Best Ribs

Gold Winner Boneheads BBQ

Silver Winner Mic Mac Bar & Grill

Bronze Winner Baton Rouge

Halifax’s riff on the eats of the deep south is on the deep south side of Barrington Street. That’s where Boneheads—the now eight-time winner in the Best Ribs category—lives in a little no-frills space that lets the food (and the smoky aroma) speak for itself. Saucy, charred and always a mess, these ribs round out a carnivorous menu of brisket, wings, pulled pork and chicken, sausage and other finger-licking snacks. Head here and prepare for a night of Wet Naps, dental floss and meat sweats.
