5 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Greenwood Lake

“I saw this place often as my bus passed it on its route. I thought it was just a catering spot... 'til I saw the "open" sign on. I am happy I saw the "sign" because I knew I could order a small meal. We had the Honey Bourbon BBQ Ribs, Garlic Parmesan Wings, Honey Fried Brussel Sprouts, Honey Butter Cornbread, Macaroni & Cheese, Brisket, BBQ Seasoned Fries and the Apple Cole Slaw.... Baaaaaby!Everything was delicious...the ribs were of great size and cooked to perfection and the sauce delectable. The chicken wings were seasoned just right and they had real parmesan flakes of cheese not that shredded kind. The Brussel Sprouts had a little char to them and the combination of Honey and Parmesan Cheese was something I never had before but will definitely be something I'll have again. The Mac & Cheese had a different flare that I surely tasted can't quite put my finger on the flavor of seasonings but I enjoyed it. Danielle was so pleasant and upbeat as well as her assistant/best friend and they made us feel comfortable. My 13 year old daughter who is a finicky eater was happy with her Brisket over Mac & Cheese and side of Seasoned Fries and the portion was of an amount that when she tells me she's hungry I can say you have leftovers. The icing on the cake was the Honey Buttered Cornbread what is there not to like about Honey, Butter & Cornbread all in one. The apple Cole Slaw was an acquired taste I wasn't expecting. It was more like a salad that did not need any salad dressing. It was different and I like different. All in all this place is a hidden gem in plain sight. If you are ever thinking about getting some BBQ give this place a try, I promise you, you won't be disappointed. I'm definitely going back there are a few more things I'd like to try. Thank you Danielle for bringing good EATS close to home.“

“We were visiting family in the area and the group went out for dinner here. The food was AMAZING. I've been to a couple of BBQ joints in Texas and this place was pretty top notch right up there with them. The brisket was spot on, I prefer mine to be a bit leaner cut and this place this delivered on that! The sauce was more of a North Carolina style, thin and sweet with a bit of vinegar undertone. The rest of the table really enjoyed their orders, the chicken cheesesteak looked substantial. The sides are almost a show-stealer, not to take away from the meats but man are they good. Skip the fries or tater-tots (you can get that stuff anywhere) and go for the more exciting options like duck-fat infused mashed potatoes or the beer-cheese mac. Nice beer and wine selection, canned offerings from local breweries. I *think* there was a dessert menu, but I was way too full to consider it.“

“CASH ONLY. I try to wait and eat here if I'm delivering here at C&S. The food is amazing! The older gentleman that runs it is friendly and seems to cook the food with love. (He cares, doesn't just throw something at you that's not worth eating)“

“After hiking in Harriman State Park, our go-to spot for dinner is always Rhodes North Tavern, where we almost always indulge in their cheeseburgers. During our visit about a month ago, we stuck to our routine and ordered our cheeseburgers medium rare, accompanied by a side of French fries. To our satisfaction, our order was spot-on!The cheeseburgers were cooked impeccably, boasting a delightful pink and juicy interior. Admittedly, they leaned a tad towards medium, but hey, that's why we opt for medium rare, right? ;)However, the French fries didn't quite hit the mark. They had an odd taste, almost like they were sprinkled with something resembling sand. It was a bit disappointing considering how well the burgers were prepared.On a previous occasion, my husband decided to deviate from our cheeseburger tradition and opted for the ribeye steak, while I settled for the half-roasted chicken, as I wasn't feeling like having red meat that day. Unfortunately, neither of our dishes lived up to expectations. My husband's steak, despite being cooked to his liking, was disappointingly tough and sinewy. It was quite a challenge to eat. My chicken, ordered plain without any sauces, had an unusual yellow color and an off-putting taste. Initially, I suspected it might not have been fresh, but it's possible that it was due to some spices or seasoning that didn't agree with my palate. I managed to eat some of it, but it wasn't an enjoyable experience, so I ended up mainly sticking to the mashed potatoes.Despite the less-than-stellar experience with non-burger dishes, Rhodes North Tavern remains a top choice for burger enthusiasts. The service is consistently excellent, and the ambiance of the restaurant is quite pleasant. Overall, I still recommend giving this place a try, especially if you're in the mood for a delicious burger!“

“Krysta f was a amazing server even with my friends being their selfs she was still polite and accommodating also had good drink choices. Can't speak for my friends but the pulled pork and house bbq was mediocre corn bread was amazing though. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone! Just don't get the pulled pork if your from a state that actually does good bbq.“
