    The food was tasty but cold and the drink had a lot of mix. Also there was a terrible fire alarm going off for 45 min. Just not the best day.

    Not what I thought it was going to be. One person in our party didn’t get her food until everyone else was done eating. Another person didn’t get the order she ordered so she accepted the order they gave her. My niece didn’t get her sweet potato fries until she was done. Waitress came by maybe 3 times to check on us.

    Decent Q. Very moist brisket. Baked beans were a disappointment. Watery and tasted canned.

    Good food. Ribs and brisket were well seasoned. Great service. It’s in the mall but still a nice atmosphere with sports on TVs and a chill casual vibe.

    Great service. Food was mostly good, but given big crowd of pre-game Jets fans, not all dishes were piping hot.

    Watched the NLCS game 2 while pre-gaming for the Jets / Bills game at Metlife. Had a wonderful time. Excellent service.

    Good food. Could have been hotter. They need to add a sampler plate to the menu. Two of us ordered platter for four since that was the only way to try a little of everything. Brought home 3-4 lbs of meat.

    They need to get different bbq sauce. If they did, one of the few places in the NYC metro to get good ribs.
