"When Morgan’s Brooklyn Barbecue burned down a few years ago, my feeling was that it was already slipping in the quality of its smoked meat. But now it’s back with a bang. The substantial, black-pepper-rubbed pork ribs are better than before, the footlong jalapeno sausage is spicy and grainy enough for anyone’s taste, and the brisket is tasty — even though it’s sliced with the grain contrary to the usual practice. The roadhouse ambiance feels just right." - Robert Sietsema
"If you don’t have the time or patience to wait in line at Hometown, check out Morgan’s in Prospect Heights. This place opened in 2013, and it’s still making great Texas-style barbecue. The fatty brisket is tender and moist, and their pork ribs come covered in a thick, salty bark with a smoky flavor. There’s a big dining room, but beeline to their patio on a nice day. It's one of the most pleasant places to sit outside in the area." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren, will hartman
"Great BBQ and great outdoor space aren’t things NYC has in great abundance, so you should take advantage when they’re both available at the same time. You can do exactly that by heading to Morgan’s BBQ in Prospect Heights. Get some brisket, or try their new wasabi wings, until 10:30pm during the week and 11pm on weekends." - nikko duren
"Something about spending a day outside just makes you want barbecue. Morgan’s is by far your best option for it around Prospect Park. And their big front porch means you don’t have to sacrifice being outdoors to indulge in the glory of the meats." - katherine lewin
"The Holy Trinity may or may not mean something to you. But at Morgan’s, this sacred phrase refers to brisket, pork ribs, and smoked sausage - three legends we can all believe in. And since this Prospect Heights spot makes some great Texas-style barbecue, you should make it your mission to try them all.
