Deliciously flavorful BBQ!! Gotta say though - the pulled pork, brisket and Mac & Cheese (as AMAZING as they are here) are better at their Brooklyn location.

13 wango tango as main, side of BBQ fried rice & choose one more (ask what side of the day and soup are!)
Vincent SteursNovember 14, 2013
Get the tres hombres (when you are hungry), or tres niños (when you are less hungry). You get to try three of the best options on the menu.
Jessica BishopOctober 24, 2014
Huge plate of BBQ, brisket and ribs plus 2 sides and cornbread. Best BBQ I've had in NYC!
Edmund BoeyApril 11, 2016
Delicious barbecue, ribs and pull pork are amazing, and a great value for money! Food portions are totally worth it!

Hailing from Syracuse, this popular rib joint boasts the best BBQ north of the Mason Dixon. We recommend the chicken wings and the BBQ rib smackers for fall-off-the-bone deliciousness.

Brisket. Just. Yes, get it. The plate is $18 but you get SO much food. Great value.
Jonathan L.September 15, 2014
Avoid the Mac & cheese and hot link sausage. Can't go wrong with the ribs and pulled pork. Excellent selection of beers for everyone's tastes.
Bullfrog & BaumSeptember 13, 2011
There are few places in New York that know their meat like Dinosaur BBQ. The BBQ's meat here is obviously the star, but don't forget about the fantastic salt potatoes and fried green tomatoes.

Baked Mac and Cheese was awesome, and the BBQ chicken was finger licking good, had it twice in the same night.

I love everything here, but the fried green tomatoes and ribs really stand out.
AlexSeptember 14, 2013

Deviled Eggs. Mac-n-Cheese. Potato Salad. All good. But... hands down some of the best Chicken Wings in NYC!
New York PostMay 24, 2013
Try Syracuse-style salt potatoes (boiled with lots of salt and served with butter), as well as popular wings ($3.95 for three, up to $13.95 for 13) barbecued to spicy perfection. Read more

The brisket is so tasty. I’ll pass on the Mac and cheese but the potato salad was perfect as a side to my meal.
Ryan GingeryOctober 26, 2019
It gets really crowded on the weekends. Make sure to reserve a table otherwise the wait is at least 45 minutes. Just a heads up to all my hangry folks.
Yolanda ShoshanaJuly 30, 2011
Finger lickin' good bar-b-que! Love going here. It's a great vibe and people from all backgrounds are at this joint. The have live music on the weekends. Worth a trip to Harlem!
Carmen Gloria RiquelmeMarch 18, 2016
The food is a little heavy, sauce is the best and the potatoes.Nice ambient, weekends is better make a reservation. Sometimes live music
Katie DesmondOctober 9, 2010
the best BBQ in NYC. call ahead to make reservations or get there early Thur-Sat. otherwise it's a mad scramble to grab a table at the bar or out front. great beer selection on tap, too.
Serious EatsMarch 14, 2013
John Stage's fun and un-fancy destination for ribs and other tasty barbecue. Wings are a must.
Sarah SeedsMarch 19, 2012
"Sweet-heart deal"full rack of ribs & 4 sides: the mac n' cheese, BBQ fried rice, potato salad, baked beans and deviled eggs are AWESOME. LOVE this place! Be prepared to wait if u walk in on weekends.
KarenJanuary 28, 2019
The food here is incredible. They're open late. The service is excellent.
Tabitha JohnsonAugust 14, 2016
Good meats, if you make a reservation, everyone needs to be there to sit down.
David ZhangSeptember 21, 2014
The sweet potato purée is amazing. All of their sides are fantastic actually. But the main dishes are just solid, not amazing.
Rahul GuptaAugust 29, 2017

We had a great time! The buzzfeed app is great use of technology to let you know when you're going to be seated. Our server was fantastic!
EvaJune 30, 2017
The Brisket, mac & cheese, shrimps, fried tomatoes and my favorite devil eggs are delicious.
Nicolette RomeroJuly 26, 2015

Love this place. My favorite wings anywhere. Great vibes, beer list and spirits list
AhmedJanuary 18, 2014
The best chicken wings I ever had and you MUST have the salty potato on the side. Great mac&cheese too.
Hailey NguyenJuly 4, 2017
Great ribs, brisket and wings at a very reasonable price
Joy AllenJuly 6, 2014
The food is fantastic but don't order your whiskey neat. They'll pour you a larger shot and charge you for a shot and a half without telling you because that's "how they do it."
Tiffany LangstonSeptember 4, 2014
Super popular. Expect hour-long waits during peak dining times. The barbecue is pretty good, but the fried green tomatoes are where it's at
Elizabeth DavisAugust 11, 2017
Was ignored at the bar ... he looked at me and walked to the lady sitting next to me ... After he helped her he started cleaning and walked to the back
Monique SmithNovember 1, 2015
The donkey punch packs quite the kick. You can't really go wrong with the desserts. The mac and cheese is really great

Maryann MorgenfruhOctober 6, 2017

Try the SWAG SAMPLER PLATE - Wings, fried green tomatoes, shrimp and deviled eggs... Nicely done!
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2013
Order the fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade, which has that smokey BBQ flavor with a spicy twist.
New York HabitatOctober 25, 2011
Up near Morningside Heights is some of the best BBQ in the city, but it's the fried green tomatoes and mac n cheese that make this place awesome.
Bella WessMay 29, 2015
This place is awesome! Put your names down and go to a bar next door for some cheap drinks and breathing room.
Nicholas ParillaDecember 24, 2010
