Roxbury's home for crispy catfish, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and cornbread that'll change your life - family recipes handed down for generations.
The Poppa B's Story
At Poppa B's BBQ SOUL, every plate carries a legacy. We cook the way family taught us - catfish dredged in a cornmeal mix passed down through generations, ribs smoked low and slow, greens simmered with love, and cornbread baked golden and buttery. Rooted in Roxbury and generous to the last bite, we serve soul food that feeds more than hunger. Pull up a chair, grab a plate, and taste the warmth of the South right here in Boston.

Straight From The Table
Fried Catfish Plate slaps! As a southerner, this is my go-to meal from Poppa B's and it consistently delivers. 2 fat pieces of catfish, greens w turkey meat, potato salad, & cornbread, for me the cherry on top, is the 2 tarter sauces and Hot Sauce because IYKYK. Love this place!
Sara L
The whiting is cooked just right. The seasoning is on point. The collards are very good and the baked macaroni and cheese is old-school Southern (I venture to say Miss'sip perhaps?) This is my go to plate.

The best soul food I've ever had. The collard greens were downright magical and the cornbread changed my life
