    Ribs, Burned Ends, Mac and Cheese, and Collard Greens
    Chris B.

    Ended up for Dinner with good Friends @tennesseesbbqframingham, I got the Special with Ribs....don't get me started with them, they were so good, and Burned Ends, they were not bad, my 2 Sides were Mac and Cheese, Cornbread, and Collard Greens, they were great

    Really good BBQ. This is pretty much the kind of place you find all over the South: unassuming, relaxed, and delicious. The food comes out fast, it's packed with flavor, and the price isn't unreasonable given the volume of food. I was a particular fan of the brisket and the collard greens, but everything was good. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area.

    Charlotte was very nice very sweet. Helped us with our orders every single time. She's very polite. The food service was awesome. The place was very comfortable. We will be back again.

    I have had real BBQ in Tennessee and this ain't it. Flavors were ok but lacking few key things. First off the brisket was so dry. It looked old and almost like a dried up pork chop instead of fresh cut brisket. The smoked wings seemed like could have used some extra time in smoker. The Mac and cheese and potatoe were beyond basic. The ribs, mashed potatoes and slaw were on point and saved the day from a complete let down. Unfortunately this was a one and done for me.

    This place seems to continue to be a hidden gem in Framingham. Despite prices increasing everywhere else over the years, Tennessee's prices are still extremely reasonable. The food comes out almost instantly and it is always solid. Their sides are great, their barbecue is consistently tasty, the people working there are nice and welcoming, and the vibe is the same as it was back when I grew up in the area.

    Winner, winner, porky dinner. The Piggy Party special, with a generous amount of pulled pork, smoked sausage, and 2 rib bones, was really good. I was pressed for time during lunch, but my order was ready as fast as any drive through fast food chain. Ample sides of macaroni and cheese, moist corn bread, and sweet and tangy cucumber salad rounded out this meal that was too much food for one person. Will definitely return and would order this again.

    Exceptional BBQ especially for this area. I love the combos, definitely try the Memphis style ribs if you like your pork sweet like me! They cook to order well, so be patient because it's BBQ and you'll be met with great service. Standard interior but with a lot of great seating options if you are going solo. The staff are beyond nice here! Be generous to them, I've been coming here for over a decade so it's definitely sentimental to me.

    Cute interior decor

    Food was good. Atmosphere is really cute but dang it looked like this place needs a deep clean. Ripped furniture, peeling paint, sticky floors. The girl who took our order did the minimum her job required. If they would take some time to clean up the original shine of this place, it could raise to 5 stars.

    Ribs are decent... place is tired and all BBC worn seats, floors , disgusting doors etc... needs a full remodel ... hasn't changed from original opening 30 years ago? Need more barbecue choices in area...

    My husband couldn't finish his meal, the brisket was terrible!

    My husband and I love barbecue and we were hope this place would live up to its name. It didn't. The food was mediocre at best. The hostess was a sweetheart and the place has a nice "barbecue" atmosphere. But we're not coming back here for the food.

    Just blah.

    This is among the worst BBQ that I've had which didn't come out of a plastic tub at the grocery store. I came in on a Saturday afternoon, so one would think everything would be nice and fresh. In actuality, I got small shreds of BBQ pork literally dripping in grease and clearly scooped out of the bottom of a pan or crockpot where they had been sitting all day. Totally unacceptable for 'real BBQ' ... nothing about this was real, unless you consider it a 'real shame' to the BBQ name. The mac and cheese tasted fresh from the box and pre-made from a powdery mix vs. homemade. There was no melty/drippy cheese. It tasted EXACTLY like Kraft Mac & Cheese from the box, which had been placed under a heat lamp for hours and hours until it dried out. Come on ... a box of mac & cheese is 99 cents at the grocery store and makes 8 portions in the sizes you dish out. How can you serve dry, old mac and cheese to people when making a fresh batch is so cheap? Total laziness. Back to the BBQ ... this was a mushy mess. REAL BBQ (or even somewhat decent BBQ) is moist shreds of pork or brisket. It's hard to keep BBQ from drying out, which is why it's usually made in waves vs. making big batches and kept under heat lamps. They douse their BBQ in BBQ sauce BEFORE it hits the bun so it doesn't dry out when sitting all day. This means you don't get to choose the BBQ sauce ... it's just there. Also, as the meat loses its moisture into this mess of meat and sauce, it begins to fall apart and get greasy. There was no smokey taste. No big pieces to chew ... you could literally suck up the meat in the sandwich with a straw. The bun was a common 99 cent for 8 supermarket bun. It was absolutely evident that no care, home cooking or expertise had gone into the preparation of what they are serving. At one time ... going back at least 10 years ... this place served slightly above mediocre BBQ. There was always a line at the counter. Now it's just going through the motions and almost empty on a weekend lunch. The sauce ... Kraft or Bullseye brand has more flavor. I tried all 3 sauces and they all tasted the same. Sugary ketchup squirted from a big vat. Clearly this shop has called it in and decided to just 'get by' based on location alone as no care goes into the food here. Overly greasy, mass-produced sugary sauce saturated junk is what this is. Sorry but I literally would rather throw $11 away than spend it on what I got here again.

The service at the restaurant is great with the servers being incredibly attentive. To start us off, we were given a bowl of cheese bread - these were addictive and super tasty! I had to control myself and turn down the offer of another round because I didn't want to get too full on bread alone. As for the meat, servers make rounds around the dining room with various grilled meats that they cut off for you right at the table. They come by every few minutes so you will never be left waiting long. My personal favorite was the top sirloin! I do wish there were some more exotic options, such as chicken gizzards / hearts as I've had at other Brazilian restaurants. The buffet area had some good dishes. I appreciated the salad section and side dishes to help offset the heaviness of the meat. I do wish that the buffet area was larger and had more variety, but overall I was happy with my food. I did feel that the restaurant was a bit expensive and was a little disappointed to see that there were no free dessert offerings included in the buffet price. I would come back but only for truly special occasions as it was pricer than other AYCE places I've been.

The portions are really large and the food was so tasty. The 3 plates we ordered were: The big Nyash - $19.99 (Jollof rice, fried plantain, coleslaw, and smoked beef ribs) - the smoked beef ribs were so incredibly soft, juicy, and flavorful. They actually almost tasted like wagyu - they were so juicy, rich, and fatty with a good portion of mean on the bone as well. It was really melt in your mouth. The fried plantain was also nice and sweet, and the jollof rice was spicy and flavorful. I am not sure if the coleslaw was correct in our order though, since it seemed like the collard greens in the other two plates we ordered. Custom plate - $15.99 (Smoked pork ribs, jollof rice, beans, and collard greens) - the smoked ribs were very meaty and full of porky flavor, but the beans in this were to die for! They had a full on meaty and salty flavor to them - they were extremely hearty and flavorful. The rice and greens were the same as the other plates, but very very good as well! Custom plate - $15.99 (Jerk chicken, rice and peas, fried plantain, and collard greens) - the chicken was a little spicy and still very moist, which was great. It was also nice to have the rice and peas which were not spicy at all compared to the jollof rice on the other two plates. The plantains and greens were great like the other plates. The amount of food you get for the price is amazing.
