B-ACK Yard BBQ

"I had a second opportunity to eat at B-ACK Yard BBQ today, Christmas Eve 2023. I arrived just after noon and the place was empty. Yay. First I have to say that I grew up in Kansas City where barbecue IS life. A few years ago, I ate at SIX different BBQ places from the Wednesday before Thanksgiving through the Saturday after. I believe that real BBQ or just grilling can only be done over charcoal or wood. The very nice waiter came to our table to start our order right away. After ordering drinks, he returned to explain the three sauces on the table. He stated that the "sweet" sauce was like a Kansas City sauce with the usual hint of vinegar. The "yellow" sauce was like a Carolina type sauce made of a mustard base. The "hot" was supposed to be medium heat. The yellow was interesting and tasty. The 'Kansas City' style sauce did not taste like any sauce that I have ever had in or around Kansas City. It is probably best used on meat on the grill when nearly done. I might use it on chicken or burgers but never on ribs, brisket or burnt ends. I ordered a glass of wine, DUCK wings and fries. My daughter ordered lobster Mac n Cheese and a Chardonnay. Service was quick and the food was good. The order of fries was huge but I got them all down. On Nantucket, nothing is inexpensive. The two meals with a total of three glasses of wine was $114 before tip. Service was good and they came to check on us at least three times. Food was pretty good and I would eat there again. The atmosphere is nice and there is a bar. It is located at the bottom of Main Street on what is considered Straight Wharf, literally steps from the HyLine Ferry. Today was actually a re-do for B-ACK Yard because I had eaten there shortly after they opened and was not impressed. Now at least I can say that I would voluntarily eat there and enjoy it. Good job."

"Northeastern style BQ. Good food & service. Drinks are solid & strong. Highly recommend the “ Selfie Platter”. Mac & Cheese is great side dish. Kielbasa & Pineapple appetizer is Worthy of trying."

"This place has good service and very good food. I ordered the big pig and I liked it. The corn was the best one I’ve ever had (no kidding). The food also has big portion which is I would say worth it for the price."

"It’s a BBQ resturant on an island in Massachusetts - that should say enough. Food and service were mediocre. This place came highly recommended and I was less than impressed. The ribs were decent but the rest of the meats we got were over-cooked and lacking flavor. Our waiter forgot to give us any sauces until we asked (at a BBQ RESTURANT!) and was extremely inattentive throughout the entire meal. Regarding the sides, the cornbread was good but the 3-5 person portion came with a measly 2.5 pieces. The collared greens had potential but the vinegar was overpowering. The lobster mac was good so if you do come here I would stick to the mac & cheese and cornbread for sides. For ~$45/person I would definitely not come back here given the unexciting food and lack of service."
