The hidden BBQ stand in the middle of a park.
I ordered a combo #2 and saw that everybody was raving over the burnt ends so I picked that up as well. The reviews were right, the burnt ends were the best I've tried. I had sides of candied yam, mac and cheese, rice, and coleslaw--all what you would expect in a good southern BBQ.
The lines did become a bit long and many orders came flying in because the food is that good. My advice, plan ahead. Expect some waiting as the husband and wife juggle the window orders and online orders, so order a bit more because you dont want to miss out. On a side note, a rabbit in the park kept me company while waiting. I wanted to get seconds while eating, but I didn't want to contend with another wait. I know I'll have to visit again to fulfill my BBQ needs. Did I mention the burnt ends? It's been hours and I'm still thinking about them.
They close up at around 7:30PM if the orders stop despite their sign saying 9PM for some nights. The owner even came out to the patrons to apologize of the wait and to see how we were doing when their was a lull in the ordering. His voice is deep and loud, so I can understand how it could be mistaken as rude, but he was really sincere and kind. It was also interesting to hear that he had friends in Guam where I'm from. As their motto says, it's fresh food, not fast food.
This area has a lot of business so most restaurants are geared towards that audience so finding a good small BBQ place was really nice. The brisket was very tender with strong smokey flavor. Coleslaw was vinegar based which isn't personal preference. But the sweet potato fries were fantastic and crispy. Not soggy like most places that serve sweet potato fries. Definitely worth hitting up if you're in the area around lunch time
Ordered a combo plate with pulled chicken and paid extra for burnt ends which were fantastic. As a side tried the Texas caviar, a Tex-Mex bean salad consisting of black-eyed peas lightly pickled in a vinaigrette-style dressing. It was delicious, too.

Went here for lunch. I have never had a good experience with bbq (having only tried places in the northeast) so i had guarded expectations, so i was so happy and surprised when the food was great!
I got the bbq spaghetti, texas caviar (a cold black eyed pea and pepper mix), and burnt ends. There were 2 slightly different kinds of bbq sauce that came with it. Or maybe it was just two things of the same sauce? anyways, the burnt ends were great, there were some beautifully fatty pieces and some quite lean and crisped up pieces. The flavour for both types of burnt ends were great though i preferred the fattier ones.
BBQ spaghetti was a huge surprise and highlight for me, a sweet and spiced sauce coated the spaghetti and there were some crisped up parts of the spaghetti to serve as textural contrast.
Personally I didn't like the texas caviar much. it was slightly vinegary and the black eyed peas were a great texture, but I just didn't find it too exciting. Nothing was wrong with it in particular.
My friend got the fried catfish with mac n cheese and slaw, all of which tasted great to me as well. The catfish was coated in a vinegary sauce.
The lady who served us was really nice as well.
If I have the chance, I will definitely return to try their other offerings.
Larry and the staff are incredibly kind, and made some great food, thanks for your awesome service
Hit the spot! Perfectly smoked chicken and brisket, greens and not overly sweet candied yams. The owner was friendly and engaging as was his lovely wife.
We'll be back!
Perched inside of a picturesque greenway in the heart of Seaport, Larry J's BBQ serves about as many staples and mains as you could ask for. If you've spent any time reading reviews of their customer service, you might be inclined to assume that their service is bad, and- as it pertains to customer coddling, you'd be right. Thick skin and a degree of patience can help you. If you find yourself at odds with him, remind yourself that you're dining at a no-nonsense, BBQ joint armored with panel wood notably out of place against the solid steel facades of Seaport institutions like Legal, Lolitas, Del Frisco, etc. And at the end of the day, if you're there to get solid BBQ, that's exactly what you'll get. The ribs are great, brisket is of decent quality, and the roasted wings are supremely juicy with a perfect, savory crunch. The Mac and Cheese is great too. Don't come here to have your hand held. Come here for BBQ.
Ordered the catfish, fried chicken, and the burnt ends. Perfectly delicious. Will absolutely come again. Larry’s a real one.
The burger I ordered was cooked to perfection. It was delicious. It was a beautiful day to sit at the tables and enjoy my lunch break. 10/10
My second time here. Larry J never lets me down, the pork ribs fall right off the bone. He is only open on the weekends opens at 12 go check him out worth the trip
