Tres golpes sandwich w/ smoked carnitas
Ed S.

Ordered the Tres Golpes sandwich with smoked carnitas. The sandwich came with fried queso blanco and maduro to which I added pickled red onions and pickles. This sandwich is packed with more than 1/3 lb meat and incredible flavor. Bite after bite the flavor never wavered. The service was friendly and conscientious and the dining area is a food court full of high tops. There's also an outdoor seating area.

Located in Time Out Market, this spot offers some authentic Southern BBQ to DUMBO. When I went around 5:30pm, the line was honestly pretty insane and our wait was about 1.5 hours (I did not expect it to be this long when I got in line). You order at the counter and are given a tray to enjoy your food--classic food court style. We got their tres golpes with rice and mac n' cheese, and everything was so good. The pulled pork in the tres golpes was so juicy and the sides were so flavorful. Would I wait 1.5 hours for this again? No. But was it good? Yes.

The bad is the darn wait, this is probably the only establishment in Time Out Market that has a line. About 20 minutes in line and I really wanted the tres golpe with beef but they had no plantains, so I didn't get the real experience of the sandwich. Also ordered the Chopped beef, which is basically the brisket chopped up. I wish the bark sauce would have been more flavorful but it wasn't. Also ordered a side of their Mac and cheese but it was overly seasoned. Seating is limited as it seems always crowded but it was a nice view of the outside Dumbo area.

This place was so good. Brisket was incredible along with the Mac and cheese and plantains

I write this review with great happiness and sadness. Happiness for being able to experience this delicious spot in Dumbo and sadness because I was so happy to try my food that I forgot to take pics to remember the moment. This Texan found Texas level smoked meat in NYC and I was pleasantly surprised by the taste! These guys have it right. I tried a pound of brisket, marble cut so very moist, one pork rib, with a delicious pepper bark, and the Dominican rice and beans, and the cornbread. Everything was a 10/10. Because it's in the food hall it was counter service which was pretty fast and friendly. Be prepared for a line though. It's worth the wait!

Came here on a saturday evening around 6:45 PM. Although every other stall in time out market was relatively short, bark barbecue had a very long line. We decided to wait, and it took us 45 minutes to get our food. My favorite meat was the pork ribs. The brisket was tasty but a bit on the dry side, and the sausage didn't stand out to me. I wish that the meats all came with more sauce. Out of the side dishes, I liked the cornbread the most, although the rice and beans and the mac and cheese were also tasty. The food here was solid, but in my opinion, it was not worth the price or the wait. You could get a much nicer experience and tastier meal at a similar price elsewhere.

My friend and I rolled up while browsing time out market and the sound of Dominican bbq was irresistible to me. It was a good sign that there was a decent sized line too. Very casual place. If you've never been, it's in a cozy food hall type of place. Chill. Great views of the water and bridge just outside. When you first rock up there is a guy who slices of a piece of brisket for you to sample. That was a very nice touch but I've had better. The brisket flavor was there but it wasn't tender whatsoever. It was on the lean side for sure. I ordered the larger of the two beef ribs that were on display and it was monstrous, absolutely massive. I had a late breakfast so that was more than enough food for at two meals. My friend and I got our meals to-go. She ordered the maduros (cooked plantains), brisket, cornbread, and chicharrones (which were delicious). The longanisa was good albeit a bit spicy, definitely well seasoned. My friend LOVED the mofongo (both of our first time trying it). It isn't always on the menu apparently. I thought it tasted like Latin stuffing haha. Not my cup of tea but the flavors were there and it was very interesting haha. All together my Mofongo, beef rib, and longanisa totaled almost $75 before tip which is pretty hefty must say. It is a ton of food though and you're definitely paying a premium for the meatier items. My friend wasn't impressed by the cornbread and only had a bite or two. Same with the brisket. Too dry. We all enjoyed the chicharrones and longanisa and beef rib though. I'd recommend this place for some things but skip the cornbread and brisket. I'd like to go back to try the pork ribs and dine in instead of get takeout.

WHEN: Sat @11am It was our one day outing in Brooklyn so chose Bark BBQ to have lunch! I've never had Dominican Texas style BBQ before! It's located in the very lovely Time Out Market, a section amongst other food vendors that does not open until 11am. We got here just before they open, with 2 parties ahead of us. The only reason there was a delay was they needed to replace the warming light bulb. Otherwise I'm sure the line would have moved much more quickly. No biggy. Meats here are priced by the half pound which is a good amount for 2 people to try. So between my partner and I, we ordered: BRISKET - $19.50/0.5lb - 2 slices PORK RIBS - $16/0.5lb - 2 pieces Both meat selections were well seasoned, tender, and rich. SO GOOD!!!! Wow, I was so impressed by this! The 2 sauces to dip in is a must but even without them the meats were good! MAC & CHEESE - $6 (small) The sides come in 3 sizes and the small is plenty for 2 people to share as a side. It was really good, and I love how dramatic it looks with the cheese sauce overflowing, and the cup filled to the very top like a mountain. Cheesy, creamy, and everything you'd expect from quality Mac n cheese! TORTA DOMINICANA - $4 Cornbread and Honey Butter Definitely get this whether you want it with your meats or later as a dessert because it's really good and gooey. I enjoyed this hunk of moist corn cube. It was such a nice day out so we sat outside. With the place being a rooftop, we had a fantastic view of the bridge!

This bbq location in Time Out Market is a tad overpriced and overrated! The food was ok but I've had better BBQ. Check it out if you're in the Dumbo area . The service was good overall once you got to order. The place is buzzing with hungry customers all day and the ambiance on a summer day is excellent. Try the brisket ( sells out 1st) and the honey glazed cornbread ...

Bark Barbecue is located on the rooftop level of the Time Out Market. There are a couple of other restaurants on the same level. Once you order and get your food, there are a lot of seating available (kinda cafeteria style). There's also outdoor seating where you can get a beautiful view of Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline. I ordered the Beef Brisket (which you order by weight). I thought it tasted great and the BBQ sauce was delicious! Also ordered the Maduros, which were really good. On a busy Friday night, I was surprised to find almost no line to order. The food was very good, and the view outdoors was spectacular. Will definitely return.

I'm a bit surprised at some of the lower ratings, but this place was delicious! We didn't get the slaw that's supposed to come with the sandwiches, but I don't eat it so I was fine with that. There was a decent line at 2pm on a Friday, but by the time we sat down and ate...the line had doubled, so it seems the earlier you go, the better. I liked that you can tell them what cut of the meat you want. I don't like the fatty parts so I was able to tell them and they cut the exact right piece for me. The Mac & cheese was surprisingly delicious and the cornbread was a bit different but good. Very sweet. Beautiful views of the bridges and great place to hang out

Ribs , chicharrón, Dominican fried cheese , Mac and cheese

Not impressed overpriced dry BBQ ribs and overly seasoned with salt , the only thing I enjoyed was the chicharrón which is almost impossible to mess up and the Mac and cheese was good nothing out this world but the fried cheese had a little bit too much shruo whatever it was tha the put on top that maes it sweet , can't talk about any other items than what I purchased but there's many other BBQ places in NYC that get doe for real maybe this place lost it touched from when it opened but was not impressed , staff was nice but not much interaction to day negative or positive review pretty neutral

Excellent, informal, and very authentic Peruvian restaurant in an out-of-the-way but increasingly…read morefoodie-friendly corner of Brooklyn.

There were five of us who dropped in to La Chacra for a late lunch on a chilly, but bright Saturday…read moreafternoon. We were greeted immediately by a friendly bartender, and quickly seated. That set the tone of attentive service, which continued throughout an exceptional meal in Bath Beach. This area is busy, in a locals doing their thing kind of way. It's a real neighborhood, and La Chacra is a great reason to check it out. We initially had decided on ordering the Combo La Chacra, which consists of a whole rotisserie chicken, yellow rice with red beans, an avocado salad, an order of salchipapas, and an order of maduros. We added an extra half chicken, and thought "that's a wrap". However, there was an appetizer special of thinly sliced octopus prepared Peruvian style that needed to be ordered too. The service was excellent. Not overwhelming, but just right. Dishes were cleared, napkins replaced, straw wrappers taken away as soon as they hit the table. It's not something that I'm used to writing about, but needed to be said. And then, the food. It was outstanding. Compared to both the basic, and the high end Peruvian restaurants that I've been to throughout the city, La Chacra is far and away the best. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and felt intentional. Nothing was just thrown on a plate. As full as we were, and we were quite full, there was no way that we were leaving without trying something from the desert menu. Another wise choice, as both the flan and the tres leche cake were fantastic. To wrap this one up, this spot is a solid five stars. The prices are very reasonable and the food, service, and charming atmosphere will have us returning soon.
