Fantastic brisket and pulled pork (who am I kidding, everything's great)! Great selection of beers on tap . A must when you're in Rochester.

Grant

Get the Tres Niños to sample the brisket , ribs , & pulled pork . All were pretty good, but slathered in sauce, so that's mainly what you're tasting. The Mac&Cheese has a spice to it and was very good!

What's Good Here

If you're biking the Erie Canal bike trail , great BBQ is not far away. Take a detour towards this location overlooking the picturesque Genesee River and you won't regret it.

Greg Mattison

Amazing food. The Tres Ninos plate was awesome and a ton of food. The Wango sauce was very good, a little spicy which is exactly what I was looking for. Mac n cheese side was fantastic.

Rachel

It is BEYOND worth the hype. Hands down best BBQ I've had. BBQ salmon , collard greens , beans, Mac n cheese , sweet tea...and the cornbread ...ah lord it was good! Come hungry!

Kristin P

So much great food to choose from. Best to call ahead and make a reservation to get around the long waits . Also keep in mind that it's usually a pretty loud atmosphere.

Stephanie Curd

Take advantage and order one of the plates so you can sample more than one meat and the sides! Baked beans are amazing! The bar-b-que is tender and very good, though not the BEST I've ever had.

Andrew C

Been to few different locations and definitely would rate this spot as #2 (behind Syracuse)... staff was quick and friendly + obv the food was phenomenal and filling!!!

Bob Von Der Linn

Beef brisket is very good. Cajun corn & baked beans sides. Match with a Southern Tier 2XIPA and you've got a great meal. Garlic chipotle sauce has great flavor but is very hot

Fernando P.

Jim is awesome & personable. He's been here for years and even though I don't come to Rochester much he remembers me well . He knows what I tend to order. Which is amazing in itself. Thanks Jim!

Jonathan Hoster

Amazing food and outstanding funk and blues ! Everything here, including the atmosphere, is awesome! ????

David Puskas

The Dino's wings are dry-rubbed, smoked, grilled, and slathered in your choice of sauce (the Jerk Glaze is a great new addition). Usually available after lunch due to the long time in the smoker.

Marc Mayer

If you order like Macho Man Randy Savage, there is definitely a chance that your server will love you. Then again, you're not Randy Savage. Never will be. Have some ribs anyway.

Greatest dessert , creamy and crispy , almost as good as the BBQ

Mary Vacca

Everything is good here. The pulled pork is so good. Spicy corn rocks. Really, there are no bad choices. Even the sides are special.

Chelsea Fultz

The food is amazing. We went on a Saturday night and the wait was an hour but it was well worth it. The waitresses are very friendly and accurate!

Peter Rauh

BBQ !! all of it. The brisket and Beef ribs stood out to me. Cornbread was moist and good, too.

Brandon Hostetler

Be sure to get the BBQ wings as an appetizer ... They are the best wings I've ever had! I took two orders to go with me to eat later in the night!!

Scott Sturm

Brisket was a tiny bit dry but had tons of great flavor and smoke to it. The mac and cheese is amazing!

Tom Morgan

Had Family Style Ribs , Brisket , Chicken , Greens, BBQ Beans , Corn , more. Always good. Get there EARLY!

Sharon Chen

Hard to go wrong here, and portions are more filling than they first seem. Ribs and pulled pork are delicious.

Erica Arnold Nance

Hubby had the ribs and I enjoyed the catfish po boy . Nice space

Tom Comet

When I get delivery on GrubHub, I always ask for extra sauce in the notes. They don't sauce their meats very heavily, so I like a little extra.

Akita

Everything is good! So glad we had a chance to visit! Can't wait until they come to Chicago!

Pete Maneiro

Best BBQ in Rochester, NY. It is also one of the best BBQ joints in the state of NY if you ask me...

Deb Perez

Ribs and pulled pork are great. I tried a local blueberry ale and it was fantastic.

Melissa Burgess

Great food & great atmosphere. If the wait for a table is too long, you can also order at the to-go counter.

Rebekah Cornell

The Sweetheart plate was amazing!!

Jesse Baldridge

The 1/2 party platter is absolutely the best bang for your buck. Everything is delicious.

Tom Comet

Surprisingly, my favorite dish isn't the bbq but the creole deviled eggs ! I have cravings for them all the time!

Nicholas Harness

Great food. I've yet to find something on the menu that isn't great. The Pork Sket is definitely worth a try.

Melody Newhard-Kirk

Thanks to my daughter who RIT student had my first dinner experience there was awesome the best ribs I have ever eaten

Jon Edicola

Bar and live music are great. If you're a fan of poutine you won't be disappointed either!

Sarah K. Quinn

Try the Dinosaur Poutine - So amazing! Covered in meat and #gravy with chunks of %cheesy goodness. Highly recommended!

Mike

Good beer list with great prices. Great bbq and side dishes. Cool location. A must if you are in Rochester.Suggested local beer : Anything Rohrbach. (Especially Vanilla Porter or Scotch Ale )

MaryEllen Coleman

Always a noisy , fun place to dine. Be prepared to wait. The Big Ass pulled pork is a favorite.

Moe Dexler

Awesome food here. I did not know what to order, so I got the combo platter. So good!!

Michael O

Their ribs and pulled pork is amazing. I sometimes order food there and another when I leave.

Thomas Myers

Ribs are a natural. But they also have a great smoked portobello sandwich !

Ron Levenberg

I've always liked Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. This week, I also had dinner at Sticky Lips and I have to say that Sticky Lips was much better.

Bram Bessoff

Best brisket , chicken lovers try the Rajun Cajun, everyone try the fries and get a bottle of sauce to go.

Charles Willis Sr.

Food especially the ribs , collars and music is great. Especially when Joe Beard is blowing. ????♏

Kevin Stuckey

This place is so cool looking on the inside and it's packed a lot. Reservations are recommended.

AMAZING BBQ . Can't forget to mention that the mac and cheese , cajun corn , corn bread , & drunken shrimp are fantastic!!
