Hiya,

I'm looking for BBQ places in the Boston/Sommerville/Cambridge area (
yup, just like the subject says :-) ).  I'm probably taking about 20
people there who like to drink beer and do some (raunchy) singing on
the side.  So any places with a private room or a corner where the
management can shove us into would be greatly appreciated.

As we have a couple of vegetarians in the group, some place that has 
some non-meat options would be nice.

Any and all comments would be appreciated.  If you are shy (or don't
want your secret BBQ place broadcasted over the net), feel free to
send me e-mail at twm3@world.std.com .

Thanks for you help (and we will be the 20 runners on 6 Feb that are
making all the noise :-) ),

On-On,
~Tom

   you...  Try the Barbecue Belt for brisket, 3 kinds of ribs, slaw, and beans
   (I usually split this one with a friend), and follow it up with a slice of
   sweet potato pie with real whipped cream on top. Yummers.

The food is very good.  AND, with 20 or so, depending on the day, you can
sit "downstairs" and be as load as you like.

1.  Redbones in Davis Sq.
2.  Jimmy Mac's near Porter Sq.

The two below don't fit your spacing for 20 people criteria but I  
think they are worth mentioning on food quality alone:

3.  Jake & Earl's / East Coast Grill in Inman Sq. (though it's take  
out)  If it's still around, there's "Jake's" in the South End.
4.  House of Blues in Harvard Sq.

Personally, I love the North Carolina P.P. Sandwich at Jake n' Earls.   
Redbones is good but I never found it to be great.  IMHO.

Nick's Beef and Beer. Mass Ave, Camb.  Cheap, lots of beer, cheap, lots of food,
possibly vegi stuff (call), electric fireplaces on the wall, did I mention
cheap? and loud

Redbones. Davis Sq. Somerville.  Possibly the best Southern BBQ place I've ever
been at in my life.  If you don't try the corn fritters, you haven't tried the
the eleventh wonder of the world (and you are
missing ten zillion calories and a lb of fat but who cares, it is worth dying
young for.   Vegi-?  Ha Ha Ha HA!!!  I think not.  Call well in advance for
large groups.  They cater/takeout...hmm that is an idea.. now find a vegi place
that caters /does large take out and you could have a real party.  Loud is good.


enjoy
