The Bar-B-Que Barn

Thank you so much BBQ Barn & Weber. You helped me get the right burner and manifold parts for my 15 year old grill. Parts are high quality and instructions easy to understand. Now my grill rocks again! Very grateful to BBQ Barn staff who figured out my model and parts needed based on just a sketchy photo. THANK YOU!

Good quality, fair pricing and knowledgeable friendly advice. They seem to specialize in Weber and Big Green Egg these days but have a few other brands too. Good supply of BBQ gadgets too. Excellent variety of woods in both chip and chunk for smoking and lump charcoal too. Certainly one of the better BBQ stores in the Boston area and WAY better than the selection or advice you’ll get a box stores. This is a friendly family run business and not some ultra high end Wolf, SubZero, Lynx etc BBQ jewelry store. Well worth a visit. Clearly a valuable resource for those in the Boston area. (Hint: use GPS to find it, it is only a few hundred yards off Mass Ave in Arlington but you’ll have trouble finding it without guidance).

The small location near Arlington Center has one of the best prices in the area for propane tank refills! Unlike tank exchanges at local hardware stores and supermarkets, they refill your tank to the legal limit. Bottom line you get more for less. They also have a great selection of accessories and while we haven’t needed parts, our understanding is they have a large stock at fair prices. The owner could be a bit friendlier but generally we arrive just before closing on a hot Saturday afternoon. Bottom line: Recommended for their great value on propane tank refills.

Went here from the suburbs because wanted a rather high end grill and needed guidance. Did not want to go to the big box stores and end up with rusting parts. Skip the online review websites and go to this store. Ask for Mary, she is very helpful and able to explain the benefits/​downside to various grills. The pricing seemed competitive, and they deliver outside the city for a nominal fee — able to get my grill to my deck in less than a week, all put together. This is the place to go when you need great service!

Bought my first grill from Dan 16 years ago and he has stood by that product ever since in a way you just don’t see anymore. Just went back for an upgrade and couldn’t be happier. This place is the real deal.

These folks know their BBQ’s. Fair pricing for what are good quality grills; but, if you’re looking for something inexpensive and disposable, this probably isn’t your place. Good guidance, and delivery service. Forgot to buy the bbq cover, and they were efficient on email to ensure one came with the delivery person.

Big Green Eggs rule. They makes incredible smoked meat. Bought one last summer and love it. Bbq Barn has everything you could ever want to smoke grill.

We had been to two hardware stores looking at grills, but had a few questions, and there had been no one around to answer them. I am so happy we found the Bar-​B-​Que barn. Within minutes of walking in, someone was answering our questions about smokers, showing us different options. It turns out, it was one of the owners helping us. She was super-​friendly, we had a good laugh about her new exchange student, who was a vegetarian (gasp!).
We settled on a Weber charcoal (we had looked at the same grill at the other stores, price was the same, maybe even 10 bucks cheaper) with smoker attachments. We had looked at other more expensive options (green egg, someday!), but we are apartment dwellers and needed a grill that would be easy to move in and out of a basement. We were never pressured to buy anything more expensive, but they also don’t sell a lot of the crap that a Home Depot has on display. The only dirty look we got was when my boyfriend mentioned lighter fluid. Mrs BBQ Barn handed us a box of starter cubes and said, «They’re 5 bucks.» Even though my boyfriend had been raised to use starter fluid, he was willing to concede this point to Mrs BBQ Barn. We just won’t tell his dad.

Thank goodness for the experts at The Bar-​B-​Que Barn — they saved our BBQ this weekend!
I have an extremely old Skyline Series Weber grill, and when we ran out of propane the new tank didn’t fit the hose on the grill. A trip to Home Depot yielded an adaptor that didn’t fit, and with 3 hours till BBQ time, I was getting desperate.
I called The Bar-​B-​Que Barn and spoke with one of the guys there, and when I described the problem he knew exactly what I was talking about and how to fix it. I ran over to their store in Arlington and in five minutes he had produce the piece that I needed to convert the hose on my old grill into one that would fit a standard propane tank, and even put some sealant on the piece so it wouldn’t leak when I installed it. He gave me a quick tutorial on how to perform the minor surgery needed to install the new piece and told me to invest in a 9/​16ths wrench and I was on my way. After arriving home, I was able to fix the grill in less than five minutes, and thanks to The Bar-​B-​Que Barn, when 20 guests showed up for dinner the grill was cookin’!
If you live in Arlington, Cambridge, Somerville, or anywhere in the surroudning area, I highly reccomend a trip to The Bar-​B-​Que Barn to fill or exchange your propane tank or stock up on grill accessories! They might even offer you a hot dog fresh off the grill while you are there :)
