“ 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. ”
“ Awesome first experience at Blackstrap. Sat at the bar and was greeted by a super friendly staff. Good atmosphere and energy for a beer and some food. My brisket was a little dry so looking forward to trying it again before ruling it out. Their special, poutine, was actually amazing. Can confirm as a Canadian. ”
“ Been coming to Blackstrap for years and it is by far the best BBQ I’ve ever had. I’ve tried BBQ at a renowned spot in Dallas and it didn’t even come close to how good Blackstrap is. Every dish is full of flavor and the atmosphere and staff are great as well Can’t recommend this place enough. My husband and I moved to the Merrimack valley 2 years ago and wish they would open another spot somewhere up here! ”
“ 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. ”
“ Been coming here since they opened over ten years ago! Awesome food, super friendly staff, and the vibe is unmatched. Take the ride to Winthrop, you'll thank me later! (BTW - best chicken wings EVER) ”
“ 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! P.S. if you’re a cornbread lover like me, you’ll be well surprised at how moist theirs is ”
