We searched and searched for a cool restaurant that was in our price range while visiting the Syracuse area and settled on this one. We were glad we did. This was an awesome restaurant. We enjoyed the western look both outside and inside. I thought it had a western sports bar feel to it. Both of our meals were excellent. And the prices for the portion I thought were completely fair. If I’m ever in the area again, I’ll be dropping by the Limp Lizard!!

Listen, I’ve been there 1000 times before but this time was different. Much different, too different even.
Ordered the catfish dinner with sweet potato fries and coleslaw.
A, catfish was somehow fried to perfection and so mushy that you couldn’t cut a bite to eat without smearing it across the plate.
Fries were fries, Syscos flash frozen fries…I knew what to expect when I saw them.
The coleslaw was dillweed heavy and somehow floral.
Like I said, I’ve been there a thousand times before and this time was different.
The atmosphere was unintentionally uninviting. There was a bar crowd that was very annoyed with our presence and couldn’t stop gawking at a couple people with tattoos and a Mexican kid just trying to celebrate his birthday with some bbq he knows and loves.
Service was worth the $130 spent…but nothing else has me wanting to return to that particular location.

Amazing! From the delicious BBQ aroma when we walked in the door, to the moment we left, I was impressed.
Our server was attentive (even though she was quite busy), the portions were generous, and our meals were delicious. Two of us had catfish strips with 2 sides, and the others had BBQ poutine, the Big Nasty, and 2 kids meals.
Saving over 3% by paying cash is a nice perk too.
I highly recommend this restaurant!

Got Nashville chicken which was really good but bbq was pretty ordinary. I was told it’s better than dinosaur bbq and I just didn’t see the hype in it. Brisket, pulled pork and chicken seems like the same thing you can get everywhere so it wasn’t anything to rave about. One flavor of sauce at the table instead of different varieties. Had high hopes. I’ll try again another time maybe. Kids burger was pretty small vs size of bun. We were some of the first ones there for lunch so maybe that’s why, but I figured it would be better

We all absolutely loved the fries. Very solid macaroni and cheese! Loved my burger, I wish I chose American cheese rather than cheddar but it was still great. SUPER nice staff.

First time visiting my bonus daughter at work. The atmosphere was nice. Sports playing on all the t.v.’s people sitting around the bar enjoying drinks and some patrons eating outside at tables. The food was good. The Catfish strips and BBQ ribs was amazing . The veggies has a smoke taste to them, not preferred but was pretty good. Will visit this place again.

The first time I ordered the brisket sandwich it was outstanding, but the second time it was dry and tough. So, they can be inconsistent. Not so with the barbecued half chicken which is always excellent. The sides are good especially the corn bread and baked beans, and the service is fast and friendly. UPDATE-1: Ordered a combination plate with pulled pork, 1/2 chicken, and ribs, plus two sides of baked beans. I hadn’t had their ribs in quite a while and they were terrific. We took home the half chicken and pulled pork for another meal.

I have eaten at Limp Lizard twice; once about 7 years ago, and at this location for the first time…both times with my brother and sister in law (this is a place they frequent) while visiting from North Carolina. Both visits were excellent experiences for us; fast and friendly service, a fun atmosphere, and the food can’t be beat!
We started with the “Sloppy” fries appetizer, and mango mojitos; I had the burnt ends with sweet potato fries and mashed with gravy, sis had the HUGE buffalo wings, and brother had the buffalo chicken wrap. The drinks were delicious, as were the generous food portions…love that barbecue!!
I highly recommend Limp Lizard, and they will be a definite “must go to” on my next trip to Syracuse!

We ordered our food to go but the atmosphere while we waited was typical sports bar/bbq joint. Staff were friendly and helpful while we figured out our order. The ribs were tender and flavorful without being too smokey. The brisket and smoked wings were perfectly cooked and the honey garlic sauce was wonderful. The star of the show for us was the southwest egg rolls – absolutely perfectly crispy and just stuffed with pork, black beans, cheese and more!
