    It’s BBQ szn 🍖 🔹@reunion_bbq_boston is the best spot this Summer for juicy ribs, pulled pork, and all things barbecue! Many of their entree combos come with multiple sides, my personal favorite being the mac & cheese. Don’t miss out on the amazing drinks to wash it all down like the sangria! Check them out next time you’re around the South End

    Music was good, dj did his thing. Atmosphere is lively and the decor is nice. Seating is a bit tight so definitely be mindful. Mimosa tower was delicious. The food was on point. Great time and the vibe was vibing. I’ll go back for sure.

    We were a party of eight celebrating a birthday, and overall, we had a nice time! Our waiter was phenomenal for the most part, and the staff was great with the kids. However, accessibility needs improvement. We had someone in a wheelchair, and there was no automatic door. Navigating down the ramp and making the sharp turn was also difficult. We enjoyed the buffet! The pulled pork, sausage, eggs, and greens were good, although I never received my greens. I was disappointed there weren’t any actual ribs on the bone like the pictures advertised. Nevertheless, the food was tasty. They also surprised us with a cute cornbread cake and candle for the birthday celebration, which was a sweet touch! 🎂 The bathrooms were clean as well. One thing that rubbed me the wrong way was overhearing our waiter say, “Another one? I just gave him one,” when someone ordered a second orange juice. What he didn’t realize was that it was for his 5-year-old great-niece. An unnecessary comment, especially when we’re paying for our drinks. Now, the cocktails need work! The smoked cocktail was delicious, but the Palomas, martinis, and lemon drops were disappointing. They tasted like random mixes thrown together rather than properly made cocktails. DJ Motivate Merren was EVERYTHING! 🎶 He kept the atmosphere fun and lively. Once he left, the entire vibe changed, and not for the better. Would I return? Absolutely, especially when DJ Motivate Merren is there! It’s a nice brunch spot with good food and a fun atmosphere. However, improvements in accessibility, cocktail quality, and staff being mindful of their comments would make the experience much better!

    The music was extremely loud, making conversation nearly impossible. Despite requests from our table and another to lower the volume, it remained uncomfortably loud. We were celebrating my nephew’s birthday, and because he wears a hearing aid, the noise was particularly difficult for him. Music should enhance the dining experience, not prevent guests from enjoying conversation.

    Reunion BBQ feels like my second home now! Brunch was so delicious and the music was on point. The $29 all-you-can-eat buffet won us over, and my friend and I had a blast. Can't wait to come back next Sunday!

    The food was subpar, over cooked and dry. Didn’t have regular BBQ sauce. Drinks are overpriced. But the music and vibe were good.
