on Citysearch May 12, 2010Redbones is a fun place. Head down to Underbones for a more college age crowd. The food is decent, but I'd recommend the ribs. Good beer and... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 25, 2010I think my boyfriend is still pretty miffed that I waited almost a solid year of him living in Medford before the words, "You know where we should go? ...Redbones" came tumbling out of my mouth. A solid twelve months of... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 10, 2009I LOVE Redbones! The pulled pork there is amazing! Not to mention the cornbread. The art downstairs is awesome too. And they deliver! Defini... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 19, 2009I was first introduced to Redbones in the spring of 2007 even though I've been a resident since 2003. I have never been disappointed! the pulled pork is amazing and i've tried almost all the rib types and you can't go... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 18, 2008This place knows how to BBQ. If you're form the south, don't expect anything special, but for the NE crowd, it's good stuff for sure. Cheap booze, good food and a cool atmosphere too. Try the pulled pork or the St. Louis... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 10, 2008this place has the rep as a good bbq joint , and i dont know why! soggy and dry at the same time the ribs are not very good , i guess if you just drink a lot of beer you cant tell the the food is tastless and nasty, but i have to give... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 15, 2008WAY OVER-RATED...I don't know why people rave about ANY of the food here, but it must be because they like 'blah food' instead of 'soul food'. it's too bad because they are located in a good spot--Boston definitely... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 06, 2008First off, let me say that the staff and the atmosphere there is great. BUT, if you are looking for BBQ, even quasi-BBQ, steer clear. I know a lot of people from NE love this place but that's because the bar has been set low... (more)

on Citysearch May 22, 2008Food is OK.. I've had better at Tennesse's BBQ.. The ribs are not bbq'd with the sauce on it, so, they tend to be quite dry.. The portions are huge., so, that makes up for the dryness and they also give mild, medium or hot... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 27, 2008Redbones is very overrated. Although good bbq is hard to come by in New England, Redbones is not the place to find it. Save your money, buy some frozen ribs at Star Market, and cook them on the grill, they will probably... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 10, 2007Redbones is a place for people who don't know what TRUE bbq should taste like..or even resemble! I seriously believe they try to drown their meats in sauce to cover up the lack of taste (and to help soften the meats?!)... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 12, 2007Love Redbones. The ribs, pulled pork, buffalo wings & okra are excellent! A can't miss! The food arrives at your table quickly...so eat fast or it will pile up in front of you. Excellent beer selection. Tremendous... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 14, 2007In Davis Square, the spicy tradition of Cajun Louisiana collides with the Southern home-cooking of Arkansas and the twangy strut of Texas--seasoned with a healthy dose of Delta blues. It's the kind of place where... (more)
