Firefly's

Good enough. Decent BBQ. Huge portions. Good for families.

Menu says lean brisket. Ours was very fatty. No smoke flavor. Roasted corn was under done. Not a high quality BBQ place.

What can I say? I've been a patron for years, and I try to go once a week. I've had several birthdays, and most celebrations really, at the original Marlborough location.

Great BBQ and great comfort food in general... A great variety of sauces and styles. I'm partial to a Memphis-style pulled pork platter with a side of mac 'n cheese and and sweet potato pecan pudding. I'd also recommend the pork'd mac 'n cheese, the fried pickles, and pork nachos.

That said, they've gone down hill recently. They dropped Coca Cola for Pepsi, lowered the portions on their platters several times while raising the price, changed some appetizer recipes, and have started playing weird reggae music instead of the classic rock/country they used to. Coupled with the fact that the other two locations, I'm worried for their future.

1) Order the sweet potato pecan pudding!

2) Do the wing challenge!
