Brian MasefieldJanuary 27, 2016For lunch/brunch, split a "Pick 3" with a friend or two. Plenty of food and saves ya some money.- Sefi KeiniMay 12, 2016Fried green tomatoes, wango tango wings and ribs are great. The sides and everything else is rather average
Francis UdlerFebruary 23, 2015So good!! Mac and cheese is great! Portions are big! Ribs and sandwiches.
Rem FSeptember 9, 2013Food & Service was 10/10. Ordered the Sweetheart Deal. Full rack of ribs + 4 homemade sides. Easy on the pocket :)
Belky BustosAugust 18, 2015Fried green tomatoes were amazing like a flavor bomb especially when dipped into the sauce
Tieysha CallisteNovember 2, 2014The sweet potato mash was amazing.... Try the cheesecake and the Black Jack pie...sooooooo good
Always check the order. Just bought $69 worth of takeout and they left out an entree and a side.
Chris EvansAugust 31, 2015Everything is pretty good, but you want to stick to the pulled pork and ribs. 🐷
Mell PerlingAugust 23, 2014Brisket is solid, as are chicken wings. Mac n cheese is forgettable. Focus on the meat and you'll be fine
family style dinner huge plates for sharing. bring a party!
The “Ode to Upstate” is a can of Genesee and a shot of Beam for $6.50.
MimiJune 29, 2013Yes to pulled pork, ribs, potato salad, and black eyes peas with kale. No to brisket, inedible.
Marek FiserMarch 14, 2014Get the sweethearths deal. Ribs and 4 side dishes of your choice. Really nice!
Eduardo SantanaAugust 14, 2014The deluxe brisket is just right for two. Not too full and not too mu¢h.
Lenny GalloMarch 21, 2014While the Harlem location has a better selection of choices, the skirt steak is a true standout.
Sample swag platter is a must. Turkey neck collards are on point.
You can share the combination for two with the sides! The best BBQ...period!
Great food all around, but the Mac & Cheese was out if this world!!
Not looking to wait 2 hours? The bar is self-seating. Grab a beer and you'll be eating in no time! (and happier while you do it)
Never disappointed when I come here. The brisket is off the chain!!!!!!!
Anthony MDecember 27, 2013You get your food five minutes after you order quick service and food is delicious!
JPFebruary 20, 2016If you don't know Dino BBQ you don't know BBQ. Much better service than the Harlem location
Lara YilmazNovember 10, 2014Best wings in Brooklyn! If you like hot, you probably like eating there.
Robert BraistedSeptember 24, 2013Wings are awesome, especially the sesame hoisin and the wango tango.
Do not leave here without eating mac n' cheese. Add some Dino BBQ sauce to it.
- Alex RainertJune 20, 2013The Syracuse Pale Ale harkens back to the OG Dino BBQ and also happens to go down real nice too.
Al DoanMarch 14, 2014Skip the brisket and the beans. They were pretty bad. The ribs and Mac and cheese were strong though
