It's not like a boot camp chow hall but more of a casual BBQ spot where you can spin on a sweet tea and enjoy some ribs. The restaurant is decorated with items from all branches of the military as well as the local police and fire department. It's nice to see there's pride for the Armed Forces as well as the people who serve and protect. I stopped in for lunch. I know I'm going to BBQ the next day so I pass on the brisket and I ordered the grilled shrimp. The counter person tells the the cook one order of Grilled Shrimp and in about a minute I had my plate. I grabbed a sweet tea, sat in a booth and enjoyed my lunch. Mission BBQ? That was a fantastic lunch! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. Mike Charlie

Mission BBQ seems to be a fast growing chain. I have enjoyed their food in Cincinnati, Connecticut…read moreand New York. The prices seem a little too high for the portions received. Last time I ordered the three meat sampler for $22. There were two small pieces of brisket (each about 2 inches long) two small slices of sausage and a cup size of pulled pork. This price did not include sides. The service is great and the atmosphere is typical of all other Mission BBQ I have been in but this location seems to be more strict on portion control. I see everything being measured on the scale which is not a bad thing, every business needs to make money but in my opinion the price did not justify the meal. Pulled pork was great, brisket was moist and tender and the extra sides I ordered were good so no problem with the food.

Running errands in this area and dropped in to try Memphis King's (1st time visit) I always get the same wings (hot buffalo) at each restaurant/bar to keep things fair. Memphis King's wings are smoked, then fried. I've found that you lose a lot of smoke flavor when they're fried to order but these had just the right amount still present. Very tasty. And crispy! (a lot of smoked wings are grilled but, while delicious, it doesn't render enough of the skin to make them crispy and I like crisp!) I've sampled wings from about 30 places (so far) and I would whole heartedly put Memphis King's in my top 10 for sure. Looking forward to trying their other items because their burnt ends look great. As does the house made pastrami *droooool* As for the people, the gal in front of house was wonderful. And the chef (not sure if he was the owner or not) was so nice. Kept checking in on me to see how everything was and kept offering me suggestions and samples. Not pushy, just smart business because I'm 100% gonna go back.

I think the price is fair, I got the three meat combo for $30. It comes with your choice of two sides. Had to go for the Mac and cheese and baked beans with burnt ends. Didn't expect to love the beans as much as I did but wow! That flavor was incredible! The Mac and cheese was delicious too, had a lovely Cajun spice to it but very mild. Also tried the Texas twinkies which were great. Pictured meats- pork belly, brisket, and pork ribs. So yum! I also love all the sauces you can get. They have so many. I went for tangy mustard, og bbq, and Alabama white sauce. Looking forward to going back to try their specials. Get there early, because once they sell out; that's it!

There are many restaurants in the space, so you can select what you like. It was a beautiful day, so we selected a table outside on the patio. I ordered the One Meat Combo Platter ($20.) with two sides: Burnt Ends of Pork, Potato Salad, and Beans. I almost selected Mac and Cheese as a side. They did not have Cole Slaw. The pork was at least 20% soft fat! I should have known, but I have never ordered ends before today. The Barbeque sauce was very tasty. I should have ordered Pulled Pork or brisket. The potato salad was very good since the mayo was cut with mustard the way I like it to be. The Beans which were flavored with bits of pork tasted good. I took half home. My food was 3-4 stars. Service was efficient. Note from website: Dotty Lou's BBQ provides guests with a unique and delicious dining experience that combines the rich traditions of Texas smoking principles with bold flavors.

The only dedicated Korean fried chicken restaurant in the area. Many flavors to choose from and I've tried about half, but my favorites are still the Golden Original and Secret Sauce.

I decided to give Signal 30 a try after hearing many great things about it…read more Taking this account, I ordered ribs and brisket with fried pickles and the results were satisfying. To explain, the ribs were excellent. They were tender, flavorful, and had a ton of meat on the bones. In similar fashion, the brisket was pretty tasty. To breakdown, the brisket had nice flavor with a good amount of fat around the edges. However, the middle of the brisket was a bit overcooked. It was still enjoyable though. After that, I tried the fried pickles which were delicious. The pickles were crispy with a savory and salty taste. These were simply great fried pickles. As a final point, Signal 30 is a really good BBQ restaurant and I highly recommend the ribs and fried pickles.

(That's not a bad thing) Ya Yas is conveniently located in downtown Schenectady near State street on an unassuming corner you would pass easily if not paying attention. No worries, though there's plenty of parking and even a parking garage next door. I went on a slow Thursday night and was met with the owner who I assume was Ya Ya herself. She immediately greeted me with the house specials along with the homemade sides. I ordered the 1/2 chicken breast, collard greens, yams and corn bread the perfect southern food combo. I'd never tried collard greens but they were tasty and felt like a cross between spinach and Brussels sprouts. The bill was reasonable at $18 with plenty of food so you definitely won't go home hungry when leaving Ya Yas. If you're in the mood for some southern hospitality in Upstate NY, give this place a try I will definitely be back.
