Redbones

Pros: Delicious Barbecue, mouth-watering sides, loads of great beer.
Cons: Crowded on weekends.

Boston has a secret. Who would have believed that Beantown has a restaurant that serves some of the best barbecue in the country? It does, and Redbones is it. Tucked away on a side street off Davis Square in Somerville, Redbones has great food,...

Pros: ribs, ribs, ribs
Cons: not enough ribs for me

I have been a student at Brandeis for three years now and I had never even heard of Redbones until this semester when one of my suitemates began extolling the virtues of this veritable cornucopia of BBQ goodness. He had taken two of my suitemates to...

Pros: Great Barbecue, Great Beer
Cons: Long Waits

Don't bring your faint-hearted vegetarian friends to this eatery. These people do barbecue, and they do it well.

Looking at the menu, the most prominent item is Ribs. Redbones serves up several different types of beef and pork ribs, and they...

Pros: Lots of tasty food
Cons: none really

Redbones is Davis Square is one of those unabashed meat-eating, beer-drinking kind of places that are becoming harder and harder to find, especially in areas like Davis Square that are being over-run by trendiness and Starbucks.

Redbones...

Pros: beer selection
Cons: everything but the beer selection

The one positive thing I can say about Redbones is that their beer selection is exceptional, ranging from American microbrews to imported lagers and barleywines. If you cant decide you can take your chances and have your beer selected through a spin of...

Pros: Awesome barbecue and beer
Cons: Sauces are good, not transcendent

Throughout my college years in Boston, there was absolutely no decent barbecue to be had. The only things that even came close were a pair of places (first the Rainbow room, then Hoodoo) with a tasty sauce served with lamb ribs. This was good food, but...

Pros: Best BBQ, excellent beer selection
Cons: none

Redbones in Davis Square is the best Boston area place for barbeque!

Pros: Loud happy ambience, buffalo shrimp
Cons: mediocre food

The first time I went to Redbones, I was a guest at a wedding rehearsal dinner. Big steaming plates of food kept coming out so fast we (there were 20 of us) couldn't keep up with it. The beer was flowing, the food was simple and good, and everybody was...

Pros: Large beer selection
Cons: The food and the service

Being from Arkansas originally, barbeque is something of an addiction for me. Unfortunately, Redbones which lies near to my house fails to capture my heart.
The place boasts plenty of room with a bar, an upstairs room and a downstairs room both...

Pros: The best barbecue in Boston
Cons: You get packed in like sardines after a LONG wait

Redbones is cramped, noisy, chaotic, and serves the messiest meal I've ever had. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

There is ONE focus at this restaurant. *M*E*A*T* Vegetarians go home, or go hungry. This one's for carnivores only.

Pros: Extremely fun, great food, great sauces, huge variety of beer. Very friendly staff.
Cons: Long wait in line.

If you want to laugh and have a great meal, this is the place to go. The staff are fun, and very friendly. The food is exceptional. Beer is great, what a huge selection! My favorite to order as far as the appetizers go would be the buffalo shrimp....

Pros: Excellent Food!!! Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, awesome wall decorations!
Cons: you must pay in cash, somewhat crowded

Do you like ribs? Well, even if you don't, you will love them at Redbones! Thick, meaty, cooked to perfection no matter what type you order (Texas style, etc.--varies by type of meat and preparation style) the meat flakes off perfectly from the bone....

Pros: great food great prices
