Yankee BBQ, Simple Craft BBQ

We just tried Yankee BBQ for the first time. We got takeout meals that had pulled pork sandwiches (juicy, delicious, generous portions), slaw, and cheesy potatoes (amazing- the highlight of the meal in my opinion). The food was not only good but it was very reasonably priced. We will for sure be back.

Great food all around. The beef brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork and hot link sausage were outstanding. Clearly made by barbecue pros. The sides were all solid, with the cheesy potatoes especially good - potatoes were done just right and the cheesy sauce was not greasy at all. Not a huge fan of the somewhat sweet BBQ sauce served on the side, but it's not needed, all the meats were moist and flavorful. The pickles, pickled onions and pickled jalapeños were awesome as well. Meats are priced by weight, so you can get as much or as little as you want. No offense to some of the other solid BBQ places in Western New York that have been around for years, but newcomer Yankee is on another level.

As some who doesn't normally seek out BBQ, this place is absolutely amazing and well worth the visit. Food here focuses on the smoking process and seasonings more than it does sauces and I think it lends to a delicious flavor that isn't masked by additional things. Food is served by the half pound so you can customize exactly what you want to eat. I highly recommend the brisket, and the hot links (they are actually hot!). Their Smoked Mac & Cheese is delicious too. A hidden gem of a BBQ restaurant, can't wait to come back again!

Wow, wow, wow. First, let me tell ya about the smells from the parking lot...outstanding, only better as you enter. Great quality meats and sides, all prepared to perfection. We had ribs and brisket, all with perfect bark, juicy, deliciously tender...sides were coleslaw, mac n cheese, and beans. Each has a special spin on each and delicious. The bbq sauce is a hybrid , almost directly between traditional sweet and acidic=vinegar...again delicious. This is a must go to restaurant. Also, extremely reasonable, especially for the quality!!!

Words can't even describe how amazing the ribs and brisket are!!!! 5 stars! I can't wait to go back!
