It was a truly great experience! My friend and I loved the food, and the portions were huge. Atmosphere was busting, we waited an hour just for a party of 2. If you're with waiting, it's one of the best spots in town.

I've been to restaurant in Rochester, NY. This was my first time at this location. It was much better than the Rochester location.
I had the ribs (6), mac-n-cheese, and baked beans. The sides were delicious. Being from ATL we are real particular about our mac-n-cheese., minus the red pepper on top. The beans were tasty, bell pepper and meat are added to the beans. The ribs were good. HOWEVER, they came out cold. As well as the other people at my table. We did not send them back. Should have but didn't. When ordering make sure to tell them you want your meat hot. Would I return to this location, Yes I would. Portions for me were just right.
Our waiter was honest when asked if he liked something or not. Which is valuable to me.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is already legendary for the food, but this review is about Kevin, the customer service specialist who casually turned a to-go hiccup into a masterclass in how customer service should be done.
Our to go order had an issue. Nothing dramatic. No smoke signals. No angry pacing. Then Kevin stepped in, listened like a human who actually cared, and somehow made us feel like VIPs instead of people with a problem. That takes skill. And probably superpowers. Our faith in humanity was inexplicably restored by this man.
If Dinosaur Bar-B-Que hands out caps, Kevin deserves one with sauce stains and pride. 6 Stars for Kevin but the system won't allow it, so just give the man a raise.
Thank you Kevin from AJ & Tracy Stevenson Faithful and loyal customers thanks to you.

Very nice place. I was there with a group and the reserved area was big enough to hold us.
Ample food presented at their buffet set up. Be careful of which sauce you use and make sure you don't use too much. You'll need more napkins if you slather too much lol. And if you don't like it too hot... Just use the regular sauce.

The food was great, we ordered quickly and our food was at the table by the time my daughter and I came back from washing our hands. I was hungry and had a hard time ordering as it all looked good but I went with the catfish, cucumber salad, and a side salad, and it was delicioso. The cucumber salad was super chunky and great and the cat fish was perfect.
My wife got pulled pork and my daughter had the kids ribs and both were pleased. The only thing I didn't like was our small table right next to other people and their small tables but that may be the norm, I dont go out much and it's nothing against the restaurant.
