I've been to Dinosaur many times and it's always been reliably good. There are no bad options on the menu and the beer list is also very good. Slightly overpriced.
About 25+ yrs ago i used to work at the restaurant in Rochester ny, and the food was some of the best I've ever had. Fast forward to recently, its still the best restaurant food I've ever had. The food is unexplainable. You have to taste it to believe how good it is. We had wings, and they were smoked to perfection. We ordered the 3 meat combo plate. Half a chicken and 2 helping of prime brisket along with 2 sides macaroni & cheese, collard greens. And let me tell you, it tasted like someone your grandma would make. Cornbread was like in the old days. This is some good old fashioned southern cooked food in nyc, dont miss out. The owner John is a down to earth man with a great heart.
Very good food. Large portions and alot of options and sides. Would recommend coming to get food here. Expect to pay $40 for a main entree and so far the BBQ brisket is my favorite.
A friend in New Jersey suggested we eat here and we were pleased that we did so. Food was delicious, especially the chicken wings. Staff were friendly and professional. The environment was rustic and relaxed.
They were able to accommodate us on a busy night. The services was OK. The food was good. Patio was not being utilized.
Wonderful meal and experience at the BK location. Our waitress (unfortunately forget her name) was friendly and shared her recommendations for sides which were spot on. Ordered the sample platter which had a few meats and sides. Perfect move to try a couple of different options.Normally I would go into specifics, but honestly everything was wonderful and I would return to have it all again. Highly recommend and thank you for the great meal.
The food here is consistently good. The meat is always smokey and good. The combo platter is the best deal for food, either 2 or 3 meats and 2 sides with a cornbread you can't go wrong. The sides were delicious and just as good as the meat. Definitely worth the visit, unlike other BBQ spots this place isn't obnoxiously overpriced.
Was in town and heard this place was good. Triny (sorry for spelling) from the bar was our server. She was absolutely outstanding. She made great drinks and gave us great food service too. We we’re there during happy hour, 4-7. They had great specials on food and drink. The bbq was really good, actually better than I expected in NYC. The pickles were the best I’ve ever had…seriously! Of course Triny brought me more when I remarked on that. The place had it all, great service, solid food, tasty drinks and good “feel.” I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and highly recommend them.
Wow wow wow. I've eaten BBQ all over the US. You can follow my reviews through about 34 states. It was the 3rd best brisket that I've had in NYC. And it was really delicious. Juicy, Flavorful, and the texture was melt in your mouth. I also enjoyed the pulled pork and the ribs are pretty good here also. But I just had to be clear that the Brisket was stand out amazing this visit. The service was also totally on point and the atmosphere was comfortable. Reservations can be made by phone and they are advisable in my opinion. They get busy. I'm also leaning towards advising getting there during the early hours for the tastiest portions.
Its the only game in this neighborhood, if you must stay on this street, eat here, Period. I got the fried green tomatoes with Ranch and the wings. Very good
