Best BBQ in the city imo. Pork belly is a must if they are serving it.
Kimmie NguyenAugust 7, 2014
We somehow beat the crowd on a Friday night. 7pm might be the sweet spot for brisket and beer.
Luis Sebastián MartínezMarch 26, 2015
Great brisket and pulled pork. Best baked beans in town. Ribs were slightly dry, though.
Karina EncisoAugust 18, 2013
The perfect BBQ sauce is 1/3 spicy +2/3 sweet! Deep your ribs and sausages and enjoy!!!!
Avi Ben-ZviMarch 30, 2017
Best bet is to go to hometown Bbq in red hook. Very pricey for terribly simple food.
Kat EganSeptember 18, 2010
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.
Jari MäkeläAugust 26, 2015
Very good BBQ. Quite close to the quality of The Mighty Quinn's but I still prefer MQ.
Carolyn TOctober 19, 2011
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
pernilla erikssonJune 4, 2016
Pulled pork with the tomato base sauce was amazing, best bbq I've had
Borja BurgosJuly 3, 2016
Best BBQ in the neighborhood. Can't forget to get some brisket.
Lamb ChiroApril 14, 2013
Get a little of everything. Skip the sausage. Flights of whiskeys and beers in mason jars rule.
Manish MelwaniJuly 4, 2010
get a couple of friends, a half gallon of Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold, a half gallon of Arcadia Whitsun, a pound each of pork belly, pulled pork, ribs and sausages. now ur ready to fuckin party.
Jico BaligodJuly 26, 2013
Bring extra napkins. Not for the mess, but for the tears of absolute pure bliss you experience while eating meat heaven.
Antoine MJuly 3, 2016
Insanely good meet. A bit of line up before bit definitely worth it!
Chuck PetersDecember 27, 2011
This place is AMAZING...every time I'm in NY..I have to stop by. My fav. meat is the brisket...gotta try it.
Irene FeleoDecember 5, 2016
Beef brisket and pork belly with potato salad and smokey chicken wings
Emma StorySeptember 21, 2011
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.
Tony IzzardSeptember 9, 2015
Really authentic BBQ food. Great smoky hot sauce on my ribs. Yum!
david ' dj shakez ' thaiMay 23, 2014
I'd come here for the amazing Bourbon selection if bbq isn't your thing!
ShadiMay 12, 2013
Hipster BBQ, no frills in Brooklyn. I love this place
Cameron KetchamApril 29, 2016
Everything is delicious. I especially like the brisket.
Patrick McJuryJune 23, 2010
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

Amazing meat in a totally rustic setting. Depending on when you go, expect to wait. Read more
GoerlitzApril 28, 2010
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!
AllisonApril 25, 2013
The ribs have a beautifully sweet char to them. I'm from texas and I approve this bbq!

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.
Steven LuAugust 27, 2014
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.
laura laneJuly 11, 2011
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.
Kate I.August 22, 2014
Love the set up here...eat on picnic tables. BBQ is to die for.
7th.ListDecember 19, 2011
Service: Great once you get there, but slowSetting: Open-air space (often packed) with picnic tables for seatingMust-Haves: Lamb belly Read more
Sam GilApril 27, 2017
Overrated. Hometown much better. Had brisket, pork belly, ribs, and chicken. Was 6pm on a Wednesday and lukewarm so maybe different fresh.
Mike WinstonJune 24, 2014
As incredibly good as the real deal BBQ spots in Texas and I don't take that statement lightly. Don't miss the Beef Brisket, Sausage, and Beef Short Ribs. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
Caroline LeFebruary 3, 2016
brisket, pulled pork and beans were amazing
Christopher AllbrittonJuly 24, 2015
Oh man. What an amazing bbq place. Everything is good here.
Amy TremmelMarch 23, 2015
Best BBQ in williamsburg. The crowds are a little much though.
Sally YoonJune 1, 2012
brisket, St. Louis Style Pork Ribs, Hand Pulled Berkshire Shoulder, drink Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold...by the 1/2 gallon

Try the Assorted Meats and Sides - The best BBQ that I had tried so far. Very tender and juicy.
Kirill KukuruzaMay 8, 2016
Brisket, brisket and one more time brisket!!!
Travis BloomSeptember 11, 2015
It's as good as you've heard. Don't forget to order the pickles

Try the Pickel And Broccoli Salad - The broccoli salad was delicious :) it was lightly boiled with spicies
Brigette K.February 9, 2013
The trick is to come after a snowstorm. No line and available seats!
DevApril 21, 2013
Try come on weekends. That's when they have non menu items. Like Rib Eye and Wagu Beef
Edmund BoeyApril 11, 2016
Delicious barbecue at your friendly Williamsburg price...pricey..
Fadia KaderMay 13, 2012
Long lines but worth the wait! Make sure one of you grabs a seat - communal style!
Rem KoningMay 23, 2015
Brisket is fantastic. One of the first urban BBQ joints.
MazilNovember 8, 2014
Tip for the BBQ newbies like me: a quarter pound is a good single serving size.
Buford BarnesMay 21, 2012
Some of the best barbeque in the city. It can be a little expensive, but worth it.
Design*SpongeMarch 27, 2011
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!
