two ribs. The pulled pork was ok but I found myself pulling grissle out of the meat. I just don't understand why the owners of these places hire people that really have no food preparation experience. My first impression before ordering my takeout was the lack of any supervisor on any aspect with the restaurant. The hostess taking the orders was busy talking with her friends while patrons orders sat at the prep window for a least ten minutes getting cold. There were three couples seated waiting for their order and the cooks worked without any due diligence to get the orders out quickly. I waited for at least fifteen minutes for my order and my food was dry. The place looked like it really needed a good cleaning. The walls were dingy and there was grease covered dust along the ceilings in the dining area. If you live in the Metrowest area and receive one of their sale fliers don't be fooled for the pictures. I have had better ribs at the 99 and they are bad. read more

What I got was the Pulled Pork sandwich, a side of Cornbread, and a small fries. First, I thought the sandwich was going to be the average size of your normal bulkie type rolls, but this sandwich was very large. It certainly filled me up (tasted wonderful, just like they make in the south) and I couldn't finish the fries, but I wanted to. I thought it was interesting how they cooked the fries as they were much darker than your typical fry, but very good still. The cornbread was amazing in my opinion. I found this place just driving by. I've worked in Franklin for just over a year and never ventured into Bellingham, but I wish I had. I'll definitely be coming back for more over the summer. Btw, I don't know why it says they don't take credit cards, but they do cuz I paid with one. read more

Ordered wings before the game today Bucket of Wings with half hot half garlic honey fire roasted. These are the best wings around. The dry rub and grill flavor was very well done, they sauced them up perfectly, and the chicken tasted fresh with a good amount of meat on them, not like the frozen kind that have a weird taste. Overall, loved the wings and will definitely be back read more

Place is awesome. Amazing chili great wings fresh baked cornbread. Pulled pork is so good and burgers are top notch. Staff is extremely friendly. Don't know why this place has bad reviews as they are totally off the mark. I will continue to come here once a week! read more

Joffs Backyard Grill - Menu - Barbeque Near Me - Bellingham, Massachusetts

Disappointment. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity for someone to appear at the register to take my order (pork butt burger and hand cut fries), I waited another 15 minutes for my order to appear, even though I came at an off peak time and the one other person that was in the restaurant already had her order. The pork butt burger was large but had a really soggy bun that fell apart and oozed a combo of mayo and grease. The fries were worse, completely soggy and limp having sat in fryer oil too long and I ended up throwing them out. Between the above average prices, negligent service and flavor that is just average, overall this place is 2.5 stars tops. If I'm in the area, I might try out the wings which coworkers have told me are pretty good, but I'm not going out of my way to revisit. read more

Joff's is okay in my book. When you first pull up, it does not look too exciting, but it really is a decent joint. The picnic benches inside are a nice touch. The pulled pork is tasty. The french fries are awesome! The wings are where it is at! Spicy in all the right ways, just enough sauce to coat your delicate little fingers, but not drip down your arm. The prices are good, and I recommend bringing a friend and sharing! The portions are large! read more

I've had just about everything on the menu (except for the veggie burger) and have yet to be disappointed by anything. The quality is consistently excellent and the prices are reasonable. All the staff are friendly and make the whole meal that much more enjoyable. They go out of their way to make sure you get what you want. The chili-cheese dog has to be experienced. Words do not do it justice. Just don't think you're getting a regular hot dog and order two because you usually eat two dogs. This is like the Saturn V Rocket of chili-cheese dogs. The burger selection is jaw-dropping and the burgers themselves almost require you to unhinge that jaw they are so stacked. Personal favs include the American Bleu Burger, Canadian Banquet Burger and the Joff's Stacked Burger. The salads are also top notched. I had a chicken chopped salad for lunch today which was great. The tenderloin salads are also amazing. I could go on but you get the picture. This is a must-eat place. read more

We love Joffs! We've been ordering here for almost 3 years. My go-to is the Grilled Ranch-House Chicken Sandwich, and The Chili Cheese Fries! The Chicken Sandwich is huge!! My Boyfriend loves the Chicken Wings, and Ribs, and my Daughter is obsessed with the Ribs, and Chili Cheese Fries! The prices are very reasonable, and the food is always Amazing! The Staff is always friendly and inviting. This will always be one of my Favorite places! Keep up the Great work! read more

BBQ sauce was very sweet, would have preferred to be able to pick our own sauce. The BBQ pulled pork was tasty, fries delicious, ribs tender and juicy. Staff was very friendly, will return. Healthy portions and affordable prices. read more

Joffs Backyard Grill - BBQ pork sandwich, ribs & fries - Barbeque Near Me - Bellingham, Massachusetts

Hot Dog review only Large hot dog....small flavor. I think this was a Bar-S dog which are notoriously bland. Yes the dog is big, but there is more quantity here than quality. $9+ for a chili dog. If they used a quality dog (Pearl for example) and used fresh grated cheese rather than the pre-shredded 5# bag stock then they'd have something here. read more

I had my three kids with me. We were treated nicely. Ordered a full rack, ccfries, side salad and a burger. The ribs were just right as well as the sauce. I will definitely be back. read more

See all

Been eating here since they first opened I think about 15 years ago, i love it, nothing has changed too much other than prices. I do wish they still had the sausages though those were the best. Burgers tend to run on the greasier side so the bun doesn't last but if you flip it upside down the top bun will last longer because it's thicker. I do also wish they had online ordering, I just hate talking on the phone because of my hearing loss, but overall, Joffs is a fantastic establishment and I'm glad they've lasted. read more

Very tasty food! Their signature seems to be the "good for your butt" rib combo, so I jumped in. The root beer bbq glaze is sweet and tangy, but not overly sweet. It's also not dripping in sauce, a cuip of extra sauce is provided on the side, of which I used most of. The slaw was very good, fresh and not soaking wet, but a bit too sweet. The chili is good as well, though the hotness does seem to come from a heavy hand with certain spices. The cornbread was really good and not dry. My friend was very happy with his honey garlic wings and handcut fries. I'll certainly stop in at Joff's again to try a new dish. read more

I'm a Joff's loyalist, and they've given me every reason to be one. Their Bartkus Bucket (wings, fries, onion rings) has become a staple of my Super Bowl parties since I moved back to the area in 2016. With reasonable prices, delicious grilled wings available in several flavors, I HIGHLY recommend putting Joff's atop your list of local restaurants. read more

Oh Joff's ... I HEART YOU! You are certainly one of my favorite takeout places around. Your honey garlic boneless wings are TDF, and your ranch-house fries make me drool. Another bonus... your menu brings out my inner 7 year old.. "Good for Your Bum Chili" ... hehehehe There is only one drawback about Joff's .. it's super smokey inside due to the kitchen. I wouldn't have a sit-down dinner there, only takeout.. and it tends to be on the pricier side for takeout (so I guess that's two drawbacks..hmm). read more

This is my favorite lunch place near my office. The burgers are excellent - thick, juicy and perfectly seasoned. I've never had to add salt and/or pepper to any of my burgers. Try the American Bleu Burger - my favorite. And the wings - oh my gawd, the wings! I'd kill to know what the spice is that they use on the fire-roasted wings, which blends perfectly with their hot sauce. read more

First time ordering and they were able to accommodate even though New Years Eve. Ended up getting 150 bone in (classic medium, face slapping, and fire roasted BBQ, honey garlic and garlic parmesan). The bone in garlic parmesan was DEFINITELY my favorite! Great service and super accommodating! read more

I was disappointed. I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs with coleslaw and cornbread. The coleslaw was the only good part of the meal. The main event, ribs, is not worth writing home about. The ribs were fatty and the meat was bland. The cornbread is served cold and isn't that good. I did like the BBQ sauce. They just don't taste smoked, cooked with charcoal, or any type of BBQ. They taste plain grilled. Cashier was friendly. read more

I've only ever gotten takeout from here, but I really like this place. The burgers and sandwiches are really tasty, and they make some killer fries (ranch house version). The prices are great. The folks who work there are friendly. When I'm in the area, and craving a burger, this is the place I go. read more
