Authentic Downhome-Style Southern BBQ

All items from the tasty menu are available in the restaurant, for take out and delivery. Catering for all sized groups is a specialty. Redbones serves 28 standard-setting and fan favorite brews on tap and a wide selection of bottled beers.

Free bicycle valet parking is available evenings to cyclists coming to Davis Square. Special events are scheduled throughout the year.

In 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 waitresses fling sass, authentic cornbread comes with every meal and you're likely to hear Hammie Nixon's corn-pone harp playing in the background. Pork and beef ribs, brisket, chicken and Texas-style pulled pork share the menu with well-executed sides like hush puppies and cat fingers. Save room for caramel custard. To drink, Redbones offers 24 microbrews on tap and more than a dozen big and little brands in bottles.

When to Go
Half-priced appetizers are served at the bar, weekdays from 4pm to 6pm.
Save Money
While the restaurant's dinner menu is a treat, there's no beating the daily all-you-can-eat buffet, which offers endless amounts of meats and sides for $10 until 4pm.
Parking
Burn off your dinner by leaving the car at home and taking the bike out for a spin. The nation's first free bicycle valet service is available on weeknights and all day on weekends.
Where to Sit
It's jumping almost every night--both in the smoke-free upstairs, popular with families, and the darker, bar-dominated downstairs.

Not as Down-Home as I hoped
Jamanda1432 - 08/24/2009The food was all fine, service was fantastic, mainly because a member of my party was friends with the waitress. But for a Texan, who feels like they know good barbecue, this just didn't hit the spot. Personally, I love Texas Roadhouse, because they litter Texas Highways as it is and Firefly's because their sauces can't be beat. Try them all for yourself. I just wasn't impressed with Redbones (maybe it was too cajun style for my taste), especially after everyone up here said how great it was.

JM4279 - 07/10/2009I wasn't impressed with Redbones eaither. Especially the ribs. I heard they were really good but when I had them, they were average at best. Ribs at Flaramo's in Chelsea are WAY better.

Beat's most of the que in the South
Wwsurfa1 - 06/11/2008I grew up here in Florida and I have yet to find a Bar B Que place that come's close to Redbone's. Everytime I go to the Boston area I make several trip's to Redbone's. I cannot wait to move back to the Boston area so I can go more often. I am open to checking out other Bar B Que place's but for now. Redbone's is awesome.

Lalban1051 - 06/06/2008We had a party of 20 men a few years ago and, based on its reputation, got all the food from Redbones. Most everyone was dissapointed. No one wanted to take home leftovers. Blue Ribbon in Newton is a lot better than Redbones.
