Top BBQ Restaurants in New York City

Looking for Some High Grade BBQ? I've Got Your "A" List

3. Dinosaur BBQ (www.dinosaurbarbque.com) has several locations in
Manhattan
…and all of them have the same great barbeque cuisine. Dinosaur BBQ (or Dino’s) is an extremely low-key restaurant with high-grade barbeque. Its prices are a little steep, but you won’t find BBQ like this in too many places, so it’s worth the “cost of admission.” They have every thing under the barbeque umbrella. There’s sausage, links, steak, loose meat pork and barbeque spare ribs. The barbeque sauce at Dino’s is unlike any others. There has never been a time where I went to Dino’s and I didn’t need to ask for another bottle of barbeque sauce. Shoot! They ought to market the stuff on its own. I leave Dino’s licking my fingers every time, and I don’t ever envision myself leaving there any other way. They come in platters where you can choose 2, 3 or 4 different meats and of course you are allowed one side of your choice. But if you’re looking for something nice to go with your barbequed meat, than you’re in the wrong place. This is carnivore’s heaven, so leave the desire for the huge heapings of fries at home. But if you want meat, and more of it, then this is your place. To accommodate the ravenous carnivore in all of us, they also have a great sampler platter for a table to enjoy and to use in order to decide whether they want the steak, chicken or both. But even to the truest of carnivores, no barbeque platter is complete without something to hose it down with. That’s why Dino’s full-service bar is a welcomed addition to an establishment where you’ll have plenty of food to wash down.
