Oh i agree. Imo, for its size, Buffalo is the best food city in the country.  BBQ isn’t its strength though.

Definitely not it’s strength  but you can find some joints

 

i finally went to smokin little diner on transit... it was pretty good... definitely not Fat Bobs

BBQ ???    You aint in the South !!!   You go out for Wings and Beef on Weck!!!!    lol  

 

Sorry  I can't help you there

 

Try Yelp or some such 

Fair enough, then ice hockey shouldn't be played and basterdized BELOW the Mason-Dixon Line.

 

Yeah... Kansas City is in the "South."

 

Just to refresh Your geographical memory.  Guess which bad boy team falls below here:

I just went to Dinosaur for the first time in Rochester and thought the ribs were pretty legit.  

 

I think it all depends on the level you have been spoiled at.  I lived in KC for a year, and yeah - I just went and bought my own smoker and learned how to do it myself (Denver BBQ is not great either)

This thread is depressing!! There’s some great food in Buffalo but not BBQ. With that being said New Orleans was the exact same way a decade ago and now there are some great spots!! One good one opens and it spawns a bunch more.

Fat Bob's downtown (Allentown) is great.  But even better is One-eyed Jack's - on Transit near Robinson Rd in Lockport.

Had one eye jacks. Solid.

One-Eyed Jack's is excellent. In addition to take-out, we will go in and buy trays for various functions, and we will buy an extra quart of sauce to have in the fridge. 
 

Sticky Face - Oliver St, North Tonawanda, the ends... so bad for you, yet so very, very good.


Suzy-Qs - my niece worked there for years. LOL oh, the stories. SMH (nothing to do with the cleanliness of the kitchen, just how the place was run)

I was going to say Kentucky Greg's then saw this.  I hadn't been there in over two years.  Really disappointed to hear they're gone.

I'm getting Kentucky Greg's on Saturday..I prefer take out/delivery,anyway.

Fat Bob's was one of the worst places ive ever been too. Is the only place i didnt take the leftovers home.

 

I live in the southern tier as well and Mama's Smokin BBQ in Shongo is great. The things they smoke are awesome but regular food not so much. If want a burger dont go but if you want a smoked brisket Philly then come on over. They burned down last fall but they are rebuilding as we speak , can't wait !

 

Across the street from them is a dive bar called Just One More is surprisingly pretty good also. They make a killer Philly as well, just not a BBQ place.

I don't live in Buffalo, but I'm within a reasonable driving distance coming from the Southern Tier. I love a good BBQ -not so concerned about price.

Recently, a guy who works for me went to visit his son at college in the area. He came back singing the praises for Smokey Bones. I looked at the reviews online and it got a 4.0 not bad.

 

I really want to hear from some of the experts on here. What is your favorite place? Best Ribs? Pulled Pork? etc.

 

Smoky Bones is a chain that was started by Darden Restaurants (Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc.) and then sold to a private equity firm.  I’ve never eaten at one, nor would I except in extreme circumstances.

 

The best BBQ in Buffalo was probably Kentucky Gregs, but the owners are semi-retired and only do catering now.  I liked Fat Bobs the one time I ate there years ago and know a lot of people love it.  One Eyed Jacks is good, but not great in my opinion.  Smoke On The Water in North Tonawanda is well liked.  I only ate there once and thought it was good, but not special at all.  I’ll go back again in the summer when I can sit outside and get a bigger selection before I make my final decision about it.  I’d defer to others on it.  I do like Brick Yard BBQ quite a bit, but it's way up in Lewiston. 

 

Avoid Sticky Face, also in NT, at all costs. The food was horrible.  I have not eaten at Dinosaur so I can’t speak to that.  I do love great BBQ and I make it at home regularly - especially in the non-winter months.  Looking forward to firing up my smoker soon.

I haven’t been there in 5 years, but all my previous visits to Fat Bobs were very underwhelming. ?
