Ask what their "special burger" is if you find yourself here on a Monday night. (off-menu burger that changes weekly; some pretty inspired creations!)

Duck. Doesn't seem like it belongs on the menu...but oh so special and delicious. Don't think twice about it. Just get it. You be be very happy:0)

...visit this actual wood-burning BBQ joint located in Chelsea, which is known for serving dry rubbed authentic Smokey BBQ. A classic BBQ Ham Sandwich and some Onion Strings tasted well... Read more

This is the BBQ spot to be seen. Try everything on the menu, you will not be disappointed. Make sure to top your meal off with an order of Fried Oreos!

The most successful and creative ideas were the Szechwan Smoked Duck, a lacquered duck that was particularly good as a left-over the next day, and a bacon sandwich with fried green tomatoes. Read more

Short End of ribs, Burnt Ends, Beans, Vinegar Cole Slaw, and Fried Oreos are just a few highlights of R.U.B., my favorite barbecue joint in NYC.

The BBQ pastrami is the best thing that will ever go into your mouth. If you're here on a Monday from 6-8 ask for the secret burger menu. BEST BURGER IN NYC! Click the link Read more

The chili cheese fries are a must, as well as the combo sandwich with brisket and rib meat. You'll be leaving with a stomach ache for sure.

Ribs are excellent, burnt ends are excellent. They do it right. Second fave after Fette Sau.

Burgers are served on Monday nights only starting at 6 pm. Each week there is a different special. Tell 'em Burger Conquest sent you.

Get to Rub on a Monday between 6 & 9pm and grab the Rub Burger or their daily special burger. Always unique and tasty!

I second the Monday night burger tip and will add that they do TWO Monday night burgers--the house burger AND an homage to a regional specialty burger that changes each Monday

If its a Monday night ask for the secret RUB burger. Menu highlights: frito pie, smoked turkey and burnt ends. Ask for Andrew, tell em Rev from BurgerConquest.com sent you

Skip the pulled pork & brisket--both dry & have no smoked flavor at all. The pastrami has good flavor but is tough and chewy--Katz's or Carnegie do way better. The Ribs & Burnt Ends r where its at!
John Seaborne Jr.September 21, 2011
Good if you're from a state whose BBQ is pork-centric. Bread choices are awkward! Rye? With Pork BBQ? Enough said! They need Poppyseed long bun, none of this East Coast crap bread!

Best pulled pork in NYC! Go north Carolina style and only add the spicy vinegar sauce! Amazing!!
Sean McQuaideAugust 2, 2011
Awesome pulled pork! Plus a free beer upon check in. Try the hot sauce, it's not to hot.

Get the burnt ends when they have them. You won't be disappointed.

definitely take advantage of the free draft special. nothing like a turbo dog to wash down a pulled pork sandwich.
Aaron WilsonJune 6, 2011
The bar's happy hour ends at 6, so don't plan to get happy hour after work... (if you work till 6 or later)
Spencer FryJune 22, 2012
I recommend the pulled pork sandwich with a sloppy top.

The burger available on Monday nights only is great.

Love the burnt ends with a passion! That with a tap beer or dirty martini will do it!
Rodney SingletonNovember 20, 2011
Get the bacon chocolate chip cookies! They're the best!
Danielle RotondaJuly 13, 2011

Also the best duck in the city, with a blueberry glaze and smoked, it is the most succulent I ever had.

Don't let your boyfriend forget his card at the previous restaurant the night before. You will somehow need to pay

Get the BBQ Turkey sandwich with onion rings. Definite winner.

Go for bourbon sampler, best 25 bucks you will spend this year!
Connie KMay 14, 2010
Order the pulled pork platter, substitute the bread for a bun. The meat is tender and delicious!
