    My favorite BBQ spot in NY! The food is amazing every time. Everything on the menu is full of flavor, the brisket and pulled pork were tender and juicy while the sausages had a nice snap to them. I definitely recommend getting the brisket and ribs. The ribs are a little dry on its own but goes great with their various sauces provided. Fette sau is located outside so dress appropriately for the weather. They have heaters in the winter and fans during the summer to keep things comfortable.

    Bbq was good. No wait. Had the pork belly, brisket, ribs and sausage. Corn bread and Cole slaw as well. Side dishes were just meh. But I was there for the bbq. Staff was friendly.

    Really solid BBQ, some of the best I've had in NYC (though still not as good as Texas BBQ imo) We got the smoked pork belly, brisket, and the bison ribs with a side of the broccoli salad. You basically walk in and just order your meats and sides via a counter and then find a place to sit, pretty standard for a BBQ joint. Everyone was super friendly and gave recs on the meats + sides, and I appreciated being able to sample the sides before picking. As for the meats: the brisket was pretty good. It was slightly less juicy and tender than I'd like, but definitely satisfies the craving. The bison ribs had great flavor but were really tough to get off the bone. It was also probably the most expensive in terms of meat per lb since the price includes the weight of the bone, so I'd recommend skipping this one. The real star of the show was the smoked pork belly. We were considering getting the pork ribs instead, but boy am I glad we got the pork belly - it was the best of both worlds. Flavorful and smokey, but still super juicy and tender because of the high fat content. It paired really well with their mustard BBQ sauce which was a bit acidic and helped cut through the fat.

    Berkshire Spicy Pork Sausage Brisket and pickles soooo good!!

    Great bbq spot in Bedford :) There are some cute outside table and inside :) we were party of .. more than 10 but it fits perfectly and very chill with the cozy atmosphere. The servers gave up great suggestions and had amazing Shredded pork, pickles and everything. The special cocktails was delicious. Honestly I love their Potato salad lol I miss that already!! You should definitely check out!!

    Very good meats overall and definitely digging the atmosphere here. I do recommend the brisket and spicy sausage, they're exceptionally juicy. Huge selection of beers, wines and cocktails to complement the meat sweat. Fette Sau is just a great spot to hang and enjoy a conversation. The staff is super chill and nice. Parking just like any other place in Williamsburg is a bitch. It's a hit or miss with street parking.

    Weird. No line on a Sunday. Service is quick enough. Ambience is garage butcher shop. Dark with lots of wood. Maybe it was the combo of beer and food but the BBQ was underwhelming and disappointing in person, mainly from lack of flavor. Ordered most of the meat items and a good selection of sides. Wings were satisfying. Brisket was dry and lacking in flavor. Pork belly was decent and indulgently rich. A takeout portion of pork ribs showed me that the flavor is there. Maybe it was failure of the rack we happened to have in person. A takeout beef rib remained tough and over salted. Not exactly a full redemption. For the price, it's quite disappointing. In the decade that has passed since I last came here, NY's BBQ game has leveled up. The wider availability of BBQ basically removed the need for me to come to Brooklyn, with my last pilgrimages being Delaney BBQ and more recently Hometown BBQ. For a Manhattanite, there isn't enough quality to justify the effort required to get here.

    The BBQ is pretty good. Fette Sau has lost the hype it once held way back when and on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, there were no lines. Our group ordered a variety of meats and sides to sample. The meats were tender and juicy. We ordered the brisket, ribs, and sausage. The broccoli salad was a nice balance to cool you down and add roughage. There were large communal tables and benches and rolls of paper towels available. Solid lunch option.

    The cashier was very nice and had a very pleasant attitude. That alone made me order $40 worth of food for lunch for one person. However, the food was a whole nother thing. For starters, the brisket was a bit fatty with no seasoning what so ever. I am a connoisseur of bbq and was expecting it to be on the lines of Hill Country (NYC), Hometown (Red Hook-Brooklyn), Meat Mitch (Kansas City), or Brad's BBQ (Oxford, Al) but it wasn't. I had the coleslaw and it was bland as well. The pork sausage was okay but was a little over cooked. The baked beans were not good at all. They were of the consistency of thick chili. Needless to say, I packed up my food and brought it home to give to my husband because I wasn't too pleased with the taste.

    Have been meaning to come here forever but was always prevented because it used to be cash only. After hearing that they take card I immediately made plans to go with a friend. I already had a sense of how ordering works but the staff was great at explaining that meat is ordered by the half pound and sides are by the quarter pound. For two people we did three meats (beef brisket, pork ribs, chicken wings) and two sides (brocolli salad and beans). It was plenty for two people and we even had leftovers to take for the road. I preferred the ribs and wings to the brisket, as the brisket was a tad too fatty for my liking. Although if you plan to have a drink or two alongside your meal, it cuts the fat pretty nicely and makes for a good pairing. The beans were definitely the best out of everything. I made my way pretty much through the entire serving, even though I have ibs which says a lot. I just couldn't help myself! Brocolli salad was also a good choice since its citrusy and the acidity balances out all strong flavors from the meats. For drinks I opted for a manhattan followed by a smoked old fashioned. The manhattan was...very strong. Don't know if I'd get it again but the smoked old fashioned was great!

    Pretty good BBQ and probably as good as it'll be in NYC. The brisket was fatty and moist, the ribs were tender but a little dry and the pork belly was really tender. Everything had a nice char on the outside. Overall very good! The bad was the sides, which were a complete afterthought. Bland, boring and nothing stood out. Probably would have been best to just skip and stick with the proteins

    My favorite is brisket and burnt end baked beans. The service is quick and efficient, you order what you want and they prepare it immediately. It is mostly outdoors and indoors do not have AC, only fans, so I would avoid coming here when it's crazy hot.

    Came as part of my 30 city 26 day food trip inspired by the food network feature of the brisket. Unfortunately it was not offered that day but the pork belly was fantastic. It had an aggressive outer char similar to a brisket or pastrami. Cooked to perfection! The variety of sauces though did not really add much to the dish as I found myself eating it plain.

    I went on Memorial Day, but I called in advance as the hours on the website were different from the special hours posted on Yelp. No reservations can be made as it's first come, first served, and first seated. It makes sense. You come in through what seems to be the back open seating area. Go in through their entrance and have to line up to order food. Ppl usually have one person go up and order and reserve a seating area. But it's suggested that you get your food first. They're open for lunch and dinner normally. All the items on the menu aren't all available. You'll know when you arrive. When I went, we ordered the Berkshire Pork Belly, which tasted really good. I definitely recommend this one. The pork ribs were second best. The beef brisket wasn't that great, I wouldn't get it again. The only side that I got was the potato salad which is surprisingly dairy free, the Dijon mustard, onions, chives, and Yukon potatoes tasted great. It was a great addition to the meal.

    No not even outside. So many other dog friendly spots in Williamsburg: You will get yelled at if you even try to sit with your dog

    Do they have any chicken options?

    yes. but why would you want chicken when there are so many great non-chicken options? :-)

However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
