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 Edited May 1, 2019 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Buffalo doesnt really have a lot of great BBQ spots. The best probably comes out of my smoker I would say, the most dependable and best atmosphere is Dinosaur BBQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 @BringBackFergy has a special place that he likes to keep to himself, it’s in the Albany area. Good luck getting him to divulge the name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) 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.

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) 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.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) 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. https://m.facebook.com/Mamas-Smokin-BBQ-1676317872595865/ Ive heard this place in Hinsdale is good but ive never been. https://www.jdssmokingrillnbar.com Edited May 3, 2019 by Buffalo Barbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGee Return TD Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Suzy Q's or Fat Bob's Freddie J's is also pretty good but they (he?) don't serve as much BBQ as they used to... still have ribs, though, that are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the french fries smothered in pulled pork we had at the Redbirds game counted as our veggies for that week. Or maybe the grain alcohol slushies on Beale? Ended our night with those, had to “walk it off” in the hotel room because I sure couldn’t lay down for a while lol.

I told him there was a thread in this group, and everything listed was pretty much the same ole-same ole that we already enjoy, none of which were "on the way home". Then I saw your link! I read off the menu from this place, so he decided to stop. He got a brisket sandwich, I got a fried bologna (haven't had one in years!) The chips that came with my sandwich appeared homemade, my sandwich itself seemed grilled. I liked it! He wasn't as thrilled with the brisket. I took a small taste and one thing I will say, it tasted like there was plenty of liquid smoke used in the preparation. Hubby said that they close most days at 2 pm, so it is a breakfast/lunch place. They are open late two days a week. It is cheap! Would we go again? No. I'd send him over to The Yelling Goat for a pick-up instead. But it is always interesting to try new places.

I took my wife to a farmers market this morning, along with our wonderful dog....and my son’s wild puppy, but I digress. We arrived to learn there was a weekend event taking over the square, with arts, crafts, bouncy houses, and a lovely smelling row of food tents. Literally (that was for you @plenzmd1) the first thing I saw and smelled was a guy flipping a full slab of ribs....one of many! We took a walk around the square, the puppy was impossible and my wife had to get to a hair appointment. It’s been about 10 hours now, and I’m still craving the ribs I saw but did not taste. I’m not sure if I’ve been this let down since high school! Different, but kinda the same..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
