Momma Lo's Southern Style BBQ

AVOID! Terrible disgusting food. Should call this place Momma NOs! Having had the unfortunate displeasure of wasting over $40 on 2 sandwiches and ribs, I can’t fathom the rave reviews. The old lady behind the counter ( I assume Momma No-No herself) barely engaged us, and when she did it wasn’t very pleasant. She seemed disinterested and annoyed - only mumbled to tell us they didn’t have. (Pulled chicken, rice, and salad). All the food came out of those cheap foil pans from the supermarket. Clearly yesterday’s left overs. The ribs were dry, tasteless and chewy. Had to be at least 2 days old. The collard greens were horrid - also dry and tasteless. Rough chopped, big pieces of stems. The beans, (served ice cold by the way) were just plain old beans - no pork, no bacon, etc. Bush’s

Driving in the area and stopped in because of other reviews. Did not disappoint. Best collards I've had in a long time. Everything else good too. Nice lady. Good prices. Quick service. Tiny counter service take-out shop, but there are tables just outside the door in the common areas, and also outside.

Phone did not eat first because I was so hungry! Stopped here after a hike and was not disappointed. Had the pulled pork sandwich with slaw and Mac and cheese. Slaw was phenomenal. Pork was tender and flavorful. Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. Sweet people working there too:)

First off, having bbq in Great Barrington is a real win, long needed in this area. Beyond that, the folks running this place are incredibly friendly and warm, and purely on service I will be coming back. Food wise, having just spent 10 days in TX hitting up stellar bbq and smoking meats myself, I think they are doing a great job and it hits the spot. The fried chicken is fantastic, the brisket is tender, and I’d only maybe add some salt or jalapeños to the mac and cheese (but it’s perfectly good as it goes). Really great place, definitely worth a stop in!

On a recent trip from NY we stopped at Mama Lo's for a takeout order of barbecue. Unfortunately, we arrive just beyond closing time and boy were we disappointed. Mama Lo saw the look on our face and quickly packed us up a an assortment of barbecue heaven. We chowed down later that evening on some of the most delicious and authentic southern style barbecue we've ever tasted. I'll be making sure I arrive earlier on my next trip to Great Barrington so I can sample more of this delicious food. This food will not disappoint.
