Boston Barbecue

These smoked wings are next-level.
We start by brining them for hours so every bite stays juicy and packed with flavor. Then they hit the smoker over hard wood and fruit wood, soaking up that deep smoky taste, before getting flash fried until the skin is golden and crispy.

The result is the perfect wing: smoky, juicy, crispy, and full of bold flavor in every bite. Finish them your way with house dry rub, Cajun dry rub, house BBQ, Carolina mustard, or sweet chili sauce.

Perfect for game day, catering, parties, or anybody who takes wings seriously. These aren’t just wings — they’re the kind people talk about after the plate is empty.

We are and we approve this message.

The moment you receive a call while traveling on route 128 to a private catering event with our Chuck Wagon. Customer calls on telephone, "Hey, I'm behind you on 128, where are you going? I need to try your food, I've been hearing a lot about you guys." Our customers are AWESOME!!

Huge shoutout to our team — Odis, Gilda, Chris, and Michele — for their tireless commitment at yesterday’s BBQ festival in Lexington. The lines were massive before we even opened, and our crew worked nonstop to serve everyone they could.
To everyone who waited in line to order: thank you for your patience and support. We truly appreciate you.
To those who waited but didn’t get a chance to order because we sold out: we sincerely apologize. We hope you can catch us at one of our other venues soon.
