Ask what their "special burger" is if you find yourself here on a Monday night. (off-menu burger that changes weekly; some pretty inspired creations!)

This 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!

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

Skip 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!

The most successful and creative ideas were the Szechwan Smoked Duck, a lacquered duck that was particularly good as a left-over the next day, and a bacon sandwich with fried green tomatoes. Read more

Burgers are served on Monday nights only starting at 6 pm. Each week there is a different special. Tell 'em Burger Conquest sent you.

...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

Get to Rub on a Monday between 6 & 9pm and grab the Rub Burger or their daily special burger. Always unique and tasty!

I 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

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 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.

Ribs are excellent, burnt ends are excellent. They do it right. Second fave after Fette Sau.
John Seaborne Jr.September 21, 2011
Good 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!

Duck. 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)

Awesome pulled pork! Plus a free beer upon check in. Try the hot sauce, it's not to hot.

Best pulled pork in NYC! Go north Carolina style and only add the spicy vinegar sauce! Amazing!!

definitely take advantage of the free draft special. nothing like a turbo dog to wash down a pulled pork sandwich.

The bar's happy hour ends at 6, so don't plan to get happy hour after work... (if you work till 6 or later)
Spencer FryJune 22, 2012
I recommend the pulled pork sandwich with a sloppy top.

Also the best duck in the city, with a blueberry glaze and smoked, it is the most succulent I ever had.

Get the BBQ Turkey sandwich with onion rings. Definite winner.
Connie KMay 14, 2010
Order the pulled pork platter, substitute the bread for a bun. The meat is tender and delicious!
Char MNovember 26, 2011
Had a bbq sand, Rub didnt honor the free draft. They said on entrees only. Boo. Good sand.

The chicken wings and a side of collard greens are delish!

Don't let your boyfriend forget his card at the previous restaurant the night before. You will somehow need to pay
Peter K-HzSeptember 14, 2010
Love the burnt ends with a passion! That with a tap beer or dirty martini will do it!
Rodney SingletonNovember 20, 2011

Burnt ends will change your life. Get there early!
Ben LugavereFebruary 3, 2012
Chili Cheese fries are incredible.
John Seaborne Jr.September 21, 2011
Oh, and they don't add sauce to the bread prior, which makes it taste dry.
Richard J NardoMarch 20, 2012

burnt ends and rib tips run out fast...get there early.
WillMcDFebruary 9, 2010
people say get the burnt ends. I, however, get there too late and they are all out.
Johnny RentasSeptember 17, 2011
This is the most unorganized place ive ever been to. The wait staff completely ignore you until you get up to leave then they chase you out and offer nothing but excuses. Stay away!
