Coleslaw!
Yes, this is my favorite bbq in town. The best, the best. But! We need to petition them to bring back the cole slaw! It's a beautiful, fruity, flavory work of art... but last time i was in there, they told me it was seasonal. But i want it year-round. As for the meat though, mmmm. Go here for the legendary stuff you hear about on TV and can't find in NY. The brisket is always great, and more people need to order the pork belly. It's wonderful. So go here and enjoy (and tell 'em to bring back the cole slaw!)

Best BBQ in the North
Great BBQ! I highly recommend this place any time it's not incredibly busy.

Best barbeque in the city
Delicious bbq, very reasonable prices, great bar, cool atmosphere for you and your friends. Always busy, always good. Casual-family style tables, meat served to you on metal trays that you carry to whatever seat you can find, but awesome atmosphere.

Worth a trip but needs some work
The space is great, the food is really good and the bourbon and beer selection phenomenal, but we had some issues. First, the line was extremely long. We expected that but once we reached the front, we realized what the problem was. They only have one scale to weigh out customer orders. If they just added one more station, wait time could be cut in half. I guess that may create a seating issue though. Still, it seemed very inefficient. Second, the bartender, although really knowledgable and outwardly customer-service oriented enough, was so negatively passive aggressive towards the patrons, I was amazed. He stated outright to one that next time, they should leave a tip which would be good for everyone, told someone else he didn't have time to recommend a cocktail, refused to pour beer from a very large jug into a glass for another because "if he did it for one customer, he'd have to do it for everyone." He also refused to continue serving another customer, who was foreign, because he hadn't left a tip. I understand that tipping is the right thing to do and that it must be frustrating for bartenders when people don't tip, but honestly, maybe if he had been a little nicer, it wouldn'thave been an issue.

Great Beans, Tough Ribs
Went tonight for the first time with my friends who are regulars. Baked beans were killer. Ribs were tough, chewy, and fatty. ...Where was the meat? Sausage was flavorful, but on the dry side. Everyone in my party agreed that the ribs were not great, but kept saying how it was and "off" night and that the food is generally much better. Sauces were alright. Mustard sauce was not a traditional mustard style sauce. The hot & peppery sauce was lacking a good depth. The regular sweet sauce was good. Overall, I would have to give the edge to Dinosaur BBQ when it comes to sauces. Loved the atmosphere. Great music playing. "Sometimes great music just makes the food taste better."

Cafeteria Service with steak house prices.
Smoked meat. what could be better. Well, how about good smoked meat. Ribs were cold and dry. Brisket was 50% fat and cold, and sliced so thick by hand that i needed a butchers knife to cut thru it. I threw half away because it was total fat, not marbling , but just hunks of fat. The sausage link was ok, just ok. The pork belly was good but again, sliced so thick you couldn't cut it. forks bent from tearing at the meat. The side dishes were ok, cold broccoli and fairly good baked beans. A friend in Williamsburg swears by this place, i guess he has never eaten at Dinosaur BBQ. I have to give props to the Bartender, he was the highlight of the night, and the bourbon/whiskey selection was awesome. To drink i would return, but i would eat BBQ elsewhere.
