I stopped by for takeout on the way to a baseball game at West Point, and I'm glad I did! I ordered Brisket with Cheesy Grits and Potato Salad! The staff were very nice and welcoming. We had a good conversation while I was waiting for my order! There were several families eating and they were all well-pleased too. The restaurant is nice and homey. If I lived close, I'd be here often to try their different items! Even an hour later, the food was great! I'll be back next year! read more

Spare ribs were quite tender and a second half rack offered another piece gratis. Cole slaw as a side was a little bland but the potato salad was solid. read more

Recently stayed at the hotel right next door and ordered take out. Got the Pig Out combo plus 10 medium smoked wings. I think the sauce on the wings had gochujang paste, it was phenomenal. It had plenty of sauce left inside the container, I decided to rub all the meats with it and it was so delicious. The ribs I thought could be more moist though. But their sweet potato fries were bomb. A must order item!! I'm glad I tried this place. I called to place the order and it was ready within 15 minutes. read more

BB's is a solid BBQ experience. I've earn there a few time over the years whenever I'm in the West Point area and it never disappoints. People are friendly. Prices reasonable, and location easy to find. read more

Average barbecue at best. The beans tasted like they came out of a can and could have used some actual barbecue flavor to it. The coleslaw was lackluster and the meat, while, definitely smoked, lacked a lot in flavor. The barbecue sauce was extremely watery, and there was no bread served with our dishes. The waitress looked like she had just gotten out of bed and still had house slippers on. Not sure I'd ever return or recommend this place to anyone. read more

We came here after a hike at Bear Mountain nearby and could not have chosen a better place. We ordered the 3 meats combo which came with two sides. The meats we chose were brisket, 1/4 rack of ribs and pulled pork. The ribs were fall off the bone tender. Everything was tender! The meats were all so flavorful. The two sides we got were French fries and potato salad. The fries were good but I wasn't a fan of the potato salad. It was a little bland. We had no wait for a weekend. There were many open tables. The service was amazing. The BBQ master came to check on us and gave us suggestions of what to order. Everyone was so friendly. I can't wait to come back again. read more

Real bbq. Real smoker in the back. Great local staff for some food. His brisket is phenomenal

Looked for a place after a day of hiking and stumbled across this restaurant looking through yelp. Service was awesome. Food was really good. Portions and price hit the mark. Ribs were dry rub and had good smoke flavor. A little dry but overall very meaty and tender. Sides were a little small but loaded with flavor. My daughter who is picky devoured the chicken sandwich and we had to take home most of the burger as the patties were just monster thick. All in all, price matched what you got and what you got was good. This is a solid yelp selection. read more

Stopped by here after visiting Bear Mountain nearby.. I came midday so it was kinda of empty and easy to find parking. The waiter greeted me immediately and brought me an iced water without being asked! Alot of ppl order the "pig out" which seems like a great deal because you get an assortment of meats but I couldn't finish all of that, so I chose the ribs. The food came out pretty quickly. The ribs tasted amazing.. very well flavored and you get extra bbq sauce on the side if you want more. The fries were so crispy and perfectly salted! The Cole slaw was creamy and pretty good too (this is coming from a person who doesn't even like Cole slaw). Very relaxing ambiance, all the workers are very nice. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area! read more

Came here after hiking Bear Mountain, we had to wait a bit because they open pretty late for a Saturday (1PM). Once they opened the parking lot was almost nearly full and there were several large parties dining. I got the 1/4 white chicken with cheesy grits and collard greens. The collards greens were really good but the grits and chicken fell flat. The chicken was a bit dry and lacked flavor, Costco rotisserie chicken is better IMO. My bf got the pulled pork, chicken, kielbasa, potato salad, and chili. The pulled pork and kielbasa were significantly better than the chicken, would recommend getting non-chicken protein options however the potato salad was just okay. Having tried southern cuisine and Texan bbq this place does not compare but I guess it's good for the area. We were asked to move our seats to make room for a bigger party and they gave us a discount for the inconvenience which I appreciated! read more

Returned for a visit almost 3 years later. Our group got 2 pig out platters, which is a good variety of the bbq specialties and sides. Ours had ribs, chicken, brisket, pulled pork, kielbasa, onion rings, cornbread and cheesy grits (you choose 2 sides). Favorite meats were kielbasa, brisket, and ribs - all pull apart tender and flavorful. Pulled pork and chicken were on the dry side especially the breast meat which was in the other meal (I suggest requesting the thigh). Enjoyed the onion rings but the cheesy grits were on the bland side, and heard the same from the mac and cheese which I had reviewed last time. Cornbread was moist but small. This is a big meal, even for 2. We had quite a few leftovers, enough for another meal. To feed 4 people with these, it costed just over $100 with a 20% tip. Asked for extra bbq sauce and they were very generous. Pretty good bbq to have in the food desert around West Point. read more

No reservations for this place, but it was fine as we went at a non-traditional time. I went based off of all the reviews. It was so good! I recommend this place if you're in the area. It isn't high class but just very casual. Just know that you should come ready to EAT! First walk-in and you're greeted by someone who welcomes you inside and asks where you would like to sit down. Instead of menus there is a qr code for you to scan with your phone. They ask right away what you would like to drink and get it for you right away. Utensils with napkins are given separately after you order. There was so much to choose from on the menu. But after a bit we chose the pig out special which included chicken, pulled pork, kielbasa, spare ribs, beef brisket, corn bread, and two sides. They said that it should be enough for two people but we couldn't finish everything. It came with two sides so the mac n cheese and the red skin potato salad were chosen. Both were so good we ate all of the sides. Out of the meats that were given my favorite was the chicken and the kielbasa. All in all if I was in the area again I would go back. I gave it four stars due to the bathroom being a tad bit dirty. read more

I have passed this place many times and always wanted to stop in and try it. There are little to no good BBQ places in or around Rockland county NY where I live so I figured I would check out their fare. I wish I had read the reviews first I may have skipped it. Service slow to poor, Food overpriced, boring to bad, Ambiance dingy to dirty. The place is not the cleanest or nicest decor but it's a roadside BBQ joint and that's to be expected. They have no paper menus which is annoying and doesn't make sense because the place is so small and not at all in need of it since they still take your order by hand and guess what? They got our order wrong and there were only four customers in the place the three others had their food HMMM??? The food was basically flavorless the equivalent of reheated bar food. If the prices were considerably lower and the food slightly more edible I would so try it if you're desperate. I am so disappointed because I really wanted to discover a hidden gem but alas still no good BBQ in the Hudson Valley region of NY. read more

Wanted to try here after missing my chance to try them back in the day when they were in Newburgh. Staff is incredibly friendly and polite, though out the whole meal, they keep asking I needed anything and how was the food, even the pitmaster/chef as well-made rounds to ensure we enjoyed the meal. The kielbasa was so good, the skin was crispy and snapped when biting it and love the char on it. The pork ribs, i did like, but more of a fan of a wet BBQ rub then a dry rub, i will say those ribs were very meaty, definitely did not ribs that too fatty. Waffle fries were perfect, so well-seasoned and very crispy, could not stop eating them. Cornbread was amazing, it was that homecooked crumby texture, since many places make cornbread too much like a cake, this place is perfect with them. overall great BBQ and very generous portions, my meal was big enough to have three meal portions. Haha. read more

Great food and service. Diverse menu of all things meat and barbque. Very casual atmosphere.

Recently moved to the area and decided to check out Barnstormer BBQ. Shared the 'Pig Out' BBQ platter and had the smoked wings as an appetizer--it was absolutely delicious! The portions were generous, making it not only a great value but also perfect for leftovers (which were just as good the next day). I also recently attended their Brunch with Santa event with my 8 month old, and it was such a special experience. The breakfast buffet was so homey and comforting--just what you want on a Sunday morning. They advertise that they have breakfast brunch regularly on the weekends, I'll definitely come back! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I'm excited to explore more of their menu soon. Highly recommend! read more

The fois was good. We got full in appetizers unfortunately and couldn't finish our main dishes. The menu isn't busy, easy to order. The place wasn't very loud and I like that there was enough room that we didn't feel cramped when we sat down. The waitresses were attentive, the atmosphere was as if we were at a family BBQ. I liked that as well, It ides have a bar with a TV for those who want to play the bar and eat or maybe just drink. We went at night and I didn't notice outside seating so I'm really not sure about that. All together it was a cool spot. Can't say anything bad about it, that's for sure. For me, it was a nice time. I would visit them again, and would suggest to anyone in the Bear Mt. Area to give it a shot! Cheers. read more

Overall the meal was decent as we were all starving! 20% tip was included but we didn't mind.

Came here after a hike around 2:45pm and had a great time, got seated right away. Covid dining set up was spacious and clean. Attentive staff. The portions were huge! Worried that the two of us couldn't finish a full rack, brisket, and kielbasa but we ended up crushing that along with their sides. Was a bit disappointed with there Mac & Cheese, was missing the cheesy goodness and congealed together. But the beans, coleslaw and sweet potato french fries were on point and paired so well with their ribs. read more

We stopped in after a West Point hockey game. It's less than ten minutes from campus. Walked in the door and got hit with the smokey sweet smell of barbecue. Then saw a bunch of older guys with pot bellies and Rip Van Winkle beards chowing down. These are signs of a good barbecue joint. They seated us right away. The friendly waitress stopped over to introduce herself and take our drink order. After she dropped off our drinks, she took our dinner order. We asked a few questions. She took her time answering our questions and making suggestions. While we were waiting for our food, another waiter walked past and asked if he could get us drink refills. That's another sign of a good restaurant. Everyone on the wait staff is friendly, and they cover each other's tables. The food arrived. We were all impressed with the generous size portions. The food was great. Fresh, juicy, and the right balance of sweet, smoky, and spicy. Prices are reasonable. We'll definitely be back. read more

OK, we're native southerners and, rightly or wrongly, carry doubts about BBQ joints outside of that region. We've enjoyed a few good barbecue treats in unlikely places in New England, but our skepticism is healthy. Even so, we were delighted to try Barnstormer when we were staying in the area recently. It's run by some nice folks, and it has a loose, casual vibe with pleasant servers and a menu you need a QR code reader to peruse. That's never been a thrill, but it is what it is. We decided to try a lot of the sides since they reflect a southerner's food biases: mac n' cheese, collards, rice, cheesy grits, slaw, cornbread. You get the idea. The results weren't awful, but they weren't anything close to memorable either. The grits had a good texture (a rare achievement for New England cooks) but nothing else. The collards were pretty tasty if kind of undercooked. The Mac n' cheese was actually cheese and pasta shells (???) which was peculiar, though the cheese was good. The rest was ... well, edible. And no, we didn't sample the bbq, so you can take our comments with a big "if." We give the folks here credit for a good try though the results left us lacking. read more

Barnstormer Barbeque - A selection of sides: grits, mac and collards - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Montgomery, New York

table was sticky. took 10 min before someone came to our table. waitress walked by several times but apparently didn't have our so didn't even say hello, welcome in or someone will be by shortly. prices are very high for such a dumpy place. 2 meat combo at $25! We had to ask not to have BBQ Sauce ON the food from the kitchen. This seems to be a sign that kitchens are trying to cover up dry meat. we asked for our with sauce on the side and they were willing. Chicken leg and thigh was small enough to look like a hen and not a chicken. It was pretty good but even though it was dark meat, it was a bit dried out. Ribs were more dried out. They both seemed like they had just been in the MICROWAVE. Half was cooked properly, small end was dried out and tough. Waiter ensures us they don't use "Chef Mike" but these items were worth sending back but because we were hungry and in a rush, we suffered through. grits had a bunch of lumps in them. daughter thought wings were good. Broccoli was properly cooked but lacked any seasoning. they took 25% off but we wish we had not come here. read more

This was a takeout order during COVID** Was excited for some bbq after a long hike. I asked how long it would take and the estimate was off by 10 min late. The bag was poorly packaged with all the sticky juices all over my bag, spoiled my napkins, and sanitary wipes. Ordered the North Carolina without the bun. The sauce was wayyy to sour and no taste to the cold slaw on it. Sadly did not enjoy my meal. The side of tomato cucumber salad was bomb. Only one server on the job hustling in and out of the establishment and delivering straight to your car, ring up inside, and then back out. read more

Three meat combo $23.50: beef brisket, half chicken, half rack of ribs With two sides: corn bread and potato salad 8 oz. char grilled hamburger- served with our creamy coleslaw and choice of one side $10.50 Extremely juicy burger well cooked as I love holding and squeezing it with my hands which the natural juices dripped onto my plate. Unfortunately, the burger was not accompanied with lettuce, tomato and no pickle. I added Swiss cheese to my burger by choice. I was never a fan of coleslaw. Sweet ice tea $3.25 was entirely too sweet. Left Hand Milk $7 Milk Stout Nitro for my friend is very dark but yum for sweet stout style beer. Service is attentive as my party of three were promptly seated and served. Facilites are relatively clean. Ample parking space. This barbeque has a diner look.
