I’ve enjoyed BBQ in North Carolina and fried chicken in Louisiana, but you won’t find anything better in all of New England than Mill City BBQ. The pulled pork was incredibly flavorful and juicy, the cornbread practically melts in your mouth, the sweet potato fries are freshly made, and the coleslaw is crisp (with the dressing on the side to keep it that way!). You can really tell that they care about their food here. Until today, I honestly believed I didn’t like red velvet cake. I thought it was meant to be dry and bland, salvaged only by cream cheese frosting. I was completely mistaken. Mill City’s red velvet cake was everything I’ve been told it should be. It was like the best chocolate cake and the best cheesecake coming together in perfect harmony.

The barbecue sauce is among the best I've ever tasted. I will definitely be returning!

The ribs were incredible, the pulled pork was delicious, and the fried chicken was both juicy and crispy. The cornbread was the best I've ever had, the mac and cheese was fantastic, and the coleslaw was excellent. Everyone enjoyed the food and had a wonderful time, especially the birthday girl. Thank you to everyone at Mill City BBQ!

They offer a variety of sauces including hot, Carolina gold, house, and sweet pineapple. Our favorites were the hot and house sauces. We tried the chicken wings, smoked sausage, and pulled pork, all of which were incredibly juicy and flavorful. The sides were fresh and tasty as well. For dessert, we enjoyed a fantastic coconut cake. The service was prompt and very friendly. The dining area was clean and pleasant. Prices are quite reasonable. We will definitely be returning!
