    • Description:

    • Geographically, this raucous restaurant is in Somerville, but in spirit it's on a Southern back road where the sun is hot, the beer is cold, and a slab of meat is done to a turn. Barbecued ribs (Memphis-, Texas-, and Arkansas-style), smoked beef brisket, fried Louisiana catfish, and grilled chicken come with appropriate side dishes such as coleslaw and beans. The chummy staff can help you choose sweet, hot, mild, or vinegar sauce. The best non-barbecue dish is a starter or dinner of succulent buffalo shrimp, swimming in hot sauce. Portions are large, so pace yourself. You'll want to try the appetizers and sides -- catfish "catfingers," succotash, corn pudding, and collard greens, just to name a few; if you're with enough other people, the appetizer samplers are a good deal. The only less-than-tasty dish I've had here was watery broccoli. The beer selection is huge, and there's valet parking for your bike. Given a choice, sit upstairs -- Underbones, downstairs, is a noisy bar.
