Ordered the three meat platter the wings and a salad for delivery. The meats wings cornbread and biscuits were very good. They forgot to deliver the salad and didn't add the bbq sauces we had ordered. So overall good food but a sub par delivery experience. read more

Came here with family in a cold spring day. We had been having challenges finding a spot to eat since we have a service animal, and when we came across this spot, we were welcomed with open arms. The service was wonderful- the two children in the group immediately received a children's menu, and the server was super kind and helpful when we had many questions about the menu. We'll certainly come back here when we're in Boston! 11/10 recommend read more

Reunion BBQ - Coffee-Cocoa Short Rib - Barbeque Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Dreadful from start to finish. I ordered a lot of food expecting to eat it for several days. In the end, I froze some, threw some out, and grumpily ate the rest. What went wrong? The ribs were fatty in a way I have never seen and had that weird gas flavor that sometimes happens with Q. The wings were burned and sad with a thin sauce in a half-sized container, which was new to me. Sides were meh, service poor eventhough I was picking up. Yeah, just not a hit for me. read more

1st time here. Trying it out for taco Tuesday. Nice atmosphere & southern chic decor. Server was good. I ordered 3 of the $4 tacos, 1 carnitas & 2 brisket. I was super excited to see brisket as an option. I also ordered the bloody Maria. My hubby did the 3 tacos 3 margaritas; Baja, brisket & carnitas for the tacos & drinks; blueberry, peach & classic. Our drinks arrived. The bloody Maria had absolutely no taste, seasoning etc very bland. Thank goodness for the salt & pepper at the table. Margaritas were just ok. Our food arrived, presentation was good. I'll have to say the carnitas was very good. The brisket was dry and not seasoned. Hubby like s the Baja one the best. Can't say we'll be back. read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon and the place was lowkey. We had the Buffalo Cauliflower and it was ok, I had the 3 meats platter which included both the brisket and pork ribs which both were also ok. The pull pork along with the mac and cheese and cornbread were good! And the star of the show was the lobster mac'n cheese! Definitely recommend. We will be back to try other dishes! The service was great too! read more

The greens were tough and could have been cut up smaller, the potatoes in the potato salad could have been cooked a little longer and the chunk of brisket should have been sliced thinner. Was not pleased read more

Sadly not the spot for bbq! Service was quick and friendly but not the most attentive, and the restaurant has kind of an industrial feel for somewhere you're eating. In general, the meat was a bit tough and dry, and the sauce was a little too thin to really go well with the food. Buffalo cauliflower wings were surprisingly crispy and hot! A good amount of spice and the ranch was perfect Pork belly buns were hard to bite into, but the flavor was great We got the two meat combo tray with pulled pork and brisket. It's a decent serving size, but the meat could've been more tender A solid location with a lot of street parking nearby, but there are certainly better bbq options in the Boston area. read more

Came here a couple weeks ago for lunch and it was great. I just did take out so I didn't spend too much time in the restaurant, but when I went there to pick up my food it wasn't too busy. There are a lot of tables inside and it's a fairly large restaurant. The hostess was very nice as well. The food itself was great. I got the lunch special and I thought the flavors were good and the bbq was tender. read more

Food was great but after waiting for 2 hours to be served... unbelievable. After reading reviews about the Mac and cheese being good, it was a huge let down. It had an acidic like taste, thought it was odd but it might've been due to the fact that it was busy. We were also yelled at by a bald guy in thick, framed glasses named Gus. So rude, if he can't handle the pressure of customer service maybe find a slower environment. Although we are grateful for Lorraine as she handled our table with professionalism and grace. That lady needs a vacation or a raise asap. read more

Had a great time dining at Reunion BBQ! The service is very friendly here and we enjoyed the food. We started with the buffalo cauliflower which had a nice kick to it. The homemade ranch and blue cheese also adds a nice touch! I got the chopped brisket sandwich which I enjoyed. My husband ordered the two meat combo with two sides. We were a bit disappointed with the portion size for this. For $27.99 we expected a much larger portion. read more

For a BBQ place in the North, I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised. At first I was wary, as you can't smell any smoke, smoked meats, or really anything upon entering. The restaurant is clean and nice, but I was expecting to smell something cooking. I ordered and the food came out fast. A little smaller portions than I was hoping for, but I didn't leave hungry. The ribs were great, the pulled pork was already sauced, and the brisket was a tad fatty. But overall I was happy. The sauce choices they give you are interesting. A North Carolina BBQ, Habanero BBQ, and a "Taxan" BBQ. The NC sauce was just straight vinegar as far as I could tell. I like vinegary sauces but I needed to use it in conjunction with the Taxan BBQ sauce which is the most "normal" of the 3. I'm not only super spicy BBQ sauce so I didn't try the Habanero one. If you want any other sauces they are unfortunately an extra 3 dollars. (Not sure the amount you receive but 3 whole dollars for a side of sauce feels extravagant). I got two sides with my platter, potato salad and BBQ beans. Both controversial sides in the South as everyone has their own twist and opinions on what is the "right" way. I can say the beans tasted more like chili than any beans I've had before. I didn't hate them. Just not what I was expecting. The potato salad was decidedly nothing like any southern potato salad I've ever had, but it was honestly one of the my favorite things. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely see myself going back, maybe trying a full rack of ribs since those were my favorite. read more

I came here during Dine Out Boston with a friend and had an amazing experience! The vibes are cute, giving Southern vibes and it wasn't too busy when we went around 4pm. Their dinner prix fixe menu was a fantastic deal! For $46, you get 1 appetizer, a bbq plate which 4 meats + 4 sides, and 1 dessert. I ended up getting: - Mac and Cheese Bites for my appetizer: this was delicious! The ranch they have pairs great with the fried mac and cheese that was phenomenally seasoned. My friend got the biscuit that came with whipped honey cinnamon butter which was DELICIOUS. This is easily a must have since the biscuit was so soft and flakey and the sweet whipped butter just melts into the warm biscuit. - BBQ chopped brisket, sliced brisket, pork ribs and pork belly with sides of crispy potatoes, cole slaw, vegetables, and potato salad for my bbq plate. The star of the sides was easily the crispy potatoes. Let me tell you, the white bbq sauce to pair with the crispy potatoes is one of the best decisions ever. The crispy potatoes are wonderfully seasoned and pair amazingly with the bbq sauce. I could eat a whole bowl of the crispy potatoes. My favorite meat was either the pork belly or the BBQ chopped brisket. The brisket was so tender and soft while the pork belly was incredibly crispy. The rib wasn't anything special since it wasn't falling off the bone and the sliced brisket was alright too. The meats also came with three bbq sauces that you could add on! I think my favorite was the vinaigrette they had. - Chocolate Trifle Cup for dessert. This was a great way to round out my meal, but I unfortunately didn't end up finishing it because I was sooo full from the bbq plate! I really liked the contrast between the soft chocolate cake and the crunchy heath cookie bites at the bottom. Overall, great experience and can't wait to come back again! Parking is a bit tough around here, so I would just recommend taking the T. Also, service was great, special shout out to my server! I forgot my apple watch on the table and she made sure to keep it safe in the back. read more

My husband and I went here for dine out Boston as we love good BBQ. For the food it was really good! We started with BBQ cauliflower wings and a biscuit which were very flavorful and that biscuit was so soft and buttery. The BBQ sampler platers with 4 meats and 4 sides were tasty and fall off the bone. However, the ribs didn't really have any flavor as opposed to the other meats on the menu we tried. The crispy potato bites...delicious!! To end we got the chocolate trifle that was nice, creamy and chocolatey. Overall very good comfort food. What killed it for us, however, was the service. We came before the dinner rush and even though it wasn't super busy it took at least 20 minutes to get our drinks and food ordered. At the end of the meal, another server ended up having to give us our check because our original server was not checking on us and we were waiting a long time for that too. For us it's not worth driving to Boston to check out again. read more

Zero of the 3 meats in my 3 meat platter had any discernible smoke flavor. No smoke ring. Ribs were unseasoned. Not underseasoned... completely unseasoned. Naked, and not in a good way. Brisket had an artificial aftertaste. Sausage was gray. Everything felt and tasted sad. This isn't barbecue. It's small servings of the meats that you would order at a barbecue restaurant, prepared by someone who has never had the real thing. Beans too sweet. Potato salad passable but boring. The highlight of the meal was the crispy potato side that my buddy got with his wings and the Alabama white sauce they came with. Should have gotten the burger. read more

Reunion BBQ - 3 Three Meat Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I want to start of by saying I've never had inherently bad barbecue, in NY we have a lot of fantastic BBQ restaurants but this? This was absolutely disgusting. The brisket (if it even was brisket) tasted like nothing and was dry as a puck, the pork tasted rotten and was mushy. The potato wedges were nice and crispy but had literally no salt. The macaroni and cheese was actually quite good and so was the horseradish sauce. The waiter had the nerve to say he tried the pork after and said it tasted fine but me and my father agreed it tasted off. They also had "bbq sauces" that were Carolina bbq sauce which was balsamic vinaigrette and another one which was just straight sour pepper juice. Waiter never apologized we had a poor experience either. Probably one of the worst things I've ever eaten. Avoid at all costs. read more

Reunion BBQ - 2 Two Meat Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Quaint, friendly, and eclectic. What a wonderful experience! As part of dine out Boston, we decided to try Reunion BBQ. Street parking is available, but can be a little tight. Reunion BBQ is a very nice spot with an upscale feel for barbecue, but also offers a bar, patio and nice upbeat music. I'm told live music is coming on Fridays. They are actively looking for performers for regular sets. Patrons were eclectic in nature from, families, couples, girl and guy groups chilling inside and on the patio, also at the bar. It seems to be a place for all ages. This is refreshing! But the food! OMG! We had the barbecue sampler plate, which included four meats and four sides, and a dessert. See the attached pictures. The food was delicious!!! Meats were tender, and the sides were all really good. The meats are served without sauce, and were excellent! Three sauces were provided. One was Texas style, one vinegary, and lastly habanero. I partook of none of that! We have added this to our repeat list. Give them a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. We definitely weren't! read more

Great and welcoming atmosphere. Amazing and friendly staff with quick service and wonderful food!!

Girlfriend and I came out for Dine out Boston, haven't had BBQ in forever, was super excited... Arrived at 5:50 with a reservation, seated right away, got our order taken at 6:20, food came out at 6:50. Service in general was very slow, many angry customers around us, we even had to share menus because the table was sat with nothing. Food was barely warm when we got it. We asked the waiter for the sauces that came with the food. He said no and argued with us until we pulled up the menu and he gave the sauces, no apology. Food tasted like it was bought ready-made from star market. Vibes were okay at best. Overall, will not be coming back and will actively tell others not to come. Insane that the place is still open. read more

Dear Reunion BBQ, I'm not leaving you a bad review. I want you to succeed. I want you to do well. You have great food. You have a great staff. BUT...you're doing everything else wrong. We came on a warm early spring Friday night at peak dinner rush and you were mostly empty. You did however have ear piercingly loud live music. The food came out shockingly fast AND it was all good. Really Good.But there's a few things you have got to change: 1. No more live music, the acoustics here are not built for that. You have brick walls buddy. 2. Turn down the interrogation lights. It's too bright in here for human eyes. 3. You are sorely understaffed. You need a bar back, a floor manager and a busser. Quick before you lose these good people who are working hard. 4. Add Corn Bread to the menu. Everything else was perfect. You just need sone minor changes and this place will be amazing. Please don't sleep on these things. read more

Reunion BBQ - Friday night 9:16pm - Barbeque Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Totally generic space painted dark grey, feels more like a battleship than a BBQ joint, thr few decorations strewn around (steer heads, small rope coils that look like exposed electric wiring ) are far too small for the space) and the mottled grey (slippery!) floors needs to be wood to warm things up. (Pretty sure masa before had had wood floors). Menu is printed in tiny boring type and is both hard to read and lacks any style. Basically the place has no personality whatsoever Prices are not bad and you get the normal range of meats available in trays or sandwiches. Nothing innovative here, but the food is actually very good, and prices reasonable I had the dry-rubbed wings, which were meaty and nicely cooked - 8 out of 10. The biscuit was a little crispy outside and fluffy inside. Very good. For a main course I has a two-meet platter that comes wirh two sides, and some Pickles and onions. I had pork belly, which was soft and well cooked and delicious, and the sliced brisket was also very good. Mac and cheese and bbq beans were both good versions of those staples. If you are familiar with the Boston BBQ scene, this place is better than The Smokehouse but not quite as great as Sweet Cheek's - which is pretty high praise. Service was also capable, helpful, and friendly with everything explained, questions asked and refills offered. Just a star off for the off-putting lack of atmosphere and personality. read more

Reunion BBQ Feast! Pork Belly Buns, Wings, and a Single Biscuit to kick things off. For the main course, we've got the 3 Meat Combo: Pulled Pork, Pork Ribs, and Sliced Prime Beef with a side of Mac & Cheese. Don't forget to save room for dessert - their decadent Chocolate Trifle. And wash it all down with their signature cocktails: Paloma Roja with tequila, hibiscus syrup, and grapefruit soda, or the Tropical Playa with Bacardi coconut, Cazadores, and pineapple.

My first time ordering delivery from Reunion BBQ. My overall opinion is "disappointment ". Ordered 2 lunch specials and 2 desserts. Brisket was perfect. Ribs were tough, under cooked. The side dishes were sparse to say the least. All the containers were under filled. Mac n cheese - macaroni and tasteless cheese sauce. Potato salad was potatoes and just amayo/ mustard mix . Collard Greens I must admit we're good...not filled with stems. Just the portion size was underwhelming. As for the desserts the blueberry cobbler was all blueberry no cobbler. The Banana Pudding was all LOOSE banana pudding and , useless whipped cream and NO as in Zero VANILLA WAFERS. I don't think the price of the Order was outrageous. $65 total. But the product should be so much better These are simple comfort foods, they just deserve more attention. Will definitely not order delivery again from there. I may try dining in to see if things are a bit better. read more

First time trying this spot May 24, 23 ordered dinner for work tonight. I ordered the BBQ Chopped Prime Brisket with side of Mac & cheese, Collard Greens, BBQ Beans! The prime brisket was marinated deliciously and was so tender freshly cooked and to die for!!! The bbq sauce tasty! The Mac & cheese was perfect cooked not over cooked, breadcrumbs tasted fresh really cheesy and a good balance not salty. Collard greens where fresh and excellent I ate all of them! The Bbq beans where delicious I love baked beans and these beans hit the spot! For dessert I got Banana Bread French Toast it was enormous whipped cream fresh sliced, bananas with a syrup on it, it was warm moist and so so GOOD! read more

We were staying close to the restaurant when we wanted a quick bite to pick up for lunch. I submitted an order online and went in to pick it up. When I went to the restaurant it wasn't too busy but had a very fun vibe with a full bar. The person at the front was very friendly and when he checked on my order he said it would be a few more minutes. We ordered the farmhouse salad, chopped salad, pulled pork sandwich, and crispy pork belly BLT. Everything was really tasty and would definitely consider ordering the same if we ever go back. read more

Already reviewed when I tried this the first time but I played it safe with pulled pork... since it was good I got a half rack of ribs this week and DAMN they were good. I don't like sauce and mess so I just did dry BBQ with no sauce and it was delicious. Service was fast and the meat was perfect. read more

Indifference was the theme of the night at Reunion BBQ on Saturday night, March 1. No one on the staff seemed to be at all concerned about anything. - When we asked questions about the food while ordering, our waiter didn't know the answers and did not seek them out. - When we asked about timing -- when the food would come out after waiting more than an hour -- we got the same indifference. (We allotted an hour & 45 minutes for dinner because we had theater tickets.) - When our food arrived, our orders were wrong. They sent us the wrong meats and sides. We did not speak up because we had waited so long that we had no time to eat before our show. I hate trashing out local businesses, but this was a disappointing experience all the way around. read more

Note: My review only pertains to the happy hour dollar wings and $5 margaritas and beer. My friends and I were there in a Monday evening to celebrate a birthday. It was pretty empty, at the end of the night, there were 2 groups and a couple people at the bar. The wings weren't skin and bone and are pretty good considering they're a dollar each. Out of the 3 flavors: dry rub, buffalo, hot honey, the hot honey was the best, then buffalo, then dry rub. The dry rub was pretty flavorless. The margaritas were also pretty worth it, they were better than I expected. You could taste the alcohol, it wasn't just juice. No choice of flavor, but it's $5. You also can't choose the beer, but you get a half pint (ish) for $5 and it was fine. There were only 1-2 servers on the floor so it did feel like he was stretched pretty thin. read more

The pulled pork belly was that's my number 1 recommendation for sure. I'm visiting from out of town and will definitely be back when I'm back in Boston.
