Amazing BBQ! The meat is tender and full of flavor, the sides are great, and the staff are super friendly. Casual, welcoming spot — definitely one of the best BBQ places in Boston!

This was my first time trying this place, I looked up places that offered GF for the friend I was meeting here and we will definitely return. The atmosphere was chill, the server was kind and laidback, and the food was amazing! These are the only pictures I took, I was ready to dig in!

I love the Texas-style brisket a lot, tastes so good. But chicken wings are so sweet. The cornbread tastes good as well!

I gifted my husband a cooking class with Chef Andy Husbands for Christmas, and he told me it was the best gift he has ever received. The entire experience exceeded both of our expectations. The class was not only incredibly informative but also so much fun. Andy led a friendly competition that kept everyone laughing and engaged, and he demonstrated several delicious recipes throughout the night. Participants got to sample everything he made, and every bite was fantastic. The added bourbon tasting was such a great touch. What really stood out was Andy himself. He was approachable, friendly, and genuinely excited to share his knowledge. He offered tons of practical tips for making great BBQ at home. My husband came back inspired and ready to elevate his own cooking. We’ve always had amazing meals and great service when dining at this restaurant, but this class showed a whole new side of what makes it special. It was memorable, delicious, and so much fun. Highly recommend!

I dropped by The Smoke Shop BBQ at Assembly Row and had the Texas Style Brisket Sandwich — hands down one of the best brisket sandwiches I’ve had around Boston. The brisket was perfectly smoked, with that signature bark and a juicy, tender center that still holds structure. It had that deep, rich smokiness you’d expect from authentic Texas BBQ.
The sandwich came on a soft bun that held up well without getting soggy, with just the right amount of sauce that complemented — not masked — the meat. I paired it with a Watermelon Wheat beer, which added a refreshing, slightly fruity counterbalance to the heavy flavors of the brisket.
The vibe here is relaxed and friendly, great for casual dining or catching up with friends over BBQ and beer. Service was prompt and the staff seemed genuinely passionate about the food.
If you’re craving real-deal brisket with proper smoke and texture, this is definitely the place to go. Bonus points for the excellent craft beer options.

Might be a dine in place only.. ordered delivery and everything was so dry and hard. I ordered the ribs, burnt ends, and hot wings. Burnt ends and ribs were extremely hard and dry. The fries were also hard and stale. The Brussel sprouts and corn bread were good though.

Fantastic location with lots of stores around. Great cozy BBQ place with great ambiance. Really good and attentive service and friendly. I ordered the brisket plate with cucumber salad and fries. The brisket was great and not dry. The sides were fresh and tasty. The sauce selection was sufficient. They also have great selection of drinks. Restrooms available. Will come again when in the area.

Stopped here since I was staying at a hotel close by. The food and drinks were delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive. I had the Thanksgiving day sandwich with Coleslaw, and my husband had the pit crew combo with turkey and brisket and fries. The coleslaw had a spicy kick that I really liked. My husband had the smokehouse signature old fashioned and I had the sweater weather to drink. Great experience. Visited during Christmas and they had a gorgeous tree in front of the restaurant.
