This is a eccentric barbecue place and should be judged as such. That being said, the food is great down home barbecue and comfort good. I had the portabello pulled pork sandwich and the sides are fantastic. The waitresses are friendly and interesting. They do more than take your order, they talk to you which is so refreshing. Love this... More

I love this restaurant for their ribs and I have been there a few times. This time was not a good experience to the point that I don't think I will go back. For some reason they have decided to place tables in the middle of the corridor and sat us there. We were in the middle of the place... More

Perhaps we should have known better than to try BBQ in New York State but there was nothing else open, it was crowded and the food looked great. However, that is where it all ended.

Brooks' Chicken easily beats Dinosaur's, but their brisket is terrific. Just be prepared - not everywhere do the waiters wear extremely vulgar Tshirts even on Mother's Day.

This restaurant is so popular you should just opt for takeout which is just as good as eating in, but much quicker. Love the rice and gravy and cornbread. BBQ is delicious.

I've been to Dinosaur BBQ on three different occasions, all on different days/times with different types of people; the one thing that remained the same is how incredible all the food is. I can't wait to get back down to Syracuse to enjoy!

I'll start off by saying I live in Virginia-where the BBQ is taken VERY seriously...although not as seriously as it's taken "further south"! Lol! The trip to Dinosaur happened on a brief visit to Syracuse in Feb. 2013, traveling to meet friends of my boyfriend, and always on the lookout for really good food. The Sensory experience begins from the... More
