The Corcoran GroupNovember 17, 2011Its well worth the trek to dine on the best dry rub ribs in the city! Dine in or take it to go. Get the Dry Rub Pork Ribs with a side sweet potato mash, baked beans and bourbon peaches.
You don't need to eat dinner after you've enjoyed lunch here. Order the dry rub ribs & brisket. Daisy May's is the best BBQ in NYC and rivals the BBQ in much of the US, including Kansas City.
Dave kOctober 11, 2013This place is the real deal. Worth coming out to 11th ave for. The pulled pork was the standout best thing on our table, but their pork ribs were solid, too. I licked the dish the collards came in
Tony RahsaanAugust 10, 2013The Oklahoma Jumbo Beef Ribs are simply the best. One rib can feed 2-3 ppl easy. (Think Flintstones) They are soo tender u can cut them with a plastic knife like they where made of soft butter.
Erik CintronApril 2, 2013Yummy is the word for this place I had a pulled chicken that I couldn't stop eating,the sides were the usual at any BBQ spot. There ice tea in this huge jug is awesome. I think location sucks though.
Sean LudwigJune 1, 2015This is the best BBQ in Midtown West. The dry and sticky ribs, turkey leg, bourbon peaches, and cream corn are highlights. However, avoid the mac n cheese and sweet potatoes.
Tash ConcepcionAugust 17, 2014The ambience isn't anything to talk about but the jumbo beef ribs are. Great BBQ. Best sides: mac & cheese and creamy corn. Daisy May's also delivers anywhere in Manhattan for $10.
Memphis dry rub ribs = amazing. I got some bbq sauce on the side, but I easily didn't need it. Ribs were moist & well seasoned. Rice n' beans w/ collards were good too. Just needed some spice for kick
Edlin ChoiFebruary 24, 2012Pulled pork was great. Big seating area in the back with big tv's and I think an upstairs. Outta the way for most but if you're in the hood, definitely worth a look. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
CompassMay 15, 2014Chow down on Memphis-style ribs and mac and cheese platters at this down-home BBQ joint. Baked beans with burnt ends are the perfect side to any dish.
Intrepid MuseumApril 5, 2012Zagat awarded this corner barbeque joint “Best Barbeque in NYC” 4 years in a row! Never mind its accolades, Daisy May’s is simply great eats. Lucky for you it's only one block away from Intrepid!
BhavnaSeptember 21, 2013Probably some of the best pork ribs (kansas city ribs on the menu) I've ever had! Meat legit just fell off the bone. Cheesy corn was also amazing.
Food NetworkAugust 5, 2011Michael Symon, of The Best Thing I Ever Ate, can't resist the pulled pork and amazing side dishes at Daisy May's BBQ in New York, NY. We recommend the BBQ Beef Ribs. Find more tips at FN Local. Read more
Caitlin ClementsMarch 30, 2014Mac & Cheese leaves a little to be desired, but the brisket is tender and delicious. Counter service, so it's an easy place to go with a group.- Memphis dry rub is amazing .. the 1/2 rack plate special w/ two sides & BBQ sauce on the side .. great dinner w/ nice leftovers
Anahi DApril 20, 2013Daisy May's commits a major BBQ Sin. According to the cook "they cut the fat off before barbecuing the brisket." Anyone that knows BBQ knows you're supposed to cook brisket fat side up. Duh!
Heather ScottApril 19, 2015Just pretend that the spiced peaches count as one healthy serving of fruit. They're like the filling of a good peach pie, but no crust!
New York HabitatNovember 18, 2011Consistent, delicious BBQ here. Dive into a plate of the brisket or a pulled pork sandwich. Don't overlook the delicious side either!
Ale TowerJune 11, 2016Good dry rub ribs and Texas style curry. The sides were somewhat underwhelming, but good spot overall. Counter service so it's also slightly cheaper than your average bbq joint.
Try a little of Everything. Amazing #NYC #BBQ spot. If you really love BBQ you need to eat here - now.
@JaumePrimeroJune 16, 2013This mason jar is filled with liquid gold in the form of sweet tea. So good!
BravoJanuary 27, 2010Southern comfort food at its most decadent! Adam Perry Lang makes what I believe is the best BBQ north of the Mason-Dixon line. I crave his Kansas City ribs, pulled brisket, and corn with Wisconsin ch
Adrian TorresMarch 12, 2012If there are two of you: order the two meat, two side combo to share. More than enough food and if you're really hungry, order another side.
ElizabethAugust 21, 2015Good and easy when visiting the intrepid. Servings are plentiful and delicious.
The Wall Street JournalMay 19, 2010The smokers here run 24 hours a day and hold roughly 1,300 pounds of meat. The resulting menu includes sticky pork ribs, brisket, pulled pork and plenty of fixins. Read more
Luca DLJanuary 15, 2012Try beef and pork ribs with mac&cheese but come in early for dinner: they close at 9pm, only Tue. and Sat. at 10pm
Waddy GonzalezMay 10, 2013Best ribs in town! Not such a fan of the Mac n` cheese (but is not my cup of tea anyways)
Scott GouldJune 29, 2010As BBQ goes, I've had a lot better for a lot cheaper. The beef rib was definitely colossal, but average taste. The sweet tea is awesome and the creamed corn is like none I have ever tried -- and tas
funky flavorOctober 8, 2011Omg not a cheap place to eat even tho it looks cheap. But the tea and the mac and cheese are soo amazing!
Sidi WangApril 27, 2012Sweet sticky pork ribs are great when it's hot served! Sweet tea is a must try! Very Texas :)
Pierrepont FinchMay 12, 2011H2S's Cleve Asbury recommends Daisy May's - I love it because I'm from Houston, Texas and it's the best Barbecue there is.
Rachel W.October 17, 2011Get a bunch of friends together, call in advance, and indulge in the Big Pig Gig. It won't disappoint.
Victor LlamasOctober 9, 2011Best BBQ ribs ever! Dry rub the best. Mac and cheese is amazing. Beans are excellent!!!
Can't decide? Get the combo! 2 meats, 2 sides: $16.99. You can't go wrong!
Drew WNovember 21, 2015Bit expensive for portion size, but the BBQ is good for where it is. $3.50 for a bottle of beer is a good deal though.
Sara 🌈⚔🍾February 2, 2015I ordered lunch and it took them over an hour past the stated deliver to arrive (1 hr 45 min total). I kept calling and being told "10 minutes". Food was stone cold. Might have been good otherwise.
Jose NaninSeptember 2, 2016Good food... the brisket wasn't as juicy as I expected but ribs were good!
JACKFebruary 15, 2012carolina bbq pulled pork sammich + a side of mac n cheese. also, don't pass on the sweet tea!LGR.
James FiltzFebruary 26, 2011Limited seating! Great bbq but don't bring ambivilent freinds...this place is for bbq lovers only!
Carlos BorgesJune 1, 2011Kansas City Sweet and sticky spare ribs, Burnt Ends Beans, and Cheesy Corn. All awesome!
