Dinosaur Bar-b-que

So, not knowing where I’m at. I walked forever down riverside drive. From downtown to get this place I remember before they were shutdown in Chicago. I had to run in run out now trying to catch my flight with less than an hour till departure home. The sister at the check in desk was highly attentive right away. And came across to me as genuine. No conscious bias or subconscious prejudice behaviorism’s toward her customer. Food was ready before I finally made it. Plus the restaurant was busy. All I came to New York for was Gotham barbershop and Dinosaur Barbecue. On your face & knees , DIE HARD TO LIVE FREE. Jeremiah 33:3 Philippians 4:13 John 14:6 Shalom

The vibe is amazing. our server, who was also the bartender was fantastic. Just the right blend of friendly, professional and polite, a blend that is very hard to find. We sat at the bar, he made us feel at hone and when my lady has issues with her drink he took care of it with grace. The food was a long time coming and not as hot as we would like it to be, which means it was sitting there for a while, but the bar tender made up for it. The place is off the hook on Fridays, with long lines, we will definitely come back on a week night to enjoy more of the great service decor and yes, piping hot BBQ goodness!

Pork and brisket plates were extremely tasty, and portions were generous. As far as the sides go, both the mac and cheese and beans were excellent. Very good drinks menu with lots of choices as well. Prices were fair. Great atmosphere, and great service. I won’t say it’s as good as the barbecue joints in the south but it’s pretty darn close and the best you can get in Manhattan for sure. Super happy to have found this place, it’s epic, and I will be going back as often as I can.

My daughter and I took my closest friend here , because he wanted to go here for his birthday. We very much enjoyed ourselves here. I had salmon, which was wonderful, the macaroni & cheese wasn't nice at all. It was prepared with disappointment. Overall we still had a damn good time. And will probably go again , the smoked wings were fabulous.

Have been going to Dinosaur BBQ for years, both in Rochester and Harlem. Each location’s menu is slightly different but very tasty. I recommend the ribs and pulled pork combo with Mac and cheese and garden salad as your sides. Wango Tango is my bbq sauce of choice, it has a little kick to it. Definitely have to order the wings with their homemade blue cheese sauce and their deviled eggs. I never liked deviled eggs before having theirs, something about the creole seasoning hits the spot. I can never choose between white lightning and donkey punch so I always split both, but they are strong pours so be warned!

I enjoyed the vibe an atmosphere of this place so much I’m gonna make this a weekly thing. 🕺🏾 My waitress Johnee was AMAZING!!! She gave honest recommendations and was also super helping with letting us sample sides we wasn’t to sure about ordering. The last time I’ve had Fried Green Tomatoes that good was in Louisiana I highly recommend ordering them. DONT ORDER THE JERK SALMON!!! Everything else is good tho the drinks the baked beans the Mac & Cheese. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu in my future visits.
