    Best BBQ in the city imo. Pork belly is a must if they are serving it.

    We somehow beat the crowd on a Friday night. 7pm might be the sweet spot for brisket and beer.

    Great brisket and pulled pork. Best baked beans in town. Ribs were slightly dry, though.

    The perfect BBQ sauce is 1/3 spicy +2/3 sweet! Deep your ribs and sausages and enjoy!!!!

    Best bet is to go to hometown Bbq in red hook. Very pricey for terribly simple food.

    I'm addicted to the brisket. Great beers and bourbons. Love the pickles. The red bbq sauce in the big container is my favorite. Could eat it by itself.

    Ask for rolls so you can make sliders wth the brisket and pulled pork.

    Very good BBQ. Quite close to the quality of The Mighty Quinn's but I still prefer MQ.

    Get a beer in a mason jar from butchery-inspired taps, order the pickles, steal barbecue sauce from someone else's table and get the pork ribs

    Get a little of everything. Skip the sausage. Flights of whiskeys and beers in mason jars rule.

    Try to go early in the evening, because it can get super crowded here. But it's a great place to eat before a show at Knitting Factory.

    Go to Fette Sau and eat your hearts content of great bbq, craft beers, and craft soda. Try the smoked pork belly. You shouldn't be eating it, but it's so good. Read more

    Not the most visible or flashy location - and that's perfect for this concept. Fette Sau is definitely worth going out of your way to visit, if you like high quality pork and beer!

    Some of the best bbq in the city, don't order more than you can fit in your stomach. Find a seat, then go up to get beer.

    Compared to the other places around, it's alright. Their brisket is on the drier side but their pork ribs are pretty good. It's also a bit on the expensive side.

    Bring a friend that can hold down a table while you order the grub. Hipsters are quick. And the Pilsner is great. Old Yankee is too.

    Overrated. Hometown much better. Had brisket, pork belly, ribs, and chicken. Was 6pm on a Wednesday and lukewarm so maybe different fresh.

    Tip for the BBQ newbies like me: a quarter pound is a good single serving size.

    Check out the beer tabs at the bar! Better yet, order a whiskey flight! There's even a flight for raw dog - aka raw whiskey!
