Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que just opened their new location in Brooklyn. We went there for dinner with a group and it was as amazing as expected. The location is between 3rd and 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, where there really aren't that many restaurants. It's a huge space inside, with picnic tables out front. There was a good crowd there on a Monday night. However, the wait was only about 20 minutes. They have a large bar, with an extensive drink and beer list, that you can hang out at while waiting for a table. They also take reservations through OpenTable, if you don't want to wait.

We started the meal off with appetizers of fried green tomatoes and deviled eggs. Both were delicious. We opted for "fancy" fried green tomatoes, that for about $10 came with  fancy pimento cheese and chow chow on top. For entrees, most of the group had combination meat platters that come with two or three meats and two sides. I had a pulled pork sandwich platter that came with two sides.  I had the macaroni and cheese and crispy cole slaw, which were both really good. There are so many choices for dishes and sides, it's really hard to decide. I would want to go back and try some other sides. The meats that were ordered were pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered whether it was a sandwich or plate loaded with meat. We all happily rolled out of the restaurant.

To sum it up, go here for dinner if you love meat and huge portions. It's affordable and excellent food. It has a lively atmosphere that's perfect for a group that's ready to eat and drink.
