Great selection of beer and whiskey with solid Carolina BBQ to top it off. Play some giant Jenga while you wait!
Paul SanwaldJune 27, 2015Pulled pork is great, comes with cracklins so ask for those separate if you don't like 'em. Loved the sweet potato waffle, didn't care for the Mac and cheese waffle.
Swift SwiftAugust 2, 2015Great beer selection and North Carolina style BBQ. The outdoor space is fantastic in the summer. They also do events and catering.
MarcDecember 11, 2017TT 8 Southern Places Outside South: NC BBQ; sprawling beer garden; whole hogs steals show (smoked for an entire day); inventive sides like m&c waffles; seldom-seen regional specialty outside brown
Emily KaneSeptember 20, 2015Grab a pal or two and get a nice spread paired with a variety of craft beers. Make sure to get the mac & cheese waffle. Just do it.
Micah ChilesApril 30, 2016Call ahead and order a whole pig. Great deal and comes with two sides. Delicious.
Get either a potato roll or the garlic bread with Apple Mustard slaw, pork belly and a sunny side egg on top of it all and never stop eating. Grab napkins, you'll cry with joy.
Saarim ZamanJune 21, 2016whole hog, outside browns and wings are all must-haves at this spacious BBQ joint. Come with a group and get a couple of pitchers to accompany the pounds of meat.
Kevin SkobacMarch 9, 2015No beef here; just Carolina style pork bbq... And all kinds of sides made into waffles, including delicious mac'n'cheese
Chris RaghoobarDecember 24, 2015I happened to stop in when Food Network was shooting something, so I got free food. Great food, with a great selection of beer. Very casual, kinda rustic vibe.
Andrea BarrezuetaJune 9, 2015Come early bcs on busy days food may run out and it's so good you'll want seconds. Just got to try the pork belly and Mac n cheese. Outstanding.
Philipp NassJanuary 31, 2018Awesome BBQ spot! Not as delicious as Fette Sau in Williamsburg but also slightly cheaper. Definitely worth a try if you‘re into meat!
Phil KatzSeptember 6, 2015Out of the way location, but well worth the trek. Great whole hog bbq and side dishes, especially the Mac and cheese waffle
Trista KempaAugust 5, 2015Wow amaze. Can't really say much other than that. Everything was incredible except for the mac and chz waffle. Meat was 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Alyssa VansickelApril 10, 2015The bartender is very dedicated to his craft and the beer selection is one of the best. Get a whiskey sour if you're not up for beer.
Pramod PaiMay 7, 2015Unique for its wood cooking of a whole pig, the “pigs are smoked slowly over live embers which burn down from hardwood logs.
Ask about the daily drink specials - they also have Sunday brunch now! WOOT!
Best damn BBQ in New York City. Best damn beer and whiskey list. Not the longest, but well curated.
Keith KerrApril 28, 2015Everything is a must have. Great bbq. And the Mac and cheese waffle is crazy good.
CarolynOctober 31, 2014Pulled pork, outside brown, Mac & cheese, Brussels & Apple slaw are all terrific
laura rubinFebruary 24, 2015Fried sweet potato waffle with bourbon maple syrup for $5 - game changer!
Alex PyatetskySeptember 26, 2018NC outside brown ok. Little tough. Fatty parts are better. Little annoying that can’t order 1/4lb. Wings pretty skippable. Want to try ribs, whole hog and kimchi pork belly.
loran jonakOctober 2, 2017Good BBQ but don't know why they have to close the whole place when they have an event in the back.
Christopher KutzDecember 27, 2017Bar food, not restaurant. Waffle mac & chs was awful. Collards were mostly dry meat. Not real eastern BBQ but pretty good. Owner didn't talk to the patrons. I wouldn't go again-wouldn't recommend it.
