Hometown BBQ - Buy Reservations

Came around 1pm on a Friday and the restaurant was almost empty. I definitely think it's worth trying if you're in the area. I took a day trip on the ferry to explore the Redhook neighborhood and glad I stopped by here. The restaurant is EXTREMELY casual - what you'd expect from a barbecue joint, but it definitely has a lot of character. You wait in line and order your food at the front. There are some outdoor picnic tables and the indoor seating is really big. I also will say that for being so casual and not having actual waiters, the service is great. The food was tasty - their bbq sauces that are in bottles on the table are key though! I ordered:-Potato Salad: wasn't expecting it to be puréed, but it was good and has more of a vinegary acidic taste -Coleslaw: not too soggy or drenched in mayo, which was good. Has a dijon mustard taste. -Pulled Pork: very tender. My favorite out of the meats we ordered. -Cornbread: very good. So buttery and dense like a cake and has a honey sweetness to it. -Ribs: decent. -Brisket Sandwich: probably the least exciting to me-Queso: this was a funny addition and I definitely could of done without. But who doesn't love a thing of velveeta!

. The menu it's limited but serves the purpose of BBQ in the area. Showing up early is a must. The wait line was a big longer than expected. It does have a bar indoors that allows you to purchase drinks while you wait. Lots of outdoor seating for a summer day.

We popped on the ferry from Manhattan and we're dropped off basically outside this BBQ joint. The dishes are great to order in a Group and share around country table style. We had the Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork Sandwich with a side of Mac and Cheeese.

Had been to one of their other locations many years ago. Stopped for lunch here. Didn't know they were Michelin rated. Thoroughly enjoyed the brisket sandwich and a side of their delicious cornbread. Happy they had interior as well as exterior seating. Would recommend.

Food good but the service has really gone down!!!!Been on the line for over an hour at 11:30 noon and looks like they could have a way better system!!! The services don't seem to notice the line at all. Unfortunate.

Expect to wait minimum an hour to two hours, especially on the weekends. We got here at 6:40pm today and sat down with our food at 8:30pm! We ordered the brisket both fatty and lean- go for the fatty! It's hella soft and delicious. The corn bread was my fave item, go for a corner piece! Crispy, sweet, and buttery! A delicious accompaniment to the savory meat. Two words: honey butterWhen we got there they were sold out of a lot of items, so the earlier you go the better. A lot of people were turned away as we were eating as they sold out of food at around 8:50pm- which means you had to get on line about an hour and a half before that! The slaw was just okay and the Mac n cheese was nothing special.I got 1/2 a pound of brisket and it was plenty with enough to take home as leftovers.The staff are incredibly sweet and personable! Will I return? If I'm in the neighborhood and it's a random time during the weekday- I really don't believe on waiting for long lines but wanted to give this place a try, and I'm glad I did!

I could really care less for ribs but after checking out the reviews for Hometown Bar-b-que I had to bring him here for the first time for his birthday. We live upstate NY and it rained most of the morning but we still made it to the restaurant about ten minutes after they opened. The skies had cleared and the line to order was just outside the door. Our line mate in front of us informed that the line would normally be around the block by now if it weren't for the weather so I guess we were lucky for the rain which "promised a shorter line" which reason he bribed his young daughter with the promise to visit Ample Hills Creamery for dessert after he got his fix here. It took about an hour to make it to the counter to order our food but it was worth the wait. As we got closer to ordering the more excited we got not just because of the food but because we saw how happy staff were, enjoying themselves doing their jobs to the rhythm of the music that filled the restaurant. It was delightful and refreshing to see the staff enjoying their jobs. Kudos to management for that. When we get to the counter our line mate inquired with the butcher as to price of the beef rib. The butcher responded $40 per pound and I jumped back slightly in surprise of the cost. The butcher openly laughed at my response and called me out on it. He then preceded to thoroughly educate me on the religious time and care given to the meat before it made it to the cutting board just for me to enjoy... The line mate in front of me took one rib and as the butcher cut it, it looked so good so... I did it. I got one too and it was love at first bite. I normally hate beef ribs because most places serve it so fatty. We came to eat so we also order half a rack of the char sui baby back ribs, an order of Korean pork ribs, Vietnamese hot wings, the brisket queso dip with tortilla chips, potato salad, collard greens, kosher dill pickles, cornbread and and a lamb bang mi sandwich wrapped to go for later. The beef rib is what will bring me back but I will also be ordering the cornbread, potato salad and collard greens again too. My son thoroughly enjoyed the brisket queso dip with tortilla chips as well. The wings were the only disappointment. The flavor was good but the skin was like chewing on a rubber band. My husband also agreed that the beef rib was his favorite but he didn't like the potato salad because he thought it was mashed potatoes.

Thought this place was a great place after I went based on a friends recommendation. Low and behold the food is not that great and on top of that the food is so expensive. It isn't even worth it ! You can fly to Texas and back and get better food and pay less than you would at this place! Save your money and go somewhere else

This is the best BBQ in NYC! The brisket is unbelievable, the ribs were great and the cornbread is the best I've ever had. Very reasonable prices for the quality. Not to mention the staff and service were over the top friendly and attentive. They have an awesome bar and lots of outdoor seating. I can't wait to become a regular here. Don't change a thing!

0/5.0Service 3.5/5.0Value 3.0/5.0Decor 3.0/5.0Overall 4.0/5.0Really good BBQ. Everything was done well -- importantly, including the brisket. The wings were interesting. Service at the counter. Everything felt like I was in TX, aside from the prices (I don't mind, just keep it going!). Curious about why the Asian/Korean-inspired items. Would come back.

One of those places that I consistently visit when meeting with friends or when spending time with family. I really like their food, also drinks, without further ado, just amazing! The atmosphere is also great, the service is also great, some compliments. But guys, I ask you, please do something with the price tag for some items, sometimes I look at them and feel that this is an overprice!

My family was in from out of town last week and were referred to Hometown for dinner. The ordering process was a little sloppy but the food was outstanding. Brisket was very tender and juicy, probably the best sausage I've ever had. The chicken and sides were top notch. I love BBQ and have had it all over the country, and I would put this at the top. My kids don't love it as much and all were asking if we could go back.

....Overpriced for the portion size(sandwiches had minuscule amounts of meats for a $17 sandwich, think old school subway meat portions but without lots of fixings). Extremely salty everything. Great service. Will not be going back.

We were at a bar down the street and decided after our last round of drinks that BBQ sounded delightful. I called ahead to see how busy they were at the time and the person on the phone urged us to come immediately to secure a spot for 5 people. We dashed over here, literally within 5-10 minutes after our call as we were literally a block away. Upon arrival, we were told by a guy at the door that they were completely out of meat/food. Let me repeat that: They were out. of. food. I'm sorry, but it is 7:30pm on a Saturday night and you're telling me you're completely out of food? Not only that but we were instructed to run over here to dine. I find it hard to believe you had food when I called 10 minutes prior. Why would you even tell us to come? We then had a conversation with one of the staff who advised that this happens WEEKLY. It is just completely baffling to me that a restaurant like this would be so ill prepared on such a regular basis- especially on a Saturday night?! Shouldn't that be one of the best paying nights for restaurants? How is this a successful business model? I do hope to try the food, once they actually have some for us to try- but as for now I'm just left with this bitter taste in my mouth. 2/5

Overpriced and overrated, sorry,I gave them multiple chances but still, it's just not good.$13 for three wings. No.The wings were overcooked, dry, and it felt like they were thawed from a deep freezer.Never again.
