The Corcoran GroupJuly 17, 2013New to the BBQ scene, this spot has slowly climbed to the top of our list. We usually devour the brisket, the pulled pork, and the beef ribs. Everything is amazingly juicy and delicious (and messy).
Clara EloyJuly 22, 2022Super nice bbq place. I recommend the rice bowl as you get two sides with the meat. The brisket and the burnt ends are excellent. the brocoli salad and brussels sprouts too, pass the sweet potato
Consistently some of the best BBQ in New York City, along with underrated chicken wings. I love the pickled vegetables they give for free, and the burnt end baked beans are good albeit a bit oversweet
Giannis LybousakhsFebruary 7, 2018The most amazing food in the neighborhood. Extremely friendly environment and customer service. I came from Greece and it’s a 10/10 from me! You don’t have to miss it!
Alex TsuMay 26, 2017Most amazing BBQ I've had in NYC; Burnt ends will be blow you away; Don't forget to add on the cucumber pickles, which are so fresh and crunchy. I'm practically drooling as I write this review.
Best BBQ place in downtown Manhattan - just don't go as they're closing because the pickings are slim and the staff is half checked out. Be prepared to wait in line, but it's worth it!
Casey SchoonoverSeptember 12, 2014Everyone raves about the pulled pork and brisket but if the pork cheeks are on special, get um!! Shit is on point. Edamame salad is killer, as is all of their pickles.
Andrei AntonenkoSeptember 23, 2016We didn't try everything on the menu, but the brisket was fantastic and tender (and not just by NY standards), while the fries loaded with burnt ends were a great side! Bread pudding is a must have!
Get the naked brisket with all of the free sides, and the baked beans stuffed to the brim with burnt ends. Eat happy for cheap: $10 person. Best BBQ in Manhattan.
CassidyMarch 28, 2013Don't know why everyone is freaking out about the brisket because the beef rib is where it's at. In fact, skip everything except the ribs (spare and beef) and finish it off with all things pickled.
Alex PyatetskyJuly 31, 2017I went back here to confirm that it's the best BBQ in ny. Had hometown and hill country in past 2 weeks. Might Quinn is hands down winner. Brontosaurus rib probably best BBQ meat in NYC.- Alex PyatetskyNovember 22, 2014My fav BBQ in NYC. Expensive but worth it. Brisket. Brontosaurus rib. Regular ribs. Whatever you get it'll be delicious, just leave time to wait in line or come for lunch.
G DaniellApril 10, 20161st and only time going here,DEFF coming back, I had the brisket sandwich with pomme fries and a tap beer,hands down the best $10 I've spent on brisket,the fries weren't anything special though
Kenneth KaasteskaftOctober 19, 2015The ribs here are amongst the Best i have ever had. Goes well with the growler, but then again - everything goes well with a growler
Sarah LewitinnJune 30, 2013I've been to bbq joints all over the United States and this one takes the cake by far. The brisket is on the level of a minetta tavern black label burger... Stupidly good. Imho, get the creamy slaw.
Best BBQ in the city. (Sorry, Dinosaur). Brisket, pulled pork, ribs --- it's all good. Baked beans, too. If it's crowded, take it to go so you can just pass out on your couch afterward.
Allie CaldwellOctober 25, 2017Fast casual, tasty BBQ, included sides = pickles, and coleslaw (mayo or vinegar based), other sides include a delicious decadent sweet potato casserole. This place is always a safe bet.
I LOVE this place. Brisket and potatoes !!But they have to learn from chipotle how to handle lines. Two people relaxing while one person cuts and another scoops. This place is going to get popular
Ariana AmesFebruary 28, 2014Awesome place to chill out in the summer. Food is affordable and AMAZING. you get so much and all the sides are to die for as well. I've gone here multiple times and love it every time.
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014Look to the beef rib for a real barbecue oddity: a full foot in length, and accompanied by a bone that can double as a weapon once you've finished the blackened, wiggly hunk of meat. Read more
Lou CarulliDecember 8, 2014GET THE BRONTOSAURUS RIB! Ya its the priciest thing on the menu, but when you taste it you will thank me. Second its the brisket, incredibly good & ribs are great. The sauce is drinkable!!!
Time Out New YorkJune 19, 2013Barbecue is a cornerstone of cheap eatin’, and there’s no better spot for carnivorous feasting on a budget than Hugh Mangum’s packed East Village smokehouse (TONY’s pick for best new 2013 BBQ joint). Read more
Colleen MeganNovember 15, 2014The line is long, the seating is a bit cramped but it's 100% WORTH IT. Enjoyed the brisket and sweet potato casserole, excellent dinner choice. :)
Jerry De SouzaSeptember 17, 2016best the ribs you would ever have, had a facy friend over from singapore, he had the ribs for 3 days and still craved for more
rebecca sloatJuly 27, 2013This place is phenomenal -- and not just by New York City standards. Get the pulled pork with burnt ends or the brisket. The sweet potato casserole with maple sugar & pecans is Thanksgiving in a cup.
You can't go wrong with whatever you choose. As soon as you open the door, you're smacked worth the wonderful smell of authentic wood smoked bbq mmmmm
Andrew CerdaMarch 3, 2013Holy shit, you guys! The pulled pork sando is like meat clouds in between bread clouds. In heaven. Smoked and seasoned by Jesus himself. Try it.
Raphael LangenscheidtAugust 6, 2015Still absolutely killing it. The line is a bit over the top at major food hours, but the brisket and the burnt ends are worth it. The chicken is the best deal overall.
Carl FigueiredoJune 6, 2013The brisket is rather off-the-hook. You should have this....trust me. The single portions are kind of small. Best bet if you are with some friends is to buy by the pound and do some BBQ sharing.
Everything here is amazing! My favorite is the brisket! Super tender and juicy. It's amazing. The beans are amazingly flavorful. The sweet potato casserole is very good if you want sweet!
Chris EvansAugust 10, 2014Everything is delicious, although if your choosing one go for the burnt ends. For a side, both the sweet potato casserole and the baked beans are the bomb dot com.
JeffreyAugust 31, 2014The ordeal is part of the commitment. And all is right with the world when they fork over your pulled-pork sandwich, a stack of sliced brisket, and especially the titanic, much-talked-about beef rib.
Almost definitely the best barbecue in Manhattan. All those Dinosaur BBQ fans are clearly mistaken. Delicious brisket and ribs- but don't add sauce, they're meant to be dry rub.
Brad ParkJanuary 7, 2014Texas meets Carolina meets East Village smoked meats. The pulled pork and brisket are both excellent, but it’s the real show-stopper is the massive beef brontosaurus rib.
Jorge AldayApril 4, 2013Brisket was slightly overlooked but delicious smoky flavor. Great on a bun with the picked onions. No need for sauce. The ribs are extremely well cooked, and the rub is delicious albeit a bit salty.
Alex BravoAugust 14, 2022The rice bowl with pulled pork was a great deal. Will definitely be coming back here. Some of the best food I’ve had in awhile.
Michael SiskJune 15, 2014Get the pulled pork sandwich! It's heaven in your mouth. Giant bottles of barbecue sauce to smother you dish in when you sit down. Make sure to get all the pickled veggies, they're free!
Ben BearnotMarch 29, 2013Walk in the front door and take a big whiff even if you're not planning to stay for dinner. If you are staying: bring friends, and get the brisket, pulled pork, and a rack of ribs.
RCJanuary 22, 2015The ribs were a bit dry, but you just need to drizzle some of their awesome sauce on them. Don't be shy with the pickled items, they complement the brisket perfectly.- Brian HerschaftJanuary 9, 2015Their known for their brisket (which is incredible) but step outside the norm and go for for the pulled pork sandy. It literally melts in yo mouth!
Tim RecchionMarch 6, 2014Still some of the best BBQ I've ever had (and I've lived in Texas and North Carolina)!! Ask for a sample of the different cuts of meat, and then order the brisket!
Veronica H GuzmanMay 27, 2016They have the most delicious brisket and bread pudding!!!! Will go here every day if I could.- Lou CarulliAugust 13, 2014Im a HUGE fan of this place. In fact my office has ordered this twice for lunch and we basically order everything on the menu and everything is great! GET THE BRONTOSAURUS RIB!
Roger RJune 2, 2016Best BBQ in the city!!. Don't miss the Burnt Ends they are butter tender and amazing
