First I most say that got here after 2pm and they were out of some food items. That’s definitely my fault. Get here at good time so you will have more options.
I got the pull pork sandwich and side of collard greens. The sandwich was massive!!!! The sauce did come on the meat which was a good thing. The meat was juicy and tender. The bun was buttery and flavorful. However it wasn’t a winner for ME! I can see someone loving the sandwich!
The collard greens were good that were standard like catered style.
The service was really great! It was quick and fast! And the staff is really friendly and helpful!
I will come back again and give an updated review!

WOW! Dino watch out because this bbq is amazing ! Loved the mash potatoes even better without the gravy honestly! And the cornbread is warm and moist which is a must in my book ! Think about Texas twinkies for an appetizer you won’t be disappointed!

Decent BBQ and unique side dishes. Flavors are very good. Everything was cooked and seasoned well. The portions are a bit small and the cost is high, so you might leave thinking the value isn’t great. It’s definitely worth trying but not my favorite BBQ joint.

I had a phenomenal experience in my first trip here! The social media images I had seen looked mouthwatering, and the real life version fully lived up to the hype, which is so rare. I also think they’ve identified an excellent underserved niche here, great barbecue within the city limits of Rochester is not easy to come by. Kudos to all involved!

I have lived in Rochester for my whole life. We saw this new barbecue restaurant called “Rev BBQ”. We enjoyed The Revelry before this new, hipster place. As my family and I walked in, we did not get the vibe of a barbecue place, but of the restaurant before, the revelry. We absolutely love dinosaur barbecue in the city, so we were excited to try a new place! We were so disappointed. Our waitress was nice and accommodating, no complaints there. I ordered the 1/4 chicken with Mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese, as well as my children. I was appalled to see how HARD and honestly, dangerous the chicken was. The “Skin” was like plastic. The barbecue sauce was sweet, disgusting and vinegary. The chicken was like dead, washed up ropes that I literally had to choke down. My children’s food was the same way, so I know that it wasn’t just a mistake with the kitchen. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!!!!! GO TO DINOSAUR BARBECUE!!! My husbands beer also came 20 minutes late after the food, and his ribs tasted like a sweet vinegar weird taste. It was odd. If you enjoy good barbecue, sail clear from this place.

Best Barbecue in Rochester!!! Everything was so good. I had 2 meats with Mac and Cheese. The ribs had a lot of meat on them and very tender and brisket was also very tender. They give you sauces on the side but the meat was so tasty, you don’t need additional sauce on them. Everything, including the corn bread was so delicious. Very pleasant casual atmosphere for lunch with friendly, helpful staff. I will be returning for dinner soon. The lunch area is located in the plaza next to Tony D’s while the dinner restaurant is in a separate building.

This place is awesome. Don’t find southern BBQ like this up here often or at all. Very quickly becoming one of my favorites. Haven’t come across anything I haven’t liked yet.
(The brisket is good, but definitely try the turkey and pulled pork, it’s to die for)
All the sides are great too.
The service is top notch.
We are kind of a pain when we go in and order proteins by the quarter pound (it’s cheaper that way if you dont want 4 pounds of meat everytime you go lol, they are always happy to work with us in getting what we want.
The only gripe I have with the place is they dont have a fountain for drinks, you need to buy it by the bottle.

Third visit. I’m not a food critic nor am I a very good cook, but I do know great food and a cool place. This place is good shit. Everyone is friendly, all the games and shows are on low and today they had the Eagles and the Who playing in the background. The brisket is thick, tender and just fatty, the ribs have the ends (my favorite part), and the chicken is perfectly seasoned. The bbq sauces are perfect – not too sweet, mustardy, or vinegary. My cats love the ribs, btw. Wine & beer soon.
We are in the land of Dinosaur BBQ and I would never diss the OG cult favorite, but I would strongly suggest you leave Dinosaur to the tourists and get yourself to the Rev.

Food was delicious. Service was standard issue cafeteria style. ( not a fan) Dining room was very cold that was not helped by the huge gusts of cold air that came in every time the door was opened. The steel chairs were hard and crazy cold as well.
I’m sure it would be great in the summer when you can sit outside.

We had reservations for four on December 12 and were seated right away, which was great. The lighting and overall vibe of the restaurant were nice. It was our first time here and we were excited to try it based on the reviews.
Unfortunately, service ended up being really slow. It took over an hour for our food to come out, and since we had a show right after dinner, we had to box everything up almost immediately. From the few bites we did get, the ribs were pretty tough and the pork was dry, which was disappointing. The mac and cheese was good and definitely the highlight. Overall, we didn’t feel the food was worth the price and would probably choose another BBQ spot next time.
