This place is the best in NYC. And there's not close competition. Been to Hill Country, West Village Dallas (not the chain one) and others and they don't compare in options or service.

You 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.

Food is great, bar is great, but unfortunately the karaoke blasting over everything else made the night less enjoyable.

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
Hunter ThomasJune 14, 2015
Great 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.

BBQ turkey burger with Swiss cheese. So juicy and good.
Kay BrockFebruary 22, 2017
Beef Brisket, Collard Greens and the Cornbread are my faves

Brisket and pulled pork were wonderful. WILL BE BACK.

The tall tables in the bar area are open seating and can cut a lot if time off your waiting list. Full menu.

It's definitely worth the walk off the subway train to get this delicious chicken and mac and cheese.

You have to try their Creole Deviled Eggs. Hands down the best deviled eggs I've ever had
Kisha LopezSeptember 10, 2011
If 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
Anthony ChoulouteNovember 30, 2016
The Sweetheart Deal for 2 is the best option if you're here with someone else.
Amanda Kowal KenyonJune 28, 2015
Fried green tomatoes with the best ranch dressing our planet has to offer.
Mariana SampaioMay 24, 2016
One of the best ribs I had in Manhattan 😋
Jencey ProvoostJanuary 6, 2015
Get the ribs for two with mashed potato and mac&cheese - you'll thank me
Nadine MichelApril 11, 2013
Such tasty wings - love the fried green tomatos and they make great drinks
CandiceSeptember 3, 2013
The wait was so worth it! The sweet tea is a must as is the beans.

The ribs aren't worth the long wait anymore. Considering its location... You can easily just go to Brother Jimmy's BBQ and wander the village after.
Ivan NightingaleSeptember 24, 2014
I'm just itching to check this joint out, but it'll probably have to be a take out order, because I don't have the patience to wait on a line for longer than 20-30 minutes to eat. Unh unh.
Parker ChambersDecember 10, 2015
Wango tango wings to die for!
Anders RamsayMarch 17, 2012
Try the Combo #3 Sirloin Steak, Baby Back Ribs, & 1/4 Rotisserie Chicken - INSANE!

Karaoke Night on Tuesday...so much fun !! Food is amazing too!
Miisha ClarkJune 27, 2012
Every time I think about this place I want to cry happy tears...I've only been once so far but I wholeheartedly recommend the mac and cheese, if nothing else
Bullfrog & BaumAugust 27, 2012
Aside from the delish BBQ, you MUST try the fried green tomatoes here—you’ll thank us later.
Alice NgJanuary 21, 2016
The meat and sides special for 4-6 people can easily feed 8 adults.

Great beer selection! Love the angry orchard cider and Ithaca apricot brewskis.

Sam Hazen, chef of The Chester, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Jumbo BBQ chicken wings. Read more

If the wait is long the standing tables at the bar are first come first serve.
David MatheyFebruary 26, 2019
St Louis Ribs, Pulled Pork, Brisket, smoked sausage

If this is the best BBQ in the city, it leaves a lot to be desired...

Great BBQ. Big menu with lots of goodies.
Rem KoningNovember 23, 2015
Everything but accidentally putting too much haberno hot sauce on your ribs...

ribs + habanero bbq sauce all the way. devilled eggs are a good start. skip the beans and salty collards. mac n cheese is uninspiring.
Michael BirchMarch 19, 2013
Excellent BBQ. The draft beers leave something to be desired, somewhat flavorless. Bartender seemed to have very little knowledge of the beers she was serving.
