Quick service with friendly staff. It was pretty quiet when we arrived on a weeknight. Plenty of seating to choose from, but the inventory was limited. Many of the items on the menu were out of stock. We tried the pulled pork sandwich, short ribs, Mac and cheese, and cheese fries. Everything came out quickly and was delicious! read more

Located in industry city which building i can not remember but u can't miss it. The service was friendly and fast...maybe too fast. The French fries were not cooked all the way very light skinned and hard. Besides the French fries every thing else was pretty good. The baked beans were sooo good! They were a lil spicy, full flavored and the bacon pieces made even more delicious. The jerk rib tips were very tender and tasty! I like those better than the Korean sticky ribs. The sticky ribs were good just way too saucy for me. I will definitely be back for the pastrami sandwich. The chef came out and offered us desert which was key lime pie. The mini pie was tasty. Overall a good time and I do recommend!! read more

Whenever I am craving BBQ, I always go here. It is always so consistently delicious and high quality. My favorites are always the brisket (suuuuper tender!), corn bread, mac+cheese & mashed potatoes. Their sauces are amazing and makes the brisket even more delicious! Tons of seating inside & cool decor. Staff was also very nice & attentive. read more

This dirty cafeteria gives the phrase, " THE FOOD WAS POISON, and SUCH SMALL PORTIONS" a new meaning . IT ALSO COSTS A FORTUNE. The ribs (only two to an order-nothing else on the plate) were greasy, and tasted like they had been stewed. They had zero flavor of smoke. The Brisket was half fat glob and half dried out leather. Cornbread was cloyingly sweet. Cole slaw was ok but outrageously expensive. Everything was doused in Malden salt - a cheap trick. A simple order at the counter proved way too difficult for the gruff staff to get remotely right. A measly meal for three cost $125. We left hungry, nauseous and angry. read more

Great BBQ spot that is now in Industry City in Brooklyn. Been to the Red Hook location and this one meets it on par. Great brisket. Smokey tender and deliscious. The pastrami sandwich was also a must order. Tender and tasty. Great mac and cheese, cole slaw, and you must use their bbq sauce on any of the bbq items. Will definitely be back and a recommend to all. read more

Shorter review of the short review- Brisket sandwich is my recommendation. The wings and rib tips are also very tasty. This is a popular BBQ spot that I have been to a couple times which unfortunately had some dry meat the second time I was there. I would recommend going on a weekday as otherwise, the lines can be a bit prohibitive though that is the case for most of Industry City. If I was to recommend one thing, it would be the Brisket Sandwich. The brisket itself is a tad dry if you order it separately but on the sandwich where it's chopped and topped with onion, pickles, and a rather tasty sauce, it becomes much less dry and in fact pretty moist. For around $18, it's a sizable sandwich and quite delicious. In terms of actual barbecue outside of the sandwiches, as noted, the Brisket has some good smoke but it is a tad dry. The Pork Ribs were also not my favorite. If you were to get one thing here, the Beef Ribs are excellent though very expensive but you do get a big portion of course. The sauces help with the meat with my preference being the slightly sour one but if you need sauces for your meats, you're probably doing something wrong. While the BBQ is just alright, I actually like the other dishes a bit better. The Vietnamese Hot Wings were juicy and well flavored while the Jerk Rib Tips were excellent though more with a good BBQ tang than ribs. The side dishes are alright alright. I wasn't a big fan of the Pinto Beans as I found them a tad bland even with the pork added while the Pickles were well dill pickles which should probably just come with the meal. The Corn Bread is decent and the Mac was alright (could use a bit crisp as the texture was a bit boring but the flavor is OK.) This is not my favorite BBQ in the city though I haven't tried the original Red Hook location which I have heard is much better. Nice place to sit and eat at least. Low 3 read more

We got a half pound of brisket each and some Mac and cheese to share. Flavor wise, it was pretty decent. It wasn't mind blowing or anything, but it hit the spot. You can tell though that the meat has been sitting for a while. The restaurant itself looked a bit odd and not fully clean. The bottles were sticky and it smelled like wet mop. The price also wasn't really worth it - it was nearly $70 for a pound of brisket and a large Mac and cheese. If you're really desperate for bbq and are in the area, I would recommend coming here. But if you can wait, I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

I'm not leaving a bad review because I want to. I really do try to look at the bets in places. But this is just crazy. The wait time is sooooo long. I already ordered. I already paid and I've been sitting here waiting g for 35 min. I see the workers have made over 3 mistakes with people who are also waiting. They mis placed things. Gave wrong food. New York is very fast pace. And for a location like this to be located in industry city and take this long is a little ridiculous. Maybe I'm impatient, but dang, 35+ min to chop up half a pound of brisket and bag it is insane. Anyway, I hope a manager reads this and starts taking things a bit more seriously. Ps food not that good read more

Looking at the previous reviews, not a lot of love and appreciation goes into this place. I'll be here to balance and tip the scales. An extension of Red Hook's location - happy to have an additional spot where it's not overly crowded and more room to stretch out and enjoy their signature bbq. My boyfriend and I got the beef brisket sandwich, the Korean ribs, side of Cole slaw and Mac and Cheese, plus cornbread. The cornbread was all gone because it was that good - savory, fluffy, and right sweetness - he advertised this well to me. The brisket sandwich also was tenderized, flavorful, and very easy to engulf in minutes. The Korean ribs however was good but we got mixed reviews on it. It was cooked perfectly with the right charred taste and texture. But the sauce didn't do much for us. It is hard to define what Korean glazed ribs should taste like as it isn't common for their cuisine to use bbq sauce. You're used to the marinated galbi ribs in soy sauce, pear puree and garlic. Granted still perfectly cooked ribs and a winner if you like that bulgogi sweet and spicy sauce. Atmosphere is great, we got our food super quick and the seating was spacious to enjoy our big bbq spread with a bunch of wipes from your classic saucy bbq comforts. Loved having the option of outdoor seating to enjoy the nice Spring weather. Good place to run to if the original Red Hook's location makes you wait too long. read more

Hometown Bar-B-Que - BRISKET SPARE RIBS SINGLE SMASH BURGER CORNBREAD QUESO - Barbeque Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

First time at Hometown and really enjoyed it! I found all of the food to be so flavorful and actually worth the price in terms of quality and quantity. My only real note is the much of the meat wasn't hot. I'd say it was warm to room temperature. So, that was a little disappointing. The flavors still hit though! The staff was nice but the food took about 20-30 mins to come out and didn't come out all at once. We had to wait an additional 15 mins for the second half of our order. Most certainly willing to try it again and see if it was just a busy day read more

If you're craving hearty meat options then look no further....there is brisket, ribs, pulled pork and jerked meat just to mention a few items on the menu. Portions are mighty hefty so be ready to eat. The are ample sides such as mac & cheese, the baked beans are delish, cornbread is a must try. The pulled pork was perfectly spiced and extremely tender. I ordered the wings and they were superb, I also tasted the jerk ribs which gets a 10 out of 10. This spacious eatery is rustic and lively with ample picnic style tables and a few high top seats and live music (singer and a small band). The crew in the kitchen has mastered moving the ordering process right along so if you see a crowd don't be deterred. The staff is friendly and really clears up the empty plates when you're done eating. There is a full bar also. Don't worry if you can't finish the food just walk to the end of where you ordered your food and there are several size plastic platters, tops for the condiments and plastic bags to pack up your meal for leftovers. The bathroom was clean and well stocked as well as the restaurant tables each with bbq sauce and hot sauce available for you if needed. The only suggestion I would have for some diners as crazy as it sounds is to bring utensils, the restaurant only has plastic. I personally am not a fan on plastic utensils especially when trying to cut wings or ribs....yes I know this is meant to be finger foods but I like real utensils. This is only my personal opinion but it something to keep in mind. We found parking less than a block from Hometown Bar-B-Que which was great. read more

What a great bbq place. It is very reminiscent of the places down South, sparse decor, communal tables, and fantastic food. The brisket is flavorful and amazingly tender. I was able to cut it with a plastic fork. The smash burger and pulled pork sandwiches were enjoyed with enthusiasm. The sides were generous and drinks were obtained from a fridge. The staff were wonderful, and i was amazed how quickly the food appeared given the complicated nature of our order. I only wish it stayed open later. read more

I went here in Industry City on Friday, I ordered the Vietnamese Style Cauliflower and the Mac n Cheese. Honestly the Cauliflower was so spicy that I couldn't finish it. However I did enjoy the Mac n Cheese. The lady at the counter was nice when I picked up my order. The ambiance outside the restaurant was nice. read more

Easy to order. Came in on a Sunday Labor Day weekend. They were quite busy but staff was very attentive and helpful. I didn't wait that long to order at the register. You also have the option to order online. We got the Mac and cheese and 1/2 pound brisket. The Mac and cheese could use a little more flavor and the brisket was amazing. The brisket was filling and it went great with the sticky sauce. Also got the corn bread which you can't go wrong with. They have indoor and outdoor dining. It's very spacious. read more

We stopped by Hometown before an event and I completely enjoyed trying the : - Jerk Rib Tips - Brisket Queso (w Tortilla Chips) . I didn't expect to like this spot as much as I did. I even went back for their Korean sticky ribs (not pictured) after the event. . The summer beer on tap was delicious (I forgot the name) and there is plenty of lovely outdoor and indoor seating. . They do run out of food by the early evening but they have lots of ribs by closing . Super friendly staff and helpful with bringing food to the table and suggesting what sides go with the meats . I love getting recommendations and fully loving the food! read more

Food was delish and service was quick and efficient. My first time at this location and not as many options.

We had to call the over worked cook and order taker over. When my wife placed her order for brisket, they said they were out. I ordered the ribs and he asked if there was anything else I would want. We both ended up getting the pulled pork sandwich and when it came 20 mins later, it was a mushy flavorless sandwich. This is the first review I have ever written but I felt compelled by this awful experience. read more

The meats are smoked to perfection with that deep, rich flavor you only get from true pitmasters. The brisket melts in your mouth, the ribs fall right off the bone, and the sides taste homemade and comforting. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed, and the staff is friendly and clearly proud of the food they serve. Prices are fair for the quality and portion sizes, and you always leave full and happy. read more

Hands down this might be the best BBQ joint in NYC. Used to live in Texas and this is on par with the real stuff! Loved the ribs, they are so tender and the meat falls right off the bone. It does take a while to actually get your food after ordering, so don't wait til you're starving to show up. Prices are definitely a little steep here, especially for the beef ribs. Walked out with a substantially heavier stomach but a much lighter wallet! read more

I liked the atmosphere of this location and how convenient it is. It is located in the heart of Industry City. The staff was friendly and quick but as most BBQ places are, it is a bit on the pricier side. 1. Pulled Pork Sandwich (7/10): the BBQ sauce was delicious but the sandwich is on the smaller side and we received it cold which made it less enjoyable. It was nicely paired with a sesame bun which is unique. 2. Mac and Cheese (7.5/10): This was delicious but also cold. It was so good to put some BBQ sauce and hot sauce on. I would definitely get it again because it is a bbq staple. read more

Been waiting to try this place! The OG is in red hook but that's a bit far from where we are. Was in industry city and randomly stumbled upon this place. The brisket was the star of the show - so juicy and tender and flavorful! Always get the fatty cut over the lean since it can be kinda dry. I also loved the Mac and cheese sooo good. The cornbread was a bit dry but flavorful with honey drizzle. We got the ribs which was really good and tender too! The backyard patio is so cute and great for a nice day out. Overall would recommend! read more

So glad we stopped by this location to grab a plate of brisket, cornbread, collard greens, pickles and potato salad!

Visited both the Red Hook and the Industry City location and without a doubt Red Hook is the best. We had the brisket and the spare ribs yesterday at Industry City and although the brisket was well seasoned and cooked the meat was a bit dry lacking juiciness. It was probably resting for a while. The ribs were drenched in a sauce that had an intense vinegar flavor and had to be tamed down with their bbq sticky sauce. The Mac and cheese was good and the slaw just OK. read more

Decent spot with just ok barbecue. Found myself wishing for more flaky salt on the brisket and thought some of it was underseasoned. The special sauce on the smash burger carried the entire thing but was overall a good smash, just not as beefy-tasting as other smashes you can find in Manhattan. Wings were alright, but again, the star was the sauce on the side. Cheese fries were tasty, sauce didn't seize nor was it grainy. The best thing on the tray was probably the pastrami bacon. Overall the meats were passable. However if you're expecting atx caliber cue, skip hometown and just goldbelly Snow's or Franklin's. read more

My review was going to be all about how much we loved the Brisket Queso, but when I was looking at their menu online it actually seems like it is no longer on the menu. So sad. Especially because it was the best thing we had. The Queso had so much depth and was delicious, no velveeta cheese dip there, definitely homemade. The brisket on top was so tender, hardly no fat and all worked together perfectly. Everything else we had was either good or okay. The Mac n cheese was good, super creamy. The pulled pork was good but we definitely thought that they should have cooked it in more sauce after being pulled apart or had more seasonings, it was a little blah but when we added sauce it was better. The cornbread was okay, a little dry. read more

Overall rating: 4.9 So expensive but so good. I'm so surprised this doesn't have a higher rating! This is a sign to go here if you're debating it. First the atmosphere, space is soo beautiful. It's so large and so gorgeous!! One of the reasons why I love Brooklyn. I got the pulled pork sandwich & corn bread which was $26 but it was sooooooooo good. My friend got 2 ribs which were $16! And something else, I can't remember. The corn bread could have been better but it was still good. I also separately had a hot toddy which was soo good & so large! The staff was so friendly and so chill. I definitely will be coming back when I'm craving BBQ or tomorrow. Highly recommend! read more

Brisket was extremely fatty. Disgusting. He should have cut off some of the fat. I paid for 1 pound of brisket. I had to throw out so much of what I paid off. Rip off. read more

We were super siked to have some BBQ today and decided to order one beef rib (that cost $55), pork Korean ribs and a large mac & cheese. It was all VERY disappointing. For some reason they add salt to the top of the beef rib which completely ruined it. We ended up scraping the additional salt off the top which helped but, my taste buds were skunked afterward. The "Korean" ribs were honestly the worst Korean ribs I've ever had and were salty too. The mac & cheese was ok at best. Spent $97 and didn't finish any of it. I can easily say I will never eat there again. read more
