Dee CAugust 6, 2012Ribs are not fully cooked, brisket is super dry. When we asked what kind of wood they use to smoke the meats, they said"oh, just regular wood". Seriously?!
The pastrami was disappointing and dry. Stick with the burnt ends.
Steven MeyersJuly 26, 2019The ribs were incredibly dry and had no flavor. Probably the worst I’ve had in New York City.
Ryan BlackAugust 7, 2013Not that great. Something I wanted to check off my BBQ list. Probably wouldn't return. Go to Mighty Quinn or Fette Sau
RajMay 25, 2017Ribs were overcooked. Pastrami was too dry. Beer was excellent. Home made beef jerky too

"The chicken is great & the sides always go fast. Call in before going. My mom who doesn't eat meat loves the chicken with their green sauce. The portions are huge & the bang for your buck is amazing."
