When done right, BBQ is succulent, delicious and full of flavor. We got the meat platter trying a few different types, everything was dry, the sauce was average and the service was seriously lacking. The servers were more interested in their text messaging than their tables.

Let me start by saying that I understand that BBQ restaurants sometimes run out of things, as I know at they can't be quickly or easily prepared. We went at about 8:30 on a Saturday night, waited for about 15 minutes for a table with no problem. When we were seated out waitress quickly came over and told us that they were out of pretty much everything, and that the hostess was supposed to tell us when we came in.They were out of brisket, ham, turkey, chicken, and sausage. They had pulled pork, pastrami and ribs. The waitress was very friendly and super attentive and the pulled pork that we ended up getting was great, however it seemed strange for a restaurant to be out of so many mains! We saw a large table walk out because they also werent informed of all of the shortages and will definitely call ahead next time to see what they actually have that night before we go...

Rub is delicious, especially their pulled pork & pulled chicken sandwiches. Fries are really good as well. We've also always had great, friendly service.

Seriously, with hill country and daisy mae's a few minutes away, there's no reason on earth to endure RUB's slow, rude service,or grizzly, grey meat. How this place stays in business is confounding.not worth the money (or really any money).

Get the Frito's chili pie! It has brisket in it and is served right on the Frito's bag. One of the best appetizers you'll ever have!

My wife and I ate at RUB twice when it first opened, after taking a bbq class in Pennsylvania with Paul Kirk. The first time, we ordered the pastrami, which was literally inedible, while the chicken was incredibly goo. The second time we had the brisket, which was very good and the chicken was again deliciously moist. After a long hiatus, we returned this afternoon and both of us ordered a combination plate of brisket and chicken. We both agreed that the chicken was surprisingly chewy--tasty, but very chewy. The brisket was so dry it was virtually inedible, more like cardboard than brisket. A complete disappointment and certainly not worth a trip from Staten Island. To compare this meal to the brisket and chicken at Hill Country is a joke. Hill Country's brisket, the fatty one, not the lean, kills the brisket at RUB. I doubt we will ever return.

Had a great experience at Rub. The food was really good. I had a three meat combo plate with brisket, bbq chicken and st. Louis style ribs. The brisket was just a bit over cooked, but still tender and delicious. The bbq chicken was super moist with a nice crisp skin and the ribs were very meaty and delicious. But the best part of the experience was the super friendly staff. They really were pleasant and very attentive. Definitely recommend Rub...I will dine there again!
