Mark from Syracuse has offered up a spirited defense of Dinosaur BBQ. By the way, for those who missed it, I revised my initial thumbs down on the place. The ‘cue I had there during a second visit was excellent.

Ribs

Mark says Dinosaur’s Syracuse joint was voted the best BBQ in America. What do you think of Dinosaur’s grub?

I am from Syracuse, N.Y. which also has a Dinosaur BBQ. I don’t know about the Harlem location but the Syracuse restaurant offers some of the best BBQ in the country. I’ve met numerous people from the south who come to Dinosaur in Syracuse because “it’s better than anything we can find in the south”. The original founders of Dinosaur are a husband and wife….he’s from the south and she’s from Cuba. A perfect match for BBQ. I’ve driven by there many nights and there’s smoke billowing from the chimneys as ribs, chicken and pork are slow-roasted through the night. Sorry the Harlem location sucks but the Syracuse location was voted Best Bar-B-Que in America. I’ve lived in several southern states and have yet to find any BBQ as good as Dinosaur’s!
