I used to love coming to this location but after my experience this past Saturday, I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!!!!!! First the silverware was filthy and gross. Secondly, when me and my friend got our orders, both of our steaks were severely over cooked and bland. It was so bad that my friend sent her entire meal back and did not want another order. Lastly when I ate my leftovers from the restaurant on Sunday, I got food poisoning that lasted from Monday until today. The only positives were the excellent service from our waitress she was amazing (who was dine n dashed by a couple in her section), the wait time for our orders was quick and the drinks were delicious and strong. The next time I would ever go is for drinks and wings. read more

Dallas BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Bronx, New York

I have been visiting this location since it opened -- however most recently the service has declined considerably! Yesterday my dine-in experience was the worst ever! To start off, my friend and I were seated in an area which was very crowded, we asked for a booth, & were told that seating is based "on rotation" basis -- whatever that means. Then no waiter/waitress for 10 minutes, we finally flagged the "manager", who took our order immediately!!! Our order arrived in a timely fashion, however the pita bread with the ceasar salad was stale, and the chips with the Guac was also stale. We again flagged the manager, Lazaro, who apologized for the stale food and said "perhaps next time will be better"!!!! Guess what Lazaro??? My friend and I will NOT be returning!!!!! read more

Dallas BBQ - Horrible experience at Dallas service bad & cold food and wierd drinks - Barbeque Near Me - Bronx, New York

Great service. That's why I like eating here, the staff is always walking around. Very quiet. There's always a table at anytime of the day. read more

I'm from MA but my wife wanted to bring me here last Saturday because it's one of her favorite spots. After we left, I couldn't figure out why in the world she liked this place so much. (Maybe the drinks) The food was low quality for the price. I had the NY steak with baked potato and it was very disappointing. The potato was small and over cooked. Most of it was hard and unappetizing. The steak was a very cheap cut of beef and thin. There was so much gristle in it that I only was able to eat maybe 70% of it. I'm sorry but for a plate that cost over $20 I expect a decent cut of beef. Oh, that's not all, that $20 plate only got you the thin piece of barely edible steak and a small baked potato. One of the things I tried was their frozen drinks which my wife raved about. They even had a sign that said they had New York's most famous piña colada. There's nothing special about it. Taste like any other piña colada there was nothing special added to it or special about it. This doesn't include the fact that there was a cockroach running around the table that had to get killed by our party or the multiple flys that were Flying around our food. In fact the waiter brought us our bill then went back to bring us a new bill with 10% off for our original bill for our "inconvenience with the cockroach", yet his tip remain the same despite the reduction in the bill amount. (Down to the penny!) I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT. read more

Went to lunch here with mt friend today and the place was rather empty so no reason for us to have bad service.We order our drinks and the service effie forgot my friend extra shot. After we told her she both is over right away. We ordered our food because we akready knew what we wanted. After we got our drinks she nerver came back to check to se if we was okay.The our food came out and e everything tasted good. Being that it wasn't so busy i figured that our server would have been more attentive but she wasn't instead she stood by the bar with the rest of the server as they just stood there talking instead of checking in on the guest. I'm a huge tipper but i refuse to tip for lack luster service especially when the place wasnt that busy. read more

I was very pleased with my order. The Babyback ribs were perfectly cooked, the baked potato was hot, and the cornbread was delicious as usual. Thank you for a pleasant experience in eating. read more

If I could give a -0 I would. Very disappointed in the service and most of all the food. I had the house special which was ribs , sirloin steak and shrimp, baked potato and corn bread with a coke. The presentation alone should have been a red flag but I wanted to try. I regret it . I did eat my 4 shrimp and baked potato and part of my corn bread but the most important part of the meal was not edible. The steak tasted horrible had no seasoning, I didn't touch the ribs after that. I called the server over and told him this was not edible I did not like the food. He took my plate and basically did inventory with the kitchen person. He came back with the check and had charged me for my 4 shrimp that I had eaten $6.00 and $2.99 for my coke. My niece had chicken and fries and her chicken was also not edible as it was fatty and not well made. They also charged her for her complete meal. I wasn't looking for free food as I liked this restaurant when I went to the time square location but I would NEVER recommend this location to anyone. I have never experienced an inventory on the plate of food and charged for items separately. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT read more

Didn't taste like the ribs were seasoned. It was a huge slab of meat falling off the bone but lacked all flavor. The chicken tasted rotisserie style and was drier than my grandmothers ashes. The fries were unsalted and the cornbread was dry. Would not recommend and def won't be back. read more

Sticky wings yummm are delicious they really big I wish they were a bit smaller or chopped up make sure you get fries to dip in the sauce and always grab a drink !! read more

Yo, the service was horrible waitress took forever with my family's food. Waitress didn't really know the menu was recommended things that were horrible, messed up my order and on top of that she added her tip to the check. $15 tip for bad service. Drink was fire.. read more

AVOID THE WORST SERVICE EVER!!! So I ordered from this particular BBQ located at 281 Fordham Rd. In the Bronx and after waiting an hour plus for the delivery it was canceled "five" minutes before arriving. I never received a call apologizing for the inconvenience especially after they made me and my family wait all that time for our dinner. The lack of professionalism, leadership and customer service is unbelievable. BBQ should be embarrassed to be represented by this particular store! I will say it from now you, you have lost a client forever. I will be more then happy to take my patronage to one of your many competitors. read more

One of the best Dallas BBQ's I've been too. Whenever I arrive here, it's quick seating, prompt service and pleasant employees. The paper menus are usually waiting at the table so I can immediately choose what I want if I'm hungry or in a rush. The parking is convenient if you can find a spot on the sides or behind the building. During the daytime hours it isn't too busy and I know I can guarantee get a seat without the hassle of waiting. I enjoy the drinks and the specials here, it's always tasty and enjoyable. The seating is pretty nice towards the back, can see a nice overview of the Bronx. It's pretty quiet, nice flow of air and a nice layout. The advertising is easy to understand and nice pictures. I let the waitress know I had 30 minutes to spare bc on break from work and wanted to know if service would be prompt. She let me know I did have time and was efficient with service and was able to eat, pay and leave within 35 minutes. Pretty good for a New York restaurant to do, so I appreciated that and would def recommend this place for any occasion or reason to go. They also have pretty good prices on drinks and the portions of food is good as well, you will be full and satisfied. read more

My family had dinner here yesterday and within 5 minutes of leaving my sister fainted and my mom was sick immediately. They had the same meal and drink. We think they either had food poisoning or from the liquor. We will never go back here again. read more

So My brother, sister and I order from here and they took literally 2-3 hours to bring the food and when it came he only had one thing. The store wasn't very helpful either they basically told us there's nothing they can do overall I was disappointed with them and they were my favorite restaurant. read more

You do not come here for a fancy experience. You come here when you're on Fordham Road and you don't want McDonald's or Burger King and your boyfriend gives you the staredown of doom every time you (jokingly) bring up Applebee's. You come here for cheap as hell pina coladas with extra shots. You come here for big portions with good enough food that isn't authentic but it'll do... burgers and chicken are good. I'm not a fan of steak or ribs much. Last time I was here the service blew but last night lucked out and got a much better server. Brotip: This place gets PACKED. It gets so packed that there's a bouncer outside doing crowd control. I kid you not. Also when you wait you get a number. read more

Possibly the nicest looking Dallas BBQ I've ever stepped foot in. The Host and Hostesses were pretty friendly, but the girl who took my carry-out order was so nasty that I will never go back. First she makes a point of demanding my ID when I paid for my order with a credit card. I've frequented Dallas BBQs all over New York City and this is the first time anybody has asked for my ID. Minutes later when the guy comes to the counter with bags, nasty girl barks at me because I dared show my receipt after she told me my order would take 20 minutes. The other girl took over after I shook my head and said I was never coming back. My order was ready a minute later... My first and last time ever going to this location. read more

I am a fan of the BBQ franchise. I've never had any issue with the ones I've gone to (besides the occasional bubble guts.) This location hasn't been around that long. It used to be Jimmy's Bronx Cafe. I had lunch with 3 colleagues and was disappointed. The food was horrible. I had the chicken sandwich lunch special...no taste. My colleagues had the veggie bean burger. One of the burgers had plastic, PLASTIC stuck inside. Seriously?!? I left feeling blah and wondering why I chose to eat here. The only thing that saves this from a 1 star, is the service. Dude was on point, attentive and kept us relevent. Other then that. It wasn't a great experience. I was embarrassed for recommending it for lunch. Thanks Bronx BBQ. This is why people don't take the BX seriously. read more

I prefer this location whenever I want to avoid the crazy crowds. I go not long after it opens. The food is super fresh (as expected) and the drinks never disappoint. The superman is my favorite drink! texas size with an extra shot, please :-) read more

From the age of 15 until 20, BBQs was in my top 10 favorite places to drink in NYC because; 1- they serve Texas sized margaritas 2- the few times I've been ID'ed, they've never scanned my fake. Mind you, they've stopped being one of my top 50 places to eat somewhere around the age of 10, because of the weirdness of it all; the boiled ribs, the lack of a dessert menu, and my stomach's tendency to evacuate its entire contents the next day. But still, I would still go there with my fellow under-aged friends, because.well, who doesn't love a cheap buzz? Plus, when shared, the appetizers were always enough to 'set the foundation' for a night of serious drinking. Now, as an adult, I'm so over this shit-show; the inevitable wait, the fake boiled ribs, the never-changing menu, the those tiny lil wet-wipes that are neither *WET* enough nor do they *WIPE* off enough saucy residue from your chin. Yet, for some strange reason, my mom wanted to do dinner here. Ever since BBQs opened a Fordham Road location in the Bronx, all she ever talks about is the convenience. "But it's so close-by!," she'd cry. And yes, a 15 minute bus-ride may be geographically desirable...but not when it's BBQs, cause I wouldn't eat there by choice if they were a 15 second bike-ride away. But for some strange reason, I decided to humor her and caved in last Sunday. And to my pleasant surprise, this BBQs was pretty spacious. Yet, like the rest of them, poorly designed - who/why the fuck tries to plan square tables in a round space? Because of this, we switched tabled 3 times, in order to avoid the distinct sensation of being sandwiched in by lovers and celebrating families. By the time we got settled in the only non-oppressive booth meant for 2 people, I was able to notice that our waiter, though sweet as sugar, was severely overextended and simply had too many tables than he could handle...while other waiters on the other side of this rotunda-like restaurant merely stood around and watched Family Guy on the plasma screens that encircled the room. Whatever, as long as my food is hot, I don't give a shit. So we proceed to pig out, via; -Two texas-sized pina coladas with the extra test-tube shot -Fried Shrimp -Onion Loaf -Pulled Pork sammich with fries (YUCK!) -BBQ burger (read bacon, fried onions and bbq sauce with cheese) .and this was a classic case of our eyes being bigger than our stomachs (or maybe our brains taking over our stomachs), because we barely touched 1/2 of our order...plus this shit is NASTAY!!! I also remember the drinks being *MUCH* stronger when I was a wee lass growing up; but after finishing my pina colada, the only buzz I felt came from the inane amount of sugar I just happened to slurp down. The only note-worthy thing I can mention is my surprise at the bathrooms being handicap-friendly, which is/was a change from most of the other BBQs in the chain. Other than that, it was a ho-hum experience, and nothing to write home about...or even yelp about. read more

BBQ's is usually my boyfriend and I's pit stop for a quick meal whenever we're around. I've been to this specific location before and had no problems. I'm really not a fan of the food but my boyfriend likes it so I settle. Well a few days ago I picked up my boyfriend from the airport and stopped at the Bronx location on our way back upstate and when we got there at 11 AM it was closed. There's no hours posted on the doors or windows to let us know that. We saw servers running around inside so we knocked on the door to see if they could at least tell us when they were opening but no, we were ignored. We sat in the car for 30 minutes after calling and seeing that they open at 11:30 am. Now onto our server... Everything was okay at first. We were the first customers of the day, we quickly placed our order, my boyfriend ordered a drink (he was not ID'ed by the way), I just got water and a soda. Our "server" never asked us if we wanted a refill, she didn't even bring us our food, someone from the kitchen did. I would understand if they were busy but there was only two other couples there, really? We quickly ate, tipped a few bucks in cash, and was on our way. This morning my boyfriend checks his bank account and sees that this trashy server of ours STOLE $10 from him. She wrote $10 herself on the credit card slip as if it would go unnoticed? We are not cheap, I am an server myself so I understand and the service from this girl was horrible which is why she only got a few bucks and clearly she didn't deserve anything more being that she stole from us. My boyfriend immediately contacted the manager, Barry I believe his name was, and he was awesome in resolving this. He refunded the $10 and gave us a $25 gift card which wasn't necessary but appreciated which is why I gave it 2 stars because really I just want to give it 1 but that wouldn't be fair. I hope that shady chick got terminated. The 42nd street location is the best IMO, it's always busy, but we're always seated within 10 minutes when we arrive and we receive our food in a timely manner. read more

This Dallas BBQ location was formerly Jimmy's Bronx Cafe. It was good then and it's not so bad now. Circular and sexy in a hood-ie type of way. Cool views of the Major Deegan expressway (if expressways are your thing) and a few BX high rises. Dine on all your Dallas BBQ usuals-messy burger platters, barbecued chicken and ribs and tasty little appetizers like Angry Shrimp. Recently, I tried the salmon steak with a side salad for physical sexiness reasons. Although it wasn't the rack of pork ribs with fries that I was craving, I wasn't disappointed. My salmon was tender, skinless (yesss) and not at all salty as I assumed it would be. I wish I could add another 1/2 star for the fact that my boy from work and I weren't rushed through our meals by our server as is the case in most Dallas BBQ restaurants. read more

LATE REVIEW. WAY TOO LOUD. I went with my family and it was PACKED with people. So loud that I couldn't even hear my sister across the table from me. I wish to never step foot in that place ever again. EVER. We went because my dad really wanted to try Dallas. The food was alright. Very.. heavy. VERY. We ordered the minimum "family" style option but it was way too much even still. Which is ironic because the waiter was like "seriously..? that's all you're getting for four people?" I don't know what the heck he was thinking.......... And yes. I grew up in Bronx and I'm used to being the only Asian amongst a room of "non-asians." But even still.. we were seriously the ONLY ASIANS-- at least when i went. I'd appreciate some diversity please. It was cool though. The waiters were really friendly and attentive. :)) The taste of the food was delicious too. :)) The spicy buffalo wings, the prime ribs, loved the fries and onion rings! Oh and their margaritas are gigantic. My mom ordered one. They spike it up like none other though.. so if you drove, do not order one. The only problem I had was the loudness. Seriously.. it was way too loud. It's not even a club or anything. They blasted the music so people raised their voices which made everyone else raise their voices. In conclusion. If you just want some heavy bbq food with minimal talking then try this place out. If not, go to a different. QUIETER restaurant. read more

I love the food here. It's always hot and fresh and their delivery is really fast. I would definitely recommend eating here.

I've been to every Dallas BBQ in New York and this is by far the best one. I don't care what the stars say - the Bronx BBQs is the BBQs that makes you feel the true experience of eating at a BBQs. A mix of different minorities, all of us in one place that's kind of remained an in-the-know kind of experience even though it's so popular. Idk, hard to explain, but I have really good memories associated with this place. I really don't care for the barbecue food here, but that's alright because we all know there's only one reason to come - HENNY COLADAS. I don't even enjoy drinking that much and I will body 2 Henny coladas straight on my cheat days. They're all I think about when I know I'm going to splurge. Paired with Henny wings, I feel so insanely guilty the next day I want to cry, but it's always worth it because they're so bomb. This BBQs makes them WAY stronger than any of the others, too. Keep that in mind. *winks* read more

10/30/2011 It was really good. I was here on the west side of Fordham, It is actually right off the Major Deagan. This is all the way down fordham. I am usually by the other side where the 4 train is. This location used to be Jimmy's Bronx Cafe back in the days, and the bathrooms here are still pretty fancy. I guess they kept it the same. The ribs looked really good but I didn't get them. The burgers actually looked good too. I ordered the Half Chicken BBQ flavored with Crispy Shrimp. Definitely not a bad option for $12.99. Sticky Wings are usually my favorite to order at any BBQ's (honey basted). I look forward to coming back here in the future. In 2011, I believe this was only the third time at any Dallas BBQ location. -Texas Size Drinks- Wild Berry or Strawberry Daiquiri are the way to go. Didn't get ribs this time, but it is one of my favorites. Next time I gotta go for the HENNEY Wings as well for a starter. It was a good crowd for a sunday evening. My group had 10 people and we did not have to wait long for a table. We had cake and everything that we brought ourselves, it was a birthday celebration for a friend. **Only if you are in this bronx area I guess. I mostly go to the one on St. Marks or the one on 72nd and 3rd or right in that area. read more

Dallas BBQ - Bull Dog! - Barbeque Near Me - Bronx, New York

Man...this might be the best BBQs...think about it... -there are ALWAYS seats! -it's easy to find -parking is reasonable -they have tostones!!! We all know the pitfalls of BBQs...but if you want a big sugary cold drink and really saucy food, c'mon...you come here! There were five of us...four Queensians and a Manhattanite. Service: Our waitress checked on us about 4 times in the first ten minutes after we got our food. My girlfriend asked for blue cheese and she bought her an ample portion with a spoon, not a tiny little plastic cup. Our drinks came rapidly. Ambiance: Giants vs Cowboys game on all screens, every seat had a visible tube. Clean bathrooms, wild west art everywhere. Food: We got Hennessy wings...honestly they could've been HOTTER. But they were good. We got pita bread to go with em...ehhh...could've been hotter as well, they could've wrapped them in foil like they do with delivery and brought us butter. My boy got tostones...not bad! Not homemade but it's a obviously a nod to the Puerto Rican-ness of the Bronx, it came with the little orange 'Ketchup-mayo' sauce. These four stars are it's status amongst all the Dallas BBQs. Overall it'd be a three star establishment. The only five star BBQs is now defunct. It was the NYU location, they had the BEST BEST BEST food ever, and it looked like a school cafeteria which somehow captured the correct attitude of Dallas BBQs...a bastardization of BBQ to impress the student body aged patron. read more

Miguel, my server, was the best! Ask for him when you come to this location. He's very charming and will be very attentive. He is quick to recommend what to order while catering to what you say you like. Also try the Frozen Cosmo; it's really good. read more

VERY SLOW SERVICE. Came there tonight with my mom And niece to celebrate a bday. Sat at the table at 8:00 and did not get our server until 8:20. He came by and said he would be with us in 2 min. I set the timers and didn't see him for another 19 min. Waved down another server and he said "the 2 min was just a figure of speech" WTF. Saw the manager sitting down doing nothing. Then when the server CJ finally came to the table he said "they were short staffed" Nothing was offered for us waiting almost 30 min to get our order taken, whole experience was a disaster. NEVER GO HERE AGAIN! read more

The restaurant is nice and the food is good. We were a group of 7 on a Sat evening and had no problem finding a parking space or seating. There was only a couple of things that I did not appreciate. The bottom of the plate was dripping with sauce when the waitress brought it from the kitchen.Secondly the waitress (Judith) told us she could not split checks however we were in earshot of the table next to us where the waiter was asking how the party (much larger than ours I might add) wanted there checks split. Also on the receipt it says gratuity is charged when there is a party of 8 or more, Ms. Judith added her tip though we were only 7. Also the fisherman's seafood plate was meh (not fried hard enough), my advice stick with what they are popular for, honey wings and BBQ ribs and chicken. read more

Pro: Place was not packed. My steak was cooked to perfection and the fries was a large portion. Food came out rather quickly. Cons: Waiter was horrible and never came to check in on us. The place was dark, there were no lights near our table. The area isn't the nicest. I've probably eaten at every Dallas BBQ and even though the waiter was horrible and the area is questionable, this is the best BBQ's. The food is good and the wait for a table isn't hours. If the waiter was more attentive I would have given it 4 stars. read more

Place sucks! Period! The manager needs to learn how to support his team and provide customer service! Get it together.

Great food. I liked the ambiance and environment. Try to go on the weekdays, less packed and the waiters bring the food rather quickly.

Portions are huuge. Drinks are huuuuuuge. Prices are good. I approve. read more
