This BBQ gem will have your mouthwatering the moment you walk in and will make you want to take some take out even after you’re done. With its Rustic all American vibe coupled with amazing and friendly staff, this place is perfect any night of the week. The wings are spot on EVERY time and the specials are delectable. I had the spicy chicken Parmesan sandwich which I could not put down!

I’m new to the area but went to this place off of a recommendation from a friend in Virginia. He wasn’t wrong. The food here is phenomenal and the bar has a great atmosphere. I highly recommend the catering for any events. They are very easy to work with and cater any sized event. They were able to put together food for a party of 12 the day of with only 4 hours notice! All the food was prepared perfectly to the point that my 4 year old ate the most green beans I’ve ever seen in one sitting. I will continue to go here and recommend this place highly to anyone.

Today my friend and I went for a late lunch at the Blackstrap. It was a first time I have to tell you it was wonderful, waitress, and bartender. Stephanie was outstanding. She made the best margaritas I have ever had and I’ve had them in many places. Terrific. Also, the food was excellent. My favorite was the cauliflower appetizer. It was outstanding, simply delicious the cornbread as well we had the Rianda. What did we have chili which was very good the baked macaroni side and then after that we ended a meal with a with an espresso martini. We had a wonderful afternoon, especially for two older women and I’m sure we will be back soon will recommend it highly

Stopped in on a late Sunday morning to find a welcoming place with a great menu and bonus live music. Amazing espresso Martini’s, witnessed a colorful mimosas flight poured with love for patrons. Only giving 4 stars for the food because we shared a sandwich plate- great portions and flavors. The coleslaw was runny but edible. Will be delighted to try again when in the area.

HIDDEN BBQ GEM!!! Incredible food and affordable prices. We ordered the bbq plates each as you can choose one to three meats, two sides, and a cornbread. I had corn and bacon salad, mashed potatoes, shredded bbq chicken, chilli, and burnt ends of brisket. I’ve also tried creamy corn, ribs, and the Texas brisket. Everything was cooked to perfection. To be honest one of the best restaurants I’ve been in the Boston area. Worth the drive if you’re staying closer to the city.

If you like barbecue this is the place to go! I’ve been coming here once a month for several months now and plan on doing the same in the future. I always have the onion rings and a few pints of the local craft IPA while grabbing some food to go for my wife. She loves everything on the menu but her favorite by far is the crispy pork, ginger scallion lo mein. They also have a full bar for mixed drinks. There’s plenty of street parking as well as a small municipal parking area right across the street. I’ve never had a problem finding parking. Just a reminder that they only accept cash.

Service was good. But overall the meats weren’t very good. The brisket wasn’t “Texas” style unless they boil the meat in Texas, no bark, no smoke ring, and severely lacking in flavor and proper bbq techniques. All other meat was ok. Sweet potatoes, Mac n cheese were very good.

As a BBQ lover and living near Winthrop, I really wanted to love this place, but it is just OK and the BBQ is not that great. If you have never had Carolina, Georgia, or Texas bbq, the maybe you will be fine with it. First the positives! Christian the bartender/waiter was extremely nice and helpful and sat our party of six quickly. Good drink and beer selection, but might be the first bbq place without sweet tea! Amazing portion sizes but we didnt like it enough to finish. The appetizers are good. Fried pickles are excellent with a good batter that sticks on well. The crab and andouille hush puppies were very tasty with good chunks of crab but the outside was overcooked and too crunchy. The cornbread is huge but too dry and crumbly. The brisket was very tender and had an excellent smoke complexion. Decent smoke ring but no bark included. A few pieces were ok but a few were dry. The pulled pork was much more vinegary that most Carolina bbq I have had. It was almost inedible it had so much vinegar flavor. Also a bit dry. The South Carolina sauce on the side was a bit better than the North but was still more vinegar and not enough mustard. The sweet bbq sauce is standard and good. Brisket sandwich was good but a bit dry. If things were not overcooked and more juicy we might comeback. BBQ sweet potato salad was ok but lacked a bbq flavor and had some undercooked sweet potatoes. Cole slaw…excellent! Mac and cheese was good but not great. Collards were disappointing. Not the sweet blackstrap molasses flavor I was looking for and a bit raw. Nice vibe and an intimate small place. Needs work on the food. I recommend Smoke BBQ in Charleston, SC if you want Carolina pork

Small town BBQ in the old center of Winthrop, was delicious, had a great atmosphere great to see them expanding in this current era. It seems like a little hole-in-the-wall at first BUT that’s how you know it’s going to be good.
