Firefly's BBQ Marlborough

Last time I went to Firefly's BBQ in Marlborough, it was to celebrate National BBQ Day. They really do an excellent BBQ, and if you can get the brisket right, you get everything else right too.

They are on a hill with plenty of parking. They now also have a patio.

I missed the condiment section on my previous visits. Plenty of pickled stuff.

You promptly get pickled cucumbers that were very sweet. I really like the humongous water glass.

I went with the Three Meat Combo Plate that comes with cornbread and two sides. This is $24.50 on the online menu, $21.50 on the real menu, so that was a pleasant surprise. 2 pieces Southern Fried Chicken with white cream gravy, 3 St. Louis Ribs, 5 oz. Sliced Beef Brisket + $2. Mashed potatoes with gravy and collard greens. The white gravy arrived later. The brisket was tender, smoky and not dry. The ribs had a good bark, smoke ring and were NOT fall off the bone. If ribs are fall off the bone, then they have been boiled and are not BBQ. The fried chicken was excellent, crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The mashed potatoes were real mashed potatoes but had the skins left on, and I really don't like that. The gravy was good. The collard greens were appropriately vinegary. I made myself a small plate from the condiment corner, and I really liked the pickled veggies and the hot yellow peppers. Not a fan of the pickling of the beans, but that's just me. Service was very friendly. They only do lunch on Saturdays, and an all you can eat BBQ buffet on Sundays.

I paid with a gift card that I received on my last visit, so this might be considered a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own.
