The food is really really good. I have the chicken pot pie soup today and it was really satisfying. (Sorry that I keep using the word ".) It's order up at the counter, staff is very nice, and brings the food to your table so you don't have to sit around waiting for your number to be called. (I always forget my number anyway.) The setting itself is nice, kind of reminds me of places I would get barbecue in Nashville , though I know this place is Oklahoma themed. I've had some of the barbecue entrées before, this place always hits the spot, and the prices are "not bad at all." This place is a go! read more

I tried to like their sliders and food but in my opinion it was very bare minimum. Plus points; huge variety and the service was exceptional but the food just wasn't doing it to me. Key notes: Crème Brûlée was a small portion but the thing that threw me off was the consistency; very thick and not chilled well. Mac n Cheese was different but tasted pretty good overall. Mushroom sliders were not good. But I might have ordered the wrong thing this time; I will come back and rereview. read more

Excellent BBQ! The half roasted chicken was so moist, the short ribs were so tender and the rub gave them such great flavor, no sauce needed. The pork ribs , amazing! You will not be disappointed. The Mac and cheese, very good! The baked beans were delicious, we add the onion to them that went perfectly. Roasted potatoes, perfectly seasoned. Sorry no pictures, want to write review after tasting everything! read more

Do not order from this place. I ordered rib tips and that were ice cold. When I called to ask why they sent me ice cold ribs, the gentleman laughed and said you didn't order them hot and proceeded to give me reaheating directions. I asked if was an option in the app, he told me yes. Shocker, it most definitely not an option. They also sent the worst cut rib tips. I definitely do not recommend this place. read more

Unique BBQ option for lunch or dinner. I love that all of the sandwiches have a slider option for when you are just looking for a snack. The sides are good. While the BBQ is great my go to lunch order is the Vermonter turkey sandwich. It's so good. read more

I was starving yesterday and decided to get take-out from this place for the first time. Got the "lunch special" of one choice of meat and one side with a drink for $12.50. When I received my order, it was noticeably light, and I really should have checked it before it left, but I was carrying a lot of other things and just wanted to get home and eat. Imagine my disappointment and pure disdain for this joke of a "lunch special" when I got home and saw the two to three ounces of chicken and small container of stuffing I was given. See photo. I mixed the chicken and stuffing together here just to have some semblance of a decent-sized meal. BBQ sauce container included for scale. Chicken was fine and the stuffing was pretty average. Lemonade was very artificial in taste. Need to reiterate the minuscule portions. Will never eat here again. It's pretty telling too that this place is empty most of the time. I probably would never had eaten here if I weren't so hungry. This happened yesterday and I am still mad about it. I spent the same amount at Chiptole and got three times the amount of food, if not more. read more

Au Jus - This plus a drink is their "lunch special" - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

Solid option for Oklahoma style BBQ brisket, ribs, and chicken, along with roast beef and corned beef. The Oak smoke brings out the flavor of the meat without overpowering - the smokiness is much milder than the Texas style. Be sure to try the brisket (tender and cooked for over 14 hours - it goes well with either the sweet or Oklahoma BBQ sauce side) with a side of stuffing. Prices are very reasonable and the food is great even from delivery. Worth a visit (or an order)! read more

Had a delightful time in here on an otherwise dreary day. It was my first time seeing my nonagenarian MIL in a year, and she chose this place. Turns out she's a regular. The staff all go out of their way to treat her like a treasured family member. Food was excellent! The ribs were fall-off-the+bone tender, and the Mac & cheese was delicious. My daughter had the crab cake sandwich and said it was great. We sat & talked for quite some time & staff made sure we had everything we needed. I'm sure we'll be visiting more often & will be sure to come back here. read more

"We were surprised to see Oklahoma Style BBQ here in the Upper West Side. It was our first time trying Oklahoma Style BBQ so ordered from here a couple of times! First thing first, Their Oklahoma BBQ Pork Ribs with a side of mac and cheese and cornbread. The ribs were tasty! We loved the dry rub and the meat come off the bone easily, super tender and flavorful. As for the BBQ sauce, it was a lot tangier for sure! But overall worth it! The Tulsa BBQ Pulled Pork was also delicious! It was served on a brioche roll with pickled red onions, coleslaw & BBQ sauce. It was a flavorful sandwich and they gave a wonderful amount of meat. We also ordered their Oklahoma Hot Links Sandwich. Now this one was served on a Hawaiian sweet roll, smoked, hot n' spicy beef sausage with melted sharp cheddar cheese, chicharrones, baby arugula, and chipotle sweet pepper mayo. The cheese in this sandwich just melts so beautifully with the combination of the heat from the beef sausage is perfection. Very hot and spicy, worth the mouth burn. Not to make this review too long, but the crabcake sandwich was also good, a little small - more of a light snack but good! Lastly, their Homemade Crème Brûlée is well made! great when you are craving a decent price Crème Brûlée. Overall, will come back again and again!" read more

You're Pretty Good Looking (for a Girl) - The White Stripes I had to start this review with a musical reference in imitation of my Yelp friend, Dan R. of Simsbury -- because that was my mental soundtrack as we sampled our way through this meal: Au Jus makes pretty good barbecue (for New York). It's evidently a mini chain with a few locations around the city and it distinguishes itself from the competition as a purveyor of Oklahoma style barbecue (a lesser known style than South Carolina, St. Louis, East / West / North / South Texas, etc...). All barbecued meat from Au Jus comes unsauced, which bbq snobs often regard as a pre-requisite for legit barbecue. Three sauces were sent on the side with our delivery order, none of which had more than a hint of heat: a sweet, mild, mustard-laced "Carolina gold" style sauce; a darker, more vinegary sauce; and a sweeter, mild brown sauce. Portion sizes were surprisingly normal -- as in they fall somewhere between the enormous, southern-sized portions that could feed an entire family of New Yorkers, and the delicate, diminutive portion sizes one often finds at NYC Michelin-starred restaurants. Platters come with two sides. Here's the blow-by-blow: The Oklahoma BBQ Pork Ribs Platter ($16.95) included four ribs, which had a winning smokiness and an unusually moist, fall-off-the-bone texture. Less winning: the huge amount of fat that was left on the meat. My favorite (non-Oklahoma-style) bbq places trim or slow cook much more of that fat off. It's possible that the higher ratio of fat is deliberate in Oklahoma-style barbecue to preserve moisture. (Barbecue aficionados, feel free to weigh in.) Beef Short Ribs Platter ($16.95) included three boneless ribs, which shared the same flaw as their porky cousins: The thick vein of fat running through the meat was excessive and unappetizing, and difficult to eat around. There was less smoke flavor than in the beef ribs, but flavors were straightforward and excellent, the texture pliant, but not wimpy. Tulsa pulled pork ($15.95) was moist and tender, happily not too overtly fatty. It was moistened with an oily jus (justifying the restaurant's name, I guess!). The pork was enjoyable, but not too different from what you might make in your own slow cooker at home. Some of the sides were quite presentable. I REALLY liked the sauteed kale and the smoked gouda mac 'n' cheese was probably made from scratch. Stuffing was, as I think Deborah P. noted, pretty basic (devoid of nice veggie mix-ins). "Southern" cornbread was no such thing; this was as Yankee a version of cornbread as you can find, sweet and fluffy. (Only noting in case someone is outraged by such mislabeling. Some southerners are very attached to their cornpone.) Cole slaw was standard issue. Would not personally get again: 1. The "Vermonter" sandwich read nicely on paper -- I'm a sucker for apples on sandwiches -- but the execution (75% bread, 25% filling) was a fail. Actually, make that 10% mayonnaise filling; 15% turkey and apples. I tolerate mayonnaise when I have to; the copious amounts used here drowned out the taste of every other ingredient. 2. The Oklahoma Red Chili was bonk-you-over-the-head salty and tasted a little bit to me like it was made with a McCormick chili seasoning packet. It was all meat (or almost all meat), so may be particularly enjoyable for those who don't do beans in their chili. 3. An order of chicken tortilla soup contained far more solids than liquid, so if you enjoy your soup as something more akin to a stew, this is for you. I personally prefer soupy soup with a lot of broth, but that's just me. Flavors were enjoyable -- no complaints, there. When it comes to NYC barbecue, my heart still belongs to Mighty Quinn's -- but it's nice to have Au Jus filling its niche market for Oklahoma style 'cue, especially since there's a location within delivery distance for me. Hope they keep at it. read more

Great food, great music, and great wine! The pork was a little dry. There was a local female beggar that the waitress kindly asked to step away, so we could listen to the music. They complied. Our servers were wonderfully sweet and knowledgableble women who were also very honest and funny. They have been here since the start. read more

Got take out here on a Tuesday night at 7 pm. The establishment was completely empty with the exception of a few take out orders. There's some indoor seating and a really cute outdoor patio/street seating area. Got the half BBQ chicken with chili and cornbread stuffing. Great value for the money and everything was so carefully packaged. Chicken was fall off the bone soft, perfectly juicy and tender. The chili was a little more on the salty side for me but contained a healthy dose of meat. I would return again for one of those nights where they have live music playing. read more

We are astonished that this special Oklahoma BBQ place isn't packed as it should be. The food is well prepared, well priced, and there's a big variety to choose from--everything from vegetarian, to chicken, to beef and pork. Good sized portions, too. The side dishes are just as well done as the BBQ. The staff is friendly and attentive. We always take ours to go, but the place has a cafe feel and it serves beer and wine, so it would be a nice place to hang. We've been repeat customers for 4 years and we'll keep coming. Try it. You'll like it. read more

The roast beef made me cry. Unfortunately, I was not please with the presentation nor the portion of food that came with the roast beef. The chicken platter on the hand was definitely the better option. The portions size for that was enough to fill me up and it was cheaper than the roast beef. The 2 chili sides tasted pretty much the same and were particularly on the saltier side. read more

Very tasty BBQ at a reasonable price with very good and friendly service. I also very much like the stuffing.

Ordered via their online portal for delivery. It took just under 1 1/2 hours for about 5 blocks, but their notifcations kept changing, and I never knew when the food was actually expected. If you're close enough, just pick it up in person! Luckily the BBQ ribs are worth it. The meat was falling off the bone, the gouda mac was good. The carrot cake was good. They were missing one of the desserts I ordered (they did call and let me know it was out and refunded it when requested). The weak item was the banana pudding. It was a cup of mushy bananas and commercial pudding with a few nilla wafers thrown on top. read more

My wife son and I had dinner here Saturday night and it was great! I had the roast beef which was super flavorful and steak fries. My wife had the brisket. Service was friendly, attentive and prompt. We sat outdoors surrounded by tomato plants and herbs -- how cool!! Great chill family friendly spot. And good food! We'll be back. read more

I love BBQ and want to try every one in the city. Sadly, this will be near the bottom. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly. Interior is nice as well. Sad to report the best part of the meal was the side of kale. The brisket had a nice flavor but as other have reported, it's about half fat and the portion was comically small. For $21 you would expect to be stuffed. One thing that all BBQ places have in common is plenty of food for the price. This was just sad. The baked beans tasted like they were out of a can. Like I said, the kale was awesome. But overall, way overpriced and subpar food. read more

Tried the chicken, brisket, and pork ribs. Also ordered the salad and roasted potatoes, Salad and Potatoes were OK. Chicken was good with BBQ Sauce. Brisket was mostly fat and really not appetizing. I did eat the one small piece that wasn't fatty. Pork ribs smelled old and microwaved and did not even eat but a nibble. As someone from Texas where you can find BBQ all over the city, can't give it more than 2 stars. Sorry :-( read more

When this place opened on the UWS, we were thrilled! Great food in our neighborhood. But after today's experience, we're just wondering: "WHAT HAPPENED ?!" We ordered our favorite ( the leg of lamb 1 pound & 2 sides to go). When we got home, we only found 1/2 pound and 2 sides! , Naturally, we called them, they argued with us that we only ordered 1/2 pound! Even after telling them that we both recalled ordering 1 pound! The REAL disappointment came when we ate our lamb! IT WAS MICROWAVED! Not tender at all, very rubbery, not a spec of pink! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! Poor Customer Service and worst of all: LACK OF CULINARY SKILLS!!!! YOU DON'T MICROWAVE A LEG OF LAMB! PERIOD! AU JUS should do a BETTER job training their employees! Not the first time! Read other reviews! read more

I absolutely love BBQ... and I have been to numerous BBQ spots throughout the city to enjoy some Que'. Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with Au Jus... the first red flag was, I didn't smell BBQ anything when I walked into the establishment. I ordered the Half rack of ribs, Mac n Cheese and the stuffing. My GF ordered the Brisket. The Ribs were microwaved warm so I was already turned off; the Mac N Cheese and stuffing was decent. My GF didn't enjoy her microwaved fatty Brisket, and after 3 ribs saved by the golden bbq sauce, I was done with my meal. We were hoping to enjoy this bbq spot, but this wasn't it. Walked in hungry but left more than half the food on our plates. You can't microwave bbq... sorry, not sorry. read more

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened and the quality of their barbecue is always the best. I love steak sandwiches and pork chops. They are so good! You can taste the quality of the meat is very good. The service staff is also very warm, every time to feel very cordial! New England clam chowder. You're delicious. There's a lot of clam in the soup! It is highly recommended！ read more

I hate tomato based BBQ, so was really looking forward to Au Jus's Oklahoma bbq. Unfortunately, they were pretty meh - except for the au jus that comes with the roast beef. The au jus was flavorful and not too salty - too bad the roast beef was completely tasteless and dried out. The corned beef was ok - though in NYC you can easily get better. The beans were too sweet, the stuffing tasted like Stovetop and the rib tips were dry. Okay offerings include the chicken pot pie soup, cornbread, and the brisket. Get it with a side of au jus for an upcharge. read more

High quality barbecue with an impressive selection of beverages and dessert offerings. They have a lot of frozen drinks and lemonades, we decided to try the strawberry lemonade for this time. We had the brisket and smoked pork rib as the entree. Both were perfectly tender. I paired my brisket with the golden bbq sauce and *chefs kiss* Soo good. To finish I ordered the red velvet which was decent. They got the cream cheese frosting right but the cake wasn't proper red velvet. I won't hold it against them though they had a lot of southern specialty cakes I'd like to try. I would highly recommend the dessert for the price and variety. The ambiance was above average, they had a cute outdoor dining set up. The service was a little subpar though. Our waitress was very kind, but I think she was a little overwhelmed by the dinner rush. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my boys. Staff was friendly and great with my boys. The boys loved the chicken soup. They had a hamburger and hotdog. I ordered the whole chicken platter and everyone enjoyed there food. We ordered a box of rib tips to go for the evening and that was a huge hit as well. We will definitely come back again. read more

Don't go. Just not worth it. My "platter" of ribs contained 3 pieces. The side of Mac and cheese was about 7 noodles. The corn bread was sad and they didn't even include butter. There's just no love in this food. read more

Took me a while to get to the place but I'm glad I did. Food is excellent! The pulled chicken sandwich was hearty and the roll was super fresh. The chicken pot pie soup? Superb (although the temperature of it was hotter than Hades!) Banana pudding was rich and creamy. Staff was friendly and service was quick. I went in hungry and left feeling completely satisfied. It is rather heavy fare, but they also have salads for those seeking lighter options. I have a feeling I'll be returning when fall and winter approach as it will make for spot-on cold weather fare. read more

The portions of food are unsatisfactory. Sweet potato pie was insulting. I put in a complaint, and was reimbursed for the amount of pies that. read more

Can be hit or miss but when it's good, it's absolutely delicious. Portion sizes are a bit skimpy as well.

Very good, great prices. Brisket is among the best I've had in NYC. Decor at this location is nice.

Off to a bumpy start during their soft opening. The beef brisket was a little over fatty and dry in places. Flavor was good. Cornbread was great flavor but weirdly leathery on top. Kale was way overloaded with garlic. Gouda Mac and cheese was delicious. read more

I love this place!!!! Their smoked chicken sandwich and brisket sandwiches are incredible, and I want to try everything on their menu! The prices are also great! And their staff is always friendly. read more

Au Jus - Smoked Chicken Sandwich - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

4 stars for the new addition to the neighborhood. Certainly the worse time in the history of the world to open a restaurant, but has remained open during the pandemic. Have taken out severaltimes since the pandemic began. The smoked chickennis good, maybe a bit dry , but with the sauce is quite good. The barbecued chicken as well as the brisket are both tasty. The sauces are spicy and great! The baked beans and the Kale are both good.. The chili is terrific! Love the decor, with all the photos of celebrities born in Oklahoma and posters from musicians and venues in Tulsa. I hope this place succeeds!! read more

Going to give this place four stars, because the food tasted good, and my heart is breaking for anyone who opens a restaurant two days after coronavirus is declared a worldwide pandemic. We got the pulled pork sandwich, the Gouda Mac, and the Kale. All of them were delicious. The pulled pork sandwich was succulent and the coleslaw had a perfect crunchy sweetness. The kale was packed with flavor, and didn't have that overpowering bitter taste that is typical of kale, nor was it masked with sugar which is how most restaurants make it palatable. The Gouda Mac was just delicious. Hopefully this place can make it! The food was tasty! read more

Sooooo disappointing. How are there a bunch of good reviews? I got a very soggy roast beef, flavorless , sandwich. Literally Arbys is better than this place! I'm sorry, I don't usually write poor reviews, but this sandwich was awful. Save your money/time and go elsewhere read more

I have been a regular take-out customer since you opened at Broadway and 99th St. in NYC. Heretofore I have always been treated courteously Today, after placing my order and sitting down to wait for it, I was startled to see the manager waving a bag from the counter and calling to me. I'm an old man seated near the door and this woman demanded that I get up and come to her for my order. I could not believe my eyes or ears. Frank Coffee, NYC read more
