It's no secret that we have a loud and proud foodie population here in New England, and with good reason. Our restaurant industry is killing it, and there's never a shortage of new establishments opening their doors to the public. You can never run out of places to visit for your next dining experience, especially in Massachusetts.

When it comes to highlighting the best spots around, no one does a better job than LoveFood. From discussing the nation's top restaurants to sharing recipes, news, commentaries, and more, LoveFood is a foodie's digital paradise.

A while back, the site shared a list of the best barbecue restaurants in all 50 states, including an extremely popular establishment in the tiny, historic town of Sturbridge, Massachusetts.

Don't let the small size of this place fool you. B.T.'s Smokehouse is a fantastic Southern-style barbecue joint considered to be one of the best BBQ places in not only Massachusetts, but all of New England, according to The Boston Globe. Besides serving the typical BBQ options people know and love (like pulled pork, ribs, and beef brisket), they also have an assortment of sides, including mac 'n' cheese and potato salad. With both indoor and outdoor seating as well as takeout and catering options, there are plenty of ways for hungry customers to enjoy the deliciousness that is B.T.'s. Heck, they've even got vegetarian salads and sides.

Still need more proof that this place is worth the hype? If these pictures don't persuade you, we don't know what will.
