    We've been meaning to try Firefly's for a long time, and glad we finally did!! Great authentic BarBQ with a variety of sauces and interesting sides. Extensive menu. Must try the sweet potato pecan pudding! It's like dessert. Casual atmosphere, attentive staff. A fun place and a great meal!

    Firefly’s BBQ hosts some of the BEST ribs we’ve ever had. Our kids are not big meat eaters, but they BEG us to take them back to Firefly’s. We travel all the way from Boston proper just to eat there. And my daughter requested it as her special birthday lunch. Friendly staff, lots of choices as far as BBQ sauce is concerned and the meat absolutely falls off the bone!!

    The servers were very friendly and efficient. One thing that did not sit well with me was the male manager who yelled at an employee in front of all of who were waiting to be seated. VERY unprofessional in my opinion. The food was just okay. My chicken was really greasy and over salted. My friend had ribs and he said they were delicious and he enjoyed his meal.

    The food is always excellent here! I get cravings sometimes for their fried chicken. The beer selection is decent but nothing to write home about. But hey, the food is good enough to make up for that. The only reason I didn't make this a 5 star review was the service. We got seated in the bar, right next to where the music was playing (the restaurant description says you have to call to be seated here, rather than make a reservation through OpenTable, but that's where they put us anyway). Noise level was high, as was fully expected given the location, and I was fine with that. What I wasn't fine with was the fact that our server's visits to our table were extremely infrequent. I probably would have had more to drink, or dessert as well, except that I knew it would probably add more than an hour to my & my hubby's date night. A pity, because their red velvet cake was amazing the last time I had it.

    Food was delicious as always, but definitely not an inexpensive night out. A popular spot that makes parking a challenge, but valet parking was a nice touch. Decor is not so much could use a refresh.

    Firefly's is one of our favorite restaurants that has been in our rotation for years. The BBQ is excellent, great sides to choose from, portions are generous and they have a nice outdoor seating area for the warmer months. We live 45 minutes away and feel it is definitely worth the drive.
