Matt BressSeptember 10, 2012Ask what their "special burger" is if you find yourself here on a Monday night. (off-menu burger that changes weekly; some pretty inspired creations!)
Jennifer MucalskyMarch 11, 2012Duck. Doesn't seem like it belongs on the menu...but oh so special and delicious. Don't think twice about it. Just get it. You be be very happy:0)
Robert RoweJuly 8, 2010...visit this actual wood-burning BBQ joint located in Chelsea, which is known for serving dry rubbed authentic Smokey BBQ. A classic BBQ Ham Sandwich and some Onion Strings tasted well... Read more
transiTALK Transportation Media GroupJanuary 27, 2011This is the BBQ spot to be seen. Try everything on the menu, you will not be disappointed. Make sure to top your meal off with an order of Fried Oreos!
Short End of ribs, Burnt Ends, Beans, Vinegar Cole Slaw, and Fried Oreos are just a few highlights of R.U.B., my favorite barbecue joint in NYC.
The BBQ pastrami is the best thing that will ever go into your mouth. If you're here on a Monday from 6-8 ask for the secret burger menu. BEST BURGER IN NYC! Click the link Read more
Mike HDecember 9, 2010The chili cheese fries are a must, as well as the combo sandwich with brisket and rib meat. You'll be leaving with a stomach ache for sure.
ExperiencesAugust 10, 2012Ribs are excellent, burnt ends are excellent. They do it right. Second fave after Fette Sau.- Burgers are served on Monday nights only starting at 6 pm. Each week there is a different special. Tell 'em Burger Conquest sent you.
Burger BedlamJune 29, 2011Get to Rub on a Monday between 6 & 9pm and grab the Rub Burger or their daily special burger. Always unique and tasty!
Adam KubanJanuary 25, 2010I second the Monday night burger tip and will add that they do TWO Monday night burgers--the house burger AND an homage to a regional specialty burger that changes each Monday
Jacqueline LombardSeptember 6, 2012Skip the pulled pork & brisket--both dry & have no smoked flavor at all. The pastrami has good flavor but is tough and chewy--Katz's or Carnegie do way better. The Ribs & Burnt Ends r where its at!- If its a Monday night ask for the secret RUB burger. Menu highlights: frito pie, smoked turkey and burnt ends. Ask for Andrew, tell em Rev from BurgerConquest.com sent you
John Seaborne Jr.September 21, 2011Good if you're from a state whose BBQ is pork-centric. Bread choices are awkward! Rye? With Pork BBQ? Enough said! They need Poppyseed long bun, none of this East Coast crap bread!
Best pulled pork in NYC! Go north Carolina style and only add the spicy vinegar sauce! Amazing!!
Sean McQuaideAugust 2, 2011Awesome pulled pork! Plus a free beer upon check in. Try the hot sauce, it's not to hot.
Get the burnt ends when they have them. You won't be disappointed.
LocationStarAugust 18, 2011definitely take advantage of the free draft special. nothing like a turbo dog to wash down a pulled pork sandwich.
Aaron WilsonJune 6, 2011The bar's happy hour ends at 6, so don't plan to get happy hour after work... (if you work till 6 or later)
Peter K-HzSeptember 14, 2010Love the burnt ends with a passion! That with a tap beer or dirty martini will do it!
Also the best duck in the city, with a blueberry glaze and smoked, it is the most succulent I ever had.
Don't let your boyfriend forget his card at the previous restaurant the night before. You will somehow need to pay- Get the BBQ Turkey sandwich with onion rings. Definite winner.
Connie KMay 14, 2010Order the pulled pork platter, substitute the bread for a bun. The meat is tender and delicious!
Emily Punkimeowmeow del CastilloJanuary 23, 2011The chicken wings and a side of collard greens are delish!
Char MNovember 26, 2011Had a bbq sand, Rub didnt honor the free draft. They said on entrees only. Boo. Good sand.
Can't ever come here and not order the pulled pork and onion strings
The only place in the city I've been able to find Shiner!
Amelia DensonApril 28, 2010The Fried Oreo's were divine. Really wanted to try the Fried Green Tomatoes, but they ran out.
jamiylahMarch 25, 2010they have some good ass food lolz go and get some ribs and they chicken is also good- come on Monday nights 6-9 for the best burger in the city, and it is not on the menu!!!
