We could smell the restaurant down the block. We were literally drooling! It's a small spot - jsut a few tables inside and a couple of tables outside. It's colorful and fun. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The chef/owner was super friendly and helpful. He brought out all their house made sauces. The sauces were good but the meat did not need any sauce. The pork belly was melting in my mouth. The brisket had great flavor and was just fatty enough. The Mac and cheese was gooey. The corn bread was perfection. We had a fantastic meal. Would go back again. read more

My sister and I came in and were completely ignored. We stood just a few feet away from the three employees at the counter, and not one of them acknowledged us -- no greeting, no "we'll be right with you," nothing. We waited for about 10 minutes before deciding to leave. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but basic customer service and communication go a long way. Unfortunately, this was an unprofessional experience and we won't be returning. read more

I got there early and wasn't disappointed. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich with baked beans. Pork was tasty (just a touch dry). Sauce was great and the baked beans could have been some of the most interesting I've ever had. I will most likely do a platter next time the bun was a little too soft and fell apart. I ate every bit of it though lol Staff were extremely nice and helpful. I enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back. read more

I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich with bacon and caramelized onions with a small cole slaw side. It was fresh and delicious and the service was courteous. It's a small place with a relaxed atmosphere. I recommend eating your meal right away for highest quality. That being said, I'll definitely be returning. Great job! read more

Looking for something to eat on the way home from upstate. So glad I got off at this exit. First the place is small but clean and accommodating. The staff all super friendly and helpful. And the food was amazing! My party of 4 couldn't decide who had the best sandwich. Grabbed some beef ribs for home tomorrow, can't wait to try them they look delicious read more

FarmEats BBQ gets kudos for their 100% grass fed, locally sourced meats. And their location is a nifty little restaurant on the main drag of Irvington, near the Hudson (and train station). The owner is also very friendly and inviting. He's really doing his best to provide a pleasant dining experience in every respect, and I appreciate this dedication. However, the food is inconsistent. The ribs are small but fantastic, as is the mac & cheese. The collard greens are also noteworthy. But the brisket was lacking. It was dry and shredded and not worth the $16 (per half pound). It felt like I was being served the scraps that would normally be used in chili or on top of a hotdog. The pungent smoke flavor on the chicken was also not to my liking. I think the owner should also serve some actual paper plates, rather than small cardboard trays, which are difficult to use without spilling. Nonetheless, it's hard not to like FarmEats (overall) due to the upbeat vibe and friendly atmosphere. I suspect that weekends may be a good time to visit this restaurant if you're in the area. I also suspect that some of his sandwiches and burgers may be very good. If you're in Irvington, give FarmEats a try but keep your expectations reasonable. read more

This was the best BBQ place I have ever been in my life. I am a chef that worked in a big BBQ chain restaurant in the past. This place is hands down better than any big and famous BBQ place out there. The best Hambruger, spare ribs, brisket, pork belly, coleslaw, chilly and cornbread on the east coast. Everything made fresh, in house with love. It was a privilege to visit this place. read more

I report, you decide. First off, we ordered the chili from the small bites and the menu literally says "our chili paired perfectly with our cornbread". Then I pay in cash and the cashier hands me short change and I said "wasn't this $6.50?" And she said "yeah but I don't have the change." So I guess do with that what you will. The chili comes and I asked about the cornbread and she said "no it doesn't come with it. It's a suggestion". In my opinion, your menu should SAY that, but it doesn't. It literally says "our beef and pork chili paired perfectly with our cornbread". Like if it's a suggestion then add the phrase "add a perfect pairing with cornbread for $x". The chili tasted burned and like it was sitting for a few hours. This was disappointing on multiple fronts and I won't be back. read more

Food and service was excellent in particular the brisket and the homemade cookie. The music being played inside was a vibe. We also had a miscommunication with our order and we were treated very nicely. Even after insisting nothing be done to compensate us, we were more than fairly recompensed. Will definitely be back! read more

Drew is a BBQ BEAST! Top quality products. Go there often for his packaged Steaks, ground beef, and chorizo. Prepared Food is phenomenal- big overstuffed sandwiches ( love the pulled pork) perfectly cooked pork belly, pastrami, and brisket. Get there early because usually sells out. read more

The spot is in a nice little corner near the water. People inside were incredibly nice and helpful for our large group. The food portions were a little smaller than we expected for the 1/2 lbs. The food was good, nothing out of the ordinary. We also go burnt ends and it wasn't really burnt ends. Overall, pretty okay for a NY bbq spot. read more

Place is a must try in Irvington!! Burger was great and fries were perfect (to my liking) but the star of the show for me was the house made ketchup! Way better then then the crap in the bottle 10/10 read more

Good: quality of the meats. Not so good: prices and hours. More of a meat lover's paradise and showroom than a business. read more

Very tender brisket sandwich. Cozy atmosphere with a little indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff.

so I really do try to never give one star. But this was really not a good experience. I've been trying to go to this place for a couple weeks, but the website always says "out of stock" on all the desireable items, even if you refresh the page RIGHT at noon when the place opens. So today I finally decided I'd just call the place and see if that's really the case. I call, and I will say, the owner is very nice. He put aside a pound of burnt ends and a pound of pastrami for me. Roll up to the place, nice little storefront with a few tables, a freezer for frozen meats, and a fridge for drinks. So all that was good. But the price was really out of line - 62 bucks for what I ordered. Okay, it's allegedly farm to table, ethically sourced, etc. Great. If it's good, no problem, I'm happy to pay a premium for slightly less destructive meat practices. But it wasn't good, so yes problem. The burnt ends weren't burnt? Just soft, flavorless pork belly. I like fatty cuts, that's no problem. But there was no flavor beyond fat, no crispiness, so a total miss on the texture, and overall just not what I felt like I ordered. The pastrami had the opposite problem - dry as hell. Nice smoke on it, and the flavor wasn't bad, but completely lacking in fat. I tried it with a little of the mustard that our nice owner provided - I guess that moistened it a bit, but I don't really like mustard. I'm not a believer in condiments being a neccesity for good BBQ - good BBQ meats should stand on their own. I write this review not to slam the restaurant - as I said, the owner was nice and the space was cute. But I do think potential customers should have an accurate sense of what you're trading your hard-earned dollars for. read more

I hate to give a one star review, especially because the owner/ manager is very nice but I think this place needs a reality check and customers have the right to know what they are getting if they come here. We patiently waited 20min to order and another 40min for our food to come out. When it finally did it was not in good condition/quality. Our "fries" were stale, over fried and burnt. The mac n' cheese had green mold on it. There were huge fat caps on the pork ribs and the chicken wings were dry. The sauces tasted old and rotten. The food could be good here but there's a HUGE quality control problem. Most of the food was not eatable. I do not leave these reviews lightly but the staff here is clearly in way over their head and it's not fair for paying customers. I'm not sure why or how this place has so many good reviews. read more

The owner of the shop was in smoking meats and despite the restaurant being closed he welcomed us in and made us two delicious and gigantic pulled pork sandwiches. The pork was mouthwatering and the spicy bbq sauce was a nice addition. They also have. Good selection of local craft beers, including one on tap. We bought some frozen sausages and a steak to take home and can't wait to taste those as well. Such a wonderfully positive experience all around! read more

On paper this place seems amazing. It replaced one of my favorite BBQ places in Westchester, Revenge BBQ. Clearly the owner never ate at Revenge BBQ. Before we start with the bad, let's discuss the good. I had high hopes and ordered almost one of every item on the menu for dinner with my family. The Good - Great sourcing of meat which is grass fed and finished. - NYS based animals. - owner was present at the establishment The Bad - ribs that lacked bones, were dry, and extremely greasy - pulled pork which was over cooked and dry - brisket which was over cooked and dry as well - pork belly burnt ends were literally burnt - the sauce was basically ketchup. It was horrible. The owner should purchase either Bone Sucking Sauce or visit Whole Foods and get Organic Memphis Madness or Kansas City Love and make sauce based on that taste. - the order left off an item and forced me to drive back 20 min to get it. The owner didn't even offer me anything to apologize. - I also mentioned to the owner that I noticed the St Louis "ribs" did not have bones and was told sometimes this was the case from the butcher. What kind of non-sense is this? Overall it was a disaster. I would maybe try to give them a year and see if they get a new cook and the bbq improves but overall this is worse than Dallas BBQ. Whoever reviewed this place early on lied or clearly doesn't know bbq well except for the one reviewer who mentioned that the sauce is bad and the chef should try out new sauce. Exactly. But it was worse. I ended up tossing the leftover bbq. This was a first time ever. Just to show my BBQ seriousness. When my family went away for a weekend w/o me, I bought ribs and BBQ from a bbq place and eat them for every meal for 10 meals in a row (even breakfast I had brisket and ribs). It was awesome. Sure I probably shortened my life by a few years but damn was it good. So being so disappointed by this place was depressing. So sad. Skip this place and go to Tarrytown's Pik Nik BBQ. It's light years better and it's not even the best around. read more

The pastrami sandwich was very good. The roll was tasty and fresh, but the roll is not the right shape for this sandwich as it is too thick and the width does not have enough surface area. The pastrami is smoked properly and the meat is tender The cole slaw is very good and the Mac & cheese has the right amount of gooeyness and seasoning, but the Mac was a little soft. Drew is extremely nice and hospitable. We will definitely be back. read more

I eat a lot of BBQ, and make more than my share in my home smoker. This food was about the worst food in general, I have ever eaten. BBQ or not, it was just BAD! Over cooked, not over smoked because it barely had any smoke flavor. The meat was dry, tough and tasteless. The BBQ beans were not traditional beans, a far cry from BBQ. Not sure how you would classify them. read more

The experience here was just okay for me. I don't loveeee BBQ but my bf really wanted to try it so we did one afternoon. The guy in the front was SO NICE. The inside is small but they have some outdoor seating as well. The inside was really loud and I think it was kitchen noises. I remember having to speak really loudly multiple times to talk to my bf despite being one of two groups inside. We ordered 3 different 1/4 lbs of pulled pork, pulled beef, and pork belly. I liked the pulled pork best and so did my bf. We ordered the sloppy Joe Mac n cheese. I loved the Mac n cheese but could have done without the sloppy Joe portion. My bf loved both parts. We ordered the garlic bacon smoked potatoes and I didn't like these at all. I was expecting more of a fry consistently or something crispy at least but these were more of a soggy mess. My bf also didn't love these. I ordered a cornbread as well and it definitely didn't seem fresh and was a bit hard but did taste okay. My bf got the petunias red ale that he enjoyed. They have some meat in a cooler inside you can purchase which is kind of cool. Overall I didn't love my experience here, but I did see a really good looking sandwich come out when I was leaving so I'd be willing to give it another shot. read more

YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR TASTEBUDS! The owner was super nice, the place was super cute, and the food was amazing. Grass-fed beef & no seed oils is a rarity to come by and this place checked all our boxes. Thank you Drew, we'll be back! read more

Delicious! A large takeout order for eight people was no sweat for Farm Eats! The baby back ribs were a standout as well as the smoked chicken. Sides were excellent - the cornbread and German potato salad my favorites. Reasonably priced too! The owner is a peach of a guy and took such good care of us! This is authentic bar b que! read more

The man who is working here is very kind, helpful and knowledgeable! Clean and cool place, great ambiance!

A couple of days ago we ordered online takeout for lunch. The process worked smoothly and the guys behind the counter were as sweet as could be. We got the pulled pork sandwich, pulled beef sandwich, smoked chicken, slaw, potato salad, and collard greens. As you might expect from their pedigree the meat was fantastic (the owners also run a grass fed/pasture raised butchery). Great buns on the sandwiches and the quality of the veg (slaw, potato salad, and greens) was also first rate. The problem is in the spicing - or more precisely the lack thereof. Thankfully, we ate at a home so we could correct. The slaw and collards badly needed acid and salt. Far, far worse were the BBQ sauces. There was an orange one and a red one and both were insipid - the orange kind of like a mild version of thousand island dressing and the red kind of like a finely chopped red mild salsa. I strongly encourage the owners to travel around and try some BBQ joints (or at least buy some of the more interesting bottled BBQ sauces out there). In a perfect world they would carry North Carolina (vinegar based), South Carolina (mustard based), Texas Hot (balanced with heat), Texas Mild (balanced w/o heat), and Kansas City (molasses based sweet and tangy). Though North Carolina is my favorite (and the granddaddy of American BBQ) they could get away with just offering a good Texas Hot and Texas Mild - their meat is that good. For the moment, I encourage you to buy from them and bring your own salt, pepper, vinegar, and favorite BBQ sauce. Perhaps in the future that won't be necessary. read more

A lovely relaxed corner bbq spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Loved the short rib! Also enjoyed pork belly, ribs and brisket. Collard greens side was very fresh and a good complement. read more

Best...ribs...ever. Baby backs, half chicken and brisket for a family gathering. German potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw and corn bread. All delicious. Chipotle and Carolina sauces paired perfectly. This place is a gem and Drew the owner is very accommodating. read more

some of the more flavorful pulled chicken and pulled pork I've ever had. The food was delicious; we were originally enticed in by the smell and it did not disappoint. the staff was friendly, knowledgeable and provided great recommendations on what we should try! read more

Great BBQ street in quaint, historic downtown Irvington. Mostly a take out place, but has some seating indoors and outdoors with views of Hudson River! Had the beef spare ribs. They were great. Nice work on the cornbread and Mac and Cheese. Highly recommended! read more

Delicious food and the kindest staff! They even brought out fresh water for our dog while we ate. Highly recommend!

Got the pulled pork. No smoke flavor or any flavor really. Based on that I'm not sure I'd go again.

Had a great brisket but my wife had the pastrami which was out of this world. Great location for takeout

Drew greeted me this afternoon with courtesy and professionalism and described the items on the menu accurately. His menu is extensive and tasty. I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality offered to me by FarmEats BBQ. Thank you for your excellence. Andrew Jay Gross read more

They have a very unique spin on burnt ends that are absolutely amazing and worth the trip from NYC. So unique in fact I've no idea why they even call them that because they aren't even close to burnt, much less even dried out. It's closer to a succulent pulled pork but the flavor is so delicious you won't need any sauce. read more

An overall good experience. The owner was behind the counter and was pleasant and helpful. The pastrami was a solid smoked brisket, (not dry as others said) it was moist and tasty. The owner told me the burnt end would be crispy and they were. I would describe them more as a crispy burnt end and not traditional "burnt end". They were out of greens so I had a bowl of beans an kale that was unusual but delicious. I would recommend trying this place read more

I agree with last reviewer. Delicious! I went there really because I needed change of a $10 and decided to just go for the chili. It was time to eat anyway and it was inexpensive enough. Chili is normally ground meat so I expected that. Well not here. There were chunks of meat... Mmmm so good. It was not oily or full of salt either. It tasted more like a variety of spices as a base with a few beans... so delicious. Then I went over to Roctoberfest down at the waterfront and they had a stand there too. Wow! Glad to see they are well in the mix and doing well! Guy who served me in the store who seems to be the owner, is soo nice and even brought a pitcher of tap water to my table. It was just all around a really nice experience. read more

Today I got pulled pork, Mac n cheese, greens, slaw, German potato salad, corn bread, and barbecue sauce. SO GOOD!!!!! They have many more choices. You will be happy if you go here. I am definitely going again. read more

First, what bbq joint only serves grass fed small farmed chicken, beef, and pork! That's all I'll eat! No factory farmed meat for me! Low and slow deliciousness. The pulled pork was superb. I used my favorite store bought sauces cuz I got it to go. Their sauces could use some improvement but the smoked flavor and quality of the meat was a 10. I'm picky about my cole slaw and collard greens. I'm a southerner. I really enjoyed theirs! Slaw was fresh, tasty dressing. Not too mayonnaisey. Greens had tons of sweet and sour. Not overcooked. Light on the meat flavor so a perfect complement to the pulled pork. I really enjoyed it all! read more

Best brisket I've had in my entire life, no exaggeration. The pulled pork and pastrami are excellent as well. read more
