(Nov. 27, 2013) Authentic barbecue with a Nantucket twist. That’s the plan for a new restaurant set to open by early spring in the former Cap’n Tobey’s building on Straight Wharf.

Brant Point Grill chef Fred Bisaillon and his girlfriend Denise Corson, former Tobey’s manager and longtime veteran of the island bar and restaurant scene, are behind B-ACK Yard BBQ, whose menu will include different ’cue styles from around the country, along with a selection of Kentucky bour­bons, Tennessee whiskeys and beer in an upscale sports-bar themed first-floor space currently undergoing a massive renovation along with the rest of the building.
