The wings are everything yumm! The full rack for two was perfect👌👌👌

Food is pretty on point for a generic (meaning non-region specific) ‘cue joint. Sides are solid. Decor and setting are weird. Plastic cups? After 15 years, needs a fresh perspective maybe.

In addition to some of the best Texas style BBQ outside of the Lone Star State, this place offers the best deviled eggs in the Five Burroughs

Great BBQ food, but not worth a long wait and poor service. Be sure to make a reservation or consider take out. Good "couples" option for sharing sides and ribs.

You will not be seated unless everyone in your party is in the building. Half of my party was crossing the street to come to the building and the hostess gave my table away. You've been warned.

Beef Brisket, Collard Greens and the Cornbread are my faves
Nathaniel KempJune 29, 2013
BBQ turkey burger with Swiss cheese. So juicy and good.

Brisket and pulled pork were wonderful. WILL BE BACK.

Fried tomato, devil wing, salted potato highly recommended! But the service is bleh
Tim UngerJune 16, 2013
The tall tables in the bar area are open seating and can cut a lot if time off your waiting list. Full menu.

Mac and cheese is AMAZING!!!!

It's definitely worth the walk off the subway train to get this delicious chicken and mac and cheese.

You have to try their Creole Deviled Eggs. Hands down the best deviled eggs I've ever had
Kyle SiskeyJuly 31, 2011
This place is the best in NYC. And there's not close competition. Been to Hill Country, West Village Dallas (not the chain one) and others and they don't compare in options or service.
Ivan NightingaleSeptember 24, 2014
I'm just itching to check this joint out, but it'll probably have to be a take out order, because I don't have the patience to wait on a line for longer than 20-30 minutes to eat. Unh unh.

The Sweetheart Deal for 2 is the best option if you're here with someone else.
Amanda Kowal KenyonJune 28, 2015
Fried green tomatoes with the best ranch dressing our planet has to offer.
Mariana SampaioMay 24, 2016
One of the best ribs I had in Manhattan 😋
Nadine MichelApril 11, 2013
Such tasty wings - love the fried green tomatos and they make great drinks
Jencey ProvoostJanuary 6, 2015
Get the ribs for two with mashed potato and mac&cheese - you'll thank me
CandiceSeptember 3, 2013
The wait was so worth it! The sweet tea is a must as is the beans.
Kisha LopezSeptember 10, 2011
If you're with friends order the family meal, its more than enough for four. The mac n cheese should definitely be one of your sides
Miisha ClarkJune 27, 2012
Every time I think about this place I want to cry happy tears...I've only been once so far but I wholeheartedly recommend the mac and cheese, if nothing else

Great BBQ and even better cornbread!

Wango tango wings to die for!

Try the Combo #3 Sirloin Steak, Baby Back Ribs, & 1/4 Rotisserie Chicken - INSANE!
Janine CoralApril 30, 2017
Sides are amazing.
Alice NgJanuary 21, 2016
The meat and sides special for 4-6 people can easily feed 8 adults.

Great beer selection! Love the angry orchard cider and Ithaca apricot brewskis.

Aside from the delish BBQ, you MUST try the fried green tomatoes here—you’ll thank us later.

The ribs aren't worth the long wait anymore. Considering its location... You can easily just go to Brother Jimmy's BBQ and wander the village after.
Wejdan ✨January 26, 2018
You have to have the fried green tomatoes!
Nicole WertzbergerJune 6, 2013

One of THE best turkey burgers in town. AND the Fried Green Tomatoes are like crack - get you some!

If the wait is long the standing tables at the bar are first come first serve.

Great BBQ. Big menu with lots of goodies.

If this is the best BBQ in the city, it leaves a lot to be desired...
Rem KoningNovember 23, 2015
Everything but accidentally putting too much haberno hot sauce on your ribs...
Jiin ChoiSeptember 22, 2013
Exclusive Dinosaur beers (ape hanger ale and smoked porter) are great!
Brian FehdSeptember 2, 2013
They don't take reservations for less than 6 so send someone in advance to put in your name & hang at the bar.
