Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

This is my first time going with my husband, and I am absolutely blown away! He said this was great food, but I didn't expect how great. The menu has a lot of different items (highly recommend the ribs), the mixed drinks are a good ratio, and the service is top notch. I was welcomed as soon as I came in the front door and that level of hospitality continued through the whole meal.

I went to dinosaur about a month and a half ago with a friend. That was the first time in almost 6 months that I went. But on both times that I went the food was excellent. I definitely recommend the pork ribs. I've been to all the other rib joints in town that's the only one that's got the true essence of what a rib is supposed to be. I was glad when dinosaur came from Syracuse to Rochester. Years ago I used to go to Syracuse to go to dinosaur BBQ. Happy to have One in my own backyard now, I'll go whenever I have the chance. If you want good barbecue at a decent price, go to dinosaur BBQ in the city.

I have been hearing about this place for about 6 years. Today I was finally able to make it in and see what the hype was about. Though I only had an order of Mac and Cheese the service was stupendous. Everyone from the servers to bartenders were amazing. Especially Danielle she was attentive and made the best drinks. Don’t hesitate go. You won’t be disappointed.

Overall, very good. Not best in the world BBQ, but so far, best we've had in Rochester area.

Family style allows everyone to share different dishes.
Fall off the bone ribs.
Fork cut-able brisket.
Chicken was pretty good, but not awesome. Good fries and beans. Corn bread was a little dry.

Every time I come to visit my best friend in Rochester, we come here on my first night because it’s THAT GOOD. I think about it a lot when I’m hungry. I really love the sampler platter where you get 3 different items because it’s just the right amount to be able to get a satisfying portion of everything unlike some platters where it feels like you have one bite of things. The brisket is probably my favorite. This is seriously some great barbecue! And the staff is amazing too. I look forward to coming back soon.
