Is it heresy to suggest that the best thing in a barbecue restaurant isn’t a cut of meat? That might be the case at Sweet Cheeks Q in the Fenway, where they serve the biscuits in a bucket because they know you’re going to want more than one. Having said that, the meats are good too (go with the ribs) and Sweet Cheeks should be in your pre-Sox rotation.
Irie Jamaican style restaurant is a counter-serve spot in Dorchester that makes outstanding chicken and Caribbean food.
Pit Stop is a take-out barbecue place on the Dorchester/Mattapan line with great ribs and other barbecue standards.
Trillium Fenway is the much smaller (but still crowded, because Trillium) Fenway outpost of one of Boston’s best breweries.
Orfano is an Italian steakhouse in the Fenway. It has a three-foot tall pepper mill, so that’s something.
