The staff was very attentive at all times and we were warmly welcomed. Typical American food with barbecue ribs, and the margarita was delicious. Although they aren't exclusively gluten-free, they understand the topic and can offer menu options to accommodate.

Absolutely fantastic BBQ experience right in the heart of Manhattan! From the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations. The pulled pork was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, while the ribs were perfectly cooked - juicy, smoky, and falling right off the bone. The sweet potato tots were a standout side dish: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely addictive. To top it all off, the lemonade was refreshing and perfectly balanced - not overly sweet like so many restaurant lemonades tend to be. What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service. Our waiter was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the menu in detail, answer all of our questions, and carefully point out the gluten-free options, which was greatly appreciated. If you're looking for outstanding BBQ in Manhattan with great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is definitely worth a visit. We will absolutely be coming back!

I've been going here consistently for 30 years. Service has slipped a touch (like it has everywhere) but food still great. Next time I go, I will make sure that I ask ahead of time for the same amount of meat on my gluten free bun that they would put on a normal bun.
