Luis Sebastián MartínezMarch 26, 2015Great brisket and pulled pork. Best baked beans in town. Ribs were slightly dry, though.
Eva DragoAugust 26, 2016Best BBQ in Williamsburg! Sit outside, don't miss the pulled pork and brisket. Amazing fresh, homemade pickles. Fun brunch option, good way to avoid the crowds.👌🏻
Avi Ben-ZviMarch 30, 2017Best bet is to go to hometown Bbq in red hook. Very pricey for terribly simple food.
Kat EganSeptember 18, 2010I'm addicted to the brisket. Great beers and bourbons. Love the pickles. The red bbq sauce in the big container is my favorite. Could eat it by itself.
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
Best BBQ in the city imo. Pork belly is a must if they are serving it.
Ask for rolls so you can make sliders wth the brisket and pulled pork.
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
Karina EncisoAugust 18, 2013The perfect BBQ sauce is 1/3 spicy +2/3 sweet! Deep your ribs and sausages and enjoy!!!!
Jico BaligodJuly 26, 2013Bring extra napkins. Not for the mess, but for the tears of absolute pure bliss you experience while eating meat heaven.
Lamb ChiroApril 14, 2013Get a little of everything. Skip the sausage. Flights of whiskeys and beers in mason jars rule.
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.
Manish MelwaniJuly 4, 2010get a couple of friends, a half gallon of Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold, a half gallon of Arcadia Whitsun, a pound each of pork belly, pulled pork, ribs and sausages. now ur ready to fuckin party.
Chuck PetersDecember 27, 2011This place is AMAZING...every time I'm in NY..I have to stop by. My fav. meat is the brisket...gotta try it.
- david ' dj shakez ' thaiMay 23, 2014I'd come here for the amazing Bourbon selection if bbq isn't your thing!
Patrick McJuryJune 23, 2010Go to Fette Sau and eat your hearts content of great bbq, craft beers, and craft soda. Try the smoked pork belly. You shouldn't be eating it, but it's so good. Read more
The Food SlutsAugust 1, 2012Amazing meat in a totally rustic setting. Depending on when you go, expect to wait. Read more
AllisonApril 25, 2013The ribs have a beautifully sweet char to them. I'm from texas and I approve this bbq!
laura laneJuly 11, 2011Bring a friend that can hold down a table while you order the grub. Hipsters are quick. And the Pilsner is great. Old Yankee is too.
Some of the best bbq in the city, don't order more than you can fit in your stomach. Find a seat, then go up to get beer.
GoerlitzApril 28, 2010Not the most visible or flashy location - and that's perfect for this concept. Fette Sau is definitely worth going out of your way to visit, if you like high quality pork and beer!
Sam GilApril 27, 2017Overrated. Hometown much better. Had brisket, pork belly, ribs, and chicken. Was 6pm on a Wednesday and lukewarm so maybe different fresh.
Mike WinstonJune 24, 2014As incredibly good as the real deal BBQ spots in Texas and I don't take that statement lightly. Don't miss the Beef Brisket, Sausage, and Beef Short Ribs. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
Sally YoonJune 1, 2012brisket, St. Louis Style Pork Ribs, Hand Pulled Berkshire Shoulder, drink Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold...by the 1/2 gallon
Try the Assorted Meats and Sides - The best BBQ that I had tried so far. Very tender and juicy.
MazilNovember 8, 2014Tip for the BBQ newbies like me: a quarter pound is a good single serving size.
- Try the Pickel And Broccoli Salad - The broccoli salad was delicious :) it was lightly boiled with spicies
Fadia KaderMay 13, 2012Long lines but worth the wait! Make sure one of you grabs a seat - communal style!
DevApril 21, 2013Try come on weekends. That's when they have non menu items. Like Rib Eye and Wagu Beef
Paul AtkinsonMarch 16, 2013The later you wait in the day to go the longer the line, but the wait is worth it!
Buford BarnesMay 21, 2012Some of the best barbeque in the city. It can be a little expensive, but worth it.
Design*SpongeMarch 27, 2011Check out the beer tabs at the bar! Better yet, order a whiskey flight! There's even a flight for raw dog - aka raw whiskey!
