38 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Staten Island

“My friend & I were craving some BBQ food so we found this place through a quick Google search. We weren't sure what to expect when we first walked in, but the restaurant looked very nice & kind of rustic. I love that they have a few tables out front as well to enjoy the weather.

Our cashier was very sweet, friendly, & efficient. She also helped give recommendations as well. I ordered the pulled pork "sammich" with a side of roasted potatoes, Mac & cheese, & glazed carrots. My friend ordered beef brisket with a side of glazed carrots & collard greens. The service was pretty quick & the food came hot. Everything looked absolutely fantastic, but it tasted even better! My friend grew up with this kind of food in his family & practically teared up while telling me it brought him back to his childhood with how spot on the food tasted.

Nothing lacked flavor whatsoever. The pulled pork sandwich was perfectly tender, moist, with a tangy/smokey flavor. The glazed carrots were the right amount of crunchy & had a hint of sweetness to them. The roasted potatoes were cooked to perfection with a delicious flavor I can't put my finger on soaked completely through each bite. The mac & cheese was so creamy with some bread crumbs on top- no overpowering taste of cheese, (I ate that whole side!)

The food was so delicious that I ordered food to go. I ordered potato salad, macaroni salad, corn bread, & the cobbler of the day which was peach. My friend ordered over $100 of stuff to take home including the restaurants home made drinks (sweet tea, spiced peach, lemonade, & strawberry lemonade.) He also purchased 4 different types of their BBQ sauce, multiple jars of their jams, cobbler of the day, & the shrimp gumbo. Not a single complaint with any of the food. The price point is perfect & affordable. We had to leave a review with how much we loved this place.

10/10, highly recommend! We will absolutely be coming back while bringing more people.

(In hindsight, I wish I took any pictures of the yummy food but I only took this one photo.)

Vegetarian options: Multiple sides are available for vegetarians. Even the smallest sides at about 3$ each, are quite large. You could make a whole meal out of three sides alone for under 12$“

“love ❤️ food. always pick chicken 🐔 to the bones 😋“

“this AYCE KBBQ spot is now part of my family’s rotation. the meat is always good and we love that they’re adding new items to the menu. we always get the cube steak, cast iron steak, pork belly and pork jowl. the staff cooks and cuts the meat for you and are attentive so that nothing burns. they also have some great sides like the beef soup, crab soup (must try if you like crab) and popcorn chicken. great spot to up your protein intake.“

“Okay so 4 of us went tonight. We weren’t crazy about all of us getting our food 20-30 mins apart. But it was because they just started a new ticket / menu system and it was like the 2nd day. With that being said the waiter and another waitress apologized and came over like 3 times. Were soooo friendly and sweet. Offered a free drink and just all in all were so kind. Matt his name was. Super nice guy. The ONLY disappointment was they have ZEROOO desserts. Not a cookie. Not a scoop of ice cream. Nothing. And I don’t kno about yous but after I eat I NEEEEED something sweet or like I can’t go on with my life lol. I’m Hoping they change that !!! I’ll definitely be back. The food was OUTRAGEOUS . I go out to eat a lot. Like ALOT. And the food is usualy decent or even good but the food was RIDICULOUS like I’ll be dreaming about the brisket n pastrami sandwich for days. The Mac n cheese was great. The coleslaw so good and the corn also fantastic. Fries even were good like I really loved It all!“

“I'm from out of town so I was really excited to try some of the local food spots in this area and this place did not disappoint. There was a bit of a language barrier but the staff was very helpful and offered me a menu in English. I ordered the salmon and I also had the spare ribs to go. Listen..... the food was amazing the drinks are very good. The bartender very beautiful and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food. Good music . Overall a great experience. 5 star for sure“

“This is a Northern Chinese style BBQ. I came here with my family for lunch.
The server recommended a lunch combo menu. This comes with 5 decent sized skewers, rice or french fries and a choice of a drink. We all got a variety of skewers and shared them. We also selected BBQ oysters which were delicious 🤤!

There is a bathroom on the premises.
No free parking. Street parking only. Paid during the week.

I will definitely come back to this restaurant and try their BBQ Fish which was displayed on the menu.“

“I absolutely love this place. I have a very bad case of long covid since October 2021 where almost everything smells and tastes rotten or sickly sweet. I am able to eat the hot pot miso ramen soup with a lot of different vegetables, and I can have the chocolate cake/cupcakes. So delicious! I can also eat the white rice and the grilled pineapples. Before finding out that I can have all of this, I was losing a massive amount of weight, thank God for the few things that I can have here, I’m able to maintain my weight now. I just tend to go a bit crazy with what I can eat because I’m so hungry from not really eating the other days. The workers are amazing. The manager, Justin is really nice and very funny. The owner Darin is also very nice. Love the atmosphere and the music, I still can’t eat the other things and the smells from the other foods still bother me but I deal with it just so I can eat what I’m actually enjoying there. Thanks kpot for being the first restaurant where I’m actually eating some things that I can enjoy. Highly recommend this place, especially this location. Twenty stars“

Although I’m not a local, I was welcomed and treated as one. I can’t wait to visit again! Promised I’d be back, and I don’t break my promises. See you all soon :)“

“The portion sizes were impressive! I liked the pasta, though I’ve had better. The French fries were absolutely amazing — crispy and delicious. They were also screening the finale of The Summer I Turned Pretty, which made the experience even more special.“

“Muy buena comida 👍🏽 Excelente“

“I was at the Forest Hills location, the food was fantastic and the service was great, my family and I left satisfied. Even though I had driven by, I had never pay attention at the restaurant, because on the side street 71 rd ?, there is no name plate on the facade, only on the Queens Blv. side, only when I drove east to west on Queens Blv I noticed the name; I think it should have a name on the side street also, because right now is a long black slab,take it from someone that works in the advertising industry!! You have a great location, take advantage of the visibility.“

“Life changing food. If you havent been here RUN“

“I have settled on wilson ave bbq as my favorite ribs and chicken joint in the iron bound. I live in the area, and they have always delivered on time, friendly, with great portions, and delicious. as an example, the cheese steak(with everything) is not like a philly cheese, but it is so damn good. I'm really grateful that a place like this exists near me. Thank you wilson ave bbq!“

“We had an early dinner at Koba and tried their bento box. The staff were attentive and friendly . Helping customers to make selection and explaining the ingredients to them. When it’s my turn i was glad they entertained my request. Meal portion was legit and delicious... The staff even checked on our meal satisfaction after that so it’s really a cosy experience. I just wish the music was softer.“

“Eu curto de mais do pagode a comida e muito boa e esse programa de domingo aqui e muito bom“

“Everything was delicious. Food was fresh, warm, hearty, savory and satisfying. Great service! Comfortable atmosphere. A great option for family meals, when unable or unwilling to cook at home. 😁 Good sized portions. I had the Chicken in Garlic Sauce with rice and beans. My friend has the BBQ Ribs and Chicken with Rice, Cabbage and Boiled Potatoes. This spot has been added to my weekly meal rotation.“

“Food is delicius, the first thing you going to see is a giant pikachu dancing and waving to give you the welcome. There’s so many options for food. Have to try everyting!!“

“Its my familys go to Portuguese restaurant in Elizabeth there friendly and the steaks are great“

“We saw them pop up on uber I was excited I can't do much or get out there was t-bine special, rice and fries buy one get one. They called because part of our order they ran out of they were happy to accommodate even with the language barrier I don't speak Spanish. Cooked perfectly!!!! We like ours still mooing! But you can taste the wood coal not the processed charcoal and the portions are huge. And I completely forgot it was smack in the middle of the feast! I missed you guys alot!!!! Thank you for making my Birthday“

“Interesting place and fast service“

“Five stars well deserved from the service to the food. I found my new go to restaurant when traveling to Newark. My server Emilio was on point. He recommended the rib eye and man was it a great recommendation. Not only was the steak cooked just the way I like it, the flavor was great. WARNING!! Come with an appetite if you’re going to order the rib eye because that rib eye is HUGE!!! It was also more than reasonably priced. I can hardly wait to come back to Newark now that I know about Dayton Steakhouse.“
