What People Are Saying About Dinosaur Barbecue
The Editor
Erin Behan
Citysearch
The Syracuse-based barbecue phenomenon plunked a sprawling roadhouse with all the familiar back-road accoutrements into an abandoned meat factory. Unfinished wood-beamed ceiling, burlap bag curtains, scattered country bric-a-brac, and an enthusiastic greeting feel worlds away from the city. The roll call of devotees includes area families, couples on casual dates and groups of Columbia students. The meaty menu ranges from fried green tomatoes and smokey pork ribs to Texas brisket and bronzed catfish. The real stars of the show, however, are the jumbo spice-rubbed, pit-smoked chicken wings.

The food was commercial BBQ. The Service was horrible. It was moderately priced. Don't waste your money.

I'm not a big BBQ eater, but I've been to Dinosaur BBQ a few times and pretty much licked my plate clean. The Deviled eggs are a must have as an appetizer and every entree I've tried (ribs, brisket) was tasty. The drinks are good and strong. Be sure to leave your mark on one of the bathroom walls.

Dinosaur is like the Disney world of bbq restaurants. Always crowded. Very nice service. Makes the trip up to West 131 St. well worth it. Oh, prices are excellent too.

Honor New York with a smooth Blue Point Toasted Lager when choosing from among the 23 beers on tap. There's also a specialty drink menu, with enough sweetened alcoholic drinks for several days worth of hangovers.
