Dinosaur Bar-b-que

My husband and I decided to try Dinosaur BBQ for dinner/date night and we don’t eat pork so our options are limited but we ended getting the brisket, chicken and Korean style bbq short ribs. The brisket was very tender, juicy and delicious. The Korean short ribs were a little on the sweet side but still pretty good. I couldn’t even eat the chick because I was already stuffed but I did take it home and had it the next day. It was good despite being leftover. My favorite were the greens with corn bread! The greens had a kick of spiciness and were delicious. They have a few bbq sauces and my favorite was the bbq habanero sauce. I wasn’t impressed with the Cajun corn. We also order fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and they were very good- probably the best I’ve had. It came with a dipping sauce which added even more flavor. We also order 2 drinks and our total came out to $123 including tip. There were plenty of options for seating although we made a reservation online, You can also walk in. They have a little space for event seating as well. My only drawback was the food took a while to serve but it’s not a big deal. Overall even though I’m not a big meat eater I would go back.

Almost forgot to write this review but they deserve it. Went in on I think it was a Tuesday or Wednesday and was greeted almost immediately and sat down. Our waitress Kristina(Christina) was absolutely amazing, and took care of us with so much professionalism, patience, and grace (it was our first time going) the environment is great, had a bar area which was great because we came during happy hour. Food portions were nicely sized and the food itself was amazing (I loved the Mac n cheese and the greens). Overall a great first impression and my leftovers won mom over, so I will be returning! Thank you for the warm welcome !

This is a great spot to go with friends for some sports, great BBQ and Convo. The wait staff is really cool, not in your face; but not so far you've gotta wait long for their attention. Great variety on the menu. The meat is SO tender. It could use some garlic and it's a little tangy for my taste; however, it's really good. It's not cooked over wood or charcoal from what I tasted. It seems like it was cooked more in an electric smoker or convection oven off some sort. Still, it's worth the visit. Best place, great vibes, cool staff.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is an absolute must-visit if you find yourself in Rochester! I stumbled upon this gem during my visit and was blown away by the fantastic food. I opted for the combo platter, and let me tell you, it was a feast for the senses and plenty of food even for two light eaters. The platter included a mouthwatering assortment of BBQ chicken, ribs, and two sides that left me more than satisfied. Each item was cooked to perfection, with flavors that tantalized my taste buds and left a lasting impression. The ambiance and service added to the overall fantastic experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is a culinary gem that promises a hearty, delicious meal. Don't miss out on the chance to indulge in their fantastic BBQ offerings!

The cornbread was the star of the platter we got . The chicken, ribs and brisket were tender and the sauce was tasty. The fried rice was good. A good portion of the French fries were just fried hard skins. The Mac and cheese was a bit dry. The service was ok, but the server forgot and never brought some of the items we ordered... perhaps tired and overworked.

This place just knows how to get it done. Quality at every step. You close your eyes, take a bite out of each item on your platter and it just takes you to a magical place. The brisket was golden, the wings were soft and juice, the cornbread was full of flavour and the pulled pork was by far the best I’ve had. Everything comes with their sauce and it’s a great addition. Highly recommended!
