The burnt ends, brisket, and pulled pork are awesome
Matt HoltzmanOctober 20, 2013
The St Louis dry rubbed ribs are outstanding, and the service is excellent
Patrick HealyJanuary 10, 2015
Tried the four meat platter. Looks good right? It wasn't. In fact, we left almost all of it behind. Didn't even wrap out to go. Who'd eat it? Bland and dry. Save your money and go elsewhere.
Sarah LambinoAugust 25, 2014
The butcher platter with 3 meats and two sides is enough for two
NicoleJanuary 23, 2012
Everything on the menu is delicious, fresh and prepared with care. The owner is friendly and gracious.

The meat is delicious! Fast service and free dessert 😋

Great food! Get the ribs early because they do run out quickly!
Erik CintronJuly 8, 2012
Having been to a few BBQ this is not the best but queens doesn't haven't anything even close to it so it will do. The portions were not worth the price but service was great. Best thing is Byob!!!

Can't go wrong with the brisket in any of its permutations.
Sophie KimApril 8, 2019
loved the food—esp pork belly! But service was slow
Patrick HealyDecember 28, 2014
Careful about not liking this place. The owners will personally attack you online. Really classy.
Patrick HealyNovember 1, 2014
If you have not ordered yet, get up and walk out now. This place made me want to become a vegetarian. Everything LOOKS good but the meat here is bland and textureless. You'll thank me for this review.

The pulled pork is to fucking DIE for! They even gave me free apple cake
ElizaJune 2, 2013
Definitely get the burnt ends and pork belly!
dennisSeptember 23, 2012
The 50/50 sandwich and mac & cheese are the perfect combo
Brianna SavianoSeptember 24, 2015
My Filipino boyfriend was disappointed in the "longaniza." My pulled Bork was great, though.
Patrick HealyJanuary 10, 2015
The BBQ sauce tastes line it's from a can. Very unauthentic.
Varun JollyApril 4, 2012
First time here.. Finally!! Insane pulled pork! Go 50/50! And the diet mexicane cola!
Johann R.October 4, 2015
the meat sampler is delicious
Aleson HoApril 8, 2015
Bad system for seating dinner rush. They have "reservations" but not really. Still waited an hour. Don't go during the rush. Food's good, small portions, service sometimes slow, not worth wait.
Brett SpiegelMarch 22, 2015
Burnt ends. If you get anything, get that.
Marsena BowersJune 12, 2012
The burnt ends sandwich and Mac and cheese!! Get into it!!
Sean SmithOctober 1, 2014
Burnt ends were great. Some other things were a bit dry. But the sauce is good and solves that.

The food was okay. Not anything spectacular. Had the french toast, but it was dry. Presentation was not the best.
Josh GorfainMarch 8, 2012
The apple cake is, like everything else, perfection.
linpah zelgMay 26, 2014
Burn Ends are the best, Mac and cheese for a great side
Julienne JanineJuly 4, 2013
I'm not a big meat eater so I really liked the BBQ pulled chicken and mac and cheese. Chili nachos are good too. It's a BYOB spot so hit the deli next door for any adult beverages. Try the burnt ends!
Evangelia GiakoumatosJune 16, 2019
Porky Platter
Jessie CatanaJune 18, 2016
Burnt ends are delish but the quality has severely declined since it opened. Food was cold and flavorless today. Huge bummer. Won't be back.
Patrick HealyJanuary 10, 2015
The bar is really nice. The end.
Sydney E-jMarch 13, 2015
Not good for large groups. Great food, small space
Patrick HealyJanuary 10, 2015
Good for vegetarians since the meat is not very good....
