Tabitha JohnsonAugust 14, 2016Good meats, if you make a reservation, everyone needs to be there to sit down.
Sunay T.July 28, 2013You will not be seated unless everyone in your party is in the building. Half of my party was crossing the street to come to the building and the hostess gave my table away. You've been warned.
Yelimar RodriguezJune 6, 2016The Jerk Salmon, Mac n' Cheese, and were delish. The peanut butter pie was to die for.
Love this place. My favorite wings anywhere. Great vibes, beer list and spirits list
Zackery WallsJanuary 17, 2016There always running out of something besides that it's a great place food and drinks are really good!
SeemaAugust 23, 2012Get the Texas brisket... Being a Texan I give it a stamp of approval... Might be the best brisket I've ever had... Hands down.
Kimmie OhhDecember 30, 2019Get the churrasco chicken steak & the tres hombres (BBQ pork, brisket & ribs)
Don't come hungry: Between the wait for a table and the wait for your food, its an hour wait. If you're not drinking it feels even longer. Oh the food is good, you just need people who talk with you.
Raquelle JessieMay 20, 2015terriyaki hoisin wings, harlem potato salad, mac'ncheesem, brisket, ribs, cornbread just yanno, EVERYTHING
Jim RayJuly 22, 2019Food is pretty on point for a generic (meaning non-region specific) ‘cue joint. Sides are solid. Decor and setting are weird. Plastic cups? After 15 years, needs a fresh perspective maybe.
Don't miss the salt potatoes. Pro tip: cut them in half and let them soak for a few. Enjoy!
Glorious food and great service, late lunch served quick. Delicious chicken and ribs; and excellent sides.
Chris WaslinNovember 22, 2014Ribs and so many options! Go with sampler. And make reservations days in advance!
Stephanie MorenoJanuary 21, 2012BBQ chicken is ready with your hands good. Love coleslaw...it is both mayo & vinegar based. Brisket a bit dry and I hate that it came pre sauced.
JenKuduSeptember 25, 2013After eating at the one in Syracuse, this location could use a little love. The portions to price here are a bit shocking too.

New York PostMay 24, 2013Try Syracuse-style salt potatoes (boiled with lots of salt and served with butter), as well as popular wings ($3.95 for three, up to $13.95 for 13) barbecued to spicy perfection. Read more- Chad HornerOctober 7, 2014Ribs and wings are great, as you'd expect. If you want an alternative, go for the catfish
Charles GuerreroNovember 6, 2014Ribs are really good, and some great sides, including mac and cheese and salt potatoes.
Lizzy SaxeSeptember 24, 2015Brilliant ribs, deviled eggs, and fried green tomatoes, but most everything else isn't worth the trip.
Nina OttavianoApril 3, 2015So much delicious food. One full rack with 4 sides between the 2 of us and we couldn't even finish.
Tim UngerJune 16, 2013The tall tables in the bar area are open seating and can cut a lot if time off your waiting list. Full menu.
Nicolette RomeroJuly 26, 2015Roll me out of this place! The brisket nachos, ribs, mac and cheese and cornbread make it hard to put down the fork! 🐷🍴
Kaitlin NicoliniApril 4, 2015Wings are awesome! Wait can be long but worth it because the food comes quickly
MyerSeptember 11, 2015Some good BBQ ribs. Don't get too adventurous on the menu because it's not all good, particularly the sides.
Leandro LageraJune 4, 2016Used to be my favorite all time BBQ joint. Great place with a group of people.
Jessica WNovember 17, 2013One of the best bbqs in the city. Best sides are Mac n cheese and salt potatoes.
In addition to some of the best Texas style BBQ outside of the Lone Star State, this place offers the best deviled eggs in the Five Burroughs
Payman BahmaniAugust 18, 2010Possibly best chicken wings in the city. Order them with the Devil's Duel sauce if you got the balls. If wait time's too long spot an outside table, which is usually shorter wait.
Kisha LopezSeptember 10, 2011If you're with friends order the family meal, its more than enough for four. The mac n cheese should definitely be one of your sides
Canineya Means-CastorOctober 12, 2013So love,love, love this place. I always get the sweetheart deal and always leave satisfied.- SuYeone JeonMarch 13, 2015Fried tomato, devil wing, salted potato highly recommended! But the service is bleh
Mounir KaradjaNovember 20, 2013The ribs are sweet, juicy and perfectly tender. 9 should be enough for fill any tummy to the brim.
Kaitlyn PezikMay 10, 2015the hype is worth it, this is my happy place. the salt potatoes are bomb dot com
Anthony ChoulouteNovember 30, 2016The Sweetheart Deal for 2 is the best option if you're here with someone else.
MatthewMay 23, 2013For some extra kick, try Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA (ABV 9%) with your wings and ribs.
Liakos G.January 25, 2014Delicious food and very good service. Best BBQ place in NY - value for money
Adam ClewleySeptember 17, 2014Food is great, bar is great, but unfortunately the karaoke blasting over everything else made the night less enjoyable.
Hunter ThomasJune 14, 2015Great BBQ food, but not worth a long wait and poor service. Be sure to make a reservation or consider take out. Good "couples" option for sharing sides and ribs.
Matheius FerrerOctober 19, 2013The food fantastic, I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and the adios for a drink
The wings are everything yumm! The full rack for two was perfect👌👌👌
- Jencey ProvoostJanuary 6, 2015Get the ribs for two with mashed potato and mac&cheese - you'll thank me
