You will need extra napkins...The menu includes pork shoulder, hot links, brisket, St. Louis-style ribs, and char siu pork, all of which are smoked over red oak and sugar maple in a huge barbecue pit Read more

Had the 1/2 lb pulled pork special w/ 2 sides for $12. The meat was tasty and served w/o sauce so you can add on your own. Mac & cheese is pretty good and collard greens were ok. Super nice staff!

They might not have all the food that you want, but what they do have have here is definitely delicious. So, if you live in Brooklyn or just visiting I recommend you try this place!

While the J&R smoker was trucked in from Texas, the duo have kept their low-key chophouse Brooklynized with their protein locally sourced and the pits fueled with upstate sugar maple and red oak. Read more

Try the slow-smoked St. Louis ribs, pulled pork, or Texas-style beef hot links---everything is made in small batches, which means that meats run out on a daily basis, so have a backup in mind. Read more

Matt is brilliant. Best BBQ this side of New York Harbor. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant. The staff is polite and helpful and their happiness makes you hungry!

Amazing eats! Burnt ends, ribs, beans. Sauce is a little bit sweet with a fabulous kick in the pants follow through. Sausage has a fabulously smokey taste and slightly crispy skin.

Burnt Ends were like butter, if delicious meat was butter. BBQ sauce is a great blend of tang and spice. Didn't love the Mac n cheese (needs a kick) but it cut through the heat of the sauce well.

Warm, welcoming, and always friendly staff. My fave BBQ in NYC. Char Siu is to die for, plus a rotating menu of yummy deliciousness. Highly recommended!

Great mix of traditional and eclectic BBQ. The ribs are a must, as is the pulled pork. Get the pork char siu an anything made of cheeks if they've got 'em.
New York PostMay 24, 2013
The ribs ($12 for a quarter rack) are expertly made, as is the char siu, but our favorite is the barbecued lamb ($7 per quarterpound), a rotating special inspired by Kentucky’s smoked mutton. Read more

The traditional stuff is all amazing, as well as the sauces, potato salad and chili. Skip the lamb ribs unless you're really a lamb person.

New York Magazine Cheap Eats issue recommends the char siu pork ($7 for a quarter-pound), "marinated and glazed in a hoisin sauce blended with ginger, honey, and five-spice powder."

Brisket was really good, perfectly cooked, very juicy, nicely smoked. But didn’t really like the bread selection for the cheesesteak.
Jen ShinMarch 2, 2015

Gets better every time I come here! Chopped pork and char siu are favs. Burnt ends are amazing as well.
Jesse BagelsMarch 14, 2015
Great little spot making quality BBQ. Highlights were the burnt ends, ribs, chicken, and beans.
VladieNovember 2, 2016
any meat choice is fine and tasty. service is very good as well.
Kimberely ChengDecember 23, 2012
Briskest with burnt ends so good and service was fantastic. Will definitely come back. Get the coleslaw.
Ed KimJuly 17, 2015
Low-key neighborhood BBQ joint. My go-to place when I need a quick BBQ fix.
Andrew TongJune 15, 2013
Special pork head available with 24 hour notice to the chef. Pretty epic and unusual, totally worth it.

Legit! Try the char siu pork if in the mood for something less traditional. Very very good.
Mike CilientoJune 28, 2013
Lunch deal is awesome: $10 for sandwich or 2 tacos plus drink & chips ($12 to upgrade to a beer)
Saif DiaJuly 21, 2013
The BBQ sauce is good. Which is great because in order to eat my meat, I needed to smother it with sauce.
Alton RobersonJanuary 15, 2013
Got ribs and brisket and three sides. Ribs were so so and unevenly cooked. Brisket was the best we had that night but needed the sauce. Prices are crazy high.
Meghan PaulMarch 31, 2013
Must gets: Ribs. Burnt ends. Brisket chili mac & cheese. I mean... Wow. Just wow.
gypsy lucasJanuary 19, 2013
Get the Brooklyn White sauce. Its good! Coriander pork with cilantro sauce is my favorite.
Angela HadlJanuary 30, 2013
Burnt ends. Buffalo Sauce. Chicken. The best I've had so far above the Mason Dixon line.
Curtis LantonJuly 16, 2013
Take your time with the menu- everything is ala carte & a bit confusing. Also a bit pricy for what you actually get.
Dan MillerJuly 22, 2016
Mac and cheese is the best side. Brisket is a little dry.
Shawn ChengDecember 23, 2012
Great service!!! Handles large groups easily and the staff actually wants you there vs. Fette Sau, etc.
Drew SicklerJanuary 7, 2016
Try the Brisket Chili, you will not be disappointed!
Daniel L.July 5, 2013
Char Siu Pork. Char Siu Pork. Char Siu Pork. Char Siu Pork.
Andrew TrippOctober 26, 2017
Maybe a bad night but what I had was deeply meh. Brisket and ribs had almost no flavor at all, like they had painted on the rub. Pulled pork was better, but still not great.
matt buchananJune 22, 2013
I normally don't leave tips but oh my god run away, so far away, don't stop running you can't get far enough away

Amazing brisket sandwich. Great music as well.

This place is surprisingly family friendly. Read strollers and little kids on a Saturday evening.

The ribs are moist and melt off the bone. They definitely need to adjust pricing

Burnt ends are awesome and the fridge pickles are fantastic.
Isa AlcantaraDecember 14, 2013
Great food. Great staff. Six Point Sweet Action on tap.
Anis HNovember 3, 2012
The pulled pork was good. Still can't wrap my head around why a tiny side of coleslaw/pickles/etc costs $5 when pork costs $4.75/.25 pound. Changes need to be made here
Nate ParrottAugust 9, 2014
The chili Mac and cheese is disgusting in a very positive way. Take that, sentiment analysis algorithms!
Frank DavisMay 6, 2013
Get the taco lunch special &,go with 2 tri-tip. Better than the chicken.
Noelle Via BordaMay 11, 2013
Way better and more low key than Fort Reno AND great veggie chili.
Nikki PalumboJuly 23, 2013
What to get: char siu pork, $7 per quarter-pound.

Amazing brisket
Danny ZlobinskyNovember 10, 2012
Fairly solid food -- ribs were dry though. That said, pretty overpriced. A small meal for two at a BBQ joint shouldn't cost $50.
Lenny GalloMay 26, 2014
Bent ends are good, but you can get the same or higher quality at other BBQ joints. Save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else. A little pricy for what you get.
