    HUGE establishment right on the waterfront. The servers were so attentive and extremely nice. Special shout out to Joe who paid for our meals honoring my military boyfriend - that was such a kind gesture again THANK YOU. we will definitely be back this summer because the food here great! And they have a menu for all kinds of dietary needs.

    Cheers!

    Overall it was a fun and exciting restaurant experience. Lots going on including a dining area by the water. I'm told they do line dancing nights here. The ribs were definitely soft and tender. Good quality

    YUM!! The atmosphere is very homey and the food was delicious. Also, this place is in such a nice spot as the outdoor seating is just beautiful. The employees are also very nice and this is the second year I've stopped by!

    This is a nice rustic place by the water that is absolutely HUGE on the inside and on the outside. Too bad we visited for the first time in the winter and missed out on deck dining by the water. Can't wait until it gets warm so I can come back and dine outside. Now, my husband and I love BBQ and we have eaten at a lot of BBQ places: Meat Mitch in Kansan City, KS; Hometown BBQ in Brooklyn, NY; Fette Sau in Brooklyn, NY; Hill Country BBQ in NYC; Brad's BBQ in Anniston, AL and Billy Joe's is at the top tier of the list. The service was excellent. The general manager and the waiter were nice, friendly, and kind. My husband ordered bbq ribs with braised greens, baked beans, and coleslaw with cornbread and sweet tea. I ordered bbq brisket sandwich with coleslaw and a Pepsi. Both of us agreed that our food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be going back.

    Love this place!! Came here a while back with my friends and decided to stop in again. The service was great! Jay was very attentive/friendly and had great customer service presence. We ordered the chicken sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese, and the chicken fingers with the kung pow sauce, and sweet potato fries. Everything came out in a timely manner, and Jay was attentive and brought us refills on our drinks as well as waters without us even asking. Food was delicious! We opted for the banana pudding dessert which was also very very good! This place is awesome, there is ample parking outside, and a great view.

    Today, I'm sharing a delicious BBQ restaurant with a huge patio and beautiful views - Billie Joe's Ribworks. Located about 90 min north of Manhattan on the Hudson River, Billie Joe's reminds you of a Southern smoke shack that was dropped next to a river in the mountains of New York. They have a HUGE patio area right on the water, the views of the river and Mt Beacon were beautiful! They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait on a busy evening. They also close at 9pm and turn into some type of dance club The portions were very generous, the staff was friendly and attentive and the food was pretty solid! Ordered the Meat, Meat and More Meat - smoked brisket, smoked sausage and pulled pork. The platter was more than enough to share, which is exactly what we did! Cornbread was a little dry and dense, but all the meats were delicious. Beans were spicy and tasty, but a little sweet. Cocktails were well poured and not lacking on the booze If you find yourself in the area, I definitely recommend a stop!

    Five star vibes, three star food. Look, you don't come here for the best bbq you've ever had. It's fine. You come for the waterfront, the music, and the bar. Get the calamari, it's actually very good. Everything else is whatever. Service is super friendly and it's a really fun summer spot.

    Today is the second day in a row. Had jerk chicken and pasta. Today was Bronzino and ox tail. So…read moreyou know how I feel about their food. I am Korean and been to a lot of countries. Liked jerk chicken and ox tail. Their food is a level up and service. My husband just told them we are coming back tmw. No need to write anymore???? The seasoning is so authentic and right on. Even the fish was so good I was chewing on the head ... lol We scraped off the leftover ox tail seasoning home , hoping that we can use the sauce to mix with rice at home. Omg..... it's soooo good Everything

    Being out of the country for Mother's Day, I was unable to celebrate my bride's day,I've heard good…read morethings about AAT, so I decided to take my bride here and I'm so glad I did. My wife loves oxtails so I knew she would order it and she truly enjoyed it accompanied with rice and peas, very tender and moist. I decided to try the Jerk Chicken which is accompanied by rice and peas and cabbage. Now this chicken is authentic jerk chicken it's not for the faint of heart. My wife tried the Lavender Ginger lemonade which was also very good. Our server was very nice and efficient always had a smile on her face and a young man came over also with a smile and asked during our meal was everything ok. However a different young lady brought our food over no smile and acted as though she was angry with us. I stated my wife gets the oxtails and her expression never changed, and when she returned to clear our plates her expression never changed nor did she ask was everything ok.our original server returned and asked was everything fine and gave me the check, I was pleased to give her a 22% tip. She definitely earned it and as we were leaving the sour puss face smiled at wifey and said have a nice day. I hope her change in attitude wasn't because she will get a portion of the cheerful server's tip. The ambiance is upbeat and cool. People think they're nothing good about Newburgh but AAT is shining bright light of a restaurant in this city. Make it your business to go and check it out.
