Let me start by saying that there are not enough stars on this page to rate the quality of every single aspect of Old Man Jeff’s Barbecue Company. I had lunch there on a Friday after a business meeting that I had traveled 2 1/2 hours to get to and I had to bring my daughter there for dinner the following night after having my first plate of burnt brisket ends and you can see that I love enough that they’re the wallpaper on my iPad. From the amazing cornbread, through the peach baked beans, pickled onions, fresh pickles and amazing chicken wings after I ate there I started strongly considering retiring locally because I finally found my barbecue home. After having my second perfect meal there I had to thank Jeff personally for being the consummate, perfect professional, and also having the best barbecue in the whole Metropolitan Boston area, which is not exactly next door. Jeff traveled throughout the south visiting a lot of award-winning barbecue masters, and gathered the best techniques and recipes to share with we lucky New Englanders. Jeff, Laura and the team are absolutely amazing. If you have an opportunity to go and you enjoy the best that barbecue can be DO IT!!!

Better than in Texas! Making great BBQ one time is nice. Making outstanding BBQ month after month is remarkable. Please know that your great work is appreciated!

10/10 overall. One of the best BBQ places me and my boyfriend have been to. The staff and owner were very friendly. The food was amazing. Can't say enough about this place. A must go to if you want good BBQ

Delicious!! Enough said? But seriously The peach beans were awesome. Surprised me. The pulled pork was great. Brisket was fully flavored. (Slightly dry, but the flavor made it workable) The Mac and cheese was delightful and even better when combined with the brisket. The staff and the atmosphere was overall pretty awesome. I would definitely recommend a stop over here if you're in the area.

Laura and Old man Jeff are the real deal when it comes to BBQ! I couldn’t choose and asked Laura to help me pick some of the highlights. Chicken wings, sausage, brisket and of course burnt ends. All of which were incredible. The sauces and pickles are all house made and being from Oklahoma this was a surprise to find on the east coast. Im not a big cornbread fan but Laura sold me on trying it and I’m so glad she did. It’s unlike any cornbread I have had. The BBQ was top tier stuff and I have been to many of the most well known spots in the mid west. All that said, Laura and her friendly, inviting attitude make this a place I wish I lived closer to. I had to do some work and sat in the corner on my computer for a while so I got to speak with her several times. I didn’t want to bug the Chef, her husband Jeff, so I’ll take this time to say thanks for hooking me up with the best BBQ i have had in months! It was a little taste of home while away from home. The atmosphere if family friendly and I’m sure they would accommodate large parties. I will be back!

This place is a gem. The food is delicious. Pardon my mid bite pics but I had to share how unbelievably delicious the food is. The service is friendly and efficient. Laura one of the owners was very hospitable and helpful. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would.

Wow. All I can say. What an absolute gem. Had the pleasure of speaking to Jeff’s wife Laura and told her exactly how I felt. Their cheesesteak is maybe the best I’ve ever had and I’ve gotten several in the Philadelphia area. Their beans have these big chunks of peaches in them and it’s soooooooo good. Their pasta salad is probably also the best I’ve ever had. I have no idea what they’re doing but they’re doing it right. If I lived in the area, this place would be so dangerous for me. For both weight purposes and financial purposes. It’s crazy good. Can’t suggest the place enough. Don’t sleep on this place. Thanks guys!

Fantastic spot and some of the best BBQ I've had. Only disappointment was that I could try everything... What a shame I'll need to go back. All the meats tender with just the right bit of bite, sides were perfect (I managed to try every one). The owner was delightful, lovely lady. One recommendation, get in early as they will sell out of some items.
