Barbecue means different things to different people.
What type of food is served, how it should taste, and what look is the best are all vigorously debated throughout the country. But if there is one thing that everyone agrees on, it’s that barbecue is the art of slow cooking for the group's enjoyment. Lily’s Craft Barbecue was founded on this simple premise. We blend the best practices and flavors throughout the country to celebrate our time together. From movie nights with friends to 100-person family reunions to an ordinary Sunday night dinner, we’ll bring juicy ribs and mac and cheese to make your time together a little bit better.

Lily’s is named in honor of our pit master Chris’ mother.
Lily loved her family. She loved the kitchen. She loved life.
And what she loved most was having people over while the grills were fired up, the drinks were cold, and the music was country. Though she was born and raised on the south shore of Massachusetts, she was a country girl at heart, and she lived her life with a self-imposed sense of southern hospitality. Lily lost her battle with Frontotemporal Dementia and ALS in 2019 but at Lily’s Craft Barbecue, we celebrate her love of crafting a meal for people to share, memories to be made, and engaging conversation to unfold.

Welcome to Lily’s Craft Barbecue!
