About Boston Barbecue

Boston Barbecue

Pit-smoked barbecue catering since 2004 — brisket, pulled pork, ribs, fried catfish, and loaded BBQ bowls with homemade sides. Drop-off buffets, boxed meals, full-service staffed events, and our food truck on site. Serving Greater Boston, the Merrimack Valley, and the North Shore.

What sets Boston Barbecue apart is real pit-smoked barbecue, made the same way since 2004. We serve brisket, pulled pork, ribs, fried catfish, and loaded BBQ bowls with homemade sides. Choose a drop-off buffet, boxed meals, a full-service staffed event, or our food truck on site. Weddings with our food trailer on site carry a $4,000 minimum. We cook from two kitchens — Andover and Charlestown's Foundation Kitchen — and serve Greater Boston, the Merrimack Valley, and the North Shore.

    Boston Barbecue was so professional and the food was *absolutely* delicious! We hired Boston BBQ for a surprise birthday party for my 80 year-old mother (because she had had Boston barbecue food at a neighborhood cookout previously and loved it, especially the collard greens). They were so professional, excellent communicators, easy set up and instructions, and they were so accommodating to switch locations at the last minute due to weather. Thank you! I highly recommend Boston BBQ! Well worth it!

    Had Bill, Michelle and the crew cater me and my girlfriends baby shower. Food was amazing. Service was even better. They arrived early to set up and made sure everything was perfect. The bartender working at the venue also gave an outstanding review of working with the crew in the kitchen. We had so many guests asking to take some home we door dashed to go plates! 10/10 recommend Boston Barbecue! The best!

    Enjoyed a "pulled pork sandwhich" from their food truck at the North Reading Town Day event. The pork was very tasty, but could have used a bit more sauce as it was rather dry. 1 sandwich was $20.00; it was on the bigger side and came with a side of chips (Utz).
