50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Mt Vernon

“Great food, good people. Unlike a previous reviewer stated, they did not close because the food was unsafe, the building is not safe due to a fire (not sure how that person didn't notice). Hopefully they come back soon and the building doesn't end up like most fire damaged places in Mount Vernon.“

“Delicious one of a kind place in Mount Vernon. I love going there with family and friends. All of the staff is very friendly my friend who cuts meat is the best. The pichana and garlic sirloin are the best cuts of meat ever please come here“

“me agrada mucho la atención y su comida“

“Good food, every things good.“

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

“Really enjoyed lunch here with friendly owner knowing all! Great pastrami.“

“Was in Fort Lee from Dallas, TX. We stopped in for dinner and was very pleased with the staff. The food was fantastic. We had the spicy wings for an appetizer and they were the best wings I ever ate. The baby back ribs were cooked to perfection and the corn on the cob was very tasty. Wish they had a location in Dallas,TX.“

“Food was better than expected for the airport food court!

Very crispy hot honey chicken sandwich- I just didn't like that you have to pay extra for lettuce and tomato... Otherwise it comes plain with just bread and meat (I didn't find this hot at all, but I admittedly have a better than avg spicy tolerance). Would love if they introduced a more veggie involved version (lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles etc.) that was actually hot!

I also got the waffle fries and honestly they were amazing. I prefer skinnier fries and usually find waffle fries ok because they're too thick / I like the crunchy ratio to soft potato better in regular straight cut fries. But these waffle fries are thinner than standard (*ahem Chick-fil-A) and quite crunchy! House made sweet tea was ... Too sweet, unsurprisingly.

One thing I hated was the packaging for the sandwich .. it comes in a plastic clamshell, plastic??? Why ? who does this in this day and age, switching to cardboard boxes would be an improvement. Please get with the times ?? otherwise food is good and I'd return!“

“Place is quite nice. My friends enjoyed their meals very much. It is a bit tough finding vegetarian dishes here and I wish the restaurant kept at least one or two large vegetarian dishes that arent pork/beef broth based. However, this may already be known to people before they come in, so shouldn't detract from the review. Ambiance and service were great!“

“Great food, atmosphere and service!“

“A really great BBQ experience. We've been driving past this place for years, never had the opportunity to stop in. Today we made a special trip just to check it out. Well worth it! Had the ribs, chicken, and shrimp combo with q side of beans and potato salad. Oh, and cornbread. Chicken and ribs falling off the bone, no need to use the knife. Shrimp are nicely sized, and coated in an excellent cornmeal batter. Sauce on the ribs and chicken is sweet and smoky, exactly what my ideal barbecue sauce would be. The wife had the pulled pork sandwich platter with a side of mac-n-cheese, all of which were excellent. The platter came with a tremendous amount of fries! This is a counter service establishment, and the girl behind the counter was upbeat and very friendly. The atmosphere is like of one of those Memphis homes that was converted into a restaurant; small amount of seating, and comfortable and friendly. Ok, one thing, no sweet tea available, but some Snapple tea with lemon is an acceptable substitute. Definitely coming back“

“Love MQ. Order the brisket often and adore all their sides. Just got a bowl which I never had and it was super yum. Fast delivery and great with order changes I order from their website dislike using all the delivery services and the exorbitant extra fees. Thanks MQ!“

“This place has both Korean BBQ grill and traditional Korean dishes. Actually it has a surprisingly wide selection of traditional Korean dishes despite the name. Interior is nicer than most others. Service was great (they grill it for you table side). Parking available. Lunch specials too. Very comfortable and delicious spot. I will be back!“

“The ribs need to be more tender and more season it was dry
The potato salad need some relish
The chicken need some season
Cole slaw need more sauce and finely chopped
100% good corn bread
Beans 100% good
100% good bbq sauce
Overall the food was good
I didn't see beef ribs in the menu“

“Excellent meal and service we really had a good time.“

“i just had to review this place and i usually do not leave reviews, let me just say the food was amazing! i am not from nj but will definitely have a go to spot to eat if im ever in the area, definitely recommend this place the burgers and brisket and fries are all amazing!“

“I love this place and the girls who work there“

“Been looking for a good BBQ place near me for a long time. I'm so happy I found this place. Roni was really sweet and very attentive. The food was excellent! The place has been there over 25 years as a testament to how good it is.. I hope they stay open another 25..
They could update the TV and wall art. I will be going back soon and I recommend it to everyone!!! Take care of this place people.. ?“

“Always a great meal. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Owner is very nice and always making sure everything is to satisfaction. Very clean and sanitary. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“Great ribs and sides! Nice beer selection and would highly recommend“

“Chicken mac and cheese fire“

“我想問如果要坐輪椅。有沒有升降電梯的“

“Actually ate at Sam's. Newly updated, renovated space looks great! As always you feel like family when there. We started out at the bar and chatted with Ron then moved to a booth for dinner. Food was fabulous!! Chef came out to talk with us as well. Lovely evening!“

“I was there for takeout for the first time last week ~ All I can say is Yum and will order from them again Even spoke with the man who makes the food himself! Thank you!“

“omg the chicken and ribs 😍 4 get about it 😍😂😂“

“I love it!! And the place is clean“

“I’m something of a BBQ critic having grown up in the South and lived there for 40 or so years and I’ve had some bad pork experiences in NYC. So much so that I’ve told my friends, “NYC does every type of cuisine well EXCEPT BBQ” I respectfully retract that statement after having AU Jus’ SUPERB pulled pork sandwich this evening. I’m going to have to join a 12 step program to stop myself from eating it every day. So good it’ll make your tongue slap your brains out.“

“It was very quiet when I came here one night for dinner. I ordered the pork ribs with coleslaw and macaroni. The macaroni and cheese had fantastic flavor, with a tasty creamy cheese sauce. The ribs themselves were not as great as I envisioned. The barbecue sauce helped a little. Overall, I'd come here again but probably order a different main dish.“

“Tried for the first time and it’s out favorite go to restaurant. What yummy juicy hamburgers. Thank you Dan and Victoria for your wonderful service Kathe and Dan“

“Placed the order over the phone yesterday afternoon. Roasted corn and jerk chicken was a really good value for 2ppl. The gentleman there was kind enough to accommodate my friend and I with plates and utensils.He also offered us extra pieces of bread for free.Call ahead of time, wait time may take 15min-20min. Great customer service!“

“If you’re in the Washington Heights area and craving delicious, comforting food, look no further than Au Jus. Specializing in Oklahoma-style BBQ, this place is a true hidden gem on Broadway. I had the pleasure of trying a few standout items from the menu, and everything exceeded expectations. The brisket was smoky, tender, and practically melted in my mouth — the perfect balance of savory and rich flavors. The onion burger was another highlight, with a juicy patty and caramelized onions that added just the right touch of sweetness.

For sides, the Gouda mac and cheese was the definition of comfort food — creamy, cheesy, and with just the right amount of bite. It’s one of those dishes you keep coming back to, bite after bite.

One of the real standouts at Au Jus is the homemade barbecue sauces. The gold-style BBQ sauce and the hot sauces are outstanding — the perfect accompaniment to the rich, smoky flavors of the meats.

While the in-restaurant seating isn’t the most robust, Au Jus is fantastic for quick dining and even better for takeout and delivery. Whether you’re grabbing a meal to go or having it delivered, the quality remains top-notch. You can tell that every dish is made with care — it’s clearly a labor of love, and it shows in every bite. Great food, friendly service, and unbeatable convenience make Au Jus a must-try for BBQ lovers in the neighborhood. Highly recommended!

Kid-friendliness: Au Jus is also a fantastic spot for families. The menu is super kid-friendly, especially with classics like the Gouda mac and cheese that little ones will love. Plus, the tender barbecue options are perfect for introducing kids to smoky, flavorful meats. Whether you’re dining in or taking it to go, it’s a great choice for a family meal that everyone can enjoy.“

“great food BEST NACHOS EVER“

“Went to a party there. Felt bad that we had one waitress who had little help, but was really amazing regardless! The food was great! Can’t believe I have never been here! Definitely will be back. Have to try that Bloody Mary!“

“Great times to get together with family celebrating birthdays“

“After not coming for a long while because of our experience… I am so happy we decided to come back! Damien was our waiter and he was PHENOMENAL!! The last time we came the service was not great, Damien completely changed how we feel about Kpot Englewood. He was very attentive, changed the grill every time it even appeared dirty, refilled waters regularly and checked on us numerous times. He had lots of tables but made us feel like we were the only ones he was taking care of! Food was great!“

“Went there today for the first time with my wife, I had the 10 West burger, so delicious, cooked perfectly and the burger was huge, just the right number of toppings and the bacon jam hit it out of the park. The sweet potato fries were excellent and enough for two people. The chips that come with the burger were also good. My wife had the regular burger with no cheese and an order of regular fries. She really enjoyed it and said it was cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly, the owner, Mel, greeted us, took our order and chatted with us while our order was being prepared. We were given a little disc that lit up and vibrated when the order was ready to be picked up at the counter. One of the best burgers around! A little pricy, but definitely worth it! We'll be going back for another delicious mouthwatering experience!“

“Really free pizza from the regular slice to the artichoke slice not to mention the beet salad. That was a special, super Duper good, and the owner and the staff were so friendly and accommodating.!!!“

“Love the place would bring family any day of the wee“

“This unassuming takeout spot consistently delivers friendly service, a well-priced menu, and most importantly, delicious food.

While the atmosphere is casual, the food is anything but. We often call ahead to place our orders and pick them up, although their delivery service is also an option. Expect a 15-20 minute wait for your order to be prepared.

The generous portions are perfect for sharing, and we highly recommend trying their fried chicken, spam musubi, Hawaiian chicken, chicken and broccoli, and sesame noodles.

*Note that during busy periods, getting through on the phone can sometimes be challenging.

Vegetarian options: Sesame noodle - our toddler LOVES them!“

“The chicken pot pie, while not an actual pot pie but more of a soup, is delicious! The chicken is very tender without being mush and the flavor is fabulous. The ratatouille and garlic green beans as well as the lentil & pork belly soup were also quite enjoyable. Although the food is not heavy, it is quite filling. We can't wait to try out the rotisserie chicken lunch special and I'm sure Rotiss will be on our regular rotation.“

“Would give 3.5 stars. The beef lo mein was good. The chicken and broccoli was good, but it didn’t taste like what I expected. The scallion pancakes I would absolutely not order again. There were hardly any scallions and the pancakes had a styrofoam like texture which was super off putting.“

“I place an order on line, one pulled pork, one pastrami sandwich one mac & cheese and the cornbread.. let’s start with the pastrami; LOVE IT, perfect prepared, just delicious. The pork incredibly perfect cocked and s so tender, the mec as well super creamy and delicious and the cornbread ( with is one of my favorite) is omg to diet for.. thank to the Chefs“

“The hospitality is always on point when I dine there. The food is delicious. A nice small intimate setting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.“

“It's sooooo good! Authentic Korean Delicious Food with Great Costumer service and ambiance. See you again next time. 🤩👍“

“Thanksgiving dinner was a little underwhelming. I ordered the take out turkey dinner. No butter for cornbread or sweet potato, no utensils offered. Dessert was a tiny donut drop, not impressive. It was budget priced, but you get what you pay for. Overall, not awful but carelessly presented.“

“It was my first time visiting and I was pleased! My server-Austin was exceptional! He was attentive, courteous and efficient. He took care of my table as well as another servers table as he passed by.

The dinner rolls with cinnamon butter were to die for. I ordered the steak and shrimp with mashed potatoes and vegetables and it was absolutely divine. My boyfriend ordered the catfish with with seasoned rice and chili, and it was amazing. Looking forward to returning and ordering more you will not be disappointed.“

“I've driven by this place a billion times and never once gave it a second thought. I'm also not a food truck kinda guy but wow did I just find a new spot to frequent.

Prices are so reasonable considering today's absurdity and the food is great. I had the brisket and pulled pork sandwiches, both tasted great. My foodie fiance loved it as well and she's a tough crowd.

If you skipped this place before, turn back and give it a shot. The guy who helped me was very polite, which is rare to see good in person customer service these days. Trust me, this joint should have way more than 30 reviews.“

“Best pizza in a 30 mile radius. Not greasy at all. Dough has flavor and texture. Great balance of sauce, cheese, and spices. Seriously, I haven't had such good pizza in years. Bonus: you don't feel gross after it. Its almost like if a Neapolitan and Bronx pizzas had a baby.

Kid-friendliness: Super kind and nice to kids. I've also gone in person, and they are a great family“
