The BEST restaurant in Syracuse! Try the 'swag sampler' as an app - deviled eggs, shrimp, fried green tomatoes, and wings. The ribs are amazing and all of the sides are homemade! (Try the cole slaw!)
The Tres Niños dish is a great way to get brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and 2 sides all on one plate. The side of beans was way too sweet for me, but everything else was delicious -- esp. pulled pork.
Really enjoyed the food. Even when they were super busy, we didn’t have 2 wait long for a table. There’s a ($5) parking lot across from the restaurant so you can park, eat & take a nice stroll.
Last time I was there I tried the Dino Poutine and loved it. Similar to Disco Fries, it tops french fries with gravy, house-made pimento cheese and pulled pork. Awesome twist on the Montreal dish.
Food is as to be expected. It's a bbq joint and they live up to their billing. Had the combo plater with brisket and it was the star of the plater. Great blues vibe with very attentive wait staff.
The family style order is an amazing deal. Choose the brisket for the other meat. Definitely feeds 5-6. For sides try the Mac n cheese for sure! The sauce here is off the charts delicious!
If you want to try something a little different, I suggest the Pork-sket Sandwich. Its BBQ Brisket layered with cheese and jalapeños topped with pulled pork and coleslaw on a sandwich roll.
All of the meats are so good. Love the chicken, love the pulled pork, love the brisket and love the ribs. If you are with a group, get the family dinner that allows you to share them all.
The Carolina Pulled Pork sandwich satisfied all requirements: tender pork, creamy slaw, zesty sauce (the "Sensuous"), but it just didn't blow me away. Get the platter to sample the delicious sides.
A Syracuse staple, you have to come in here and have their delicious slow-grilled meats. The ribs are a great favorite of mine and the sides are so flavorful!
While I enjoy all of the new Dinosaurs opening across the Northeast, they do not replicate the atmosphere of here. I really enjoy the grunge. Particularly enjoy coming here after Syracuse basket games
Best freaking BBQ in the States, if you're around this is a MUST! Mc n cheese is awesome, ribs are out of this world, burgers are the best in town,waitress nice and cool
Wings were exceptional, so was the cornbread, cheddar ale soup, mash & gravy and the sweet potatopecan pie. Service was a tad dodgy but the food was with the Annoyance.
The original and the best. Amazingly fast service at the bar. Save room for pie. Always ask for the veggie and soup of the day, and most of all, get the Mac and cheese.
Great bbq in a town where you wouldn't expect it. Very tender baby back ribs. Probably the best beans I've had anywhere. Cornbread is a big disappointment
The folks at Dino take a slab of St. Louis ribs and coat it with a secret rub, smoke it, and glaze it to perfection. Pair it with the sausage-infused Bar-B-Que Beans and Dino's creamy coleslaw.
"Eat at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que" is a popular tip for students looking for things to do during their time at SU. Stop by this Syracuse landmark to enjoy a BBQed meal like you've never had before!
A bit of a hike for dinner, the Dinosaur is for some of the very best BBQ on the east coast. The diverse crowd is great, but be sure avoid knocking over the line of Harleys out front.
The ribs are simply unreal, and the chili is so good I have no words to describe it. The Mac and Cheese is just average at best, but the chili more than made up for it.
The wait, crowdedness, & narrowness may seem discouraging, but the food is well worth it! Try the wings with wango tango and some fried green tomatoes.
This place is jamming on the weekends - best to go in the mid afternoon if you don't want to wait a couple hours. The bloody marys are amazing. The mojitochicken steak is a must try for lunch or di
Say "Dinosaur BBQ" to a local and watch their mouth start to water. Try the Wango Tango sauce over a rack of ribs. Check out the funky wall art & live music & enjoy this Syracuse celebrity! \nПодробнее
Not only great food but most nights real barroom bands. Just drive by any night of the week and if the large neon light says live music tonight, then you are in luck.
