James River BBQ Sauce (Pack of 4)

I ordered this because I grew up near Boston and ate countless roast beef sandwiches over the years and wanted that flavor for my grilling and cooking at home. I always wondered why most store-bought BBQ sauces were thicker and just didn't have the same flavor. What was this mystery sauce? Finally a friend recommended this, and you'll see MOST of the reviews reference the many roast beef shops in Boston's North Shore that serve this stuff - it does NOT disappoint. It's great with everything. It's got just a tiny bit of spicy kick, but I love it and I generally do NOT enjoy spicy foods or condiments. It is not as thick as something like KC Masterpiece or Sweet Baby Ray's, which is heavier on that brown sugar sweetness - this is more like a tangy, spicy ketchup, maybe not even as thick as Heinz 57. Think more like tomato soup. I love the consistency, it's better in marinades or glazes than the thick stuff. I made pulled beef sandwiches with this - forgettaboutit - but it's even great just to dip fries in or spread on your sandwich. I was reluctant to commit to a $30 purchase of 4 large jars of BBQ sauce, but let me tell you, this stuff goes fast. It's pricey, but it's some of the best stuff on Earth. And good luck finding it anywhere else besides Smithfield's site, which is the same 4 for $30 deal. Might as well stock up!

This is The Best BBQ sauce

This is the same sauce used on hot roast beef sandwiches bought on the North Shore. The best in my opinion.

Use with shaved roast beef on Hamburg rolls. Great taste.

James river sauce is the best

Just like Royal Roast Beef in East Boston and Kelly's in Revere

Love this stuff. Best around

Best roast beef sauce on the planet Real New England sauce!
