Dinosaur Bar-B-Que - New York, NY

Being a North Carolinian who's traveled to Kansas City and Texas for BBQ recently, I was really skeptical about this place. However, I kept an open mind and ended up really liking it. It's in Harlem on 125th Street and 12th Avenue (two blocks from the 1 train at 125th street station). The building is quite nice although very loud (the bad music they play doesn't help). Amazing, amazing beer selection is the best part. Annoyingly, they won't seat you until your whole party is there (even if you have 5 of 6 like we did) and service isn't the best. However, the food is very good. I split a rack of ribs with four sides with someone ($29.99) and also sampled the pulled pork. Everything was tasty (good BBQ sauces too) and far better than I expected for being in New York ^
