44 Best Barbeque Restaurants near St. Albans

“My deceased mother introduced me to Maxine's over 25 years ago. She LOVED the food! She often purchased meals from Maxine's at least twice a week. I believe these women respected my mother as well. I, too, grew to love the food and RESPECTED the hard working women (Maxine and her Co-worker) who ensured good tasting quality food! In addition, I had the services of this establishment prepare Sunday meals to be delivered to my Mom's home as a result of her experiences with Alzheimer's Disease in the last 4 years of her life! My mother and her Homecare Workers looked forward to these delicious Sunday meals. THANK GOD I was able to provide this service as a result of working as a retiree. At least 3X, when delivery was NOT available from Maxine's, Maxine brought the meals herself to Mom's home. I recommended wholeheartedly this business to as many people who were looking for a GREAT soulful meal to TAKEOUT. YESTERDAY, November 22, 2023, the day after my mother's birthday, I needed a piece of my mother! I had not engaged in purchasing food from Maxine's in a while. I ordered ahead of time for pickup. I took a cab! Once, I got there, I was told by Maxine's Co-worker that I had to wait in line like everyone else who DID NOT PLACE an order ahead of time. I wasn't there to JUMP the LINE or THINK myself better than anyone else! I asked everyone present before the Co-Worker appeared if they were waiting as a result of placing an order for Pickup. They stated they were not! The people who were WAITING for their food were VERY POLITE and UNDERSTOOD I had already placed an order. I am a Senior Citizen! The Co-Worker acted as if she NEVER knew me. This TREATMENT, after several years of ordering from her face to face. It HURT deeply! I have patronized and promoted businesses of African descent all my life! Maxine had the order ready. She had to inform the Co-Worker from the back that the meal was already prepared. However, I was NOT pleased with my meal upon arriving home to partake in it. A great deal of it appeared almost burnt. I spent $26.00 in carfare alone. OUR businesses MUST learn to RESPECT PEOPLE who WALK through their doors! You NEVER know what they are experiencing when they walk through your DOORS! GREAT FOOD is a MEANS of COMFORT to MANY, especially now! Based on my past experiences, I STILL give these women a high rating in HONOR of my mother. I LEARN lessons EVERYDAY and WORK HARD on IMPROVING my PEOPLE SKILLS as well. May WE learn to serve others with GLADNESS! May WE understand that ALL WORK is a result of the many talents bestowed upon us. Clearly, both of these women are GIFTED in what they do!“

“Was very good meat and the atmosphere nice .“

“Wanted to highlight our server, David, for a nearly perfect experience. The quality of the food is impeccable. The attention of the staff and the cleanliness of the space, all 5 stars.

However, overall, there is one flaw, and for that one ⭐ is withheld.

My party selected AYCE D because we wanted to have the best experience and value possible. Unfortunately, for $150, not yet including tax and tip, you don't get anything fun to drink and desserts are not included. IMO, this makes D egregiously overpriced for the casual diner. I recommend C or lower for most folks who are just looking to enjoy the experience, unless you are a registered human compactor for wagyu biomass, then D is the correct pick.

I feel that to justify $150, the establishment should include at least 1 drink and 1 dessert to really maximize value for the diners.

But I digress. David, thank you for your exemplary service.“

“Came here with family for a causal dinner. We were surprised how generous the portions of the dishes were and they were all reasonably priced. On top of it, all the dishes were pretty tasty and reminded me of the flavors from my childhood. The owner and waiters were friendly and made sure the dishes came out fast as we have small children with us. Definitely recommend this place, it is a neighborhood gem.“

“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.“

“The Cuban sandwich with 2 sides Is so delicious I Have been craving it for over ten years now since I Moved Out of town And I have never been disappointed by anything That I have ever had there and I was literally a regular customer there for over five years in a row I was just so hungry and I had to make it my daily lunch break Order and it was so good to have a seat at one of the tables and Take my lunch break and enjoy my lunch break with a leisurely seat at a little table. By the soda fridge and then I was done eating lunch and I had cooled off enough to get back to my work and finish for the day and then I went home with my full belly And complete satisfaction with my lunch and what I ate. I have been recommending this As the best BBQ place for miles and now It’s become a very popular destination among the friends and family who have taken my recommendations. Very seriously as well and they are. There frequently enough to Bring Me Back a takeaway order and bring it to me when they visit Me on the north shore of Long Island. Where I live now“

“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🤣🤣🤣“

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

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

“Lovely place we enjoyed it it was very cool“

“Perfection, personified. The food…. My eyes are always able to see what’s going on behind them, it’s so mind-curlingly good—it even made me create that word.. 🤪💞😻.

Vegetarian options: Broccoli salad, and Brussels sprouts? I didn’t realize they were vegetarian, as I always get them to make the meats ‘healthier’.. 😁.“

“Best thing here by far are the lamb and chicken “kebabs”, which were pretty good for a quick bite on the go. It’s probably not going to be quick if you come on a weekend. We also tried the fish balls and octopus/squid and they were nowhere near as good.“

“The food was really good! Loved the pulled pork and the mac and cheese was super tasty! The collars greens were were cooked well although lacking a little acid for my taste but that was quickly remedied by adding a little of the Carolina bbq sauce which added a mustardy kick. The service was friendly and attentive. My only complaint is the overuse of disposable plastic dinnerware, cups, and serving vessels. If they used more eco-friendly products or traditional plates, silverware, and glasses I'd love this place a lot more. 😏“

“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!“

“I am from Toronto and this has been our go to spot in Queens. I wish we have something like this in Toronto. The soup and bbq grill combo PLUS the sauces! Will keep coming back! They have huge selection of food and dessert and their ready made apps were all so good! Been dreaming of their garlic rice! Service was quick and efficient. It is a timed seating but it is more than enough to get your fill. Very affordable price point considering the quality that you are getting!“

“One of my favorite cuisines is Korean. I’ve been craving Korean food ever since I got here in the US, and this spot has truly satisfied my cravings. Plus the staff are very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for quality Korean food! 파이팅! ❤️“

“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“

“Smoke and Barrel is a restaurant and bar. When you are inside you can admire the beautiful decor. The food is outstanding especially the brisket. The staff is extremely helpful and polite. This is by far the best restaurant I've ever seen in a long time.“

“I grew up in Elmhurst and getting skewers at this neighborhood staple as a snack was always a treat I looked forward to. Now, I’m happy that we can buy as many skewers as we dare (before we pass the threshold of waking up with a sore throat the next morning).This Chinese BBQ skewer cart is a no-frills, mom and pop food stand on the corner of Whitney Ave & Broadway by the LIRR tracks. Most of their skewers cost between $2-$3; they’re perfect for a late night eats adventure! The seasoning the sweet Chinese couple uses has just the right amount of cumin, heat, and spice. We sat at one of their 3 tables this past Monday evening and saw a steady stream of customers lining up for their grilled skewers. When all 3 tables were full, a 4th table and set of stools was set up as well. The cart is at their spot daily between 5:30pm-1:30am - you’ll find them if you see the smoke!?

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“We came here on a Sunday noon. It is the best bbq that we had. The eel is really fresh and chewy. We also had large intestines, pork neck, and kalbi. The kalbi is also really delicious! They gave a large bowl of kimchi, lots of delicious banchan. Their japchae is awesome, and the bibim noodles are on point. The servers are the most awesome people in korean restaurant! My and my friends and family are definitely coming back here for the good food and good service!“

“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. :)“

“My nephews words: “best ramen in the world”.

Food was good. We brought five kids and there was something for everyone.

Kid-friendliness: If you bring a stroller you’ll need to park it up front if you are seated upstairs.“

“Nice and clean. Great quality! Not your usual Korean BBQ. It's set up buffet style. All the meats and veggies are organized and fresh. The meats are seasoned well. Kevin was an amazing server who was“

“excelente servicio, buen ambiente, platos exquisitos muy buena presentación 👍 🤩 precios cómodos“

“Very good food“

“Delicious fresh eel and god stir fried squid too. The eel was fresh, first thing you see to your right on entry. The couple that owns the place and soo nice and educated us on the stone (imported from jeju-do) and the meal. The eel was soo fresh and slightly crispy, I can’t wait to go back.“

“Came with my boyfriend whos been here multiple times and said it was delicious, and he wasn’t wrong. We got chicken, squid, chinese sausage, ricecake, shrimp, and beef skewers that were ALL amazing. HIGHLY recommend the spicy powder on any skewer you order. I have low tolerance for spice, but it was just a small kick for a couple seconds. I will be coming here way more often, I found my favorite food spot for late night snacks.“

“They were about to get off work, so I felt a little embarrassed to go there. But they still let us finish our order and the service was great. The meat quality of the barbecue is also good, but the sauce they come with is not to my taste, but my friend likes it very much. The meat in the pot buns is extremely thin and crispy.“

“They are back! after weeks of being closed. The perfect spot for a late night bite in flushing. They have a wide variety of skewers even seafood choices. After one or two skewers you will find yourself hungry for more. The meats are prepared and kept fresh in clean coolers it’s a street cart so they meticulously clean the area making sure their customers are happy. You can sit and eat small chairs and tables are provided.“

“Rica comidas y excelente atención“

“BBQ Chicken was 1000/10 and excellent customer service!!!“

“I went to the chicken and beer restaurant 3 times...
The chicken is really delicious~~~The grilled chicken tastes like nothing I've ever had anywhere in Flushing~~
I really recommend it~~~I’m going today too~~
I forgot to take a picture...ㅠㅠㅠ“

“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.“
