A good place if you are in a pitch or craving BBQ in Natick/Framingham area.
The food was just okay. The pork was pretty dry and a bit bland. The mac and cheese tasted like it was baked and it wasn’t the best flavor. The cornbread was dry and not really worth having more then 2 bites worth. The prices were a bit high for the quality of food given.
Overall, its an alright place but I personally won’t go back.

Ordered a simple pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. When I went to pick it up, the cashier was sitting at a booth on her phone, than sighed when she had to come and check me out. Had had no sense of welcoming vibe. Than when I got the food the mac and cheese tasted like it was made by my 12 year old son. Also looked like it was picked through/eaten. Very dry and bland. Pulled pork sandwich came not even made, had to put sandwich together myself. Terrible. Will not be coming back.

I’d give this place 6 stars if I could. My wife and I have lived in the Framingham area for about 2 years, drove by this place countless times but never had it until recently and we will most definitely be back. Coming home to MA after having lived in North Carolina for many years I didn’t expect to find a BBQ place that would compare to my favorite spots down south, but this place knocked it out of the park. Everything was excellent, pork was flavorful, ribs were tender, chicken was cooked to perfection and the corn bread? Get out of here, it was some of the best I’ve ever had. Highly highly recommend

I’ve frequented the Peabody location for over 15 years, but tried this one for the first time last night. I’m happy to say, it hits exactly the same! Truly can’t go wrong at this place, though I tend to stick with my usual, pulled chicken sandwich (bread on the side and smothered in their hot bbq sauce), cucumber salad, and mac and cheese. So so good. Love the vibes of the locations as well

Just simply a great BBQ place.
Ive been to a few of the most highly reviewed BBQ places in New England and i left disappointed at all of them. Thats not the case at Tennessee BBQ. Its great BBQ and it’s consistently good. The hot and tangy bbq sauce is amazing. I smother the pulled pork with it. The meats were expertly cooked and the sides were delicious. Top it off with a smiling and friendly staff and you can’t go wrong. Give them a try.

OMG, this was the worst food ever! These people ARE NOT from TN or that’s why they left and came here because they would have went out of business for such disgusting food. The “baked” macaroni and cheese taste like Kraft with different noodles and don’t get me started on this coleslaw.. You could easily make your own by purchasing Dole classic coleslaw from the grocery store. I ask for “hot wings” but they came dry with a container of the weakest hot sauce. I feel shamed as a native TN individual that people in MA believe this is the slop we serve in my home state. The only thing that was worth eating were the baked beans, as I’m sure they bought cans of bush’s best. Don’t waste your time.. Go somewhere else like Firefly’s BBQ (it’s decent) or just make your own at home!!

Worst BBQ I’ve ever had. The food was definitely old. Cost us $55 for lunch and we left having eaten almost nothing. I ordered “pulled chicken”, which they say is smoked chicken… well, it doesn’t look at all like pulled chicken. It was chopped (roughly, at that) and had the most foul taste I’ve encountered in a long time. The sweet potatoes I got as a side looked old and microwaved and went in the trash. Do not recommend. The fact that they don’t even have name brand soda in their soda fountain, should have been a reason to turn around and leave by itself. Definitely a forewarning there!
I understand that many businesses are struggling. It’s hard to keep up with building repairs, paying staff and vendors etc. but a restaurant that actually *tries* goes much farther than one that serves a customer sweet potatoes that should have been thrown out a week ago.
Accountability is important

Order fatty beef brisket. Got dry lean brisket with zero smoke ring. Picture taken in car immediately after order. So sad.

Food was excellent. Quick affordable delicious smoked BBQ. Menu is a pretty good size as well.
I got the 1/2 chicken with three sides for 15.99 and what a steal that price is. A ton of food!
My lady got the chicken burrito and it was packed with food and flavor. Their sides are great too! I got a sweet potato, cucumber salad and corn on the cob that was to die for. Will definitely be returning back to this place. So close as well!
