50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Elmont

“The food is so delicious, juicy, and perfectly seasoned—not dry at all.

I love that they grill everything over charcoal in the open air, so you can actually watch them prepare and cook your food. It makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.

The smoky charcoal flavor makes everything taste amazing.

Their sauces are amazing, especially the Mango Habanero sauce!

Another nice touch is that they always serve free tea to their guests.

The waiting time is reasonable, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Great food, great service, and a really nice atmosphere.

Highly recommend Layali BBQ!“

“Very good food“

“Good Ramadan Iftar buffet“

“Such a cute place. Service can be a bit rude. One of the staff was a little loud and mean while I was asking questions. But it’s alright, it was a little busy. But service can be a little nicer.

Also, we dined in; the server was sweet just not as helpful. Once you order food, that’s it. They bring it and then you go and pay. They don’t really check on you.

Food was okay.

They have a great menu. Not too expensive.

Overall, a 8/10. Will be coming back.“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Y Space BBQ! The space‑themed atmosphere is so unique and fun, perfect for group dinners and date nights. The meat quality is excellent, fresh and flavorful. Side dishes are tasty and well‑prepared. Our server was attentive, helpful and took great care of our table. The restaurant is clean, and the overall vibe is energetic. Great value for what you get. Highly recommend this spot for Korean BBQ lovers. We will definitely come back!“

“The food is like nothing I’ve ever had before. The best restaurant in Flushing. I had a wonderful time with my friends. :)“

“Came here with a group of five and had a great experience. The interior is cozy and perfect for a relaxed meal with friends.
The food was packed with flavor and definitely impressed the whole table.
Lamb and beef kebabs were well spiced; Glass noodles in sesame sauce were a surprising hit—everyone at the table loved them!
The BBQ lamb rack was a standout: incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor.
Great place for group gatherings or casual dining. I’d definitely come back!“

“Really good food. Unique service and prices are the best. I totally recommend if you want a real Korean bbq. I travel from Connecticut to flushing NY totally worth it.“

“Lovely place we enjoyed it it was very cool“

“Love this place!!!!! Food 🥘 and service is exceptional“

“The staff and the food was amazing! My family and I went to celebrate my birthday. The host Mia and Elena was delightful and our server Minerva was gracious and accommodating. The manager Michael then gave us the birthday special which was the song and celebration along with a comped meal for me (with ID). Amazing!“

“Located in front of Paris Baguette, the BBQ truck has some of the best skewers I've ever tried. They transport you to the heart of Xinjiang with its local flavors, grilled in front of you. My two favorites were the lamb and beef skewers, and the chicken skewers were also very delicious.“

“It's pretty nice inside and I like the massive selection that you can choose from. Definitely cool for hanging with friends or a casual date because the vibe is pretty chill. I usually don't have to deal with a wait before being seated and the skewers are great for sharing because they're all bite sized.“

“Family-run feel—friendly, efficient, and welcoming. The vibe is local and authentic. The food is the highlight, with well-balanced flavors that let the natural taste of the meat and fresh eel shine. Fresh banchan is another nice touch. Definitely worth a visit!“

“The ribs were spot on delicious including. The sauces. Highly recommended“

“Great staff! Lots of options to choose from and elderly and kid friendly!“

“I was staying at Hotel Indigo and stumbled on this restaurant. It was so good the first night, I went back again the second night. The staff was kind and helpful and the food was so good. The skewers are delicious but the corn ribs and cucumber salad are crave-worthy!!“

“super rico todo lo recomiendo al 💯“

“Excellent Dinning Experience ⭐️ Amazing Fire Show 🔥 Awesome Steak 🥩 Definitely coming Back 🔜 Best of Luck !! ❤️“

“Food are Great and so delicious! Staff are Nice...outstanding Service.i'm here almost every week. I can't survive a month without eating here🤣🤣🤣“

“Sometimes you’re just looking for a little beach time and some great BBQ – and Batesy's BBQ delivered on both! We were in town helping another G-FORCE location with an Amazon project, so naturally, we took a break to explore the local food scene. First Impressions: We kicked off with the Deviled Eggs – the jalapeño added a nice little kick while the bacon... well, it was bacon – crispy and delicious. Next up were the House Pickles – sweet, vinegary, and unexpectedly tasty. Who knew pickles could be this good? The Mains: Harry went with the Pulled Pork – packed with flavor, moist, and paired with an excellent sauce. The Potato Salad stood out with just the right-sized chunks, and the Cornbread? Perfectly crispy on the outside. Steve opted for the BBQ Chicken – tender and juicy, coated with that same outstanding house sauce. And the Kielbasa? This place might not be Polish, but they nailed it – full of flavor and definitely a surprise hit! The Potato Salad reminded us of Grandma’s homemade classic, and the Collards had a unique twist that, honestly, we didn’t hate. The rest of the table didn’t hold back either – from the Burger to the Mac and Cheese and, of course, more Pulled Pork, it was all a hit! No complaints across the board – Batesy's BBQ is definitely a must-stop if you’re in Rockaway Beach. #BBQLovers #PaintAndPlateCrew #GForceOnTheGo #FoodieFinds #WinWithVSB“

“AWESOME KOREAN RESTAURANT IN LONG ISLAND: I’m not a foodie and I don’t think I’ve ever posted about restaurants (but I am Korean) - I have to make an exception for this place. Yes, this restaurant is on Long Island, but the Korean food EXCELLENT (better than lots of places in Flushing) and service is OUTSTANDING. Every dish we’ve tried so far (짜장면, 순두부찌개, 육개장, 제육덮밥) has been so amazing, delicious, and authentic (especially the spices!!!). If you’re ever in the area, please stop in and eat here. It’s crazy awesome! Thanks to my friend for encouraging me to try at a Korean restaurant that is not in Queens. My family will be forever grateful - five stars and 2 thumbs way up from me and my family members. :)“

“The food is AMAZING , the meats are always top quality !! The staff is really great also :) The weekend WILL get busy , but the wait time isn’t too long , they always move tables in and out quick . My boyfriend and I come here 2-4 times a week lol and the staff recognizes us as regulars . We appreciate all of them , thank you !!!“

“second time coming to this place, definitely a nice place to come eat food with your friends and family. Had a group of 8 and they did a birthday song for us. Food was very good and i loved the atmosphere. The workers were very friendly and nice with us and helped o
us out a lot.“

“so delicious. got it delivered and arrived hot. got pork belly with mushroom, wagyu, short ribs, lamb pork beef, taiwanese sausages. everything was top notch THE ENTIRE WORLD NEEDS TO TRY TAIWANESE SAUSAGE OVER COAL.“

“I went to Beach BBQ and satisfied would be an understatement. Upon arrival I was greeted by staff at hat engaged as if we were family or old friends. I reviewed the menu and settled on the Dragon Glazed Salmon Mac and cheese and candied yams. The meal and service was superb. I highly recommend this spot ! Don’t walk Run to this restaurant!!“

“Been here a few times. Best skewer place in this area or matter of fact anywhere near here outside of Flushing. Food is always fresh and good and service is great. The 2+1 specials on the drinks with soju and beer is awesome. The place looks very clean and new. Very roomy as well where you’re not crowded with other customers and AC works great during hot weather.

This trip we had the pig head salad along with assortment of skewers. All amazing. The meat with salad was so refreshing.

They also gave us this entire dish of crabs for $1!!! It was so good as well.“

“Great service and friendly workers“

“The portions for the appetizers were so igwe couldn’t even order entrees. The food is well seasoned and delicious. The service was attentive. The ambiance is PARTY. You just keep moving as you done. I definitely will be back…“

“Not too many chances to go up to flushing for northern Chinese cuisine. This is really a different experience. The dumpling is very distinct and delicious. I like the cold noodle with sweet and curry sauce a lot. Bbq lamb is tastier than beef. Oyster isn’t in the best shape Overall this restaurant is famous for bbq for a good reason“

“Being a lover of barbecue, this place did not disappoint me; decent size portions on the 3 meat plate and at an excellent price, the ribs, pulled pork & sausage were all good so now I have to go back for the brisket & chicken; loved the baked beans & the sweet potato mash with pecans made for good sides! I definitely recommend & like MacArthur…..I shall return!!!!“

“Came here for dinner with our friends. Food was amazing and honestly quite affordable, considering it's AYCE wagyu (and other high quality items). We all ordered the lobster with cheese (limited one per person) and honestly didn't have high expectations, but WOW that was nearly my favorite thing I ate the whole time there lol. The servers were quick, clean, and friendly. Noise level wasn't too loud, they played good music, and we had a great experience overall. Will definitely come back here whenever we're back in Flushing.“

“Rica comidas y excelente atención“

“I come here often because everything is just consistently amazing. They prepare live eel fresh on the spot, and all the side dishes are homemade by the owner. Nothing is too salty, and they’re so delicious that I even asked if they sell them separately.

Today I came for the pork belly, and this place is truly a hidden gem for samgyeopsal. The meat quality is excellent, and the owner couple is incredibly kind. The music is great too—it’s the kind of place that makes you want to have a drink.

When the food is good, you naturally keep coming back, and this restaurant absolutely delivers. I highly, highly recommend it!“

“My wife and I were recently at your restaurant our server who told us he was new to his position (2weeks) gave us amazing cartious and attentive service like an experienced professional unfortunately I didn't get the young man's name..our visit was on Friday 2/25 at about 3:30 in the afternoon . I just wanted to give him his due compliments“

“We come here pretty often, and the food is always delicious! This time, we came with our kids, and they were so kind to give them complimentary French fries, which was such a nice gesture. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the food never disappoints. We’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommend this place — 5 stars!“

“The chicken skewers are delicious. Great late night snack. Not a fan of the beef or lamb skewers—too fatty and chewy for me. The chives are yummy, but too stringy. Owner is super nice.

Update: The beef and lamb skewers, while still somewhat fatty, have tasting better and better.“

“Great homemade chili. Some of the best French fries (get em Seasoned) I’ve ever had. Small joint so be prepared to wait for a seat or take out. What the staff lack In hospitality, they make up for it in their product. It’s almost comical...but I guess that’s part of the joy of this restaurant“

“So... much... food...

And all so good.

While there are many good Korean restaurants in the area, this place has amazing flavor. The flavor profile truly reminds me of the foods I had in Korea.

Growing up, my mother told us that one can tell if a restaurant is good by the taste and the quality of the 반찬 (banchan) this place had so many different types of Bandhan and all were unique and all very tasty.

I would gladly pay kore for the food, but I get it, with so many restaurants in yhe area, they have to have competitive pricing, and that's also why I highly recommend this place.

The 고등어 and soup was so tasty, one of if not the best my wife and I have ever had in US. I got the 부대찌개, and it was a crock pot brimming with food.

Wife and I agree, we just found our favorite place. We liked yhe food so much, we just ordered scallion pancakes to go.“

“Definitely coming back with family 🥰“

“what a nice place. went here for lunch with the family. great food, wonderful service, pet friendly. we ate outside under a shade. ribs were delicious, pulled pork, salad, and brisket. definitely a recommendation. can't wait to go again.“

“I'm visiting from Va. and I must say the food is good!!!!“

“Super tasty authentic Korean food, very good variety of banchans (side dishes), and amazing beef barbecue. Great quality food. People here are also very nice, we appreciated the friendly, attentive service both times we dined here. We definitely plan to come back here again and again.“

“Best rodizio around. The rodizio is out of this world. Great flavors and cooked to perfection. Also tried the lemon and garlic shrimp.... Get bread to dip in the sauce. They should bottle it. The sangria is awesome. Going to be frequent flyer here. Your welcome... 👍“

“We had a little bit of everything and it was all great. Burgers, quesadillas, egg rolls, wings. We tried it all and everyone said it was delicious. Will be back“

“Amazing bilingual service and great tasteThey understand both English and Mandarin. We order chicken, pork, and fishballs. I personally love the fishball skewer. $2 per skewer. Amazing prices for the amazing quality.If you get the chance, I highly recommend you give it a try. I had amazing experience and you might too.

Vegetarian options: They have excellent options for non meat skewers.

Kid-friendliness: They're so kind when my kid ordered by themselves.“
