Handsome Devil - Brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Newburgh, New York

Always a great place to grab some bbq. Staff is excellent, the food is phenomenal, the full bar is great I saw a few allocations that will go great with some bbq , the restaurant is very clean. Always a 5 star visit. Plus they always cater my thanksgiving. Love this place read more

*Consider this review to be closer to a 2.5 and not a 3* To start with, the building is cool. Love the vibe and decorations inside. Nice whiskey bar w some rare bottles on the shelf. Service was fast and friendly. Bartender was fine. I got the brisket and wasn't impressed. I know you gotta expect fat but there was a LOT especially for the price. My wife wasn't impressed w her meal either. The BBQ sauce is just ok. Not enough options to spice it up. Cornbread was good. The highlight of the meal were the beans (with chunks of apple!) Delicious. Prices at the bar were ridiculous. Everything was about double or more what they should be / what I normally pay. That left me getting Buffalo Trace for $10 which is still sorta crazy when we can buy a bottle for $30-40 in my area. Stagg for $100 per pour??? I understand it's a slightly rarer bottle but I've never paid more than $35 anywhere. Unfortunately I can't recommend the restaurant but your tastebuds or food order may differ. read more

My husband chose this spot because he was craving BBQ. He ordered the brisket with 2 sides and I ordered the smoked turkey. His meat was on the super fatty side and he was a little disappointed red in to. He loved their baked beans but the temp was like warm. The smoked turkey was good but the temp was also like warm. The smoke turkey comes with a white sauce but I wasn't a fan of it. The corn bread was very good! But corn bread and BBQ goes hand in hand. Overall, pretty good BBQ for the area. read more

Love this place but they only have Bombay Safire gin at the bar. Buy a bottle of Tanqueray and I'll come here every week!

Delicious food and great service!!! You can smell it outside the door! Round of applause for Chef Big L!!! He knows BBQ!! You won't be disappointed! Great atmosphere as well! read more

Delicious BBQ. I'm not a super traveled person but wouldn't expect that quality of bbq in New York State. Don't sleep on the sides too especially the corn bread. Service was great with friendly staff. Highly recommended. read more

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and assisted with how to order. You choose your meat, meal and sides at the far counter, pay, and find your seat. We ordered a pound of brisket, a pound of pulled pork and a full rack of ribs with some sides. We decided to eat out by the picnic table and the same person that greeted us actually came out to see how we were doin - that was nice coz usually you get forgotten. Let me tell you, we were impressed at how tender and moist the meats were!!! - hard to do if you cooked them early and just sitting there and waiting to be served. We do eat at the other two BBQ places around the area and they can be dry. We did comment that it was a little under seasoned for our taste but nothing the sauce can't fix. I loved the bourbon heavy bar, not a typical offering here at Hudson Valley, so if you love bourbon then this is the place to be. The only thing that's missing are the cigars . If you want to taste tender juicy BBQ meats, then head out to Handsome Devil. read more

Handsome Devil - Turkey and brisket with all the sides - Barbeque Near Me - Newburgh, New York

This restaurant is relatively new in this area. There is ample parking, the place is clean and you can smell the smoker doing its thing when you enter. There is a full bar on the right side of the restaurant. You walk straight in and go to the counter to place your order. The waitress was really helpful and explained how the menu was laid out. Everything is ala carte here. I had the brown bag special: beef brisket sandwich, apple pie baked beans (the beans had baked apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon), banana pudding, and a can of pop. The brisket was really tender, and the bbq sauce was good. The banana pudding was good, too. This place caters also. Next time I visit, I will try another option on the menu. Cash/Credit/Debit are accepted here. read more

Probably the best brisket in NY. Great vibes. The bar tender was awesome and she kept up with cool conversations. Very clean and the restrooms were also very clean. Great job guys! Next time I'm in town I will definitely come by. Can't wait! read more

Cons: food was not good at all. Brisket sandwich had a weird texture and worst flavor. Turkey and collards were okay but over salted. Smoked wings were okay but not really smoked. The worst part is the sauces are LITERALLY watered down. A bbq spot with bbq sauce and ranch that tastes like water is just pitiful. Pro: they sell Shiner beer read more

First off the food is outstanding! Second this is truly legit Texas bbq in NY! Couldn't be more proud of Ed and his team! The food is amazing! Flavor on target! The brisket is met in your mouth good! The ribs are outstanding, Mac n cheese is creamy and rich and the potato salad is very good! Great mix of items along with kick butt smoked wings! Worth the drive if you in NY! Looking for a great bar to wash down your food with? They got you covered! Is we why they win so many competitions and will continue to as the food has pure love in it! read more

Really wanted to like this place but it was a hard no for my family and me. First the positives. The bar staff were very welcoming and the restaurant was spacious and clean. The negatives: at 6:50pm on a Wednesday night there were only 3 ppl in there when we arrived which should have clued us to what would ensue. There were 4 of us. We ordered 2 pulled pork sandwiches, one half rack of Ribs, and one order of smoked wings along with collard greens, Mac n Cheese, corn bread, and a slice of lemon raspberry cake. Although the restaurant was empty and one has to go the counter to order, it took us 15 minutes to just place the order. One person took the meat order and another person took the side orders and rang us up. But this second person was also taking phone orders, hence the wait. Meanwhile 2 employees at the bar are just standing there chatting. Apparently, it didn't occur to them to help their colleagues. ‍ We got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. The pulled pork sandwiches and cake were cold. The Ribs lukewarm. The sides and wings were appropriately hot. The pulled pork had ZERO seasoning. It was totally bland. The Mac n cheese was worst than Krafts. The greens were passable except for the hunks of hard but rather tasteless smoked meat in them. The cornbread was nothing special. The Ribs were not tender, but they weren't fatty either, so they would have been fine except for no seasoning. The BBQ sauce was the ABSOLUTE worse...it had clearly been watered down. I'm from the South. I know BBQ and all the sides.This wasn't it by a long shot. The cake might have been okay but it was cold. So we boxed up all food and gave it to a homeless guy at a light near to Walmart. This was the high point of our evening Seeing this poor soul smile. The we went back to our BnB and went to bed hungry. . read more

This restaurant is not cheap but the food is honestly so delicious! I love how they smoke the meats right in front of you, you can't get fresher than that! It is a bit confusing when you go inside how you are supposed to order. You go to the grill first to order your meats, then you go to the register to order your sides and you pay. Then you walk to another spot to order and pay for your alcohol. I think this should probably be streamlined a bit better but thankfully the staff is awesome! Everyone was kind and considerate. There was a bit of a mix up with my food, not a big deal at all but they were so nice and apologetic. The atmosphere of the restaurant is a cool vibe. It's open seating more like picnic style but it goes along with the theme. I ordered the wings and they were soo good! You get 6 wings for $9.50. A little pricey if you ask me but they were amazing! I've had the bbq sandwich prior to this visit and that was good as well. A small sides are $4.50 each. I ordered the the Thai Chili Cauliflower which was Bomb! Like I am dreaming about this cauliflower. It was so good and meaty and just amazing. Having the combination of both, it was a very filling meal! I also ordered a cocktail, to be honest it wasn't my favorite but I just think it was a matter of preference and not an issue with how it was made. read more

Another awesome experience, the folks behind the counter were so gracious even though we came in only about 15 minutes before closing AND even threw an extra rib in when my son said how much he loved them. Every time I come here, the service is exceptional and this is the best BBQ in the county (I'm no snob or aficionado but will absolutely die on this hill) For my meatless friends, their crispy cauliflower is not to be missed! I'm continuing to work my way through the menu but everything so far has been great, even their desserts! read more

Handsome Devil - Bar and food pickup - Barbeque Near Me - Newburgh, New York

When we pulled in I was surprised, because it's away from the more "populated" area and in a little area with a bank? But the ambiance and vibe of this place is cool. The bathroom is beautiful. But that's not what you're here for, is it? The food was.....okay. I would say I enjoyed the Turkey the most, followed by the brisket. Brisket was peppery, with a nice bark. Pulled pork was cold and greasy. Ribs were chewy. I assumed the onions were pickled, and maybe they were supposed to be, but they were just....wet onions. No vinegar or sweetness, just....wet and strong onion flavor. The pickles themselves were pretty good. The sides and desserts were the saving grace - the apple pie baked beans LEGITIMATELY taste like apple pie filling. There were apples in the beans. The banana pudding was a little sweet for my taste, but it was good! The sweet tea was decent too. The guy that took our order/heated our food was super nice, the woman that we paid less so. I don't think this review is going to hurt them, they definitely have the feel of a neighborhood institution and were busy. They appear to win competitions with their BBQ (but competition BBQ isn't the same as eatin' BBQ...) but I probably won't be back (it was an hour+ drive, sorry!) read more

Absolutely legit Q at this gorgeous smokehouse. Perhaps the best brisket I've ever had. cheddar jalapeño hotlink was delicious as well. Smoked Wings were fantastic. People were super friendly, and what a really well stocked bar, with many of my hard to find bourbons. Wish I wasn't so darn far away but anytime I'm up in this area I'm gonna make it a point to try and stop in and get some delicious barbecue. (Generous portioned sides too!) read more

Very spacious, family style layout with the generous bar and wide open parking lot. That's just the first impression. I got to say they got some very generous servings even of Texas style barbecue being handed out over at this place. Probably some of the best greens that I've ever had of the collard type. Can't really go wrong with anything you order here as you can see from the tray in the pictures below. Easily share between two people. Bartender came by and checked on us a few times to see if we needed A refresher on the cocktails and the folks serving up the food were very courteous and friendly. Definitely would come back again read more

This place should absolutely have 5 star stars. The ribs fall off the bone. The pulled pork is very flavorful, I guess you have to have grown up with grandpa and uncles barbecuing in the back yard with a house with of family. When you taste food and you just think about home it should always be 5 stars! Definitely come try the sweet tea, pulled porked, Mac and cheese, baked beans, collard greens, corn bread, brisket burger, and THE RIBS read more

Staff was super friendly, nice ambiance, very clean, need to put on some music very large area creates and echo. Food is good, Mac and cheese, corn bread all good. I would prefer the ribs and chicken to be a bit more soft like falling off the bone. That's was probably the only bad thing. Other than that everything was very enjoyable. read more

I hired this venue to cater a work event back in 2015 and really enjoyed the food. This was back at their old location at the ice skating rink. I recently used door dash for delivery which I will say was delivered very quick. I ordered Pulled pork, Brisket, Mac n Cheese and baked beans. Ok, here's the run down... the brisket cuts were top quality, moist, but lacked seasoning. The outside bark was really bland, no salt at all. Same thing for the pulled pork. There was a good amount of meat but the seasoning or rub was just not there. The Mac n Cheese and Beans were tasty, no issue at all. Lastly, the bbq sauce! I was hoping that the sauce would add some flavor and heat, instead it was extremely watery and did absolutely nothing. I hope that was a bad batch because a good sauce is the heart of a good bbq joint. Overall the meat cuts were top notch, just lacked flavor. I had brothers a few weeks back and liked their meat flavors/rubs but they are over priced for the quality and the amount of meat you get. read more

Really terrible. I've been to some really great barbecue places all around the southeast, but I manage my expectations in New York, just like getting pizza in South Carolina. This was bad by any standard. Got takeout on a Friday night, a half rack of ribs, collard greens, Cole slaw, and corn bread. Came out to more than $30, which is high for barbecue. When I got there I waited on line for 5-10 minutes for a counter that had a giant "ORDER HERE" neon sign over it, only to be told that you pick up to go food at the bar. Seems weird but ok. Waited another 10 minutes to get my food from a bartender that seemed annoyed that I was picking up my order. Fine, it's a casual place, whatever. When I got home and opened the box that the ribs were in, I knew it was going to be terrible. They were covered in creasote, a black, bitter, oily substance that is a byproduct of a dirty smoker, not enough airflow, and/or smoking food with bad wood. Basically the stuff that builds up in your chimney. It ruins food and numbs your tongue when you eat it, and it's the mark of someone that has literally no idea what they're doing. The menu said St Louis style ribs, but I don't think they were any style, they didn't have any seasoning or sauce on them at all. Just pork and tar. Anyway, the sides are the best part, so who cares. But the Cole slaw was literally nothing, just raw cabbage with vinegar and sugar. It tasted like something you get as a free side at a chain restaurant. The corn bread was dry and bland even with butter on it, and the collards tasted pretty good, but they were full of sand and pork cartilage. The audacity that the owner of this place has to be selling a cookbook while serving this kind of food is crazy to me. I get it, we're in NY, there's not really any standards or competition for this kind of food around here, but if you're gonna do it this badly just don't even bother. read more

Handsome Devil - Ribs, Cole slaw, corn bread, and collards. Note the black tar on the ribs and the side of plain wilted cabbage ($4). - Barbeque Near Me - Newburgh, New York

I've been coming here since they opened. The owners, and staff are amazing. The food, I cannot even begin to tell you how good everything on this menu is. I have eaten just about everything on their regular menu. Their brisket is my favorite. Cooked/smoked perfectly. I have never had better brisket anywhere else. The sausage links. Smoked Turkey, ribs, sides, desserts, everything is spot on. You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. Best BBQ in the area for sure. read more

First off. When you walk in this place it is full of attention to detail. The people that work here worked very hard at making this place. Every small detail is cared for. It makes me feel like they care about me (the customer) As well. The food is real. It's good. It's cared for. I like it. I feel lucky to have this place in the town I work. I look forward to coming back. I could tell you what I loved. But who cares about my Taste. Your taste is yours. BBQ is so subjective. It's more art then pots and pans. I love good BBQ. I love Austin , Franklin and Black are both great. I've even had a brisket from Franklin shipped here from Goldbelly, so I know the story of BBQ. I don't envy owning a place in the BBQ world. It's never your own, always compared. The people working here are different. All were so nice. I spent 15 minutes at the end of the night talking about life and weight loss with the great guy serving the meat. That's what makes a place special. Not that a smoke ring was too narrow. Go where people care. And they care here. Good luck with the place, especially during this pandemic. I'm rooting for you. One star reviews are punitive and give some sort of power to people. Take them with a grain of salt or in this case with a ring of smoke. read more

Brother's is definitely better IMO, as far as local spots go (I still got a few others to visit in Beacon and the local area). I ordered some food here when they were set-up at an event in 2022. I believe it was a beef brisket sandwich. It COULD HAVE been good, has it not been 95% sauce, with 5% tough beef and .01% bread. I mean it was literally baptized in BBQ sauce. I'm all for sauce, I love it and it's essential for me when ordering a brisket or brisket sandwich, but I ended up with more of a mess than an appetite filled and it didn't live up to the hype. I have to be honest, that alone made me not give it another shot and I doubt I will. For what it is worth, at least the sauce was good. read more

This "New" place has some BOMB a** barbecue, It's a very welcoming country style place inside and out, I made spur of the moment plans for lunch with my husband because we've been patiently waiting for this place to open. Soon as we arrived we were very kindly greeted by Ed (who may be the owner) asked us if this was our first time there then explained the menu way of different meats and sides which I thought was nice!. I am a HUGE bbq fan, and I have high standards LOL! ... We decided to try all the meat combo ( I love how they cut the meat in front of you) , So we ordered all except the turkey, it also comes with two sides, I got the Pork ribs with green beans & mac and cheese. The ribs and the brisket were full of flavor it was moist, tender & just melts in your mouth good; The green beans was amazing that alone can be a whole meal by itself packed with lots of meat and great flavor. The Mac and cheese was above average but nothing to rave about (because my husband makes the best Mac & Cheese LOL! ). My absolutely favorite has to be the beans, holy moly, I enjoyed it so much I ordered another one to go!, My only complaint was the corn bread it was very bland and under cooked. it definitely was not worth the price I paid, for the record in other BBQ joints the corn bread comes with your oder. The banana pudding was ok! Overall Customer service was Amazing we enjoyed the dialog we had with Ed from time to time we also liked how he checked up on us. absolutely one of the best spots in Newburgh. We'll.Be.Back read more

We got recommended this place by someone working at the vintage emporium and Wow this is some of the best barbecue I've ever had! You can see where they cook everything outside and the minute you walk in you're hit with the aroma. It was easy to order and the guy making the plates handed me some meat over he counter to try as I waited. I liked that it was counter service because it was super quick. I got the pulled pork and when i tell you it MELTED in my mouth. My advice is to skip the mac and cheese and just go all in for the cornbread. And the best part of this is: I don't even really like barbecue that much. read more

Tried handsome Devil at a BBQ festival in Manhattan. They had a pulled pork sandwich from a whole hog roast as well as a pastrami sandwich. Both were good but I favored the pastrami sandwich. Presentation of the whole hog was great. Loved that they were pulling bits of meat right off the roast in front of us. read more

I've been a competitive smoker for close to 40+ years now and I have to say "Definitely one of the best BBQ places in the North East." The brisket was "melt in your mouth." Pulled pork was great. Ribs were very good but honestly a little over-smoked almost all ring ( I suspect that this is because great fresh thick ribs for smoking are getting harder to find.) Sides - Mac 'n Cheese excellent, Thai Cauliflower great, and the baked beans good ( a little too sweet for my personal liking.) The portions of food are more than adequate. The restaurant is beautiful, organized, and clean. The staff are helpful, cheerful and make you feel wanted. It reminds me a bit of Pappy's in St. Louis (certainly would give them a run for their money) and Lucella's in Asheville, NC. If there was one thing they could improve on it's to offer variations of sauces for those who want it on the side. But in the end an excellent BBQ house and definitely at least 4.5 stars ( but Yelp won't let me give the extra 1/2 star). We'll be coming back the Handsome Devil. read more

This place is the REAL DEAL! After reading a few negative reviews, I had my doubts. I decided to come see for myself and i'm glad I did. The place is fresh and beautiful, lots of firewood stacked around the building with a huge pit outside. Enough of that, let's get to the food. I ordered the ribs, hot links with a side of mac&cheese, apple beans and the cole slaw. The ribs were so tender with a caramelized sauce, so so good, The hot link was delicious, nicely spiced. The mac and cheese and beans were cooked perfectly. The cole slaw was nice and crunchy in a good way. I',m a barbecue judge with KCBS and i've judged many barbecue competitions. These ribs could compete with the best of them. I will definitely come back for more. I'll try the brisket next, because brisket is hard to master. Stay tuned for my next report. Oh yeah, the beer was ice cold. read more
