Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

My husband first visited Dinosaur BBQ in February 2024 and I haven't stopped hearing about it since. So we decided since we were in the area that we would stop for lunch and he was right -- the food was delicious!! I had Brisket & pulled pork with collards, sweet potatoes, and mac n cheese. Everything was great. Mac n cheese was not what I expected but it wasn't bad. My husband had the same thing but he also had pork belly (which I tried and SO YUMMY), and instead of sweet potatoes he had BBQ beans which was also delicious. Our daughter was basic and had chicken fingers with French fries and mac n cheese. She is 11 and was happy but didn't like the mac n cheese so that went to Daddy. Our waitress was kind and always on it with drinks (probably the best Arnold Palmer I've ever had) and the atmosphere was comfortable. We sat out on the terrace by the river -- ohh and the bill was so affordable. I was shocked it was less than $100 for 3 of us to eat!! Overall we would recommend!!

We decided to go here for dinner on a Saturday evening and it was a 45min wait for our party of 2. We were seated at a nice booth by the back windows overlooking the Hudson River. This is a large bustling restaurant. They were quite busy but our waitress took great care of us. Food took awhile to come out. We ordered the Combo meal with 3 choices ( 2 ribs pork bbq, jalapeno beef brisket, and cold ¼ shrimp boil). We picked mashed potatoes and Cole slaw for the sides. The ribs were really good but the beed brisket we got was half full of fat. The shrimp was good. It was enough food for 2 people. We also ordered the large fried green tomatoes appetizer. I think we could have gotten away with the half order.

Awesome! Finally got to try Dinosaur BBQ. I had previously tried to get in at the Syracuse location for my birthday with friends, however, there were no tables left and more than 2 hour wait on a Friday. This time around, on a Wednesday evening in Troy, I got lucky. I arrived slightly after 5:00 and found parking with no problems, was greeted by a friendly host staff and was seated instantly at a table overlooking the river. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of stewed greens and a side of Harlem potato salad. The pulled pork was perfect, not too dry and drizzled in their house BBQ sauce. The greens were more than flavorful and the potato salad was some of the best I have had. The restaurant had a warm, low-key atmosphere and definitely started to get busy just before 6:00. I would definitely recommend and I know I will be back!

The ribs were the star of the show, the wings were excellent. The sides were eh. We had combo plates, and the meats- ribs, chicken, brisket and pulled pork were done well. The Mac & cheese, potato salad, mashed sweet potatoes and cornbread were just ok.

Dino BBQ simply never misses. This location is beautiful- right on the Hudson river with a huge outdoor seating area. I got the three sliders and they were all delicious. Service was great and the food came out very quick

Food is absolutely delicious, service is extremely efficient with delightful attentive staff. Music is perfect as well as the volume. Deserts are fabulous, the best is the Dino cheesecake

Amazing food, fast service, and sizable portions. Definitely go for the meat combos and sample a variety of their goods. Didn't care much for the greens as they were a bit sour for my preference but their other sides are amazing. Would go out of my way again to visit next time!

Delicious barbecue offerings. The service was excellent. It was a casual place that appeared to be a local favorite. We were just visiting from out of state and it was our first visit. I would definitely go back because it was a winning combination of great food, service and atmosphere, especially if you like ribs and barbecue options.
