The Wango Tango sauce is one of the best BBQ sauces I've had and their mac n' cheese is amazing. I can't say the same about their ribs, which were pretty bland and not so tender.

The fried green tomatoes are everything. This is one of those meat-heavy places that vegetarians love to come to because their sides are amazing.

The ribs are so tender and their wango tango sauce is amazing with it, just the right amount of heat. Get the mac n cheese side too.

Coleman gave us great advice on what sampling platters to order and we ended up tasting every meat they make there! Loved the hot link sausage the best!
Amanda JuncoJune 29, 2013
Try the chopped salad w BBQ blues house dressing. Top w meat of choice. I know it sounds lame but it's DELICIOUS! Also. Don't miss the fried green tomatoes!
JulieJuly 8, 2015
Fried green tomatoes weren't the typical southern cornmeal coating, but good. Sides were actually my favorite. Collards and black eyed peas were great!
Polina WeitzMarch 20, 2018
Solid ribs, wings and pulled pork. Armosphere is very busy, lively and a bit loud.
Steph BaltimoreJune 23, 2013
If you have a group of 4 or more get the family style BBQ platter. It includes everything and the sides are a pint. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Love the fresh cut fries crunchy and tasty, Creamy mac & cheese, Brisket sliders really good a little spicy.

The Brooklyn location of the popular barbecue destination. Ribs and wings are a must.

We shared the sweetheart ribs and four sides between three and it was perfect. The donkey punch is awesome if you're a rum fan.

No more treks to Harlem for the classic Dino experience! Split the rack of ribs and sides with a group and be a happy camper.
David ZhangSeptember 21, 2014
Fantastic sides, get as many as you can and share. The entrees are just solid. Go to Briskettown or Fette sau for better BBQ meats.
Caro LertoraDecember 29, 2017
Very good attention, we arrived pretty late so some options of the menu weren’t available. The food was quite spicy for us but that’s a matter of taste. Prices were good, not cheap neither expensive.

Food is amazing and worth the wait! Try the Mac n cheese, the ribs, and the garlic wings. Great prices too for the area.
Vicky OlivierJuly 4, 2014
The food here is delicious!!! Just to let you know, the wait is never usually an hour. They say an hour, but it's rarely the case. the food is worth the wait. Wouldn't be crowded if it wasn't.

Really good food. The beef and the winks were excellent. Even the cocktails were good. The service was soooo slow though.
Kai BrinkerJanuary 12, 2014
Syracuse-style BBQ is starting to rival St. Louis, Kansas City, and Memphis. Much better than any NYC offering I've experienced so far.
Lisa LMay 21, 2015
Love music, pulled pork, craft beer, southern goodness! I got for takeout as does my friend's cat!
Alexandra CoughlinNovember 24, 2013
Ask for Dominic. Extremely attentive and accommodating; paired with the delicious food makes the Dino BBQ experience incredible.

Vegetarians don't be wary. The fried green tomatoes are amazing. Try the mac and cheese and the veggie sandwich. You won't be sorry.
Hannah LaHoodMay 6, 2015
Their bbq is next level 🐷 I'm from Syracuse though so I can't help but prefer the original location's grittier vibe and charm
Jarel HillJanuary 16, 2018
Mashed potatoes are awesome. Get the brisket melt next time. Looked good. Mac n cheese was also dope.
laura mJuly 6, 2013
Get the 2 person special with a whole rack of ribs and 4 sides to share, cheaper than ordering two separate meals.
Marc SingerFebruary 4, 2018
Ribs and the bbq beans! But everything was very good.
George LuryeNovember 17, 2013
It's all about the wings and the ribs. Everything else is a distraction. A good distraction, but to a BBQ eater they're still a distraction. Sad about the lack of salt potatoes too.
ElisaMay 30, 2023
Get the Honey bbq wings and sausage. Skip the ribs and pork belly which are on the drier side.
Jason BrightJune 29, 2014
Definitely get the 3-meat combo. The ribs. The brisket. The pulled pork. Incredible. The sides. Ridiculously good.
ᴡ RomeroDecember 20, 2014
Their wango tango wings are to die for with their rack of ribs!! Add a Donkey Punch to the meal & you can't go wrong❤️
Alex CancelOctober 26, 2016
Brisket and pork are incredible as is the BBQ fried rice. Absolutely love this place!
John SandallOctober 16, 2013
Check out their craft beer taster "flights". They totally blew away my out-of-date British assumptions that Americans can't make good ale!
Nate FolkertSeptember 25, 2018
kids chicken fingers with french fries, bbq fried rice, and corn bread
Abraham PortnoyMarch 12, 2022
The ribs fall off the bone and the sides are all good, haven’t had a bad one yet
rich masioDecember 14, 2014
Outstanding. Last week our bartender and waiter were great. Prices are reasonable for a big group.
Franncis PAugust 2, 2016
Get the sample dish, has chicken, ribs, vegs, bread. Awesome. Drinks pricey and not that strong.
Rohith RaoJuly 16, 2017
Family special is a great deal for 5-6 people. All of the sides are fire

Don't know what the magic is in the wedge salad, but it's always one of my sides. And start with the deviled eggs.
Bryan IraceOctober 17, 2017
More convenient than the Harlem location and the same great food, love being in the delivery range.
Aaron PangMay 30, 2023
Wings honey bbq!! Catfish and brisket and sausage too! Skip the pork ribs.

All I gotta say is Mmm Mmm Mmm... Yummy Yummy in my tummy! Get the ribs, get the brisket, get the Mac n Cheese.. :)
Molly TJuly 12, 2013
Download their fun line-waiting app, Buzztable (I don't work for them) and don't miss the fried green tomatoes.
IrinaJune 27, 2013
Black eyed peas and kale side has meat in it. Vegs beware! No fret tho, the Mac n cheese and fried green tomatoes are the bees knees
Lisa LJune 4, 2016
Happy hour at the bar until 7pm during the week and until 5pm on the weekends - $4 beers!
Jessica M.January 7, 2018
Decent BBQ, but if you’re in the area, Hometown in Red Hook is the move.

Veg Melt, French Fries, Mac and Cheese, Bourbon Ale or Sweet Tea. Vegetarians unite and delight!
Jonathan HosterMarch 30, 2014
It's as good as the original in Syracuse. Everything is delicious but don't miss the cole slaw.
Chet ManciniOctober 9, 2014
Dinosaur is best known for their pulled pork and slathering sauce. Make sure you use both.
Rem FSeptember 9, 2013
Food & Service was 10/10. Ordered the Sweetheart Deal. Full rack of ribs + 4 homemade sides. Easy on the pocket :)
