I didn't want to love Daisy May's
When Daisy May's first appeared, they ran an ad on YES -- it still runs occasionally -- that was just terrible, and not so-bad-it's-good terrible. Put me off for a couple of years. A few years ago I just decided I had to go if only to give them their due and rank their barbecue against the rest of Manhattan. I was very,v ery glad I did. The dry rub Memphis ribs are the best in the city. The beef rib, which yes, is very expensive, is more than enough for a meal. Some of the sides are spotty, and the pulled pork is frankly way oversauced. But expensive? Small portions? I really don't understand those charges. While Dallas BBQ and Virgil's have their place in the city, it's more for-the-masses, oversauced, sweet preparations than I'd prefer, and not stylistically anything approaching authentic (with the possible exception of the pork at Virgil's). As far as "authentic" barbecue representing many of the top barbecue areas of the country, Daisy May's is in that top-3 rarefied air for the city. (Incidentally, the white bread thing is a barbecue staple in Texas.)

Can u really trust somebodys opinion when they pick dallas bbq over the best smoked ribs in Nyc...its hard to beat Daisy Maes ribs for flavor, I personally love the KC style ribs,always cooked to perfection and you gotta lick your fingers so dont fight it. This is not the place for decor or convenience but who cares...If you want the only real bbq in NYC this is the spot.

Not recommended
When my co-worker said they went to this resturant, I decided to try it.. Not sure if I will ever speak to my co-worker again. I think they washed the ribs but forgot to season it. The portions are for a kids meal. The resturant is dark. If you just want to put on cowboy boots and go for a beer or drunk, then okay. But Dallas BBQ's is the better choice. My stomach hurts and I wasted 15. 00 in taxi fare to go there. Would NEVER tell anyone I did. Daisy May its OVER!

I tried...
I tried to love this place but the other reviews really said it all: 1. overpriced 2. the food isn't cooked well 3. I live in the neighborhood and called for delivery. They said "why don't you come over and get it yourself?" 4. Min for delivery is $20! Are you kidding me?

A loaf of white bread? Yech.
Skip this overpriced restaurant in its out-of-the-way location. Unless you crave a loaf of commercial sliced white bread, which they put of everyone's table. Why? Who knows, but it's unappetizing.

Very upset Oprah!
I took my mom here for a couple of years ago becasue she saw this place on the Oprah show. I was very unhappy. First off it's so far from the train. Second it looked dirty. It was a bunch of tables all over the place & when people got up they wasn't cleaning the table when they were about to leave. Third, the food was ok. I can make ribs better than this place. Come on now. Please Daisy Mae step up your game because you did not deserve to be on the Oprah show.

Outstanding BBQ
My friends and I had a "pig party" at Daisy May's this week and we had a blast! The food was A M A Z I N G (full smoked pig, collared greens, baked beans with burnt ends, Texas toast). Best BBQ I've ever had!!!
