This place is a meat trough and its AMAZING
Ras MaliceSeptember 2, 2013
Everything was quite delicious, but RIBS are the shining star of the meats. Bringpatience with you--the seating situation is a free for all. Sides: Broccoli salad is a go+tasty pickles. Will return

For BBQ and Meat lovers! Awesome Brisket, Pork Ribs and Berkshire Belly. The Baked Beans and Potato Salad are rockin. Get a pitcher of Sly Fox Rauch.

The patio is the perfect place to enjoy some barbecue and craft beer on a warm afternoon. The meat is a bit spicy, but that's a good thing in my book.

Genuinely incredible BBQ in NY. Not to be confused with "good BBQ FOR NY" - it's actually amazing. Pulled pork is a staple and their specials and ribs are always outstanding. Get a beer while in line

Great bbq, of course. Great variety of fresh draft beers - very nice and friendly stuff. Always a must when in NYC. Biggest surprise (recommended): the cider
Emiliano ViscarraDecember 28, 2015
One of the best places I found for eating BBQ. It's my favorite along with Mighty Quinns. Only downside is that you need to wait in line and then find a seat so it's annoying for big groups.
Brian StraussJanuary 31, 2019
Kind of a “best of” bbq style. Delicious. My brisket had a few nice crispy bits in it. Ribs don’t need it at all, but there are at least 3 sauces to choose from on the tables.

1. Wait in line while drinking spiked sweet tea. 2. Order brisket and burnt-ends baked beans. 3. Douse everything in spicy mustard sauce. 4. Happily roll yourself home. Read more

I love you. Amazing juicy BBQ. Great sauces. Usually come with a friend and get at least a half pound of each thing. Without a doubt my favorite place in NYC. Get there early, lines are standard.

Infatuation: "...pretty much always have brisket & pork ribs. Order both & ask for a lean cut of brisket, which crumbles as you cut into it, as well as plenty of sides, like burnt end baked beans."
Dominik L.September 23, 2014
Beautiful location, awesome food (ask for a mixed plate) and friendly staff which would not loose their coolness if they would give their customers a smile from time to time! :)
Kimmie OhhJanuary 3, 2020
Meats are priced by the half pound. Get the beef brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork shoulder, pork belly, pork pastrami loin & pork spicy sausage - get all the meats!
Stefan ErschwendnerJuly 23, 2016
Amazing BBQ joint and craft beer selection. Pulled pork, brisket and chicken were awesome
Vito TartagliaOctober 14, 2015
Averaging $25/pd, a perfect bbq meat that will bring you in heaven. The pork belly is highly suggested. Also good beers on tap. A must for meat lovers.
Mara LecocqSeptember 7, 2014
Great food, communal tables, easy going and cool vibe. Probably went there 8 times. Always bring tourist friends there or just go there cause of craving

It’s a former ironworker’s shop, refitted with long picnic tables, giant smokers, and a bourbon bar. And it serves some of the best BBQ north of the Mason-Dixon. Read more

Smoky as a brush fire on the prairie. The boutique meat selection is quirky and variable. Sides like potato salad and crunchy pickles are better than even Texas barbecues. Read more

Everything at this spot is to die for! Great bbq. Get the Sauerkraut, too! Only problem is that I always leave with a food coma 😉
Jose TorresJune 28, 2018
Order 1/2 pound per person and you can get 1/4 pound of different meats to sample a few items. The beans and the broccoli salad are awesome!! All meats are fantastic!!
Yanin De JesusDecember 11, 2014
I love the belly, sausage and beans. The pulled pork and ribs are great. This is what my bf and I get all the time:2 sausagesSmall beansPickles1/3 lb belly1/3 brisket1/4 pulled pork
Serious EatsJune 27, 2013
An ever-popular neighborhood spot with plenty of good beer to go along with the 'cue. The specials cuts, like pork cheeks and lamb belly, are by far the best.
Nicholas LambertJune 27, 2014
Half a pound of brisket, half a pound pulled pork, sausage and BBQ beans + potato salad - enough for 3 of us to share but could've eaten twice as much. Soooo tasty.
EaterSeptember 18, 2010
Once a trendsetter, now a member of the Williamsburg establishment, Fette Sau serves up a rotating menu of pork and beef ribs that leads some to tag it as the best BBQ in NYC. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Brisket w/ a side of baked beans and cornbread 10/10. Grab some beer, from 1/2 pint to gallon, at the bar to wash it all down.
Calvin TeohOctober 8, 2012
Come hungry. Meat by the pound American BBQ at it's best. Vegetarians steer clear. Communal seating here so get one of your party to secure a spot while someone else goes up and orders.
DailyCandyNovember 20, 2013
As legit a cocktail bar as hip mess hall. Grab a muddled bourbon cocktail while you wait to weigh-to-pay your portions of pork (belly, shoulder, cheeks), Wagyu beef, and broccoli salad.
pablcoDecember 1, 2013
short rubs are by far the best, pork belly is also good, take the german salad and some beans. Sausages are not so high quality compares with the rest, a meal around 30$ and beer 7$

Spread your group out wisely. One person waits in line for the meat and orders for the table (sharing is caring), one person to the bar for liters of beer. And 1 brave soul looks for a table.
RJ DuganSeptember 5, 2013
Send someone to order drinks from the bar while you wait in line-it gets long. Everything is good (for meat lovers) except for the brisket. Brisket is tough to get right in large quantities-imo. GF!

Get saucy at this festive, industrial-looking BBQ spot, housed in a former garage. Toast to your birth with beer by the gallon and whiskey by the Mason jar. Read more

Amazing Food. The meat is awesome and the beer is great. You need nothing more but you will also get a cool atmosphere.
Ed FrazierOctober 1, 2013
Ribs, Brisket were on point! Bourbon Mule (Bar) was fantastic! Get there around 7 for little to no wait! Don't forget desert and plan on eating too much food :) All major CC accepted!
JunkyardJoeAugust 12, 2014
The pulled pork and pork belly are delicious! The brisket is not as tender and savory as it should be. The beans are ok. Go with a group and share a large tray of food.
Ale TowerMarch 12, 2017
One of the best BBQ spots in NYC, although I once got a lot of really fatty meat. Best to point to the server which cuts you're looking for in the meat you want.
Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014
Don’t forget to send a buddy to the bar for growlers of beer and shots of bourbon. Then sit at one of the picnic tables take a deep breath, and dig in. Read more
Ed FrazierSeptember 30, 2013
Yeah it's THAT GOOD! Brisket and ribs are off tha chain! Go to the bar and get a burbon mule! Oh and that key lime pie will get you making funny faces!

BBQ Brisket: "Everything you could possibly require on a cold winter night: a blazing fireplace, vast quantities of smoky, succulent barbecue, and a wide selection of excellent whiskeys." Read more
J ScottJuly 30, 2012
Just want to experience the delicious meats an laid bak environs (Williamsburg for driveway, but it's good) come before 6:30 on a Monday. Btw that beverage pictured is =pts ginger ale, root beer & Ri.
Joy ChenJanuary 17, 2016
Baked beans here are phenomenal: they've got bits of pork shoulder, bacon, and beef cooked with the beans in a tangy, splashy sauce that pairs well with your BBQ main.
Bastian BergmannApril 17, 2017
Ribs and pulled pork are phenomenal. What trumps everything are the fried beans as a side - an absolute must!
Danny TrejoAugust 9, 2015
Excellent BBQ. Prepare to wait in line for a while of you get there during peak hours. Go to the bar, grab a drink and wait in line. It's worth it.
Rachel JeongApril 28, 2017
Pork ribs and pork belly are the best ones. I'm loving it!! 👍
Abdullatif ANovember 8, 2014
Great BBQ joint inside a garage. They have an amazing brisket. Try not to miss it while you're in Brooklyn.

If you can't go to Delaneys Briskettown, this place does great brisket too. Pork belly, bacon, and those beans are also great. Ribs and pulled pork are fine.
Rich KearneyNovember 12, 2012
Brisket, pork, sausage, beans, sauerkraut, mac and cheese, GET IT ALL and make amazing little sandwiches with your potato rolls. Oh! and try all the different bbq sauces, they're all awesome.
Haley Hughes BryanJune 10, 2012
Slap your mama it's so good! Get the pork ribs, pork shoulder (no sauce, perfect smoky flavor), brisket, and burnt end baked beans with a beer to wash it down with.
Raphael LangenscheidtJuly 15, 2015
Still got it. Even after years, the brisket is great and the ribs fall off the bone. If you're in the mood for bbq, it's pretty much exactly the right place.
NoviOctober 2, 2019
Amazing bbq!!! Go for the brisket & some sausage. Felt like the meat just melts in your mouth 🤤
Giovanni D'PalmaJanuary 28, 2017
The ribs were delicious! I enjoyed the pulled pork and brisket a lot as well. The bbq sauce options are perfect individually or mixed.
