    Has a large room in the back of the restaurant. Looks nice.

    The food was Ok. The brisket was too lean, dry and bland. On my online order, I asked for fatty cuts. Guess either they didn't have it, didn't see the request or didn't want to honor the request. The ribs looked and tasted as if they were boiled for hours and then finished under the oven. They did not taste as if they were ever cooked in a bbq. Cole slaw needs more mayo. I placed an online order for 2 platters and only one showed up in the restaurant system. Total cost of a brisket platter and a full rack of ribs platter was $48. Credit or cash accepted. Takeout orders do not come automatically with utensils. Customers had to ask for them. We're from NYC and were not familiar with this practice. We drove 10 minutes to a scenic spot to eat when we realized we didn't have utensils. Drove back 10 minutes to get utensils. Our order was missing a side of potato salad too. We got an extra corn bread instead. When we returned for utensil, the restaurant gave us the potato salad side. The corn bread and the spicy sauces were very good though. We used up all of the sauces on the meats. It's not likely we'll return to this restaurant when we visit the area again. I don't understand the high ratings from others. But maybe we just have picky NYC taste buds.

    I recently found out I'm pregnant and it was midterms this week so I wasn't going to have time or energy to cook for my son and I. I've gotten to-go orders from them once before so it seemed like a good option. My only purpose for writing a review (which I rarely do) is because of the very nasty interaction with Dennis. When I got home, I opened the bags that didn't contain the meat and the containers with sides had very tiny portions but cheaper fillers such as fries and coleslaw took up the predominance of the container. The BBQ sauce containers had about a drop of sauce in them and they didn't put our drinks I paid for in the bags. I called over to the Outpost and asked to speak to a manager, I was informed that there are no bosses but they would get someone for me. The man who got on the phone (he identified himself as Dennis) had a mellow tone until I told him that I was calling because the portion size of my "sides" was stingy. He started snapping with a raised voice saying, " I don't know what that means! What is it you're trying to say?! ". I replied that I just paid over $80 ($82.45 to be specific) and the portion size was ridiculously small. Dennis began yelling into the phone, speaking over me saying, "What are you even talking about?! We put the same size serving in every order! 4oz!! They're 4oz servings! It's the same for anyone! " I finally interjected through the yelling and said, "Dennis, it's ok to say you didn't know. It's ok to say you messed up." He was quiet then simply said, "ok". Dennis, if you're going to be interacting with people outside of your area, adopting some decorum would be wise. I notice alot of your friends and regulars have posted reviews to your benefit and that's lovely, however, you should learn how to interact with people who aren't saying what you want to hear. It goes a long way. Your food is decent but that whole interaction in addition to the amount of money I spent only to contend with that mess was a turn off. Then again, when you came out to greet "Patty" at the window and the family at the table, you breezed right past my son and I and I realized that there wasn't any warm and fuzzy towards people who look like us. I'm sure you'll thrive based on the little town you're in.

    I was up visiting my daughter at school. We decided to go to Cortland to see my son and found this place in the middle of nowhere. We bookmarked it and planned to stop on our way back. I am soooo glad we did. The place looks and feels like you'd want a BBQ to look and feel like. The people who worked here were super friendly and very helpful. I felt like I was invited over a friends house for dinner. Amazing experience. The food. My daughter had pulled pork and I had brisket. It was amazing and tender. I didn't notice any fat at all. And the spicy bbq sauce had just the right amount of kick to it. We both agree that every time I'm up in this area this is a must eat at place. Do yourself a favor and stop in this hidden gem.

    Wish I could give them more stars but food really wasn't great. Got the full rack of ribs with 2 sides and cornbread. Ribs were over cooked and dry and the Mac and cheese was not good at all. Don't think I would go back.

    Beef brisket with Mac and cheese, fries, and some cornbread.

    See all

    Barbecue was excellent. The meat just fell off the bone. The barbecue beans were really good along with the Mexican. Coke couldn't beat it.

    Was on my way home from a trip in the Catskills and was hungry. Saw this on the road and stopped by…read morehoping there were good smash burgers and food. Wish i didn't see it. It was pretty mids. Waitress gave us recommendations and they weren't good. The brisket sandwich was ok but the burger was not. The mac and cheese was microwaved and dry. i'd skip. we don't finish the food and 3 servers/waiters came by different time asking if we need a to-go box and i politely declined. But they still game with to-go boxes it was weird like no means no bruh. anyways C+ cause the BBQ sauce was alright and although the wings flavor was so mids the wing quality chicken was fine

    Came here after a long bike ride. What a great find! The bartender was truly the jack of all…read moretrades: he tended bar, took orders, served meals, made suggestions & was like a one-man show. Our lunches of smoked turkey sandwiches were sublime. They were big, filling, had great flavor & add-ons & the only negative for me was that the mac & cheese side order was dry, the top was burnt & I wished that I had ordered the french fries that my husband got. They were VERY good. Beers (local craft beer & standard, big-brand beer) hit the spot after our bumpy bike ride. Decor is all about every sport with memorabilia on baseball, hockey, football & more covering the walls. There are two dining spaces & space at the full bar. Add Hickory Smokehouse to your upstate sojourn.

    I've eaten at Brothers BBQ a handful of times and I feel confident enough at this point to tell you…read moreabout it. Now this is just my opinion, so don't get crazy. Compared to other bbq in the area, I believe Brothers is a winner. The food quality is great, and techniques of prep and cooking are perfectly mastered. The brisket has a flavorful crust and it breaks apart with a fork. The baked beans have all the right stuff to make them excellent. Baked Mac and cheese is BAKED. The chicken falls off the bone and smoked perfectly. Candied yams are perfect and you can actually taste the butter that you're SUPPOSED to bake into it, (they're the only ones who make it right) in my opinion. We ordered an appetizer of "burnt bacon ends", and so much flavor, and fall apart with a fork. The cocktails were potent, so beware . Did I say enough about the food? Even the service was great. One of the owners even swung by to see if we needed anything. If you haven't already gone, go. It's a nice relaxed atmosphere, and sometimes has live entertainment. You'll love it.

    Brothers BBQ was a short ride from the Storm King state park I visited…read more Hostess was very nice and greeted and seated quickly. Staff bought menu and drinks quick as well. Didn't have to wait long for food. Make sure they bring your cornbread. That was sweet and hot. Got the brisket nachos and the pulled pork sandwich with candied yams. Brisket was very tender and sweet. Very tasty. The pulled pork was moist. The yams were cooked perfectly, nice and soft. It has a very comfy feel with lots of cute decorations. Feels like a warm ski lodge.
