Southern Comfort BBQ in Fenway
Sweet Cheeks
Why locals love it
While Boston may not be known for it's barbecue joints, this one is hard to beat no matter the city. Former Top Chef runner-up Tiffani Faison created this indulgent BBQ restaurant in the shadows of Fenway Park where you can grab a seat at the long farm tables or at the handful of bar stools to get beers or homemade libations served in mason jars.
Why you should visit it
The biscuits and honey butter alone are enough to stop by this place. But if you haven't stuffed yourself to discomfort by then, they offer delectable "tray" plates where you can mix and match your favorites entree from the menu (like buttermilk fried chicken, pulled pork or Northern brisket) with sides (like collard greens or mac and cheese).
Special tip
Looking for a challenge? Try The Big Rig. It's 2 pounds (EACH!) of pork belly, pulled pork and chicken, brisket, ribs and a whole chicken. Plus sides!
