We don’t live in NY anymore but we really enjoyed Pulkies when we did. We ordered it to our new home via Goldbelly and it was so delicious and easy!We recently sent Pulkies to our parents as a birthday gift. My father and his best friend (>75 year old Jewish men) said that the brisket was better than any brisket they’ve ever had. This is the highest of praise you can get. My mother could not stop raving about the cucumber salad and babka bread pudding.Because they had such a great experience we also sent it to our friends from NY who are living in Florida, they gave us the same great feedback.Pulkies has become a real crowd pleasing unique go-to gift for us to give friends and family around the country. Thanks for keeping us all so well fed!!
Pulkies dishes do not miss. They're putting in a strong bid for top BBQ joint in NYC.You won't have a bad time no matter your order, however, a few highlights for me were the bbq turkey (puts most pulled pork dishes to shame), mashed sweet potato, and cinnamon babka bread pudding. Also grab a gallon of the pimento cheese to snack on and thank me later.
This review is solely for the brisket. I ordered half a pound and paid $28. Dude, not worth it, way overpriced. Brisket was mediocre at best and a bit dry. I love brisket and left disappointed, especially since there are other great spots to eat in the market. I can’t say for anything else on the menu and the staff was nice.
Nick was one of the nicest and most knowledgeable bbq masters ever!!! This man gave us a tour of all this Jewish bbq which I have never had! I will absolutely coming back the turkey was to die for !!!
Nick is absolutely awesome here and their food is beyond delicious! Definitely the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. 10/10
Thank you, Pulkies for a fantastically savory dinner during Hanukkah. I ordered through Goldbelly and had the vegan stuffed cabbages, Kugel, and cucumber salad sent to our home in rural Michigan. It was so tasty and fresh! My family's only complaint was that I didn't order enough! Next time I know to get a meal for 8-10 for my family of 4.
Edible but not tasty. Just not good. Doesn’t taste good. Lol. I wish I had a better way of explaining it but it’s far too expensive to not taste good.
I had been wanting to try this place out for awhile, as I’m always searching for new vegetarian options. Unfortunately I was really disappointed. I ordered the vegan sloppy Joseph and the lack of freshness made me wonder how long ago it had been made. The quality and taste of the food was simply just not good. For $15 I expected a much better meal, and am disappointed that I wasted my money here. The pasta salad was extremely bland and tasteless, and for the amount of “meat”, I definitely would have needed another bun if I had enjoyed it enough to keep eating.
Edit- second time eating here and even better than the first. Officially addicted to the pulled turkey. The sweet potato side with the turkey was heaven.I don’t often have bbq but was lured by meat and hot sides as I’m on a diet and looking for low carb options. The pulled turkey is yummy and it feels like thanksgiving. Sides are good too. Honestly the serving is big enough to eat it two times so it’s worth the price in my opinion
Finally managed to try this spot out, and the food is good. The brisket in particular was great; I was given a leaner cut, but it still had the tenderness I’d expect from a fatty one, in addition to the great flavor.However, I do believe their are issues with transparency. I was excited to try the cornbread out, but was only informed after I paid that it was not available that day. Also, I wish the pricing was visible; I was a little sticker shocked when I paid (I ordered the brisket + 3 and my gut instinct on price was $20, but no more than $22, so $26 came as a bit of a surprise). Also, the fact that I was told it’s 1 hot side and 2 cold sides was a bit of surprise; my planned order adhered to that, but I could see somebody being frustrated by being told this last minute.Otherwise, looking to try out the chopped beef soon!
