    I'm a regular before or after theater for drinks and meals. Having a meal at the bar, if you can get room, is a good experience. Very casual and welcoming atmosphere. The menu has a great selection of Bar-B-Q options and I have never been disappointed. I really enjoy the live music when they have it. I would be spending more time there if I lived closer.

    Typical of this reasonably priced chain, but I have better both from this outlet and from the chain generally. My last trip the pulled pork was not served hot, and the juices seemed more watery than meaty. It was okay but not much more.

    Have been to the original Dinosaur in Syracuse many times. This place is similar, however not the same. Food was good, service was good. Easy to get seated and easy parking. Would recommend.

    the ribs were a little over done but delicious. A little loud for our taste but the service and ambience were excellent. The best southern style greens I've had north of Georgia! Looking forward to our next visit to try more of the menu. The sharing menu is a great value.
