Stopped in for a quick lunch and the place was packed. I had plenty of room to sit at the bar and was attended due pretty quickly. Highly recommend getting the bucket of beers that you get five for $20 and grab something off the menu while you're sitting there. Generally, I grab a couple of appetizers to share between for today. We thought we'd go for the platter and sample a little bit of each, but it turns out it's good enough for one person and not much of a sharing plate so we ordered a tray each. Highly recommend if you want to try a little bit of everything Plus two side dishes. read more

Brothers Barbecue - Dave's collection - Barbeque Near Me - New Windsor, New York

Yelps rating scale: 1 star: Not good 2 stars: Could've been better 3 stars: OK 4 Stars: Good 5 Stars: Great A Taste of North Carolina in the City: High Smoke, Mixed Hospitality If you are looking for authentic barbecue with roots straight out of North Carolina, reportedly run by three brothers from the state, though we didn't spot them during our visit, this spot has the craft down, and it is definitely one of the better BBQ places I have been in NY. Still, it misses a few foundational beats when it comes to true Southern hospitality and comfort. Atmosphere & First Impressions From the outside, you might easily mistake the restaurant for being closed. The windows make it tough to see in, and on a rainy day with the outdoor seating empty, it feels a bit hidden away. You are greeted by a wonderfully comfortable waiting area featuring plush sofas and a seating bench. I also really appreciated seeing such a diverse crowd of customers dining here, which is especially refreshing to see for this area. Be warned before you walk through the door: bring a sweater. They do not skimp on the air conditioning; they blast it! On the positive side, the bathrooms are immaculate while keeping that traditional, classic BBQ joint feel. Seating & Service When we arrived, I requested a quieter area due to sensory sensitivities. We waited a bit and were ultimately seated right next to the noisy bar. It looked like there was a cozy little nook past the fireplace that would have been ideal, but it had a laptop sitting on it. Even for a Sunday supper, keeping areas like that closed off when a guest needs a quieter space felt like a missed opportunity. Our waitress was working double duty as a bartender, so she was straight to business. She was efficient enough to give us what we needed, but lacking that warm, conversational touch. At the end of the meal, we weren't thanked for coming in but told to drive safely. We were accidentally overcharged for a fountain soda we never ordered. While the waitress corrected it when pointed out, there was an absolute lack of an apology. Taking responsibility is part of the package. The Meal: Highs and Lows The Cornbread: Starting off, the meal kicks off with complimentary cornbread, but it comes with a couple of caveats. Depending on how you were raised, cornbread camps are deeply divided on sweetness. This version is very sweet, crumbly, and honey forward. It is almost tasting like a boxed Jiffy honey mix with some extras. Unfortunately, it was cold and served with ice cold, solid butter that wouldn't spread. If you want more, it's $2 a piece, a detail they really ought to mention upfront rather than leaving it as a surprise. It is nice that they give it complimentary but they are banking on you consuming it and when you get your BBQ you want more but have to pay. It would be nice to be upfront about this. The Meats: The barbecue itself delivers. The meat is smoked nicely. We sampled the pulled pork, brisket, chicken, and sausage, paired with table-side salt, pepper, and just one single type of BBQ sauce available on the table. The Sides & Fixins: The baked beans were good, but the sides could have been much hotter. The collard greens had a noticeable crunch from the stems and consisted strictly of greens without any pieces of pork or turkey mixed in. I liked that it was not too salty for my liking. As for the mac and cheese, it lacked that signature baked cheese crust on top as seen in photos online. Visiting around 5:30pm on a Sunday evening left us wondering if we caught the tail end of things or were served leftover portions. Tableware & Details The tableware leaves room for improvement. Aside from the metal meat trays, everything is served on melamine (plastic) plates rather than real ceramic and you are each given a cloth napkin. Furthermore, guests are only given butter knives, and the cutlery could definitely be elevated to better enjoy the experience - especially to ensure proper access to napkins for a messy barbecue meal. Drinks & Hospitality The Sweet Tea: The sweet tea is sweet and good. However, you are not offered a refill here. For a Southern style spot, not offering a complimentary or even low cost refill on sweet tea felt neglectful and impolite. It's a small touch of hospitality that goes a long way. With roots that spread throughout the south, I have not experienced this even consuming BBQ at home in NY. Other Drinks: Cocktails run around $16 a person (which made neighboring tables wince a bit at $32 for two drinks), but I thoroughly enjoyed a cold Shiner beer straight from Texas. My beer was $12 tall boy and COLD. Ultimately, despite a few missteps with the sides and service, they have the smoking technique down well. True Southern hospitality is about making folks feel welcome, warm, and genuinely cared for from the moment they step in to the moment they leave, and bringing more of that heart to the dining room would elevate this place immensely. read more

Brothers BBQ was a short ride from the Storm King state park I visited. Hostess was very nice and greeted and seated quickly. Staff bought menu and drinks quick as well. Didn't have to wait long for food. Make sure they bring your cornbread. That was sweet and hot. Got the brisket nachos and the pulled pork sandwich with candied yams. Brisket was very tender and sweet. Very tasty. The pulled pork was moist. The yams were cooked perfectly, nice and soft. It has a very comfy feel with lots of cute decorations. Feels like a warm ski lodge. read more

Brothers Barbecue - Fried Chicken Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - New Windsor, New York

Came here today to celebrate my mother's 89th birthday,this is by far one of her favorite restaurants. She loves that cornbread am yams. The establishment couldn't have been more helpful in making this celebration a success from the hostess Stacy who even got in on the fun on helping to surprise my mother when she came in to assisting Our wonderful and bubbly server Cayla, who was a true delight and so attentive to be sure we had everyone we needed. There was also a gentleman there who was just as attentive especially to mom. As always the food was on point, nothing disappointing here. Thank you staff for making mom's birthday unforgettable. read more

I enjoyed eating it, but getting up at 2 AM to take my blood pressure medication because my head was pounding as a result of all of the salt they poured into this food, was not good. But that's how it is with every place that sells barbecue or soul food. I'd eat it again, but I go real easy and be sure to have apple cider vinegar after you eat. read more

What a shame. Your food is good but you REFUSE my Service Dog!! Not good. You can't refuse Service Dogs and will be reported. Just lost a customer and I hope more customers that own Service Dogs!!! read more

I've eaten at Brothers BBQ a handful of times and I feel confident enough at this point to tell you about it. Now this is just my opinion, so don't get crazy. Compared to other bbq in the area, I believe Brothers is a winner. The food quality is great, and techniques of prep and cooking are perfectly mastered. The brisket has a flavorful crust and it breaks apart with a fork. The baked beans have all the right stuff to make them excellent. Baked Mac and cheese is BAKED. The chicken falls off the bone and smoked perfectly. Candied yams are perfect and you can actually taste the butter that you're SUPPOSED to bake into it, (they're the only ones who make it right) in my opinion. We ordered an appetizer of "burnt bacon ends", and so much flavor, and fall apart with a fork. The cocktails were potent, so beware . Did I say enough about the food? Even the service was great. One of the owners even swung by to see if we needed anything. If you haven't already gone, go. It's a nice relaxed atmosphere, and sometimes has live entertainment. You'll love it. read more

Brothers Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - New Windsor, New York

Pretty good barbecue for upstate NY. If this were anywhere in the south I would probably rate it lower. Enjoyed the fried pickle appetizer - crispy and not too greasy. We split a 3 meat plate with ribs, pulled pork, and sliced brisket. The ribs were probably the best item - tender but not mushy. Lots of seasoning. Pulled pork was acceptable - I'm not the best judge as I prefer brisket and ribs over pulled pork any day of the week. The brisket I would say was on the drier side. Collards on the side were delish too. I think they have a little something for everyone. If you're craving southern style bbq, this will scratch that itch but probably leave you wanting something a little better. read more

Food was amazing. Got the Uncel Dave's. A platter of all the signature meats. Pulled Pork was a bit dry but adding the sauce on top made it. Ribs fell off the Bone. The Cornbread was so delicious, im not a big Cornbread fan. Our server was very sweet and nice. Very attentive and fast. read more

Had stopped going for awhile because the food wasn't as good the last few last times I ordered. My family & I decided to give them a try for Easter. Made reservations & was seated as soon as we arrived. Friendly staff,our waitress was great & very attentive. The food was DELICIOUS!! The complimentary cornbread,which we ate up too fast for me to get a picture, was served nice & warm with a side of butter. Everyone's food was well seasoned & cooked to perfection. Plenty of seating, welll lit restaurant read more

Everything we ordered in the restaurant! The service was excellent! We're going back today!

Came in for a family dinner on a Friday night. I really appreciated the hospitality and how welcoming the environment was as soon as we stepped through the door. Decor that fitted the ambiance of a homey feel, tranquil and easy going. Music playing, not too loud so we may have a conversation without yelling. Our server Amanda was polite and informative on the menu. Once we ordered the food came out promptly and everything was delicious. We order a brisket sandwich and the shrimp po poy, the brisket was tender and savory. The shrimp sandwich was fresh and well balanced. The baked beans and Mac n cheese accompanied our sandwiches very well. Everything felt like it was a home cooked meal. Our son really enjoyed the pulled pork and fries (usually y he's a very picky eater). I believe the owner was making his way around the restaurant making sure everyone was good or if anyone needs anything. We really appreciated that because this is the place we have visited where that has happened. Overall we had a wonderful dinner and an even better experience. Definitely will be coming back. read more

So we've been here a few times and have always had a great experience. Last time we went was probably 2 years ago or more and it's evident the place has slipped a bit. Walking in they were not busy at all, maybe 2 or 3 other tables. We stood at the hostess station and after a minute 2 girls came over and messed with the seating chart for a few minutes - no acknowledgement that we were standing there. Not cool. Finally one looks up and says how many. No hello, no how are you, no thank you for being patient while we ignored you, just how many. So I said 2 and was led to a table. I think I got lucky here as they placed me in front of a fan. The dining room was uncomfortably warm - enough to make me sweat a bit. How they have a restaurant at that temperature with no complaints is a mystery. The waitress came and asked for a drink order. I asked the lady what they had on tap amd looked annoyed and stated, "I have them written down." as she plopped a hand written index card in front of me. Quite tacky and rude in my opinion. At least read them to me if you can't memorize them. Unprofessional and not a good look.... Pretty much the waitress maintained the blah IDGAF attitude the entire meal. But anyway... I got a brisket sandwich and my better half the chopped BBQ sandwich which was SUPPOSED to have cole slaw on it. Guess the cook forgot. My wife is very non-confrontational and didn't tell me until we had left. We both chose Mac n cheese as a side. My sandwich was outstanding! The brisket wasn't fatty and had a delicious smoked flavor. The BBQ sauce on the table was the perfect condiment. Although my wife enjoyed her sandwich she was disappointed about the cole slaw. I tasted the pork off her plate - it was really good. It's a shame they screwed it up on her. I expect more for a 20 dollar sandwich. The complimentary corn bread os the best I've ever tasted. All in all the restaurant was uncomfortably hot with lackluster border line rude staff, but the food is tremendous. I hope my complaints were flukes, because the food is great there. But there are way too many restaurants to deal with the attitudes the staff had and an overheated dining room. I'll go again, but if it's a repeat performance I will never go back and spread the word about my experience... read more

ZERO Stars for Customer Service I've eaten at Brothers BBQ in New Windsor several times before and always found the food excellent. Unfortunately, my visit today (April 12, 2026, around 3:44 PM) was very disappointing. When my family and I arrived, the young lady at the counter walked away, and we waited about ten minutes. A tall light-skinned gentleman came to the register but completely ignored us while tapping away. After another five minutes of being ignored, we decided to leave and ate at Texas Roadhouse instead. I'm very disappointed in the lack of customer service today -- especially since my previous visits were great. I hope management addresses this so future customers don't have the same experience read more

Barbecue done right. I love barbecue food and so does the Mrs. We were recommended here by a friend after we went somewhere else and it was a pleasant surprise. read more

Finding a place to eat when you're on the road and have an egg, dairy and gluten allergy is almost impossible. I wish I got the name of the lady who helped us this evening. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and was able to accommodate me accordingly. The only thing better than the service was the food. The chopped bbq was savory and the sauce made it sweet with a little bit of spice. The brisket was moist and tender. If I lived near here, I would get it every week! read more

I ordered 2 burgers from here the other day and was very dissapointed. First, on their website for online ordering it had stated it comes with lettuce tomatoe onion and fries. Once you select it, it then asks you to pick a side and a type of cheese. When I got home I realized the burgers only had cheese on them and no fries, only whatever other side we selected. I called back explaining my confusion about the sides but mostly my upset that the burgers had no topping other than cheese. The girl on the phone was nice and said she would let her mangers know... Then, my mom bit into her burger which she had asked for to be medium well and it was totally rare. I called back once more and the same girl took my number abd said her managers will give me a call back soon. I waited and waited - a whole day and a half and never got a call. This is not the first time I have eaten here and I actually have enjoyed the food here before. But, I won't be eating here again after the way this was handled. read more

Best BBQ I've had in a LONG TIME!!! Their brisket was tasty, their chicken was well seasoned and crispy, and their Mac and cheese was amazing! To top it all off, their cornbread is by far the best cornbread I've encountered. Keep up the great work! I can tell this is a family recipe! read more

Really a 4.5 star but an excellent lunch! The highlights for us were the brisket which was juicy and the fried chicken which was perfectly crisped, highly flavorful, juicy and piping hot because it's freshly prepared on order (almost burnt my fingers!). Sides were all tasty and excellent as well. Ribs were good but for us it wasn't the standout amongst the other really well prepared meats. Friendly family-owned joint that's clean and warm. Will keep this spot in mind when in the area. read more

Enjoyed a delicious feast at Brothers BBQ in New Windsor. The parking lot is very spacious, as well as the restaurant with lots of tables. The place has a very southern vibe and is decorated with a lot of pig/animal merchandise which was cute. Ambiance rate 7/10. My family and I ordered ... 1. Brisket Nachos: - These were good, especially the meat they topped it with was extremely savory and delicious. Rate 9/10. 2. Corn Bread: - This is complimentary. The bread was nice, soft, and yummy. Rate 9/10. 3. Eat Like The Brothers Family Style Barbecue: - This included brisket, pulled pork, fried and broiled chicken, 2-3 full racks of rib, and 3 sides. The pulled pork and ribs were ok, nothing special: rate 7/10. The chicken was seasoned well, and the meat was very savory: rate 8/10. The brisket, however, was the star of the show. It was perfectly juicy, fatty, and meaty: rate 10/10. - The sides were ordered were the mac and cheese, french fries, and potato salad. All which were mediocre. Sides rate 5/10. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. We didn't have to wait long for our food (about 20 minutes). Service rate 9/10. Overall, I would definitely come back to have their brisket again. However, for their other selection of meats, I wouldn't order again only because I've tasted better elsewhere. read more

Ryan was my server and he did an excellent job! very friendly and attentive. I will be coming back and sitting in his section! thanks Ryan

The atmosphere of Brothers Barbecue is most inviting. The lavender lighting gives you a relaxed feeling and their choice of music was very enjoyable and not too loud. The hostess was very nice in accommodating my family right away and the service was excellent. My parents had the Smoked Brisket and Aunt Edna's Fried Chicken. I had Aunt Caroline's Fried Shrimp, which I cannot believe I did not take a photo. The portion sizes were perfect. The cornbread was a hit, and my parents took some extra for hopefully breakfast, (but I doubt it will survive tonight). Additionally, we took to go a Red Velvet slice, which we were told are made in-house. Brothers Barbecue is located on the top floor of the Palisades Mall, near Target, and I highly recommend it to everyone. read more

Whenever we are in the area we always stop in for some great BBQ and friendly service. This location is about an hour from home, but worth the trip. My go-to is the smoked chicken and rib combo, but my real favorite are the sweet potatoes. I have begged for the recipe, but no luck so far. My friend enjoys their smoked BBQ baked beans and potato salad and although her own homemade cornbread is the amazing, we do like the cornbread served here with your meal. I have also purchased their BBQ sauce, which they make for the restaurant. it is so good! The last time we were there the waitress was so engaging and kind . . . it made for a very lovely, delicious meal and visit. Service is very quick and efficient. So, if you are in the neighborhood or have to drive a bit to get there, go! The smoky BBQ aroma outside will draw you right in. Enjoy! read more

I was very happy to make this stop on our way home, and with great reviews, it happened. We were seated upon entering and didn't take long for the waiter to come to us. The waiter was actually a bartender, who didn't really have a great personality throughout the whole experience, but it didn't turn off to be rude after all. The place started to fill up within 5 - 10 minutes arriving. Right from the menu, the burger stood out, and I had to go with that. The Brothers Classic was what I went with, coming with fries, because I wanted to stay on the low cost side. It was pretty tasty all around, especially the meat being juicy. I finished fairly quickly and was satisfied. The cornbread we got before our main meal was tasty also. I'd enjoy making this stop again, because there's a lot to provide. read more

Brothers is hands down one of the best BBQ places I've ever been to. There is a classic BBQ smokehouse vibe with pigs everywhere lol Everything on the menu is a home run as far as flavor and taste. The meats are perfectly savory and smoked, the mac & cheese, buttery cornbread, even the French fries are delicious! The staff are always super nice and welcoming - love it here. We are regulars and bring our friends often. Definitely recommend even over Billy Jo's! read more

Brothers Barbecue - Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - New Windsor, New York

Do Not waste your money here! They only carry 1 "bbq" sauce and it looks/tastes like melted jelly. The iced tea is see through meaning it tastes like water and the service is trash. The server rolled her eyes when we didn't want an appetizer and the food came out cold and our server was MIA when I was looking for some sort of sauce. Customer service is not hard. But there it apparently is. $50 down the drain. read more

We stopped by for lunch on Friday when the restaurant opened. The restaurant is a cozy friendly place with the tables spaced nicely apart. The waitress was very friendly and we were seated promptly.

The salad was enormous (I took half of it home). Warm delicious cornbread and butter was also served. read more

So delicious and a surprising dinner stop on a road trip return ride. Service was excellent. Brisket was one of the best I've ever had. Ribs were smoky and peppery.
