Times Square Restaurants, Ranked

"Come For: An avalanche of frozen drinks, plus a rib or two. The Henny Colada at Dallas BBQ is more than a cocktail. It’s a full-on meal, and it’s reason enough to visit this chain when you’re in the mood to suck down a concrete-thick dessert swirled with, maybe not the finest of cognacs, but one with great brand recognition. At this spacious restaurant, where life-size buffalo gallop across the walls, the mood is festive, communal, and slightly grim. The space could use an update, and the packs of out-of-state high schoolers do kind of harsh the partytime vibes, but the ribs aren’t bad. Don’t kid yourself, though. You're here for the drinks.

Dallas BBQ Times Square - Review - Midtown - New York - The Infatuation

"As you glide up the escalator at the entrance of Dallas BBQ in Times Square, you’re greeted by a landscape filled with wild horses kicking up dust. That’s what freedom looks like. If you want to know what freedom tastes like, try the signature 32oz Henny Colada served in a heavy glass goblet that could fit a bowling ball. It’s a wonderful drink. More of a dessert, really, and not too strong. The brisket, on the other hand, tastes like it spent the night in an ashtray. Edible, sure, but not quite barbecue. Stick to the ribs, and try the chicken that melts in your mouth in a way that feels inappropriate. Dallas BBQ is a good time. Bring 40 of your friends. The food isn’t exceptional, but the drinks and portion sizes are." - Bryan Kim

We had the pleasure of dining at Dallas BBQ three times during our stay in New York. Twice in the restaurant and once with takeout, and every experience was fantastic! The food is absolutely delicious, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing or satisfying a big appetite. I especially enjoyed the Frozen Margaritas, which were consistently excellent whether enjoyed in the restaurant or taken to go. Our kids ordered the hot dogs twice and were always pleasantly surprised by their impressive size and taste. The salads were another highlight, large, fresh, and full of flavor, making them a great option for a lighter yet satisfying meal. Overall, Dallas BBQ delivered a consistently great experience with tasty food, fun drinks, and generous portions. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a lively and satisfying meal in NYC!

I go here as often as I can. This place has great food, amazing drinks and always welcoming. Some days are insanely busy but let's be real thats the city life. This was one of the times I brought my kids and the waiter was exceptional, he was patient and worked with them. Food was out quick and was on point. Crispy wings, med rare steak, fresh fries, my son lived the henny burger and my go to is the onion loaf and chef's kiss it was perfect in every way. Drinks are worth every cent.

Each time I've been to Dallas BBQ it's always been a pleasant experience. We were waited on by Madou(?) Food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all around positive. I wish they had a Long Island location.

The service was horrible… from management to the waiters. HORRIBLE!!! The food on the other hand was pretty good. The DRINKS, were good and strong and worth every single penny lol. I would go back just for the drinks (especially if they can be ordered to go). Other than that… I wouldn’t return or recommend

Came here before, years ago, and it was amazing. Came for birthday weekend trip and was excited to have the cornbread as hard as a biscuit on the ends and the same with the baby back ribs...hard, crunchy and almost past jerky. French fries were decent and then they bring out cske pops that taste like a hostess mini donut put on a stick. The only good part of experience was how friendly the waiter was. This wasnt the first experience my friend has had here and she's a NYC regular.

This place was highly recommended so we decided to give it a try during our trip to NYC. The atmosphere was very upbeat! It was a nice crowd of people there but the service was amazing. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious!! We tried the sticky wings and ribs! The portion size was just right, we actually had leftovers. Totally worth the experience!!

The food was great! Wings are BIG and get the Hennessey flavor..soooo good! The chili was recommended by the waiter, and it's a must try. Cheeseburger was good, but I hate that the bun was really soggy. I highly dislike soggy bread, so pass if you like your burger medium rare. I also brought home the Sticky tenders.....sooooo good!!!! Drinks....Tangerine flavor made the frozen margaritas feel almost nostalgic. It was like a taste from my childhood, minus the liquor.

Midtown Manhattan urban lunches - 1 of 2 I was transiting through New York City and it was going to take two subway rides to get to La Guardia Airport. However, I could put 2 to 2.5 hours in between the trains, get lunch, and visit with a friend from grad school I hadn't seen in at least two decades and who tries to live in other places but always returns to Manhattan. We texted and talked and agreed to meet for lunch, but I only required that it be close to Port Authority (which I used to call Port of Authority through my teen years) and that it wouldn't be on the list of a few cuisines I do not eat. The first suggestion was Carlo's and I happened to be on that corner, looked in, and didn't want to go there, even though they had some lunch fare. Then, I wondered if the place was under the umbrella of the 'You can't arrest me ... I'm the Cake Boss!' guy. I told my friend I'd pass on that one. My friend lives far up on the Upper West Side and didn't know too many places to eat in Midtown. She tossed out a place named Dallas BBQ. I looked it up and, since I was also tired of sleuthing, I agreed to it. Dallas is a Tri-state chain barbecue place and this store is not even a block east of Port Authority and, in reality, it's fine. You can get all the Texan stuff and the fixings, but there are other options. I had a chicken sandwich with fries and my friend had a Caesar salad. Accompanying these dishes were a soft drink and an iced tea, respectively. Upon walking in, you will note that this restaurant is big and that a lot of the seating is upstairs. We went up there and it seemed like the serving staff was "checked out" ... and they weren't even full. Once we sat down and started ordering, they became more engaged. (And, no, I refrained and did not speak Spanish to them, which could have really taken things in two opposite directions.) The deal was that they seemingly help each other and I couldn't tell who our server was. However, things started to click and the servers got to work. The tab was palatable for being in such a trafficked urban location. I almost didn't want to eat here, either. It initially gave off a Hard Rock Café vibe and I have made it a point not to eat at any Hard Rock Café, unless someone were to pay for it. I liked sitting upstairs and Dallas has windows onto 42nd Street below. Laughter doesn't hurt and my friend has retained the same quirky and irreverent sense of humor. In unsuccessfully trying to live in other places to get more bang for the buck, she blurted out, "Low cost is boring!" and laughed. Classic. So, she slogs through the daily grind in Manhattan. I had to scratch my head here ... how is it that one goes to a (then) Big 10 university, initially stays in contact with only two people from that region, and everyone else I met and stayed in contact with was from the Northeast or foreign? Is there some kind of homing device that you meet these people almost instinctively without knowing where they hail from? There is no halo effect for Dallas BBQ for this reunion and the laughter from looking back at some of the trying and ridiculous things about our program. The rating here is for food that's reliable, prices that are contextually fair, service that finally warmed up and got the job done, and being an acceptable option in proximity to both Port Authority and Times Square.

I love me some BBQ but this wasn't my ideal place to come and dine. It was getting late and this was the only place in Times Square that was taking dine-in orders. Spacious and clean dining area, enjoyable music and a good view of Time Square. The waiter wasn't focus and not paying attention to our order. Luckly, I was hungry or I would of left out. I ordered the half slab of ribs, baked pototoe and a side of cornbread. The food rating 3/10 poor cooking. Nope this is not the place to come and dine if your ever visting N.Y.

Popped in over here on Mother's Day based off of mom's request. We were immediately sat after being able to see the entire restaurant size (truly it is massive). The escalator was down so we took the steps up the exit as instructed. The theming as we walked through has a lot of bison and random art which was cool to see. The restroom was surprisingly small and felt very tight even though this establishment was huge. Also poorly lit. Once seated we glanced over the menu and I opted for a beer (the one I originally ordered they said they didn't have) a beyond burger and a baked potato. Overall the food was mediocre. You could only get butter, sour cream and cheese with the potato (I asked for chives and was told they didn't have that). The burger was bland and nothing to remember. They gave us free donuts? Cake pops? For Mother's Day which was nice, but they also were very bland.

Another theater visit ,another Dallas bbq visit. As always the Times Square establishment is always bustling with excitement and non stop activity. It's always busy here but the service is always on point. Our server Bijon was excellent had a great disposition and was very nice. We started with cocktails, I had a frozen strawberry daiquiri, my wife had her go to piña colada and my daughter had a margarita. The drinks were potent and always good. We did the sticky wings. We did the Hennessy wings ,bowl of mac & cheese, crumbled bacon and crumble cornbread on top. My wife had corn yellow rice. My daughter had the salmon and fried shrimp and we had the cornbread. Everything was delicious and excellent so much food we definitely had to take a box to go. If you're ever in Times Square Dallas BBQ is the place to go. You won't be disappointed.

We entered and immediately greeted by a hostess. Went up to the second floor and was seated right away. We only got apps during our time here and then didn't disappoint! The Hennessy wings were good but it just tasted like bbq sauce. The fried chicken wings naked were plain but it was SO good. Light, crispy and flavorful. Overall experience was great and we come here every time we visit NY

We got the 1/4 chichen white with yellow rice, starter chicken tenders, salmon with yellow rice and a cup of mac and cheese and a cup of the turkey chili. My 7 year old thinks the chicken is two thumbs up but a little spicy. My daughter said the 1/4 was bland but the yellow rice was good. The mac and cheese and turkey chili were delicious. My husband said the salmon was OK but that's his standard answer. The biggest negative is they give you soft drinks in tiny cups with no free refills. What's up with that?? The restaurant is very loud with the amount of people plus music and the tables are really close to each other not offering much privacy. Service is very slow.

Came here for lunch after church with a large group. The place was quite spacious with multiple levels. There was some cool artwork around and the decor was simple, yet nice. As to be expected, it took awhile to be seated and we could not all fit at one table. The hostess was able to seat us in the same area. I ordered the House Special, which consisted of baby back ribs, fried shrimp, sirloin steak, cornbread, crispy onion, along with a side of my choice. I went with the Fries, but should've gone with rice, as the Fries were soggy and not flavorful. I did enjoy the Fried Shrimp, Cornbread, and the Ribs. Fried Shrimp was in well seasoned batter, crunchy and juicy. Cornbread was buttery and soft. Ribs were tender and bold in flavor. The Sirloin Steak was not good... Too tough without much flavor. Service was decent. Pricing is a bit high, as this is a chain restaurant in Times Square. Since the food was mediocre, I would not return.

THIS PLACE IS HUGE LOL We walk in and keep going and then we take the escalator and the place just never ends omfg... kinda crazy. Got a seat by the window so it was fun watching down on people walk around. Food was fine. Got the sticky wings which okay, I got the 5pc bc i didn't wanna spend much but i was hungry so i was worried it wouldn't be enough but omg these "wings" were HUGE! Like these were large chicken strips, talk about value! The sticky sauce was interesting...... smokey but sweet but not like a bbq sauce but more candy vibes??? Weird af but the chicken was crispy and I went home with leftovers so I can't complain. Got a side of the mac and cheese which was standard. It did match a texas southern bbq style mac and cheese tho! The real kicker here are the DRINKSSSSSS omg one thing ive been lacking in nyc is the giant tex mex style frozen drinks and this place DELIVERED. Got a BANANA piña colada. Yeah thats right a BANANA ONE!!!! Amazing. I downed that bowl it was fire and I actually felt something off of it!!! Might not come back for the food but WILL be back for the drinks.

PROS: service was good and attentive, as for food - chili was very good, it was thick & temperature was hot, cornbread was lightly sweet, brisket sliders were good and coleslaw was good too (not mayonnaisy). Overall, food was an 8.5/10. Atmosphere was lively, bustling and the restaurant is easy to find & in a great location, walkable. CONS: waitress - she could have been friendlier or least faked it. She was super dry... never smiled at all, unpleasant.

l go here alot, (Washington Hts.) and tip high, but just hated tonight's experience .. The restaurant was filled, but it was 11:05 and the host wouldn't help me even get something small to go, but was rude, dismissive and seemed mysogenist, agist and racist. l was a bit sick and trying to order a potato or chicken to-go, and had traveled a long long way .. He said all the food was thrown away by then, and refused to even get me a potato .. as a regular, l was terribly disgusted ..

Food was decent. I believe you can never go wrong with this place as there is something everyone can enjoy whether it be a drink or food. Service was alright although our server took forever to ring us up. Ambiance is a nice place to stop by with friends or even go on a chill date .

Where do I start? Times Square BBQ, is lacking in professional behavior towards its customers. My friend & I went there in New Year's Day 1/1/2025 to celebrate the New Year bc we never go out on the Eve. Our waiter, Anthony covers Table #60, started off polite but after placing our order he became lackadaisical. He never brought us our water & I was dehydrated, a manager had to accommodate us. The waiter took orders of ppl who sat next to us & they even got their food 1st. So, idk ‍ what was up with that? We had to ask for our food a couple of times b4 it came. Then we had to ask for silverware to eat. We were nice to him so we didn't understand why he was so cold 2 us. Maybe, his boss said he had to work late we don't know, but never take that out on the customer. He never asked us if we needed anything else, but get this he asked the ppl who came after us if they were good . Go figure! We didn't order drinks bc we don't drink. So, idk ‍ if he's getting commission in pushing drinks bc he attitude did appear after we said we'll take water & a ginger ale. Wow! Hospitality & courtesy is not really here if ur looking to have a pleasant night out. The floors, could be swept more often after customers leave, ppl were sat @ tables with crumbs & cornbread beneath the tables. We sat at an open space table near the kitchen & waiters would bump me & never turn to say excuse me or sorry. My friend noticed & was about to say something but I said it was ok bc I was never coming no there. The last time, I was @ this location was like 7 yrs ago & now I remember why? I go to Applebees across the street bc the waiters & staff is so much friendlier. The food was ok but it's not worth my money when I can get treated better somewhere else. So, no I don't recommend this particular BBQ's bc the hospitality sucks.

This place is okay. We come here as a tradition after we see the Christmas tree with our family. We were greeted when we came in. They gave us a number to store our stroller. We were seated quick. Waiter was good in the beginning but at the end we couldn't find him to pay which was annoying because we were with kids. Food was okay. Tried the angry shrimp and it just didn't taste good. Drenched in sauce but lacked flavor. The hot wings are tasty. The sticky wings were too. Tried the piña colada was good too especially with the extra shot. Tried some of my son's Mac and cheese and it was okay. It's always packed there but we were sat somewhere it wasn't too crowded which was great especially with kids.

Pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed Dallas BBQ. This location is huge and seats many people at once. We were a large party, served quick. I ordered the turkey chili and 5 count sticky wings. I could have done with just the cup of chili. Their portions are huge. The chili was flavorful and paired great with their cornbread. I wish it was a bit hotter when it arrived to the table, but that's the only thing. The sticky wings are massive. 5 is plenty for one or to even share. Prepare to actually be sticky as it does get messy.

Actually one of the worst services I've had. We left dinner in a worse mood than when we arrived. I'm confused because I don't think there was any malice intent with any of the staff, in fact they apologized whenever something went wrong. But the service was genuinely so bad. -------- SERVICE (skip to bottom for food and tldr-- food was amazing) A server dropped and shattered a soda glass near our table and it got on my bag and my cousin's coat. Stained my bag and nothing was done about it until I made a manager aware after dinner and he rubbed it with a hand wipe, gave it to me half way, and told me it would go away after some more rubbing? They FORGOT half of our dishes, including appetizer and made us wait TWENTY minutes for half of our food. So we ate half our order and it wasn't until we asked our waitress twice and her manager got involved that we got our onion loaf and wings. Really annoying to have a twenty minute break in the middle of dinner. The table right behind us came in after us and still got their food first (also wings, so it wasn't like their food took shorter to make.) Our food came out after the manager checked the back for us. Very poor service. Plates with food still on it were cleared :((( like they would stack a dirty plate on top of what was an unfinished plate (a few fries or some macaroni but still, I was going to eat that) before we could protest. We asked for bbq sauce and for whatever reason, our waitress brought us soy sauce? We ordered ribs and sticky wings and I'm confused why this happened. Water was not refilled and we were not asked if we needed anything else unless we actively waved down our waitress as the other waitresses insisted only the one assigned to our table could address us. No compensation for any of these faux paus. The incompetence was absurd. -------------------------- NOW THE FOOD!!!!! Okay, the food is so good. Like, if service didn't screw up so badly, I'd give it a strong 4.5 stars and I will probably still come back (but not with company) because I like their sticky wings and don't mind crappy service if I'm alone/not trying to show other people a good time. Get the sticky wings. Every time, I think I want to explore and get the Hennessy bbq or hot wings. And every time I am wrong. Don't waste your time with any other wing flavor -- only sticky wings. Each wing is the size of like 2-3 regular hot wings at other stores. They're huge, plan accordingly. I get full from 2. SAVE AND DIP EVERYTHING IN THAT HOLY GRAIL STICKY SAUCE. Mac and cheese with bacon: GET IT! Possibly one of the best Mac and cheeses I've had in my life??? I don't usually like Mac and cheese but this one was straight up my ally. Seafood platter was good too, the fried fish was yummy. Sticky ribs were good, a lil drier but fine if you dip it in more sauce. Onion loaf is fine, fried onions -- they're good but you've probably had it before. I got a 20 oz virgin strawberry daiquiri and tried the tangerine frozen mocktail. Honestly, just get a Diet Coke or sprite. The carbonated fountain sodas pair soooo well with the heavier food. Beer would be good too. The strawberry daiquiri was good (think frozen strawberry lemonade) but too sweet. ---------- Overall amazing, no-fluff, affordable American food (maybe one of my top?), but the worst service ever haha -- they mean well?? but get ready to speak up and point out that they literally forgot half your order, are taking away plates with food still on them, and spilling drinks on your stuff -- but gratuity included in price wtf.

4 stars for food- 2.5 stars for seating and disorganization I haven't been here since I was 17 (I'm 29 now) and the sticky wings have been engraved in my memory I had to go back. They tasted just how I remember and they were absolutely delicious. I understand this place is very popular but there needs to be some order in seating. The staff walk around with walkie talkies are completely unorganized and there needs to be a better way to coordinate seating for guests. We were told to go upstairs and when we did there was no one immediately available to even tell us where we shouldn't stand to be out of the way of people. Once you go upstairs there's confusion because the women's restroom is to the right and so is the additional line to be seated. The women's rest room line is backed all the way to guest tables and that needs to be addressed.

Visiting New York and was told I had to come here... Rating a 3 based on my food. Which was sticky tenders, cornbread and a pina colada with an extra shot. However the rest of my party didn't like their food. The food was bland was the biggest complaint. I will say if you are coming here definitely make sure you put in a reservation as the line is out the door however my personal experience was it wouldn't be worth a long wait. Also we got water and it did not taste good. They need to use filtered water or better filtered water

The food was okay! The reason for the low rating is due to the lack of willingness to accommodate their customers! My husband and I decided to give this place a try and ordered 3 full meals as well as drinks and appetizers between just the two of us. We were sat at a small table for two but once the food started to arrive we quickly realized that we'd had run out of space at our table. We came on a day & time where the restaurant was not too busy and there were SEVERAL empty tables including the ones on both sides of ours! We politely asked our server and the manager if we could have one of the empty tables on either side of ours moved closer to allow us space to eat and they REFUSED assist or accommodate us in anyway! I didn't even get to eat my food in the restaurant because our table was over full and they were unwilling to accommodate! I absolutely won't be coming back but to each his own ‍

First Time visiting and I can't wait to go back. Customer Service- Our waiter was awesome. Super friendly, and helpful. Our food came out fast & hot. Everything was super hot, fresh, and delicious. The sticky flavor I'd never had before and when I tasted it, it was like a party instantly invaded my mouth. OMG!!! Margarita-Woooooooweeeee this was deliciously flavorful and packed with just the right amount of tequila. No other words are needed, if you visit order one or two. Ambiance- Right in the heart of Times Square and a tourist favorite to view. Absolutely no parking, it is NY

Dallas BBQ is a staple restaurant. However, I did not enjoy this location. We did not have a great server. He was not attentive. He did not have good people skills. We misses out on the customer service experience Dallas BBQ is known for. The food was fresh. I wish it had been a better experience.

Omg!!!! So this place is not only nostalgic for me but my now young adults look forward to coming here whenever we're in NYC. Blue Bull me please, pass me some wings and let me ppl watch in peace. I absolutely love visiting here for many reasons but the way BBQ's brings me back to my early 20's is epic. I wish they would bring a franchise out to Metro Atlanta. Until the the next time

Honestly thought it would be non-fried food, but the meats were very thin and had very thick batter. Felt like I was eating oil most of the time... Service was hands off and ambiance wasn't the best

When in doubt on a hot muggy night, go to Dallas Bbqs and get yourself a frozen drink, you could never go wrong especially after dining at a restaurant that did not satisfy you lol. I got my favorite, the Hennessey Colada and my best friend got the Tsunami and it ended our night perfectly. We will always go back even if it's just for the frozen drinks. Atmosphere is cool and chill and the service was a little slow but I would wait a few minutes longer for my frozen drink. :) Cheers

Have been watching for the new Secaucus location to open because I'm in the attached hotel 1 week every month for work. Had dinner there last night. Service was EXCELLENT (although I prefer to eat at a bar instead of a table when eating alone.... wish it had a bar) Food on the other hand was a disappointment. There's nothing BBQ about the place except the really sweet honey BBQ sauce. I had 1/4 chicken and Baby back ribs combo. Chicken was roasted (not smoked like an actual BBQ, with a TON of sauce) Baby backs were dry and over cooked with that same really sweet sauce. Even the cornbread was REALLY dry. This is going to be hard to say because it's also not BBQ, but Chilis makes better ribs, and their sauce doesn't taste like a honey based candy bar. I'll likely try it again next month because of the service. I'll order something else, because that's not BBQ (no smell of a smoker outside or inside either) I'll mention again, great job on hiring the young man who waited on me. very attentive and professional.

Meh, overrated. My friend went on and on about Hennessy wings and how they are soooo delicious, so of course I need to try for myself, right?? Here goes: The wings are huge, not your normal chicken wings. My friend and I ordered the 10 pieces of Hennessy wings, angry shrimp, and fries. The angry shrimp were not a hit, nice size, but flavor no. Either way, this was way too much... we should have done the six piece and even that would be a task to finish. The Hennessy sauce is good, but something is missing... maybe a little more sweet and a dash of spicy?? I don't know, but the pieces of meat are so large, it honestly grossed me out a bit especially as I look at the wall with the huge bison grazing the field! Maybe this is an opportunity to offer 'mighty bison wings' and standard mini wings... the smaller more normal version of wings. This would make a lot of difference for someone like me. The restaurant: The location is upbeat, bright, good music and clearly folks are fans or want to check this place out! The drink menu looks fun, I didn't drink, but my friend did and she enjoyed. Gary was our server, he was nice and mostly attentive considering how busy it was. Overall, this seems to be a fun spot, just have to find something on the menu that tastes amazing and leaves me wanting more versus repelled.

The food here is good, lots of selection. I think the prices are very good for it being in Manhattan and more precisely Times Square. The service is hectic but good considering that this place is insanely busy . It's a somewhat touristy place with many tourist but lots of native New Yorkers also .

I was told the first thing we had to do upon arriving to NYC is go straight to BBQ's in Times Square for cocktails lol and that's what we proceeded to do. I can't leave a review for the food simply because I didn't try anything this time around. But I can say that the cocktails are made to perfection. The margarita that I had was strong but flavorful and my friend enjoyed all 32oz (which apparently is one of their new sized drinks) of the Hennycolada. I will admit I'm not normally a pina colada girl, but this one was tasty. I can see why it was suggested that the first stop was cocktails at BBQ's.

Did a pick up. Brisket sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. Either were good. Brisket was more tough than used to. Should he a bit more moist and tender. Was good but not great. Baked potato was good. Served with sour cream.

We were part of a group and immediately seated in a large separate area upstairs, the service was very prompt. This is a bustling restaurant, and I am very perplexed as to why. Maybe when they serve food for groups, it is totally different than those ordering from the main menu. I can say that the restaurant, considering there were so many people inside was organized and clean. Generally, this is a type of place that would have food or napkins on the floor because of volume and so many children. I didn't see it. A positive! As for the food when it arrives it was room temperature not hot or warm. The chicken was very dry. The cornbread was fairly decent, but I wasn't impressed by the meal at all, the ribs I packed up and took them home. I still haven't tried them, no rush. For dessert they gave us old freezer burned ice cream sandwiches. Would I return? NOPE hard pass!

We got a hankering for meat. Large portions of bbq smoked beef and pork. How convenient there's a bbq joint within a short walk of the hotel. My uncle warned us of the huge portions. He was right. What I don't understand is where they get these great big chicken wings. They were ginormous! The food here is decent. Nothing spectacular, which is fine. I don't think the meat is smoked. But they never said it was. I thought the Turkey chili was their best effort. I'm a big Turkey chili fan and this is one of the better ones. Comes with sour cream, cheese and cool ranch Doritos. I'm happy! The Hennessy wings were a solid choice as was the BBQ Brisket Burger. My cousin Lou is sold on their Hennessy Burger. The prices were reasonable and all the people were great. The room itself was like an assembly line of dinner tables. Not much atmosphere, bland, kind of a "choke and run" feel. Not a big thing with me. I was focused on the beef. If we ever get back here, I want a stab at the "New" Sticky Ribs. Sounds intriguing. 01/24

Visited on 12/7 at about 10pm. My waitress was Tanisha. Her service was HORRIBLE. she took forever to come take our orders, forever to bring the drinks, and FOREVER TO BRING THE FOOD. When it finally came out it was freezing cold. Service is bad because the tips are already factored in the bill so they figure they don't have to work hard for the tip. Tanisha never checked in on our table, and you can tell she didn't wanna be at work. Someone needs to do an undercover boss on her or an audit of her behavior. It's unacceptable.

We visited the city a few days before Christmas. I wanted to see and take photos of the Christmas decorations. We had come quite a ways, and we were hungry. We couldn't find many cheap places or anywhere we wanted to eat, until we found this wonderful restaurant. We had to check it out because we've lived in Texas and Arkansas, and we've visited Dallas many times. We were surprised how big it is inside (two stories), and how they got us a table pretty quickly. The service was really impressive. Everything we ordered came very quickly. The menu was huge, and they had many GF and DF choices. I ordered the BBQ ribs. Both of us loved what we ordered. It was really good, and the portions were large. They had wonderful, large drinks, too. I also loved taking photos of all of the holiday decorations.

If you want to go somewhere where you can drink and get lit this is it !!! I haven't drank in awhile and when I tell you that drink turned me every way but loose the second you get there your seated right away There was no long wait ! The sticky wings taste like burnt sugar and it has no flavor !!! The wings was tossed in plain batter like absolutely NO SEASONING...the cornbread was dry The only reason I gave them 4 stars was because that drink was a hit yall !!! Go get yall one ‼‼‼‼

A convenient 12 minute walk from Penn Station, Dallas BBQ's is always a good time! This NY staple is a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of Times Sqaure, and the food and drink prices are probably the most affordable in the city for the amount of food you get. If you're looking for a good full sized fried chicken wing, this is the place. The chicken is fried very well, and can be served with your choice of ranch, blue cheese or Dallas BBQ's signature sauces on the side, the sweet honey flavored sauce is amazing! Order the pineapple crush for a nice treat, the frozen cocktails are made just right. Our waiter, Victor Andres, was very nice and attentive-- our meals came out hot, in a timely manner, and he checked in on the table about 3 times throughout our visit. An order of 10 wings (can definitely be shared), fried shrimp, and regular size frozen cocktail will run you about $45. This location has a waiting area downstairs, with the main dining area and restrooms upstairs. Elevator and escalator service available. There are plenty of tables for two, that can be combined for extended seating and booths available for parties of 8+. Dress is casual, great to stop by before of after a show at the nearby Lyric Theatre. Enjoy friends!

I have not been here in years but decided to stop in. We were sat immediately but it took forever for our server Jamil to come to our table. Once he did he took our orders but we felt rushed ordering, The sticky wings were as good as I remembered. I ordered the kiwi margarita but it tasted more like apple. Next time I am in the area I would probably return for the wings.

The server actually getting back to you. We waited an hour just for our check. Also we didn't get our refill till we were done with our food.

Pina colada is so good and huge! Ribs are a little tough, and yellow rice is alright, but overall, it's pretty affordable. The place is huge too.

Worst service! Came with reservations, checked in, then they gave our reservations to another group, and said we had to wait even though we showed them our reservation number and the other group had a later one, said we just had to wait because they already sat them... we have a group of 66 people, no sort of compensation or apologies. Don't come here! We almost missed our next event because of this place and the lack of service.

Dallas BBQ, especially Times Square, is a staple. The food is what you expect. I us d to get the chili, but now they only serve Turkey chili. I enjoy the center cut cornbread, although today it was hard on the bottom, but still so delicious. I LOVE the crispy wings without any sauces. Today, for the first time, I tried tempura broccoli. I'M TELLING YOU: don't leave here without ordering it. It is a showstopper. The drinks are great. Today I had to flag down the waiter EVERY SINGLE TIME. A manager finally came & took my payment. Service r was abysmal yesterday; I have never experienced this, even when the restaurant was chock full. It can be noisy, but not so much that you can't converse with your table mates. Of course, I will return and hope for the usual great service.

I used to enjoy eating at Dallas BBQ when I lived in NYC. So naturally, when I visited the city recently with my family, we came here for a meal (or two). Note: the portion sizes here are HUGE!!! Make sure you have a fridge in your hotel (if you're visiting, like we were) to store your leftovers. Surprisingly, however, the prices were not bad considering the large portions and their location in Times Square. Despite the restaurant being very large and busy, there was no wait time for us to be seated and served. Their menu features Southern offerings like mac and cheese, cornbread, wings, ribs, etc. We started with a gigantic virgin pina colada for the kids and parents to share. We also tried the sticky wings (mutant size wings, VERY sticky and delicious), half chicken with crispy shrimp (good), vegetable tempura (needed dipping sauces), onion tower (very bland), cornbread (tasty), corn bread (very good), burger (nothing special). Convenient location. Fun ambiance. Great service.

Came by with a party of 12. Right in the middle of Times Square. Seated about 10mins as it was around 2-3pm in the afternoon. I did like how they had a stroller check which was super cool. We sat on the Third floor which has about 10-15 tables. Service was good. Drinks were good. We ordered the sticky wings and it's nothing to brag about. Not a big fan of them. My cousin ordered the salmon and she said it was good. Kids menu is only two options. Corn bread was delish. Drinks were the highlight here. Prices are affordable. This location is great for big groups.

We visited Dallas BBQ for the very first time, yesterday. The food was delicious and we were given a very generous portion. The server was amazingly kind and professional. The atmosphere was very chill. Lighting was a tad bit dimmed, but in a very pleasant way. We will be back!

The food overall is average, but it truly is a decent experience what you pay. I will come back again and again when I'm in the area. GLOWS: -Service is fast, even when crowded -I like the rotisserie chicken meal when I'm looking for something lighter to eat -They have fun and festive drinks GROWS: -It can get so busy that there might be some confusion, but staff is helpful in sorting everything out. -The bathrooms need TLC on a rotation with the amount of people in and out of the space.
