Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

Harlem & Upper Manhattan


Jocks, hipsters, moms and pops: everyone dives into this honky-tonk rib bar for a rockin’ feed. Get messy with dry-rubbed, slow-pit-smoked ribs, slabs of juicy steak and succulent burgers, or watch your waistline with the lightly seasoned grilled-chicken options. The (very) few vegetarian choices include a fantastic version of Creole-spiced deviled eggs.
