Great ribs. Get there early if you're going to a show at the Jazz Standard.
JariJuly 17, 2018
Very good. Baby back ribs and chicken wings.
Nick JohnsonAugust 8, 2015
If you get the side orders you're going to want the full portion.
Mike FraiettaDecember 10, 2014
Not bad BBQ if stuck in Manhattan, but I'd go to Beast of Bourbon or Fette Sau in BK if you need a real fix. Impressive beer rotation.
Michelle TNovember 12, 2010
I second the spicy cheese fries - there's just something about pigging out from a bucket that adds to the allure! My friend was pleased with the huge gluten-free menu that's mostly unadvertised.
Cameron GidariFebruary 28, 2017
The burnt brisket tips and slaw are great.
Ray LinNovember 10, 2013
Classy BBQ joint with tender, juicy brisket and great service and atmosphere.

go for brunch - fried chicken sammie with egg & pimento cheese on a doughnut
Canada O'DayJuly 2, 2012
The frybread is really delish!!! Great cocktails too, including really strong mint juleps and Lynchburg lemonade.
The New York TimesAugust 27, 2010
Great service and plenty of room make this our best family barbecue restaurant. Bring the kids for beef ribs, pit beans, dessert cookies.
Yoni ZloczewskiDecember 20, 2015
Average BBQ but it's one of the only sit down proper BBQ environments so if your party is fussy and doesn't like ordering at the counter or sitting on benches - that their fancy pants to Blue Smoke
Robert KimAugust 13, 2016
Great BBQ food! Absinthe as a digestiv was a cheeky find as well
Margaret MolloyOctober 17, 2015
Outstanding choice for people with allergies: menu detailed top 7 allergens.
Julian SilvaOctober 4, 2013
A pretty sterile place but it's midtown so there you have it. No happy hour but Imperial Pints. Between here and Shorty's or Barfly i'd stick with Shorty's.
Miss Uniqua MercedesApril 10, 2013
Can get really crowded at night but its worth it! Different types of ribs for your preference.

Best BBQ I have had and I live in the south!
San SanSeptember 5, 2018
Brisket, Mac and cheese, cream spinach were great. Ribs were ok
Hal MillerDecember 3, 2011
You can take your time here and enjoy a tasty meal. Plenty of space (stroller-friendly) and great service.
Wei VaynOctober 13, 2015
Try the Warm Barbecue Potato Chips With Blue Cheese & Bacon Dip (via @Foodspotting)
San SanSeptember 5, 2018
Brisket, Mac and cheese, cream spinach were great. Ribs were ok.
Joe CheskinAugust 11, 2014
I could eat their chicken wings all day...but then I wouldn't have room for the ribs!
Julie StubbsMarch 12, 2014
As a born and raised Southern Girl, I rate this BBQ ordinary. They try to do 2 much here with the Memphis, KC, TX BBQ versions, etc. stick to being good at 1 version bc u can't be good at everything.
womanatOctober 2, 2010
Baby back ribs are great! One rack is enough for two people. Order two sides: french fries and blue cheese with bacon dip sauce and it will be perfect!
Deej StuNovember 22, 2011
Come for the pulled pork platter, stay for the ambiance and great service! I'll hit this place up every time I'm in NYC.
Mar SalApril 22, 2013
Pulled pork is great and the golden beets are delicious. Trendy BBQ place.
A MargsOctober 28, 2012
Ask for the toffee sauce with fry bread! Also the pulled pork platter will feed a family of four!
Alex PyatetskyOctober 2, 2017
Reputation was that this was going to be king of NY BBQs. Not even close. Flavors are good, but brisket was dried out. Only sauce is sweet/molassessy. It's an alright place but nowhere near the top.
drew tarvinMay 25, 2015
Delicious barbecue food upstairs, live jazz downstairs.
DaveJuly 26, 2013
You don't want the pulled pork. You want the brisket. Trust me. This is good brisket.
Pilar PedrinelliMarch 29, 2013
My first night ever in NYC i was carried here and i discovered how an hamburger should taste like. Smoked, well-done. Whatever, take it.
Hospitality85October 31, 2015
Drinks were a bit slow, but the food and atmospfere are Great!! Recomended..

Get the sides. ANY of the sides. You won't be disappointed.
Benni PrinzMarch 27, 2016
Rib sampler platter is excellent ... A lot of food though

Danny Meyer’s very tasty brisket sandwich, mounded neatly with pickles and slaw on a brioche bun, is one of our 101 Best Sandwiches in NY. Read more

One of the best places for southern BBQ! I should know, I'm a southern boy, us southern boy know our BBQ.
Sebastien YaherMay 25, 2015
Ribs are great and the place has nice atmosphere.
Ginny ClausenMarch 11, 2012
Got a combo plate that happened to include smoked chicken, which I never would have ordered on its own. It was unbelievably good!

The deviled eggs and the ribs are amazing.
Susan PernaApril 11, 2015
Saw this on the food network and had to go and I'm glad I did. My son loves it
Pablo Arredondo AlemanOctober 30, 2016
Baby back ribs and Mac and cheese! Best ribs in NYC!
Christophe FourleignieSeptember 20, 2012
A place where you can listen to jazz classics while enjoying a BBQ menu
Mike McMeekinOctober 14, 2013
Slather everything the Kansas City BBQ sauce, and eat at least a dozen hush puppies
tiffany oSeptember 9, 2012
Macaroni and cheese is to die for..so creamy and cheesy
Lee HoffmanJanuary 27, 2013
The highlights are the apps and sides - the fried bread, biscuits = delicious
Ana Laura MelloOctober 18, 2014
Eat The best Mac'n'Cheese and enjoy The best Music Selection.
Bob WilsonJuly 17, 2018

Baby backs are really good here, and not sure expensive by NY standards
Joey NJune 21, 2012
The Rhapsody in 'cue has a little bit of everything! Mmm...
Frank  ValletuttiAugust 28, 2010
Warm BBQ Chips + Bacon and Blue Cheese dip...as delicious as it sounds. If you get the Pulled pork be prepared to eat. Huge portions!
Emily HollettMarch 31, 2013
