Dinosaur Bar-B-Que – Harlem, NY
If you’re craving real, smoky, fall-off-the-bone BBQ in New York, this spot hits the mark! The brisket was unbelievably tender — juicy, perfectly smoked, and drenched in their tangy house sauce. Every bite melts in your mouth with that deep, slow-cooked flavor you can only get from real pit barbecue.
The whipped sweet potatoes were a surprise standout — buttery, creamy, and just the right touch of orange flavor sweetness to balance the smoky meats.
Service was impressively quick and friendly, even though the place was packed. Food came out hot and fresh in no time, which made the whole experience even better.
The vibe is classic Harlem — rustic wood, buzzing energy, and that smoky aroma drifting from the open kitchen. A great spot for hearty comfort food with zero pretense.

The service was exceptional that the server provided. She was patient, helpful, friendly & recommend what was economical on the menu for a party of four. Everything we order was delicious & filling. The restaurant has a nice ambiance & location which is near the Hudson River. Highly recommend when in Harlem. Also It was good to be home again & see all the new changes in Harlem after 40 yrs.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Harlem (right off 125th Street by the Hudson River) is a fantastic spot for classic southern barbecue in a great location. The restaurant is super clean, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.
The space is versatile — you can grab a seat at the bar, sit at tall tables, or settle in at regular tables. It works equally well for big groups, small gatherings, or even solo meals.
As for the food, it’s exactly what you’d hope for: smoky brisket, tender baby back ribs, pulled pork, and all the classic southern sides like coleslaw, potatoes, and fries. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and everything is served hot and fresh.
The location is a real plus too — right next to a park by the river, making it perfect to stroll before or after your meal.
If you’re looking for authentic BBQ in NYC with great service and a prime setting, this place is hard to beat.

I really enjoyed my meal at Dinosaur Bar-B-Q! We went on karaoke night, and even the host and servers were humming along to the music, creating a warm atmosphere. I really appreciated the gluten-free menu! I ordered a salad with pulled pork, a deviled egg, and their house dressing (barbecue sauce mixed with blue cheese!). Everything tasted amazing! Our sever, Nikki, was a delight!

The Dinosaur Bar-B-Que restaurant is an absolute amazing barbecue based chain that offers guest delicious Southern style cuisine ranging from brisket, ribs, pulled pork and wings.
In February of 2019, I brought and treated my wife and myself for dinner at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, specifically the branch based in Harlem, New York to celebrate our Happy One Year Wedding Anniversary!!! We both very much enjoyed our dining experience!!!
The staff warmly greeted us when we arrived at the restaurant and quickly provided us with a very large and comfortable dining table. Our server, Joel was very kind, superbly professional and made us feel right at home. He did a great job on explaining the menu options, the specials for the day and offered great tips on the dishes that we were likely to favor and enjoy. In addition, he perfectly noted our orders, and routinely checked in on us to make sure we were having a good time and that our needs were met. We thank Joel for his hospitality and wonderful service.
Ultimately my wife and I decided to order the “Family Stylin Bar-B-Que” entree which consists of 6 pieces of whole chicken, full rack of ribs, an order of pork or brisket, cornbread and 3 homemade sides. We were both in awe of the sheer quantity of food that was provided and we found every dish to be well cooked, perfectly seasoned and fabulously delicious. Everything was flawlessly made and a delight to eat!!!
If you enjoy Southern style cuisine coupled with great hospitality, you’ll definitely enjoy visiting and dining at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. My wife and I would love to thank this great restaurant for providing us an exceptional dining experience, one that we’ll cherish forever!!!

Upon entering we were seated right away, it was extremely busy around 1pm so the food took a while to come out. Our server was very apologetic but this wasn’t his fault, he was very kind. The food was good but there’s room for improvement. The collard greens was very sour and it didn’t seem fresh, however the brisket, pulled pork and the cornbread were amazing. They were juicy extremely flavorful, the bbq pork beans were okay, could’ve been smokier.

Went here with my boyfriend at 7 PM and boy, it was packed! The place was bustling and since we didn’t have a reservation, we ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a table. Note to self (and to anyone else thinking of going): make a reservation. Even people with reservations still had to wait a bit, so that says a lot about how busy it gets.
Once we finally sat down, it took about 30 minutes for our food to come out. We started with chicken wings (3 pc for $6.50 or 6 pc for 12.50) — I had the honey BBQ and he had the jerk glaze. For mains, my boyfriend ordered the jerk salmon with mac and cheese and Syracuse-style potatoes ($23.50). I went for the combo plate—¼ chicken and prime brisket—with whipped sweet potatoes and French fries ($26). We also had their strawberry lemonade, which was super sweet but really refreshing.
Overall, the food was worth the wait. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, and I’d definitely come back—but this time with a reservation, lol.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. The trio platter, which included two sides, was a perfect choice. The 1/4 chicken, pulled chicken, and brisket were all incredibly delicious. The spicy cucumber salad was also a standout dish. The service was excellent, and the staff was accommodating and attentive, even with our large group.
