I really enjoyed my dinner here. The prices were good, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. I got the John Brown Reuben sandwich, the pastrami was great. The corn bread is also VERY good, and honestly could even stand on its own as a dessert.

I recently visited John Brown BBQ in Queens and left thoroughly impressed. I ordered the brisket, pastrami, collard greens, and mac and cheese, and every item delivered.
The brisket was tender and flavorful, with a deep, smoky profile, while the pastrami stood out as especially rich and well-seasoned. The collard greens were cooked perfectly—savory without being heavy—and the mac and cheese was creamy, comforting, and well balanced.
Beyond the food, the staff were consistently friendly, attentive, and helpful, which added to the overall experience. Service felt genuine and welcoming rather than rushed.
This is the kind of place you immediately want to return to, and I absolutely would come back for seconds. Highly recommended for anyone looking for excellent barbecue and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in Queens.

Got some takeout for the super bowl. Everything was delicious! The brisket was the real highlight. The sauce was good as well. The man working the front register was friendly and gave good service. I would return again sometime.

This place is the best BBQ spot to go to in the all the boroughs. nestled in Astoria, a Kansas City-Style BBQ spot sits, serving up the best BBQ in the area. i had a fantastic Burger there(though it was the daily special when i got it they are apparently putting it on the menu permanently soon) i love all the meats there though. the pastrami, the brisket, burnt ends. fantastic sauces, my personal favorite is the mustard BBQ sauce. a nice kick. also the service is simple and great. a nice woman is there that gives smiles and helps customers with cleaning up and also serving them the tray of food once it’s prepared. Great spot!

This place was bomb. Spacious inside and a super cute outdoor area in the back. The service was so friendly and helpful. Food was pretty legit too. The cornbread was a surprising star of our meal. The burnt ends were a bit too fatty but everything else slapped.

The good: Ribs, burnt ends and collard greens. Also the place has really nice outdoor seating.
The bad: brisket (it was dry), bread and beans.
The ugly: Cornbread – steer clear if you don’t like the taste of canned/cream corn. Otherwise very moist (almost soggy though).

Came here on a Sunday afternoon. The Chiefs vs Raider’s football game was on all the televisions . Everyone was dressed in KC Jerseys. It felt like we were in Missouri not Astoria Queens. Food is good. Nice staff. The lady working the outside patio was very friendly. On the expensive side so bring your Credit Cards . Give this place a try if you’re in the area. We will definitely be going back.

I have normally been a prime rib gal, but I think I’m gravitating now towards their pastrami and burn ends! Great time to go on the weekends right before it right at 5P, fresh cuts and slow crowd. Wonderful service by “Ma” and the team. Always feels like home when coming here.

As someone from KC, a few thoughts:
1. Burnt Ends were delish! A MUST have. Staple. Absolutely banger. If you’re ordering only 1 thing, get this
2. Cornbread is a bit too moist. It’s basically corncake. Could be up to your taste, but i think cornbread should be a hit structured and have a solid crust
3. Pit beans, i appreciate the burnt ends in the beans, but something felt off about the texture. Other pictures show a better version of the pit beans, so I’ll have to come back and try again and update
4. Huge on the white bread side. Very very Kansas City.
5. MAC AND CHEESE – primo. Beautiful. Must get.
Otherwise – staff were nice. Prices for portions were all reasonable. sauces were solid.
Definitely will come back

This restaurant offers an authentic Texas BBQ style experience with a great selection of drinks. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a spacious backyard area that can accommodate large groups. There are TVs available for watching games, making it a perfect spot for gatherings and celebrations. The food is delicious — everything we ordered was excellent. I visited on a Thursday, and the service was outstanding. A lovely Bangladeshi auntie took great care of all the customers, making the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside is that the location is a bit out of the way, so it’s more convenient for those who have a car. Overall, it’s a fantastic place and definitely worth a visit!
