    We had lunch at Sweet Cheeks on Father's Day before the Red Sox game. Cool spot, nice atmosphere inside and out. I had Sliced Brisket, Pulled Pork, coleslaw, and potato salad. We also had a bucket of biscuits with butter and strawberry jam. Everything was outstanding. The brisket I think rivals some of the best I have had in Austin TX. I would definitely come back here.

    We went to this place after the Sox game. Reservations were relatively easy to get. Atmosphere is casual, and the place gets busy and loud at peak hours, but it's a cool-looking spot. Our host and server were extremely nice and attentive, which really made the biggest impact on our experience. We ordered the bucket of biscuits appetizer, which is a popular item and a big standout: biscuits were fresh and warm, right out of the oven, and outstandingly good. The entrees were pretty good overall - I personally prefer ribs, and found them to be pretty tasty. The sliced brisket, another popular order, was also quite good with their homemade sauce.

    While Sweet Cheeks Q hasn't been around for quite as long as Fenway Park, it's still an institution! The barbecue here is just plain amazing. Our table of four had 4 amazing lunches including platters with tender sliced brisket, pork belly, pulled pork and pulled chicken, and fried chicken sandwich. Everyone raved about their meals! The biscuits are amazing and someday I won't end the meal stuffed so that we can have one of theie amazing desserts. The decor is classic BBQ joint with some huge tables for groups, big TVs, plus quite a number of outside tables. The staff was pretty busy, just what you'd expect on a Saturday afternoon, plus they were dealing with internet problems, but they performed well in spite of everything. The hostess did a super job helping me get a table reserved over the phone as well.

    Absolutely amazing place for BBQ in the Fenway area, let alone Boston. I am in complete regret that I haven't tried this place sooner. My girlfriend and I stopped by for lunch on a Saturday without reservations, and were seated immediately. We started off the feast with some freshly baked biscuits and butter-- WOW. A must have for the table. They were so soft inside, crispy on the outside, and paired so well with the salted butter. For our entrees, we each ordered a BBQ meat and picked two sides. My girlfriend ordered the pulled chicken with potato salad and coleslaw. I ordered the St. Louis dry rub style ribs, Mac & cheese, and BBQ baked beans. The entrees were also WOW. Double WOW for the two, actually. My girlfriend's chicken was perfectly cooked and tender, and her potato salad was incredible. Some of the best I've had, comparable to the one you find at the Cape. The Coleslaw was okay objectively (though I've never been a huge fan), but was unique in its presentation, the veggies were chopped very largely. For my entree, the STL ribs were to die for, and fell off the bone seamlessly. The Mac & cheese was also great, super flavorful, cheesy, and I loved the breadcrumbs. The BBQ beans were also super great, and had chunks of pulled pork which were absolutely delicious. The entire meal was absolutely amazing, and I'd recommend for everyone to come here for BBQ if you're in the Fenway area!

    Wow. Just wow. Awesome food. It's a fun atmosphere because it's right near the ballpark and you can sit inside or outside. We opted for inside and it was a bit loud, but nothing bad. The service was great. The waitress gave great recommendations and they didn't disappoint. All the choices were spot on and I would definitely recommend it!!

    When you live in RI, are binge watching Tournament of Champions and are heading to Boston... you head to Sweet Cheeks Q! Tiffani Faison's BBQ joint is the real deal. First off, sheik country vibe. LARGE mason jars of sweet tea (which were pretty tasty) and the Dolly Parton themed bathroom with a sticker machine?! Yes! Tiffani has won me over. Also- super cool that the TOC season 3 belt is here and on display. Then the food- The biscuits are large and in charge! Well worth getting and trying that honey butter. The pork belly was tasty but the real winner was the fried chicken! Super crispy but moist! Delicious! The pickles- what do they do to them? LOVED THEM! (We guess that there was mustard seed on them?) The mac and cheese was ok and the broccolini cheese casserole was tasty! Bottomline- I want to go back and try more on the menu. True score: 4.5 SHOUT OUT to our waiter Stevie- Super funny and informative! Thanks for a great visit!

    The shining star on the menu - homemade biscuits with honey butter and strawberry jam.

    You might be asking why someone from Texas would try BBQ in Boston. After going there and spending $$$, I asked myself the same thing. I really wanted to like the food. We tried the pulled chicken, pulled pork, pork belly, macaroni and cheese, fried okra and baked beans. The good: -Mac and cheese - on point and super creamy -Pork belly - tender and flavorful -Biscuits - these were AMAZING! I would literally go back and just order the biscuits. Super fluffy and yummy The bad - everything else. The meats lacked flavor and smoke and the okra was still slimy.

    Brisket with Baked Potato and Farm Salad!
    M Y.

    Have been here a few times now and have ordered with lots of stuff to share with fam, and also individual meals - first time coming here was meh, a bit pricey sadly and the sides were okay (got mac and cheese, potato salad, beans and butternut squash - I did really like this one). Second time was better - got the brisket which was super tender, and the farm salad/baked potato as sides both were delicious. The bottled sauces are also a good addition, I like to mix the small and large bbq bottles to make a medium spicy sauce. Also just keep in mind the additional fee for employees - it is not brought up until the check comes out and you'll see it as an additional line, on top of normal tip! Great service, would probably go back!

    Sliced Brisket with Mac n cheese and broccoli cheese casserole
    Jon Z.

    Overall I liked Sweet Cheeks! The sliced brisket was very solid, and I also got the Mac n cheese and broccoli casserole. I've never had broccoli cheese casserole like this, but I thought it was very tasty. The Mac tasted good, but it was quite liquidy and soupy which I wasn't a fan of. We also got the biscuits which are amazing--very soft and flaky with delicious honey butter. This is definitely some of the better food I've had in Boston, and would recommend it to others!

    The food is good! The meat is flavored well and the sides are delicious. All the sandwiches come with pickles and onions on the side. I didn't have any drinks but they looked creative. While tasty, I believe it is slightly overpriced. Overall, the service is quick and receptive and the ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and chill.

    The service was great, the appetizers were pretty decent, huge biscuits, great nachos. Now let's talk about the main attractions, the barbecue. I had the pork ribs and the brisket. This is a Texas style restaurant so the brisket should be the signature dish, but it was disappointing. It was a bit dry but lacked seasoning and smoke. I can deal with a lack of smoke, but if I have to ask for salt and pepper AND barbecue sauce, then there is an issue. The ribs did have a dry rub but it lacked salt so it was out of balance. It was better with barbecue sauce but not my favorite. I believe barbecue should stand on it's own before the sauce. I will give them another try because it could have just been a bad batch.

    I don't like giving bad reviews. I eat and have eaten at most barbecue spots In Massachusetts and beyond . Fireflies Marlborough , Pig beach South Boston , All Blue Ribbon locations , all Smoke Shop locations, BT 's in Worcester and Sturbridge, Red bones Somerville , Commonwealth bbq in Wrentham , Tennessee's locations. Hadn't tried Sweet Cheeks as of yet as past times the parking was difficult. Ordered the 36 dollar 3 course special that ended up as 42.00 with add on charges .. extra dollar for spring roll, 2.00 more brisket, 3.00 'more for ribs. Initial impression is that this place is tired looking and needs cleaning up. But, I'm ok with nasty environment if the bbq is good as that is all that matters. Spring rolls were awful and sauce they came with was more awful and I think ruined my stomach for 2nd course. See the pics of the second course. Few small dried overcooked brisket slices, one was inedible. The ribs again small 4 ribs dry, salty, . Tender but no smoke flavors , then I saw was only 1 bottle of bbq sauce on counter... vs multiple flavors at all other bbq restaurants I visit. Then I saw a watery bottle not labeled that must be the vinegar bbq sauce... I thought too watery to be a sauce even ad Carolina style . The small bottle of the hot sauce not what I want on barbecue . I saw on menu I could order more sauces for 3 bucks each? WTF ... now I must buy my sauce? Side of Mac and cheese came with a crushed up ritz cracker on it? No taste to Mac and cheese ... Mac needed a smoke flavor or a powerful Flavor multi cheese or how about butter toast the cracker crumbs for flavor or ... as was just lame small portion. Give the chef a road trip to BT's to try their Mac and cheese with flavors at BT's The broccoli casserole side the same... no taste... just smashed up broccoli I something. I saw on fibers and drives interview with owner years ago it looked... said was her mother's recipe...I'd re-visit this as something missing... Both sides were cold as were the ribs. The desert was banana cream pudding ... I was expecting the picture on menu with the vanilla wafers. Instead it comes in Glass jar all flavorless cream ... I tasted no banana except 3 small pieces of 1 slice banana quartered into 4 qtr. cubes ...see picture... no spoon with it? Waitress brings the knives and forks can for me to I guess choose a utensil... no spoons .. ate with fork? Then receipt comes with added kitchen charge included to reward the kitchen for this wonderful awful meal they prepared and served? WTF again... over sixty bucks for this... no thank you again. I hurried home to lie down as honestly felt sick and assuming the overcooked egg rolls with minimal ingredients with nasty sauce started me off bad. The famous biscuit they talk about on menu ...there should be one on each meal tray as part of meal to at least try to promote a positive memory.... they charge per biscuit 4.50 and 3 bucks extra for Jam...lol... 7.50 for a biscuit and jam... how many ounces jam for 3.00... BYOJ, BYO sauce too. Sorry, no need to return ... mid sixties bucks for that meal not warranted. Mida next door was my 2nd choice... my bad not going Mida

    The interior is pretty nice, very wide bar area, outdoor seating, and inside seating. Our bar tender was pretty nice and made us some good dirty Shirley's. For food, we got wings and Mac and cheese. It's strange that you can't do a mix and match of the wing flavors. Most wing places I've been to allows a mix and match. The wings were crispy and juicy. The Mac and cheese was very heavy on the mustardy taste but it was still very good. The bread crumbs are always a nice addition. I feel the prices and quality of food could have been better though.

    They are!

    No. They are a BBQ pork/chicken restaurant. They have vegetable sides that would include dairy or animal byproducts in them.

    Are all sauces gluten free?

    Some are some are not all the fruits ones are

    What is the closest subway stop to Sweet Cheeks?

    Fenway t stop-3 minute walk

    Someone told me they served halal food,is this true?

    I've been to Sweet Cheeks several times and have never seen halal food there nor have I seen it on the menu, unless it's something they prepare on request.

    Is the big cheeks tray good for 2 people?

    I'd say it's a comfortable meal for two with moderate appetites, especially if you get a bucket of biscuits to start (and really, that's a requirement).
