The mushroom sandwich was delicious. The side of corn was okay. The corn bread was amazing though. Service: Service was a little slow. They admitted they were short staffed that day. It still wasn't too bad. Our servers were very nice. TL;DR - The smoked mushroom vegetarian option is amazing.

We were able to get a couple small to-go cups of bbq sauce. The brisket was hit and miss. Some pieces were moist, and other pieces were on the almost-dry side. The sauce helped there. The ribs fell off the bone and were delicious. The beans and creamy Mac and cheese were wonderful, and the cornbread was moist and great!

They use a local coffee roaster from Avon. The only issue we have ever had is when we order online, they tell us our drinks will be ready in a half an hour, but ends up being about 45. So we are sitting waiting. I'm not sure if they just don't give pick up/online orders priority. Never had an issue when I walk in to order.

I went with a build you own burger (bonus, Grass fed beef too!), my husband got a beef on weck. The sandwich was good but the meat was thick cut and as a result, was a bit hard to bite through. (I could see my husband struggle). My in-laws got a burger and a fish fry and they enjoyed their meals as well. The main negative was how loud it was in here. There was a table of 4 older ladies that were so rowdy, we could hardly hear each other, let alone the waitress. Needless to say, once their food came, they quieted down a bit. We highly recommend.

I'd like to preface this review with the fact I have been here over a dozen times and always…read moreenjoyed my food and service. This time was quite a disappointing experience. My wife and I arrived and promptly ordered the chopped brisket sandwich, bbq beans and a chili to share. 2 people order after us with one being an apparent friend of the owner. We waited and watched the man who ordered after us receive his 7 or 8 items personally delivered to him. Then the second guy who ordered after us received his meal at which point I asked if our ticket was lost. He said it was coming right out. When I received our meal the brisket sandwich was cold. I'm assuming sandwich was made and left to fulfill other orders placed after us. I did complain and sandwich was remade but customer service is just as important. No guest should be less important than the next. This negative experience has most likely lost a customer from ever returning again.

Wow what an experience!!! Visiting from Miami and Arizona!…read moreI came with my family (group of 9) We waited for about 40 minutes, and it was very much worth it. Starting with the friendly and attentive service from the staff. Even the security guard outside welcomed us to Rochester and made his recommendations! Amanda took care of our table and she made our experience much more memorable. The raspberry lemon drop **ELITE** I had three! And the food, we all devoured every bite. The amount of food was perfect, the sides were all so tasty, I couldn't pick my favorite! The ribs I was so happy from beginning to end. It was the best way to end the night, even the kids couldn't stop raving about the delicious food! Thank you so much team! I would 10000% come back if I'm in Rochester!

It was easily the standout of the meal and cooked to perfection. The sides were just as impressive. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, the corn was delicious, and the cornbread was warm, moist, and the perfect complement to the barbecue. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Between the incredible brisket, delicious sides, and fun BBQ vibe, this was a fantastic dining experience. If you're in Rochester, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back for more brisket!

The best BBQ I have had and I am from the south!…read more We tried the Full Texas (has all of the meats) with the potato salad, mac and cheese, cornbread, and a lemon curt tart. The tart was tangy, bright, not too sweet, and the bottom wasn't soggy at all. Excellent! As for the BBQ, all of the meats were so smoky and melt-in-your-mouth flavorful! I wasn't expecting to like the chicken, I typically go for brisket, but the chicken stole the show. It was moist and so full of flavor! Definitely my favorite! Closely followed by the brisket, then the ribs, then the pulled pork, and last, but not least, the chorizo/sausage. I also really liked the chimichurri sauce as well as the addition of pickles and pickled onions. They paired really well with the BBQ. I preferred the golden bbq sauce a over the classic bbq (sweeter and too smoky for me). Honestly didn't love the mac and cheese. It was a bit bland and would not recommend or order this again. However, the BBQ and everything else was so good that it makes up for the faults of the mac and cheese. Cornbread was solid- on the crumblier side and not sweet at all. I prefer my cornbread sweeter, but this was still good cornbread. I was pleasantly surprised by the potato salad on the other hand. I don't like potatoes in general because I find them to be too bland and chronically underseasoned. Much to my surprise, I rather liked this potato salad. I loved the addition of dill and green onions. This was really good with the BBQ. The interior is a bit lackluster and the building is unassuming. Everyone there was really friendly and helpful when deciding what to order though! Overall, I would highly recommend State Eatery! Incredible BBQ!

State Eatery was our final stop in the Finger Lakes before starting the drive home to Baltimore…read moreafter spending the Fourth of July weekend in the area. We were sad to leave, but State Eatery was a great goodbye meal. It's a bakery, bar, and BBQ spot and a really cool space. We were there after a hot, sweaty hike, and ready for some BBQ. Their menu is both classic and eclectic, and we decided to share a little classic BBQ and a little less classic BBQ. We shared the Brisket + Chicken plate, which comes with both proteins, two sides, sauce, and pickles. We chose the mac and cheese and smoked pork + beans for our sides. We also got - under their Meats by the 1/2 Pound section of the menu - their smoked beets?! Full disclosure: I'm from Texas. And I have a lot of strong feelings about brisket. State Eatery's brisket definitely isn't what I'm used to or what I'm craving when I order brisket. It was quite dry, I suspect from a much leaner cut than most Texas spots would use (although at home, you're sometimes asked if you want a slice of lean or fatty). If I'm going to eat brisket, I want a fatty slice. State Eatery's was dry for me, but with sauce was fine. I preferred the chicken, which I thought was very good (smoky with a crispy skin without being overcooked or dry inside). I also enjoyed the beets! I'm a fan of beets, but I've never had them like this and it surprised me. The sides were both good, too! The mac and cheese was made with good pasta and wasn't overcooked or too saucy - and very peppery! The beans with smoked pork were great. I also thought both sauces we had were very good. They also have a bar, so we were able to have some brunch-y cocktails with our BBQ. My husband had their Spanish sangria, which he enjoyed, while I - as slowly as I could - savored my Daytripper Spritz (Matchbook Distilling's Estate Grown Strawberry Amara combined with Prosecco and a touch of lemon juice over ice). The service was great, and they offer indoor and outdoor seating. We wished we could have stayed longer - their indoor bar looked like a great place to watch a World Cup game - but we had to start our drive home. I'd happily return to try more of their food (their choripán - an Argentinian sandwich/street food - was calling my name but we could only order so much since there was just the two of us)!
