Ashley RoseMarch 12, 2016BBQ - but watch out, on the weekends during the brunch hours (11-4) they don't have corn bread!
Elizabeth ApollonJune 26, 2018Barbecue is delicious. Try the creamy Mac and cheese. It’s very filling
Village VoiceJanuary 25, 2013Mable's Smokehouse & Banquet Hall (& 50+ other eateries) will be sampling their fare at our 2013 Choice Eats tasting event on 3/19 - can't wait! http://ow.ly/h6OAc
ExperiencesAugust 10, 2012Rad sides, solid BBQ, and you don't have to throw elbows to get a seat like you do at *some* BBQ places... <cough><Fette Sau><cough>
D.J. SullivanAugust 13, 2013Brisket was excellent. Strong flavor. Bbq beans also great. Good price & friendly service.
Birrinhas MagazineMay 28, 2013Nice place to drink while you wait for the Brooklyn tour. Read more at birrinhas.com
Carrie BrownNovember 11, 2014As one who knows BBQ after six years in Memphis, I'll say this is VERY tasty. Pulled pork Sammy was...amaze.
Hal MillerJuly 21, 2012Love the dark wood decor and relaxing atmosphere. I'm a big fan of the brisket and the mac n cheese.
Michele NunziataJuly 27, 2013Great brisket and pulled pork. It's kinda loud in there and has a cafeteria feel but the food is worth it.
Drew MurphyJanuary 10, 2012A good alternative to Fette Sau, food is really good but limited (ribs, pulled pork and brisket only). No wait and near cool stuff
Matt RichardsonApril 8, 2012The pulled pork and brisket are excellent. Be prepared for counter service at sit-down service prices. Worth it though.
Lance LacoffJuly 9, 2015The brisket and pulled pork were standouts. The Mac n cheese is pretty creamy.
Kash GuhaMarch 17, 2012Everything is good here, I particularly liked the ribs, brisket, and collard greens. Their sauce is amazing!
Cooper SmithDecember 16, 2012If you order a platter, you get two sides. There's no rule that says they both can't be Mac N Cheese
Caitlin ClementsApril 20, 2015Thrillist included their mac & cheese on their 4/20 "munchies" list, and it looks so rad! Read more
The New York TimesNovember 29, 2011Recommended: Brisket, vegetarian sloppy Joe, potato salad, stewed corn, borracho beans, peanut butter pie. Read more
Jay ChinthrajahApril 21, 2013I was already aware of how awesome their brisket was, but their ribs are to die for!
Charisma CharismaMay 2, 2011Ribs, brisket, potato salad, beans awesome. Cornbread bad (no taste). Coleslaw dry. All in all good meal, will be back.
Jamie WaughMarch 26, 2011It's owned by a Kentucky gal. They pour a solid Manhattan. The food looks insane, but i'm so jazzed i'm leaving a tip even before eating. Just come. Seriously.
Bj LoveJuly 4, 2011Love this place! I've been here twice and I live in San Diego!! It's grandmas cooking for sure !!
Smoked meat, whiskey and country music. It's a dream come true.
Jenny UngFebruary 23, 2014The St. Louis ribs, collard greens, and candied yams are the best here. #Texan
SkeeterNYCJune 21, 2011Beef brisket (extra sauce), Mac n Cheese, corn off the cobb, potato salad. This is how you do it.
Frito pie, rotel dip (with tortilla chips) & even a veggie sloppy joe option. I'm in love!!!
P NewtonDecember 19, 2011We had our wedding reception here and love coming back! GREAT place for a party or group dinner!
Surprisingly good BBQ just around the corner from us! Ribs were fantastic.
