Locally owned and a mainstay for over two decades, Limp Lizard Bar & Grill is frequently praised by Syracuse.com and CNY Central for its laid-back vibe and generous portions. The menu features a wide range of smoked meats—think brisket, ribs, and chicken—plus inventive specials and a selection of local beers. The outdoor seating and live music events reflect its community-first spirit, making it a favorite among locals seeking classic BBQ without pretension.
Called in an order for pickup. I ordered the burrito with brisket and added sour cream and guacamole. The sides, collard greens and beans with rice were tasty. The food was ready quickly, hot and delicious. The staff were pleasant and professional. If I'd had the time that day, I'd have stayed to hang out at the bar or sat down at one of their nice tables to eat. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. If you haven't tried them out, do yourself a favor and make the trip, I think you'll be glad you did.

Amazing! From the delicious BBQ aroma when we walked in the door, to the moment we left, I was impressed.
Our server was attentive (even though she was quite busy), the portions were generous, and our meals were delicious. Two of us had catfish strips with 2 sides, and the others had BBQ poutine, the Big Nasty, and 2 kids meals.
Saving over 3% by paying cash is a nice perk too.
I highly recommend this restaurant!

I got catering for 125 people and it was absolutely perfect. They had everything set up perfectly on time and were extremely professional and kind. Everyone was talking about how good the food was and we had so much leftovers to share. Very generous portions. I will definitely use them again for catering in the future.

Always a great experience eating here. Buffalo wrap was 10/10, fresh batch of fries, and our server Xavier took great care of us. Our waters were never empty, he brought our food out all at once, and we never waited too long for him to come back to our table. We’ll be back!

Got Nashville chicken which was really good but bbq was pretty ordinary. I was told it's better than dinosaur bbq and I just didn't see the hype in it. Brisket, pulled pork and chicken seems like the same thing you can get everywhere so it wasn't anything to rave about. One flavor of sauce at the table instead of different varieties. Had high hopes. I'll try again another time maybe. Kids burger was pretty small vs size of bun. We were some of the first ones there for lunch so maybe that's why, but I figured it would be better

We all absolutely loved the fries. Very solid macaroni and cheese! Loved my burger, I wish I chose American cheese rather than cheddar but it was still great. SUPER nice staff.

Stopped after the zoo, it wasn't bad but not great. Ribs were okay but very sweet. Wife got Nashville hot chicken sandwich but was very wet and also sweet (think was a sweet buffalo sandwich or something maybe?). Cornbread was really good.
