In my opinion, a $40 dollar waste. In my opinion this restaurant is highly inconsistent - you have a 50/50 chance of the food

being either decently edible or totally inedible.

Today was my fourth visit and it was totally inedible:

Baby Back Ribs -OLD,OLD,OLD meat. I sent the plate back and what returned was more old meat.

Cucumber Salad - Mushy (I would have never thought that possible with cucumbers until I tasted

it myself).

Collard Greens - Meat within them was dry and the collard greens were bland.

Corn Bread - This I ate because it was the only thing on my plate that was something worth 3

stars.

Yams - were served swimming in water and is the breaking point at which I had to write this

review because it added insult to injury.

So why did I return to a restaurant four times if the food is only edible at best? Because I

am a big lover of BBQ and have become desperate since my favorite Texas Roadhouse BBQ had a

roach sighting and their ribs turned into shoe leather.

If you must visit this restaurant at least do your self a favor and order nothing more than

the $15 or less plates of ribs so that you don't spend too too much on old hog if it happens

to be inedible that day.

As for me I just won't eat anymore BBQ until I get back to Cali.

ABSOLUTE BEST BBQ in mass!!!. Don't let the location fool you, b/c I only eat at the best of the best 5 star joints, no Outback or Chili's... If you are looking for just the absolute BEST BBQ that you could find in mass... then this is the place for you!!! I don't eat BBQ all the time but whenever I do there is absolutely no place that I would go other then Tennessee's!!!!! Also GREAT for takeout and catering parties or a family cookout this summer, 4th of July?!?! ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy! b/c I know for certain I will be again!

If you want BBQ this is the place to go. I have tried most of the menu and loved everything I tried. I have eaten BBQ in many places including Dallas, TX and KC, MO and would put this up against anyplace. If you like BBQ you won't be disapointed.

Great BBQ fast!. I dont consider Blues and Country "cheesy music".. That's what they have been playing every time I have been in there..

As far as the food- gotta love it! The cornbread and southern sweet tea are both amazing and the pulled pork is awesome. They have three types of bbq sauce available on the side as well if you want more. The staff are great, the ambience is fun and the food rocks! Definitely stop by some time...

Casually-dressed families enjoy serious-minded barbecue in the suburbs.. The Scene
Located on one end of a non-descript strip mall, Tennessee's serves up dependable, affordable barbecue platters to a suburban crowd. Diners choose from large overhead menu boards and order at the counter. There are many huge tables, perfect for families who frequent the restaurant.

The Food
Don't let the locale fool you; this is serious barbecue. Some of the meats are marinated for 24 hours and then smoked another 16, ensuring moist, flavorful brisket and pulled pork. Hearty, award-winning ribs are a customer favorite, as are hefty burritos filled with apple-smoked chicken. Huge vats of tangy barbecue sauces provide extra flavor. Lighter fare includes jumbo salads topped with barbecued chicken. All platters come with a choice of sides, which include molasses baked beans, sticky-sweet candied yams, broccoli cole slaw and perfect mashed potatoes. Pecan pie's usually the only dessert available.

Good Food, Good Prices. This place may not have the best looking dining area, but they sell bar-b-que it's not supposed to be that great. It has a very relaxed atmosphere that you can sit back, eat, talk, and just enjoy. As if that wasn't enough, the bar-b-que food is really good. The side items are not as great as the meats and burritos but they still get the job done. The candy yams are exceptional

Lotsa meat. Fantastic barbecue, large portions and very reasonable prices here. Excellent sauces, tender meat and plenty of napkins. It isn't much to look at, and they play pretty cheesy music, but I think if you're looking for barbecue, this place is right up there with the best in Boston for meat. Blue Ribbon is a little better overall for the salads, cornbread, sides and wraps they offer, but for just plain BBQ, this will more than do.

Best in New England. Unbelievable BBQ Chicken at a great price. Folks who say that there are limited choices for BBQ in New England should try this place. I have had their Memphis Ribs, BBQ Chicken and Pulled Pork. All are Fantastic.

On top of that, I couldn't believe how nice the staff was.

Keep up the good work. I understand that there are 3 other restaurants around the Boston area.

How can you go wrong.

Thanks
