The best brisket in NYC. So tender and juicy (even the elan part). The portion was huge, much more than what I expected. Had their weekend-only pastrami sandwich before. It was also delicious . The mustard spread was a bit too salty though, but the meat part was 9/10!

The Mac and cheese was good but the actual BBQ was alright. They don’t have a variety of sauces and it is bit expensive for the portion you get. However the workers were very kind and let us order a few minutes before closing.

I went here for a team lunch. It was about 15 people and Hometown was very accommodating. Their food is great if you like barbecue. I personally got the chicken tacos and it was good. Also love their 2 sauces – sticky and hot&sweet. Their Mac and cheese and corn bread is a must!

We order beef rib, brisket and pastrami bacon. And Mac and cheese side. The meat was really tender and juicy. The only con is the temperature of the meat , a bit cold. The service was friendly and the ambient is ok.

Loved it! I’m only not giving it 5 stars because the potato salad was not good and i was craving that & the seating was so uncomfortable to me for some reason Otherwise, I highly recommend the brisket sandwich and mac&cheese!! The cauliflower bites and oaxacan chicken was also really good.

Got the brisket sandwich, very spicy but the meat was very moist. Service was slow.

I went for dinner with my date l, we chose this location because of the lines in Red Hook. It was a good decision. The lines are shorter and feel faster here.

Waited 10+ minutes while employee was chit chatting and laughing and making jokes with a co worker while I’m waiting for ONE corn bread. Even worse, she continue to talk and not assist the customer in front of me and wasted more time when more employees came in. If you like to sleep with your whole entire co worker do that on your own time. Don’t waste my time or the company time. Absolutely disgusting. Shes a short hispanic worker.

This place has some damn good bbq. We got the pastrami and it was just as good as what you’d find at Katz. Mac and cheese is another dish usually scrutinize because it’s so easy to get wrong and taste bland but here it was pretty tasty. I did have some issue with the speed of service at this location but I brought it up to the team and they seemed very receptive to my feedback. Can’t wait to visit this location again.
