Dinosaur BBQ

Summary

I heard good raves about Dino BBQ from other people. The pickling of the salad is pretty good in general.

In the trio of meat, you will find pork belly, chicken, and brisket. The brisket to me was just ok. I think Hometown was much better. The pork belly was also ok. Surprisingly, I liked the chicken the best. It was tender and full of flavor and not overcooked. The collard greens were not memorable and neither was the cornbread. The one thing I noticed that I liked a lot was actually the slaw for some reason. It had a nice vinegary and sweet kick to it.

The ribs are probably what I would order next if I came here. These were actually tender with a nice burnt taste to the end. The potato salad was also good as well as the beans.

This is definitely no Hometown BBQ or Fette Sau, but it’s decent. I like how they have tables where someone would serve you instead of having to find our own tables. Because it’s located in Gowanus, it’s also a bit roommier as well.

Final Verdict

If you come here, definitely get the ribs over anything else. I think you will find better brisket at Hometown.
