Ernesto BernalMay 17, 2014I get that you should save seats for your group, but you're not getting your food for another hour! Everything else is incredible.
Sarah NelsonMarch 2, 2012Favorite BBQ- communal tables, large shared portions of BBQ, and lots of mason jug beer and whiskey. great outdoor seating for good weather. unique spot.
Nina YiamsamathaJuly 24, 2011Get a gallon of good beer (the tap handles are meat cleavers!) and share with your table while feasting on pork.
Mike HJuly 28, 2011Really good. The pulled pork was awesome, not doused in sauce. Pork ribs were super juicy, beef ribs were kinda dry. Try the potato salad, its not the normal mayo-soaked kind. Pass on the sweet tea.
FranciscoMay 13, 2013Unfortunately, I have lived in North Carolina and this is just mediocre Pulled Pork BBQ. Also their sauces need name tags. I guess this is the best you can get in NYC, but I would't do the line again
Rich GallagherSeptember 6, 2011Grab a gallon of beer as you gear up in line for some of the best BBQ in the city. The brisket holds up to some of the best you'd find on the Gut Trail.
Georgia LuddeckeOctober 9, 2016The ribs and pork belly are out of this world. German potato salad is very crisp and refreshing.
Andy WilkeJanuary 18, 2015Great Spare Ribs! Sometimes it's way too crowded. So be patient to get seated.
Between 7:30 and 8:00 pm on summer Fridays is when the line gets long. Watched the suckers from the comfort of my outdoor table w/ my beer...
Tim McClureJune 28, 2015Native Texan - and these are some of the best pork ribs I have ever tasted. Skip the sausage - it's nothing to write home about. Overpriced BBQ, but it's New York City so...
The Family RecordsJune 28, 2011Great BBQ with very laid-back summer atmosphere in the Burg. Beer comes in mason jars (or mini mason jars for half pints). Right across from the Knitting Factory.
Tony XerriMay 12, 2014Food was great but I wish the guy behind the counter wasn't such a jackwad. Either he woke up on the wrong side of the bed or he just loves displaying his hipster-pretentiousness towards patrons...- Guest of a GuestOctober 11, 2011Fette Sau is a meatlover's dream. It has all the finest types of BBQ-style cooked meat that you can possibly imagine. And really, really good whiskey. Read more
Duygu OzturkogluNovember 12, 2013Get there a little earlier or else you won't have a place to sit. Liquid gold is the best beer they have
Todd MohneyAugust 1, 2014The pulled pork, brisket, and baked beans are what's going on here. Definitely worth the wait.
Avi Ben-ZviMarch 30, 2017Best bet is to go to hometown Bbq in red hook. Very pricey for terribly simple food.
CompassJuly 24, 2013Slices of brisket, legs of lamb, pigs’ tails, and ribs make up the vast and meaty menu at this Williamsburg BBQ haven.
Charles MNovember 29, 2017One of the best bbq joints in NYC hands down. Try their pork belly or brisket!
Patrick ConnellMarch 8, 2016The pork belly was the BEST!! The ribs and brisket were also great! Beans were a decent side.
Kay KayOctober 6, 2014Great food. Anot the cheapest one. But the quality of the meat is great. And I love the side choices you have.
Max PerrySeptember 13, 2015Long line at 9pm on Saturday, but the finely burnt brisket and delicious ribs are worth all of it
New York HabitatDecember 6, 2011The best bbq in Brooklyn hands down. Try the brisket and/or pork belly, and don't forget about the baked beans!
One of the best BBQ joints in NYC. Try the pork belly and the beef ribs!
Leah HammerschlagOctober 21, 2015Loved the brisket, better than hometown's. Unique and delicious potato salad too.
Jason HermanDecember 1, 2013Great low key vibe. Go in for the smell alone. Real Texas BBQ. Great beer and whiskey selection!
Luis Sebastián MartínezMarch 26, 2015Great brisket and pulled pork. Best baked beans in town. Ribs were slightly dry, though.
Mark LeeDecember 9, 2010It gets crowded but it's totally worth the wait. Although you may be tempted to eat outside on a cold night, don't as the food will cool off very quickly. BBQ is not meant to be cold.
Karina EncisoAugust 18, 2013The perfect BBQ sauce is 1/3 spicy +2/3 sweet! Deep your ribs and sausages and enjoy!!!!
Marcel BrionesApril 7, 2014A pound per person is the perfect portion. Anything that starts with B is money - Brisket, Belly, and Beans.
Arpit UppalNovember 10, 2018Everything was cold. Ribs and brisket have nice bark and flavor but were cold and dry. The ribs I couldn’t eat, they weren’t tender, felt like I was trying to take a bite out of cartilage.
Amazing BBQ. Good jams. Rad bartenders. Friendly counter and meat cutter. Stop in for some jowl and a quart of sixpoint vienna pale ale *brewed exclusively for Fette sau!
Jico BaligodJuly 26, 2013Bring extra napkins. Not for the mess, but for the tears of absolute pure bliss you experience while eating meat heaven.
Emma StorySeptember 21, 2011Try to go early in the evening, because it can get super crowded here. But it's a great place to eat before a show at Knitting Factory.
Natalie UnterstellApril 20, 2013Brisket is good; pork sjoulder is FANTASTIC! Beers : loved the one specially brewed for Fette Sau - fruity !
My favorite BBQ in Manhattan. Get the pork ribs with a side of beans
Sam ThonisNovember 30, 2014Brisket, sausage, pork ribs are amazing. Everything is amazing. Eat everything.
The Food SlutsAugust 1, 2012Amazing meat in a totally rustic setting. Depending on when you go, expect to wait. Read more
Kimmie NguyenAugust 7, 2014We somehow beat the crowd on a Friday night. 7pm might be the sweet spot for brisket and beer.
Robi KobiJanuary 15, 2013The best place for eating meat! And don't forget to go listening some music to the knitting factory just in front of the fette sau:)
Carolyn TOctober 19, 2011Get a beer in a mason jar from butchery-inspired taps, order the pickles, steal barbecue sauce from someone else's table and get the pork ribs
Jari MäkeläAugust 26, 2015Very good BBQ. Quite close to the quality of The Mighty Quinn's but I still prefer MQ.
VevoJune 1, 2012Fette Sau is German for "Fat Pig". It's bread, it's meat...have a couple drinks and head out. They've got a wall of American whiskeys and bourbons.
Best BBQ in the city imo. Pork belly is a must if they are serving it.
Selom AAugust 27, 2016Of course the brisket! But the burnt end baked beans are the unsung heroes of the menu...
