Trevor HillSeptember 7, 2018Now that's what I call beef rib. Seriously as good as I've had anywhere. Sharing recommended
Jarel HillMarch 18, 2018Brisket sandwich was awesome! Korean ribs were insane too. MAC was pretty plain.
Jamie DumbillJuly 27, 2017Great BBQ lived up to the hype be prepared to wait in line for a while! Highly recommend the brisket.
Nash PleasantSeptember 11, 2018The best in New York and almost anywhere in America. Everything on the menu is outstanding. (Try the brisket)
What's Good HereMay 1, 2015Beef Brisket Tacos - Salsa Verde, Pickled Red Onion, Sour Cream, Cilantro. They're good with a little of the house BBQ sauce drizzled on them.
Carlos RussoFebruary 2, 2018The lamb belly banh mi was AMAZING; Brisket was another favorite. You can't go wrong with either.
Yan PJune 20, 2019The beef ribs are amazing. Just keep in mind that they are about $30 each. Well worth it, but know before you go.
Eva DragoMay 24, 2016Best TX BBQ in NYC, according to many. Go on a weeknight when there's live music. Can't miss the brisket, pulled pork, and cornbread.
Scott PetermanDecember 6, 2014This place is amazing. Still will do dinosaur for wings and ribs but hometown kills it KILLS it on brisket. Maybe better than mighty Quinn's.
Quinton MaAugust 13, 2017Stick with the Korean ribs and Vietnamese wings. Mac n cheese is pretty good too. Skip the Pastrami bacon and beans.
Kim BJanuary 26, 2014Great brisket, ribs and sausages! Rustic cafeteria style setting. Also a separate room for bar and live performances. BBQ-tastic!
Tasting TableAugust 5, 2014Half a rack of tender oak-smoked baby-back ribs that have soaked up a hot and sweet jerk marinade ($15). They're finished on charcoal. Read more
Tariq AhmadJuly 15, 2021NYC BBQ is average at best, but Hometown the best spot in the city. Brisket and cornbread are a must.
Kristina PDecember 31, 2019the brisket, pork and beef ribs are all amazing. not a fan of the beans, or mac n cheese
MichaelFebruary 28, 2015Everything is good, but especially the brisket. If you get the pulled pork, get the sour pickles to go with.
Sean SmithMarch 31, 2019Grab a beer before heading to order. Everything on the menu is good, so hard to go wrong.
Alex RavenelMay 24, 2015Brisket was great. Beef rib great as well--one rib will feed one very hungry person or two normal people. Mac and cheese is OK but nothing to write home about.
One of the best BBQ experiences I've ever had and I'm from Kansas City.
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Bring a crew to try it all, but don't miss the awesome baby-back ribs, which are firm and smoky down to the bone. Read more
Jessica WickhamJanuary 26, 2017Incredible! Everything was incredible! Go with a big group, get one of everything and make a huge banquet!
Natalie LeMossJune 11, 2023Prepare for a long wait on weekends but the brisket is the best in NYC, maybe better than many places in the south
- Eddie FitzgibbonJune 13, 2015Pastrami is manna from heaven. DT Gill is a silver fox and a great bartender.
D CMarch 7, 2020the lamb belly runs gamey, but the brisket is right up there with the best in Texas!
Bryan KaplanSeptember 28, 2014Got to have the Ribs, Brisket, and beans that have burnt ends. Mac and cheese is sinful and have a nice kick.
Serious EatsMarch 3, 2014At this massive barbecue destination, beef ribs and brisket are the must-orders.
Drew ChristienFebruary 26, 2016If you're prepared to stand/wait in a long, long line, and pay really high prices for your BBQ, then get ready for the best brisket in NYC.
Jess MatleyAugust 12, 2016Everything is just amazing (!!!) but the lamb holds a special place in my heart <3
toluJanuary 29, 2020Good food, the homemade sausage was amazing. But there's gotta be a better way than having us wait an hour for it
Amazing food, great environment. You guys rock! The Lamb is to absolutely fantastic & the chicken is to die for!!!!
Dorothy LêOctober 2, 2016So good. Brisket was amazing plus the sauces and sides were awesome. Will be back- What's Good HereMay 1, 2015Try the Sriracha Hot Wings with Cilantro Ranch. Don't worry, they are not very spicy.
Ethan IllfelderMay 22, 2018Hour-long waits to order food make this place a difficult option for dinner. Great quality BBQ!
Carey (The ACE) HolnessJuly 2, 2015The beef brisket, pork and beans and potato salad are some of the best I've had.
Marty MonacoApril 25, 2018Wow, everything was delicious but the beef rib was exceedingly tender and melted in my mouth.
Matt NeemsOctober 29, 2016Easily the some of the best BBQ in New York. Jamaican Jerk ribs and lamb belly are musts.
Natalie VOctober 3, 2016Brisket, cornbread, Mac and cheese are killer. Baked beans and pork belly were just okay imho.
Dolores LoudermilkNovember 28, 2016Meat in the pulled pork was high quality. Sauce was not as good as what you would find at any old place in the Carolinas. It was almost greasy or buttery? For $12, a sandwich should come with a side!
Ryan CampbellMarch 27, 2018Beef rib was good, but it's pricey. Mac and cheese and pulled pork were good, but the baked beans were a little weird. They do run out of stuff occasionally. But a good pre or post Ikea option!
