I finally found authentic BBQ in my area, Code 1 BBQ is it!!!
All the meat so tender, flavored extremely well, and tasty sauces and sides to go with it. Even the collard greens are great. The chicken, pork belly and cornbread were favorites. Can’t wait to visit again!

I tried Code 1 BBQ today after seeing it on Facebook for months. The food is nothing short of FANTASTIC!! The brisket was juicy and had great bark, the pork belly was crispy and very flavorful, and the chicken was some of the best I’ve ever had. My favorite part though – the beef tallow fries were incredible. If you like BBQ and haven’t tried Code 1 I’d highly recommend stopping in. The food is great and the owners are so friendly. We had a great chat while i waited for food and their story is amazing. Well done Code 1!!

This was the best BBQ I have had north of the Mason-Dixon Line. The beef rib was incredible and the brisket was tasty with great flavor and consistency. Speaking to the pittmaster, he learned the craft in Texas and it shows, done low and slow with no additives. Best BBQ I’ve had in a while and somewhere that I will definitely be returning

Once you tried their bbq you would never want something else. You would feel they are legit bbq since you walk in their door. You can tell how delicate they are. Brisket is really tender even the flat end part!! Pork belly is unbelievably good with the crispy finish!! The couple owners were there when I dined and they are really nice asking if anything they could help my experience better. We would encourage all our friend to try their place!

Of the limited BBQ options in MA, Code 1 is just ok. Went on a Saturday for lunch and waited 55 minutes for takeout. All meats were tasty, but the portions are relatively small for the price. Oddly enough, the kids meal I got for my daughter was the largest portion we got. The sides were hit or miss. Baked beans and brussels with bacon were both great, but the mac and cheese was basically just Mac and cream. From my first experience, I’d say that Northeast Smokehouse is the much better option in the area, but I’ll definitely give it another try.

I ordered 2 brisket sandwiches, having seen all the good reviews I was hoping for something great… I was very disappointed to see my $17 sandwich had 6 small pieces of bland, dry brisket. Living in local to the area and wanting to try something different near by, I would still 1000% rather go to Northeast smokehouse (another bbq joint nearby) . Better portions for your dollar, better service, better tasting too. I also never leave reviews, but i was so ticked off i spent $35 on $5 worth of meat and $3worth of bread. Do better.

Everything was good but the beef rib is insane. We didn’t get to try the pork ribs or pork belly because they were sold out but we re definitely coming back earlier next time to snag some. Owners are super friendly and hard working veterans, all the sides were delicious. The cornbread was moist, the pickled onions were chefs kiss, the mash had nice chunks in it that we love, and the collards were tasty too.
