- Huge restaurant with a spacious main-level dining area, a full bar, and a lower level for private events; the restrooms could use more attention and upkeep - Service was mixed: the hostess was warm and friendly, but our waiter was rather nonchalant and inattentive--he never checked on us after the food arrived and even got one of our orders wrong - Food was not quite as good as it used to be: the wings were the highlight--huge, perfectly cooked, and well-sauced; the half chicken was heavily sauced, but the white meat was extremely dry; sides were all pretty standard read more

THE FOOD ---------------- + Sticky Wings - Extremmmmmely sticky, but, very good, tasty wings. Basically these are large honey-basted wings and, honestly, 5 is A LOT considering how big these birds are. = Texas Chili - Just OK. Nothing spectacular about it. It's decent, but not unique in any way. = Half Chicken BBQ Basted - Chicken was tender, but the BBQ baste was just alright. It was a little bit tangy, but tasted a little artificial as in a generic BBQ sauce. Cornbread block was good and the baked potato was, well, just a baked potato. + Half Chicken Honey Basted - Pretty much the same comment as above, but the honey baste was definitely better than the BBQ baste. Ordered the yellow rice as the side instead and it was decent yellow rice. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Food arrived very quick, however, it was more of a product of a lot of the food probably already having been prepared en masse. = Waiter was courteous, but he never visited us once to see how we were doing, nor did he thank us or say goodbye when we left. On the bright side, he refilled our water without us asking and he remembered to bring Take-Out boxes for our leftovers. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious interior and LOTs of tables, including a downstairs private room. + Located in a busy area in the heart of the Chelsea neighborhood. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Visited on an early September Saturday evening and, to our surprise, it was quite crowded at 5:30 PM. We thought we ate early, but NOPE, A LOT of people in the city seem to really like to get dinner out of the way to carry on with their evenings. = A lot of the customers dining in while we were there left relatively quickly and had fast meals, so seems like a majority of customers here are in and out lightning fast! = They take reservations online. CONCLUSION -------------------- = Having been to the Times Square Dallas BBQ MANY, MANY times in the past (like 2 decades ago) it was nice to finally visit one again in the city. As expected, many things have changed, especially the menu, however, the highlights of the menu are still easily the Texas-sized drinks and the wings! read more

Sometimes you just need a piña colada the size of your head. Now they have an even bigger one! The Super Texas-size at 32 oz did me in. They actually made a frozen drink I couldn't finish. Bravo! It's been a while since I've had Dallas BBQ and now I'm hooked. But I don't come for the BBQ ribs anymore. The quality dropped significantly. There's barely any meat on them. It's the fried shrimp I'm here for. I live too far to sate my craving at City Island, Bronx so I come here. 10 nice sized shrimp that come out piping hot. I've also discovered the small Onion Loaf. I can't get thru it in one sitting so I box it up to take home. It's not the best the next day because it's soggy, but hell, it's still edible. Whenever I come the service is super quick. I don't wait for anything. It's a big space, great for large parties. For the size of the place and the amount of people, it's not loud at all. Eventually I'll get up to City Island, but in a pinch, this'll do. read more

Server was a nice person and friendly. They allowed us to switch our seats to a four top instead of a two top since it was only two of us. Food was good. I didn't try the coleslaw but the sticky tenders 10 out of 10 sauce was so good on the right amount of crisp my sister had the chicken wings and she thoroughly enjoyed them. She always gets them at any location. Place was nice and clean . read more

This Dallas BBQ location has been around for a looong time. I met up with a friend for dinner and drinks. On a Friday night, the place wasn't crowded. That was a pleasant surprise. I sat at the bar for a few. The frozen drinks here cannot be beat. My frozen Margarita flavored with strawberry and pineapple was delicious. A shot of Patrón turned it up a few decibels. I ordered a regular size because I never finish the Texas size drinks. I was excited to order the onion tower because it's been ages since I've had it but I probably should've skipped it. It was bland tasting, not as crispy as I remember and the onions had a potato texture??? My barbecued half chicken was also a teeny bit bland and borderline tough. Corn on the cob was hot and really good. My cornbread was dried out though! Our server was really attentive. I took a doggy bag home. Years later, Dallas BBQ-Chelsea isn't perfect but you get great portions without overspending. I enjoyed the complimentary chocolate cake pops. read more

I had a great experience at Dallas BBQ in New York. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the atmosphere was good and very welcoming. I ordered the salmon and shrimp, and it was full of flavor--definitely a highlight of the meal. The cornbread was also delicious: soft in the middle with a slightly crunchy top, just the way I like it. My husband felt the shrimp were okay, but unfortunately the chicken was a bit dry. Even so, the overall experience was positive thanks to the great service, comfortable vibe, and some standout dishes. I'd definitely come back and try a few more menu items! read more

Cool place, been going there for years at night with friends. Good drinks, good comfort food.

Quite possibly one of the worst meals I've had in New York City. That's hard to do. The "BBQ" was tiny bits of pork swimming in sauce. Then a tiny little bit of coleslaw and ranch dressing reminiscent of a neighborhood diner not to mention I asked for French dressing. Unfortunately, there were not a lot of options in the area so I got stuck eating at this place. I feel gypped that I had a bad meal in New York! read more

This was such a horrible dinning experience. Went here after work with my coworkers and I wish we didn't. Our waiter kept leaving the table. He was inattentive to the point he mixed up our orders - brought the wrong food and had to be switched out. He argued back and it was so unprofessional. Our food took way too long to go come out. They don't want to make a simple non alcoholic drink and that was disappointing. It was NOT that busy. To make things worse all my coworkers - including I got food poisoning from this place. Avoid this restaurant and go somewhere that values your money and time. read more

Dallas BBQ - Chelsea - Henny Boneless Wings (5) Shrimp & Wings - Barbeque Near Me - New York, New York

Dallas BBQ has been decent on the New York scene, but the City has moved onto better barbecue in all the boroughs. There was a time when Dallas offered a great experience that could not really be topped in the City. My recent experience tells me it has been left in the past. When you come here, manage your expectations. Nothing here seems overpriced, in fact it's all quite reasonable. However, Dallas is a place that makes their money on volume and the house was packed on this recent Saturday night. Everybody was in there. Service suffered, but not leading with glasses of water was a clear omission. Not returning often enough to check on our table of three was not excusable. I ordered the steak and ribs combo at a reasonable twenty three or twenty four bucks. The fries and ribs were better than the steak. The steak, served over pita bread, was very thin and was more tough than it needed to be. The ribs and fries were both good, but not excellent. It was three or four bones nowhere near a half rack. Do they take the rack and cut it length wise in half to say they met the minimum number of bones? For twenty four bucks, manage your expectations. I had a beer in a goblet. I don't remember the lager, but it was good as an accompaniment to the meal. Thanks for all the years of Dallas keeping NYC in barbecue, but the City has great barbecue spots in all the boroughs now where you'll pay for the quality, flavor and experience. Johnson's BBQ in the Bronx offers takeout rib platters for the same money that'll have you eating superb takeout for two days at home. The bathrooms downstairs were clean enough, but no soap in the dispensers. They have plenty of hand wipes available, the type they give to all the tables when you are finished. Your comments are welcome. 3.0 stars Dallas BBQ read more

The food was genuinely enjoyable, and although a few mistakes occurred during the meal, the staff handled each one promptly and professionally. Their willingness to correct the issues without hesitation showed real commitment to good service. Overall, the experience remained positive, and the quality of the dishes stood out despite the minor hiccups. Because they addressed everything so well, I still give them high marks and would gladly return in the future. read more

They did not provide me with my drinks because of the color of my skin. This is not a good establishment and the food was mediocre. I would not recommend this place for anyone.

This place is in a great location. We went in for lunch. We were seated immediately and attended by our server just as quickly. There's tvs playing old throwbacks and it has a dinner style layout. The menu has a lot going on. It was my first time eating at Dallas BBQ so I went for something simple, fish tacos, it stated it's new on the menu. We also ordered the boneless sticky wings and lemonades. The lemonades tasted like water. I took one bite of the fish tacos already knew it wasn't going to sit well with me. The sticky boneless wings on the other hand were pretty good. I'm sure the drinks are great and if I were drinking I wouldn't mind the food being mediocre and unseasoned. Tried it and probably won't again. read more

Small portions. Food was just decent. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. Sadly, not as good as it used to be. Unfortunately corn bread was extremely dry. Asked for another piece, still was dry. Ugh. read more

I just want to say this place has gone down hill. I came here for lunch with my mom and aunt for the first time in years. It felt nostalgic going back. The place I once thought was awesome was pretty gross on the inside. I asked for a table for three while my mom and aunt parked and we couldn't be seated until they walked in. Might I add, there were over 20 open tables? Distasteful. The honey basted chicken is a classic and fantastic. The cornbread is always good too. Our service was fine but I was getting some serious chilis/applebees vibes here. I did get the early bird special so my meal was $9.99. I also got a side of their Mac and cheese. It was good but nothing to write home about. The cheese was comparable to velveeta ? At the end they gave us what looked like cake pops. I did try one but got some serious red40 vibes. Tasted so artificial. I will definitely never be coming back even though the chicken is incredible. Dirty. Bathroom smelt rancid. Fries were gross. Childhood memories were left at the restaurant today. read more

Well, "Howdy Partner"!! I'd like to order a half rack of ribs with some cornbread! I wouldn't necessarily describe it as a , "rack". I'd probably call it a, "short" stack and I'm not a big eater (thank God, I may have started eyeing my partner's ribs)!! Nonetheless the STACK was tasty! Erica (our server) was efficient, but for Heavens sake SMILE!! Maybe she'd seen her share of ribs and chicken for the day!! Cluck said the chicken and Oink said the pig-please lift please lift up our present digs!! The ambiance can use a pick me up; appears a bit dated. Till the next time, but it ain't gonna be NO half rack ever again!! read more

I sometimes stop in at the Dallas BBQ in Chelsea because it's almost a given that I'll have a delicious and filling meal. This time was no exception. On this occasion I ordered honey dipped chicken over cheddar-scallion waffles. I've got to say that it was so good. I was blown away because I just didn't expect it to be that good. Very tasty, with a tad of sweetness to the waffles, and the chicken was quite crispy underneath a nice honey based sauce. I was impressed, and I'll probably get this next time. Highly recommended! My companion ordered a half rack of ribs, coleslaw, and cornbread. The ribs had a nice smoky flavor to it, and it's also recommended. Overall it was a great dinner at a reasonable price. The tip was automatically added, which is not my preference, but our server was very nice and personable. I'm sure that I'll keep stopping in occasionally as I've always had great dishes here. If you're in the area then I would definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

When I visit New York City I never go home without going to Dallas BBQ's to get my favorite item on the menu. The wings. I have been here many times and everyone comes her for the Hennessy Wings. The first time I came I ordered the Hennessy Wings and the Sticky Wings. I was in love with the Sticky Wings. Personally, the Sticky Wings are better. They also know for there signature drinks. This time I ordered the Hennessy Colada. Believe me when I tell you, you will not be disappointed with the size and price of the drink. There are many Dallas BBQ's in New York and sometimes depending on which one you go to they can be a hit or miss. Consistency is the key but they really hit the mark when I visited. The customer service was great and are waiter was really pleasant and attentive. read more

The drinks were very well refrigerated and the servers made sure the cups were always full. There was barbecue sauce and ketchup. The seats were mostly comfortable. The lighting was alright. They also had salt shakers, because none of the food was seasoned. If you want food, don't go here. Chicken is dry, fries are stale and tasteless, cornbread was dry, bitter, and bland. read more

We stopped by for lunch at Dallas BBQ, and we had the 20z drinks as usual. That's always good. So, I had the salmon and shrimp Platter. The shrimps are delicious. However, the salmon was dry, so I pit some barbecue sauce or some salad dressing on it and tasted much better. read more

Considering the cost and not having plenty of restaurants nearby here, I love this place. Dallas BBQ is not fine dining but it does the job if you're looking to fill your belly with guilty pleasure. We came here on a Friday night and the only down side is that all party must arrived in order to be seated, so if you have that one late friend, make sure he/she knows it. Once seated, our waitress came by shortly and asked us if we wanted any drinks. She was very nice and friendly and I like that. I ended up ordering their honey blasted quarter chicken with fresh cut fries and corn bread and it was delicious. It was the perfect portion and price, considering I paid less then $20 which included tip and tax. Space wise, they do not pack their restaurant where it feels mad crowded. Instead it was spacious and I like that the C/E train was right outside their doorstep too. With all this said, if I needed to be nearby this neighborhood and have to find a place to eat, I wouldn't mind going back. I love Dallas BBQ since I was in HS and I would like for them to stay in business until I'm at the golden age of retirement. read more

I don't even know where to begin. First of all, the service was slower than a dial-up connection. We waited 20 minutes just to be acknowledged, and when we finally were, our server looked like they wanted to be anywhere but there. The food? Disappointing is an understatement. My ribs were dry, the fries were soggy, and the cornbread tasted like it came straight out of a vending machine. Don't even get me started on the drink -- watery and lukewarm. For a place that hypes itself up as BBQ royalty!! this was more like a sad cafeteria lunch with loud music. I came in hungry and left hangry. If you're into overpriced food, bad vibes, and sticky menus -- by all means, enjoy. But as for me? Dallas BBQ, you've officially lost a customer. read more

Like, it was exactly what you expect. When u get steak, shrimp, and ribs for $23, it's an immediate red flag. It was simply, mid. The vibes were great. Nice staff. Not saying don't come. Just temper your expectations. The ribs are definitely the best thing. Shrimp is a hard pass. Steak was just, okay (4/10). I'd get the ribs and steak combo. Fries mid, no flavor. The chicken was scary looking. Overall, it's a 3.5/10 for food, 9/10 for vibes. Won't be back. Oh yeah the onions were awful. But! They come take photos and print them for you. Best part of the night. read more

My mother and I went to BBQ on W. 23rd St. and 8th Avenue July 19, 2025 around 3:10 PM. We had a bad experience. We ordered the 2 early bird specials that consisted of rotisserie chicken and you could have a choice of a baked potato, rice or french fries. My mother also ordered the vegetable tempura as an appetizer. First of all, they never gave us any water and the vegetable tempura never came. Next thing we knew our entree arrived. The food was lousy; it was horrible. We couldn't enjoy it. The taste was horrible and my rice was awful. Chicken was half done. The butter was frozen for the cornbread and the cornbread was not even hot or warm for the frozen butter. We asked for the waiter to come over because we were displeased with the food. We also asked the waiter about the tempura. The waiter was not even aware that we did not get the tempura. We also told him that we were not enjoying the food. This is when the waiter got an attitude and he said "well let me get the manager." My mother also asked about the water, the fact that we do not get any and the waiter said "well you said you wanted to wait for your drinks, but those were drinks not water! They are supposed to automatically give you water at the table. The restaurants that I frequent automatically bring your water. The manager comes over. His name is Mujeeb. We start telling him about the food and my mother mentioned they never bought water over to us and he starts going into this thing about when Bloomberg was the mayor... (by the way Mayor Bloomberg was the mayor in New York from 2002 to 2013 it's now 2025 ...hello!!) That was over 10 years ago we don't need to hear about that and that has absolutely nothing to do with us not getting water. My mother asked the manager for the vegetable tempura, "Can we get the tempura ...well guess what the manager says "we're not gonna like the tempura." He caught an attitude because now he just doesn't want to serve us. Then he said "well I'm not making you pay for the food" but we wasn't there trying to get a free meal. How dare he insult us like that! ....and we were still trying to spend money in the place by asking for the vegetable tempura. Now he comes out and says we are not gonna like the vegetable tempura so at this point, I told my mother let's just go because they don't appreciate us being there so we don't have to stay there and take their crap. If you don't like the food speak up because you don't have to patronize that place and be subjected to food that does not taste good and the fact do not care about their customers. Not once did the manager offer an apology for any of their shortcomings. We are not going back but if you happen to go there and you don't like the food, you should definitely speak up because the place is gone down over the years. It is not good and they are serving subpar food to people who are just sitting there and eating it and taking it without saying anything to the manager but the audacity of this MANAGER is the problem and for him to say that we're not gonna like the vegetable tempura. "You may not like it's no need for me giving you more food." But we have the right to tell a restaurant if we do not like the food if it's not good, and again we were going to pay for the vegetable tempura so we requested it. Also just to let you know we did not eat most of the food. A lot of the food was left on our plates, including most of the chicken, the cornbread, the rice. We only ate a little bit of that stuff. That's how we know it wasn't good. For him to assume that we would not like the vegetable tempura is very unprofessional. It's also tacky and it meant he did not want to serve us. His whole demeanor wasn't good; the way he treated us as customers. He never apologized for the bad food, for the fact we never got water. He never apologized for the tempura not coming out. He said it would just be another free meal. We never got a free meal because we did not eat any of the food. He was very insulting. Also the place had an unpleasant smell to it. read more

Upon walking in we could smell the barbecue and it was decorated nicely for the holiday. The staff that greeted us and served us were very friendly and attentive. We used to eat out here a lot as there was one in our neighborhood, however haven't been here in a while, it will need to put it back in our list of good food to eat more often. We started with the 1/2 order of the vegetable tempura which was delicious. It consisted of several crispy fired vegetables that were piping hot and cooked to perfection. The ribs, friend shrimp and baked potato were served hot with great flavor and good barbecue sauce. The corn bread was hot and delicious! I would only recommend an additional hot sauce that could be added to food other than Franks, but other than that this place was 5 stars for sure. We will definitely be back for some good barbecue. The end of the meal treat of munchkins dipped in chocolate were a nice surprise and a little seeet treat at the end! read more

I feel like I have a love hate relationship with Dallas BBQ. I feel like most people have a love hate relationship with them. However, my significant other's Mom loves the Dallas BBQ. Either she said it was kind of an ambiance thing to people watch or their "fun drinks". We came in this past 4th of July and it was surprisingly packed. This location is always surprisingly packed and I'm not entirely sure why other than that the one in the East village closed about a year or so ago so I guess the city is now limited for getting your Dallas BBQ fix on. I've never actually eaten here up until now. I think maybe ten plus years ago I had one of their fun drinks and gnawed on someone's jack daniels wing from their order and thought the wing tasted pretty decent. First off, the service here sucks. You may be waiting for a table if you come after 5pm for close to 20-30 minutes. Once you get seated, order everything you think you may need and want for the next hour because you may never see someone ever again. I went with a Texas sized strawberry margarita without the shots. It surprisingly still had a pretty good kick to it. For my meal I got the roasted bbq chicken sandwich that comes with fries and coleslaw and honestly for like ten bucks is probably one of the better deals on the menu. The chicken was actually moist and juicy and tasted like real roasted meat and not like a crap chicken breast they slapped on with sauce. I also tried the fried chicken wings without sauce, a piece of tempura vegetable, and a rib and those were alright. The bottom line I think with Dallas bbq is that you're not coming for the food. You're coming for the boozie slushies and getting something to nibble on. But I had a pleasant time until they started banging out 'I gotta feeling' by the Black Eyed Peas. Check please! read more

Since my college days, when you wanted massive amounts of food on a single plate, Dallas BBQ is your place. The original one on 8th St in the Village is gone, but they have expanded around Manhattan and into the Bronx, Queens & Brooklyn. This one in Chelsea has been our backup, since my first job down on 23rd St and made a great place to grab a bite before or after a movie. You can order one of their huge drinks and be happy all night. I really miss the gigantic Onion Loaf. It's like the dinosaur ancestor of the Blooming Onion. We usually have to have 5-6 guys before we order that. You will wonder what species of bird the Sticky Wings come from because they are MaSSIvE! They are almost the size of turkey wings and dwarf anything you'll get at KFC. They are fried up and coated in sticky sweet sauce and you can order them 5 or 10 to a plate. I stripped them down to the bone including that weird piece at the end. Around the table we got the Classic Combo of Baby Back Ribs, Fried Shrimp & 1/4 BBQ Chicken, Beef Ribs and my Seafood Combo of Fried Cod Fillet, Fried Shrimp and Crab Cakes. At first I thought the fried balls were hush puppies, but they turned out to be fried doughy crab cakes balls with pieces of crab in them. Kinda interesting. The beef ribs were big honkers, but I thought they looked way bigger back in the day. Even still, we ended up taking a good portion of it home. read more

Dallas BBQ is a decent American BBQ spot. If you're looking for large portions, come here. We ordered two family portions, a side of corn and cole slaw. The combo meals were huge. The shrimp was very fishy, and not very flavorful. The ribs were not bad, but a little on the dry side. The chicken was drowned in BBQ sauce. The corn we ordered had a huge black spot right in the middle and a lot of missing kernels. I asked for a new one and they gave me one that was not much better. It looked like someone had already taken a bite of my corn. We also ordered some Hennessy wings. This was the real star of the dinner. The wings were HUGE and pretty tasty. They were juicy and definitely worth a try. Besides that, everything else we had was under par. read more

Not sure if she thought I wanted a free beer; but if you're giving me expired alcohol what else is expired back there? At that point I was turned off. read more
