The Scene 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 Food Though fried green tomatoes and punchy boiled shrimp start things off right, the smell of smoking meats quickly adjusts the focus. The smokey-sweet pork ribs gently release from the bone and the Texas brisket, a touch dry, gets a lift from a topping of tangy cured jalape?os and a dash of hot sauce. It's even safe to venture from red meat with the truly moist and tender chicken, brined then smoked for deep flavor. With the exception of the cakey corn bread, sides keep pace, with tangy Creole potato salad and sweetened baked beans the standouts.

    The NY restaurant just catered a picnic and the food was off the charts. That smokey smell/flavor wafted thru the air and folks began to line up and boy, oh boy talk about some good eatin'? best BBQ in NYC for my money We were not disappointed.

    Thanks Dinosaur - the food was fantastic.

    Fantastic bbq. Not too smoky just saucy enough, and the meat falls off the bone. I'm a regular from when the place first opened. Finger lickin' good chicken wings and Dog Fish on tap! Forget sitting at the tables eat the bar or at the tables adjacent to the bar. The crowd is always lively and friendly.

    Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse is fabulous. When I get there the atmosphere is very low key,busy, lots of bikers, and it is truly a fun place for lunch or dinner. They also catered my sister's wedding 12 years ago. We had BBQ on one side and Italian on the other. I buy the sauce at the grocery store all the time. Great restaurant. Love, love love it.
