  15. Rank 270. Sweet Cheeks Q

    The biscuits at this Fenway barbecue joint are built to soak up the drippings from brined, smoked chicken, which tells you something about the kitchen's priorities. Tiffani Faison of Food Network fame runs the place, and the slow-smoked ribs and charred brisket have kept regulars coming back for years. Coleslaw and picnic sides fill out the heavy trays. Boston Magazine named it the city's top barbecue in 2025.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
