I went here with my boyfriend and the waitress looked like she didn’t even work there she had a face full of makeup and she just kept coming over every minute literally we couldn’t even hold a conversation with each other. Felt like she was flirting to be honest so unprofessional. If we needed something we would’ve just asked. Don’t be so persistent and desperate cause we tip big over here you don’t gotta do all that smh

It is so sad that those burgers are good because the place in Syracuse was small and they gave us a table in the back and it was close to the wall full of flies. We were disgusted with so many flies all over us that we have no intentions of going back. They should do something about it or the customers will fly away too. We went fron NJ, not worth it.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que – Harlem, NY
If you’re craving real, smoky, fall-off-the-bone BBQ in New York, this spot hits the mark! The brisket was unbelievably tender — juicy, perfectly smoked, and drenched in their tangy house sauce. Every bite melts in your mouth with that deep, slow-cooked flavor you can only get from real pit barbecue.
The whipped sweet potatoes were a surprise standout — buttery, creamy, and just the right touch of orange flavor sweetness to balance the smoky meats. Service was impressively quick and friendly, even though the place was packed. Food came out hot and fresh in no time, which made the whole experience even better.
The vibe is classic Harlem — rustic wood, buzzing energy, and that smoky aroma drifting from the open kitchen. A great spot for hearty comfort food with zero pretense.
The food was absolutely phenomenal. The trio platter, which included two sides, was a perfect choice. The 1/4 chicken, pulled chicken, and brisket were all incredibly delicious. The spicy cucumber salad was also a standout dish. The service was excellent, and the staff was accommodating and attentive, even with our large group.

I wasn’t able to order. The place was overcrowded. The wait time was 30 minutes. I’ve been there in the past year. At the beginning the food was great but the quality is coming downhill.

Went here with my boyfriend at 7 PM and boy, it was packed! The place was bustling and since we didn’t have a reservation, we ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a table. Note to self (and to anyone else thinking of going): make a reservation. Even people with reservations still had to wait a bit, so that says a lot about how busy it gets.
Once we finally sat down, it took about 30 minutes for our food to come out. We started with chicken wings (3 pc for $6.50 or 6 pc for 12.50) — I had the honey BBQ and he had the jerk glaze. For mains, my boyfriend ordered the jerk salmon with mac and cheese and Syracuse-style potatoes ($23.50). I went for the combo plate—¼ chicken and prime brisket—with whipped sweet potatoes and French fries ($26). We also had their strawberry lemonade, which was super sweet but really refreshing.
Overall, the food was worth the wait. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, and I’d definitely come back—but this time with a reservation, lol.

The service was exceptional that the server provided. She was patient, helpful, friendly & recommend what was economical on the menu for a party of four. Everything we order was delicious & filling. The restaurant has a nice ambiance & location which is near the Hudson River. Highly recommend when in Harlem. Also It was good to be home again & see all the new changes in Harlem after 40 yrs.
