We came to Southern Junction for the first time tonight and were extremely impressed. Sometimes highly talked about restaurants disappoint, but this did not! We ordered take out on the website and arrived a bit early (4:15 on a Saturday). We grabbed drinks at the bar and they were delicious! I especially loved the drink I had with smoke infused rye! If you order takeout, note you can go right in and up to the register (you don't need to wait in line). The line formed and was outside the door when we arrived! There was seating options inside and outside and all staff was helpful and kind. When we got home to dig in, we were amazed at the melt in your mouth bbq! We got the Texas Trinity to share with the Brisket Biriyani and beans as our side. The biriyani was a rice with brisket and amazing flavor. I'm not usually a huge rice lover but truly enjoyed this! The ribs were to die for and fall off the bone and the kielbasa was delicious! We also got a side of cardamom cornbread ( melt in your mouth!) and the cowboy Mac which my boyfriend absolutely loved. For dessert we got the cinnamon roll which was ginormous but good! Overall, amazing experience, food, and drink even with take out! We'll be back! read more

Southern Junction - Texas trinity - Indian Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Very good and highly recommend. The setup at this restaurant is different than most. You line up to place your order at the stand and pay. They will slice the meet right there and will give you almost everything or, if not, they'll bring it to you. If you dine in, then to find your seat. It's not a table service kind of place. Bar is great as well, but small. Street parking only. Friendly staff. A little pricy but it's meat so expect to pay a little more. Their Texas Twinkie is amazing - bacon wrapped stuff jalapeño. Definitely try this place! read more

​I rarely buy into the local food hype because it so often falls flat, but this place is legitimately amazing. The food here is insanely good, which was a huge relief. ​My Matt and I went here for our anniversary. He loves BBQ and I love Indian food, so it worked out perfectly. ​We arrived a tad after four on a Thursday; there was no line. We walked up to the meat carver's station with no one in front of us. ​The menu was clearly posted right above the carving station, but my anxiety meant I genuinely couldn't process it in the moment, even though we weren't being rushed by anything. I kept asking the carvers questions that were answered right on the board in front of me, and they kept a very friendly face and powered through with patience. I appreciate that immensely. ​We found a table on the enclosed patio. There were a few large picnic tables and some other smaller tables in there too. There isn't a ton of space inside, but they have a giant backyard with a bunch of seating. If it had been slightly warmer, we would've opted for the backyard. ​Matt had his three-meat, two-side tray with an added Texas Twinkie and a slice of their housemade milk bread. He wanted to sample as much as possible. We ended up getting four more meals out of the leftovers. ​They brought out my hot link foldie and shells 'n' cheese with candied jalapeños maybe seven minutes later, hot and fresh. ​As I took pictures, I noticed everything glowed! The colors were so vibrant and varied. It was easy to get good photos. ​The flavors were extraordinary. Everything was perfectly prepared. The sliced brisket and the ribs I tried from Matt's tray were the best I have ever had by far. ​The smoked hot link foldie I ordered was incredible. It combined my love of sausage, Indian flavors, and incredibly fresh, buttery, flaky paratha. The slaw and various housemade condiments, pickled onion, and candied jalapeños made it. I would order this a million more times. AND! It's $12. No joke. You want a pizza shop sub that's carelessly thrown together with low-quality, highly processed ingredients for at least $12...or this gorgeous foldie? I could go on and on about everything we tried and how satisfyingly perfect it all was...but try it yourself! You will not be disappointed. There is no "wrong" thing to order from the menu. ​We're already planning a return, and I can't wait! read more

I am not a massive fan of BBQ food but Southern Junction really changed my mind. I was on a work trip with a colleague and he really wanted to come here. I was a little hesitant, since I am not the biggest fan of bbq, however I am glad I came. This is by far the best bbq I've had in America. I will always be coming here whenever I am in Buffalo and recommend it to everyone. The location is also a vibe with their outdoor seating and home style coziness. The food was extremely flavorful and filling. The chicken was a little bit of a challenge to eat but everything tasted amazing. Next time I will be getting the three meat portion and have the whole experience. I wish them nothing but the best. read more

If you have a hankering for barbecue, be sure to make it Southern Junction. This place, which has been a James Beard Award finalist twice now for its Texas/South Asian bbq, is popular for a reason: there really aren't any wrong choices on the menu. We enjoyed the brisket, pulled pork, and barbacurry beef along with sides of cardamom cornbread, brisket biriyani, chammahandhi slaw, and brisket beans. One hack for this experience is to hit the bar for a beverage and to have your meal delivered to your seat. Plan to get there early (when they open) to avoid a wait, then relax with the friendly bartenders and your fellow foodies! read more

Honestly, I'm still processing how good this meal was. I almost don't want to write this because I want to keep this place all to myself, but the food is too good not to share. You know those dinners where the table goes silent because everyone is too busy inhaling their food to speak? Yep, that was us. We decided to live a little and asked the staff to just surprise us with their favorites. Best decision ever; they blew it out of the water. From the brisket to the sides, everything was prepared to perfection. The vibes were top notch too!!! We're already planning our next trip back. Do yourself a favor and check it out... just don't tell too many people! ;) read more

Delicious Indian inspired BBQ, great cocktails, yummy sides! Bartenders were kind and helpful. Once seated service was very fast. There was a huge line outside and as we sat eating, they continued to run out of a variety of meats which would be disappointing had we waited in the long line only to not get what we wanted! Thankfully, we snagged a seat at the bar and were served promptly! I will say, the 3 meat platter is overpriced if you get brisket and flat iron. They upcharge by $6 EACH and it's not much meat. I've been to 2 other places with comparable meat and cheaper prices. The coconut curry dipping sauce was super delicious. The Texas Twinkie was neat but nothing special. The cosmo pour was very light and I didn't get much alcohol flavor or buzz... read more

I'm from Texas and this felt like a little slice of home. From the decor to the true bbq, they nailed it. We got the flat iron, the turkey, mac and cheese, brisket biryani, coleslaw, the burger, and bread. The top things I would recommend are the flat iron and brisket biryani. The brisket biryani had excellent flavor and the flat iron melts in your mouth. The rest was very good but those were just my top 2. We went on a Saturday and thought we could beat the line being a little early. We got there at about 3:55 and there was already a line of about 15-20 people. Even being 5 minutes early from opening and only about 20 people in front of us it was about a 40 minute wait. The interior was really small with limited space to order your food so it fit a few people who were ordering and the rest of the line stands outside. The line moves extremely slow. I think they could find a better/more efficient way to order the food. I will say it's nice because you get to watch them cut up your meat, but it is a slow moving line because of it. The people that helped us were very friendly and knowledgeable. After you order your food you find a table. There were outside seats on a patio but in the colder weather we preferred an indoor seat. Luckily we found a seat inside but there's really only enough space for like 7ish groups. Because of the limited seating I also felt pressure to eat quickly so other people could sit inside as well. The small interior was a bit stressful for me which is why I took a star off. But I would absolutely come back for that flat iron meat. Definitely come here if you're craving some good bbq, but just be prepared to come pretty early to avoid a cold wait outside in line and then you don't have to worry about seating as well. read more

OMG OMG OMG ... Multiple people insisted that we MUST try Southern Junction ... so we rushed down the various street connections finding a parking space just a few steps from the entrance. Walking through the short "alley," which adds to the atmosphere we came face to face with BBQ heaven needing to make difficult choices because everything smelled so good! In line I was asked "wanna a 'TWINKIE? '" Sure ... Little did I know that was going to be one of the best culinary decisions of my life! The 'TWINKIE' is a BBQ dream version of a jalapeno popper filled with brisket and cream cheese wrapped with a thick slice of bacon and given the BBQ treatment. Smoky and flavorful and OMG goodness. I so wanted more and could not stop thinking about this delicious bite! My brisket was melt in the mouth OMG deliciousness with a perfect smoke ring. Other meats on the patio table included kielbasa, which was shared, and turkey. All the meats were perfection! The side dishes are great ...the cardamom corn bread muffins amazing!! No room for dessert but I did think about another 'Twinkie!' Went to the bar for a beer and was given a sample (I was curious about Utica Club and surprised to really enjoy it.). Bar keep was great and bar had good vibe! So yes ...OMG OMG OMG HEAVENLY!! read more

Take out! Perfected pork ( so tender) creamy mac & cheese doing the comfort-food heavy lifting with a touch of jalapeño bringing the heat. Another side was spicy cauliflower for that roasted bite, and very airy slice of bread to mop everything up! The banana cream could have had a little more oomh but over the moon with this bbq spot! read more

Stopped by on a Monday around 5 PM and only had a short wait with just a few people ahead of us. It's a walk-up counter setup, and you can see them slicing the meat fresh right in front of you--which definitely adds to the experience. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but the quality made it worth it. The brisket was the standout--incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. The turkey was moist and flavorful, and the pork was solid as well. Surprisingly, my favorite parts of the meal were the rice and the cornbread--both packed with flavor and the perfect sides to round everything out. If you're in the area and craving BBQ, this spot is definitely worth checking out read more

This is THE place to make a point to go to. Whether you're in from Canada to try it, coming from a different state, and definitely when you're local. As a BBQ connoisseur, this is arguably the best I've had. The perfectly cooked meat with the unique Indian flare is something to behold. The brisket was melt in your mouth tender; the ribs were succulent and tender (and that maple glaze omg). The dip dip chicken was phenomenal and so moist. The cardamon cornbread just may be my favorite cornbread I've had. Even their house made milk bread was excellent. The Texas Twinkie was the size of Texas itself, HUGE. My wife got 3 (THREE!) banana puddings, she loved it that much. The small place gives off classical bbq shack vibes, with a nice separate bar room that we will sit at next time. I will say that the order first and seat yourself after order is definitely not the most efficient way, but when you're selling only what you have made for the day I get it. Plus there's no waitresses so it eliminates some overhead. Staff was very friendly and fast. All in all I think it's one of Buffalo's premiere restaurants and deserves all the recognition it gets. read more

Wow - I'm so glad we finally made it here after multiple recommendations from a bunch of different people. Our only hesitation coming here was that the line used to be out the door so you'd have to wait a really long time to order and find a table. Thankfully we stopped in on a Saturday night after an art show at The Crucible across the street and there were only five people in line, so we didn't have to wait long and were able to find a table no problem. The service here is really unmatched - you can tell everyone loves working here and wants everyone to enjoy their food to the fullest. I took the recommendations of some of the staff and I'm glad I did. The turkey was a real highlight, as were the beans and Mac. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other sides next time we're there. read more

We hit this spot at around 5:00 on a Friday night and got there just before the big dinner crowd! We waited in line for about 10 minutes before it was our turn to order. We both ordered the 2 meat plate with ribs and flat iron beef (on the recommendation of the server/carver of the meats)... we did get different sides: baked beans with brisket on top, biriani rice with brisket on to, slaw with crushed peanuts and cowboy mac with candied jalapeños on top... We watched while our food was being plated with our mouths watering... I had to wipe away drool... The food was amazing, tender, flavorful and generously portioned... the flat iron was mouth watering and tender, the ribs had a smoky goodness to them and were fall off the bone tender... the sides were really, really good... unique, tasty and even a little quirky ... You get a slice of the best bread ever!!! I love this place and was trying to be polite and not gobble my food... go here, eat here... you'll be glad you did! read more

Last time I was in this location it was still The Black Sheep restaurant. Now, it's all about smoked meat. People love this place. It's actually "a fusion of Texas barbecue techniques and South Indian flavors". Three of us shared the prime brisket, pulled pork, ribs, sausage, chicken and four sides. We enjoyed everything. The brisket was at the top of my companion's rating. The pork ribs had mixed reviews, but we all loved the Dip Dip Chicken. Don't ask about the sausage/kielbasa. It was good, but my Polish standards are very high. The pulled pork was great, especially covered with one of the BBQ sauces. It's worth mentioning that the beef and pork (at least the brisket and pork butt) come from Creekstone Farms in upstate New York. They are proud to offer an exceptionally high-quality product. The Chammandhi Slaw side had a very unique and outstanding taste. Delicious! The food was served on trays. I would have preferred to use a plate, especially if sharing with more than two people, but there were none available. This was my first time at Southern Junction. If there is a next one, I will know better how to handle my order. For example, I am not sure what happened, but we did not receive a slice of milk bread with one of our plates. Also, I really wanted to try smoked cauliflower, but due to someone's mistake or misunderstanding, I got beans instead. It was busy, but not extremely. This is definitely a place to visit. Owner Ryan Fernandez has been recognized and honored by the James Beard Foundation. He was one of the finalists for the 'Emerging Chef' category in 2024. He is continuing to be amazing and can already be seen on the 2025 James Beard Foundation Semifinalist list for the 'Best Chef'! How awesome is that?! What's more, in August 2024, Texas Monthly magazine released a list of the best Texas-style barbecue spots outside of Texas, and Southern Junction ranked sixth in the top ten! Anyone who could put Buffalo, New York on any map of recognition like that is our hero. The bar room had a fun and lively atmosphere. We just walked through it on our way out. I could picture myself at the bar having a beer and sharing a Dip Dip Chicken with my man, (oh! the chicken was so moist and flavorful!), or anything. The menu is full of tasty, worth trying and satisfying food. I'll be back :). read more

Everything about this place is an experience! We came for Father's Day and needless to say no wine was out the door! Strangely, the line took a while and seemed to move very efficiently at the same time. When you get to the front of the line, everyone is amazingly helpful and eager to show you what they have and what the options are you come here knowing you're gonna spend a lot of money and knowing that you're gonna have leftovers for days! Everything that we had was delicious and the overall experience as far as family time was second to none. I would absolutely go again and happily sharing the experience of dining there. Definitely worth a trip and make sure you bring comfy clothes that you are OK if they get a little stained with food. read more

My cousin was in town and wanted to try this place cause she saw it on IG. Even though I live in Buffalo, I have never been to this place before. We went right at opening and there was already a line out the door. We waited about 15 mins. You order and pay at the counter and find a seat. Indoor seating was full by the time we ordered so we just sat outside. It is a cover area outside. It may not look like it's a lot but it was filling. We shared this btw 3 adults and one toddler. My toddler loved the pulled pork and I was okay with it cause I have never been a pulled pork type of person. I enjoyed the ribs and the sausage was really good. The sides was actually really good. I really liked the corn bread and the pickle was so delicious! read more

BBQ with a unique flavor that just works! Operating hours here are weird so we FINALLY made it, as this place is closed in the middle of the week. Had the Texas Trinity, which is three meats and two sides. Gives you a great idea of what Southern Junction is all about. The BRISKET- Star of the show. It's basically the to gift that keeps on giving. It's perfectly cooked- great temperature, char, and color, with a melody of flavor that provides a mouth watering adventure in each bite. The balance between the meat and fat both coupled with this frosting of sorts on top, becomes a tenderized, savory dream. Definitely my favorite. Not everyone knows how to do brisket so it's usually not my thing, but here, it'll probably be the only meat I order on future visits. The SAUSAGE- very good. Tender and good flavor. I personally didn't like the skin and would pull it off to focus on the meat, other than that, really good. The RIBS- were good. Not the best I've ever had, better than ok. Good flavor. Not falling off the bone, but tender enough. The SIDES- Very Unique...and I think this is where the Tex-ish comes from. Had the Brisket Biriyani- it was so very different with a long grain rice and flavor that surprises in a good way. Can't really compare it to anything. It's its own thing. Also had the Brisket Beans which were good and had unique flavor. Tried my husband's Smoked Cauliflower- it was cooked in onions and peppers, thick cauliflower with a slight kick...,good. Lastly the two BBQ sauces we chose was one that was HOT...like peppers on yes with a slight tang and the other mild, sweeter with a little tanginess as well. And that BREAD....ugghhhhh why is it soooo soft, airy, with a touch of sweet!? It's like if a Hawaiian Sweet Roll and Jamaican Coco Bread had a baby. Worth the $1 upcharge. According to the hubby, the atmosphere was a vibe as it was packed when he picked up our food on a Thursday evening. It's worth the hype. Pricing was about right for the plate size. I was famished and was certain I'd finish the whole dinner. Nope! I ended up pushing myself to get through 1/2 of it. I'll have a happy lunch later. read more

Went to Southern Junction for an early dinner this week on a Monday at about 4:30pm and definitely just beat the rush! I'm a fan of BBQ and I just love Indian food, so we decided to check this place out. When you walk in, you go up to the serving area, tell them which meat you want and they plate it up for you after you tell them what meal you're having. You let them know what sides you want, drinks, etc. The food gets put on a cafeteria tray and then you choose your seat. They had fountain drinks that you get yourself.m, you can get water off the soda fountain as well, and then they have a case of some canned and bottled drinks, appeared to be some choices of beer. A relaxed atmosphere, some seating inside and there is a full bar in the front although I did not check that area out at all. The seating outside had both covered and uncovered areas, was a little disappointed they stopped the outside cooking when we started eating though! Was looking forward to the scent of the BBQ. I had the barbacurry beef which is a tender shredded beef with masala spice and ciltatro. I opted for the mild barbecue sauce to add to it because they said the beef was a little spicy, wanted to be safe, however, I didn't find the beef that's spicy. Having said that I am fairly tolerant of spice. I would definitely try the hotter barbecue sauce next time or perhaps the coconut curry sauce. I personally find the combination of barbecue sauce and cilantro very yummy so I really enjoyed this. For my sides I had the cardamom cornbread, which was subtle but noticeable and very moist, which is nice because a lot of times cornbread is dry. Would definitely get the cornbread again. My other side was the cauliflower. I would not get this again. Not that it wasn't cooked well with good flavor, it just wasn't for me. It was a little bit too much smoke flavor, more than I like. The Hawaiian bread was very good. I did not end up finishing it however because between the cornbread and the banana pudding I got for dessert I did not want to eat that much food. Pickles and pickled onion were good as well. I had the banana pudding at home. It was very good. My mother had pulled pork. She said that was very tasty. She really enjoyed the potato salad as well. The coleslaw was slightly too peppery for her, but she's very sensitive to pepper, I ended up eating it instead, and it was very, very good. I would definitely get the slaw again. Overall, really good experience, we would both return. read more

My boyfriend brought me here for our anniversary, and it did not disappoint! The only sad part was that they were sold out of ribs and sausage--but that was on us for going around 6 PM. So if you're planning to visit, go early! Also, dress warm (if winter) because the line will be out the door. Thankfully, they have heaters closer to the front. We ordered two double meat sets, and we're so glad we did because it came with a lot of food. We went with the staff's recommendations, and they picked well! If you go, the brisket and coconut curry sauce is amazing and a definite must. One thing I noticed was that even though every table looked occupied when we walked in, somehow, the timing worked out perfectly. People left right as new groups came in, almost like it was all in sync. So don't stress about finding a seat it all works out, and you will get a seat, and great food! read more

So if you're in Buffalo, and you haven't tried this BBQ yet, you're not only missing out, you're behind the times! I said it last time and I'll say it again: This is one of the best BBQs I have ever had. I went in and was fully ready to wait in line but there wasn't a huge wait which I thought was a sign that I was supposed to go. (It was also Halloween so I think I just got lucky everyone else was out and busy) When I got to the front of the line, I already knew I was going to get the brisket again. But I changed up my sides this time. I love the cardamon corn bread I tried once from here so knew to get that and the shells and cheese (gotta bring home some for my son) this time. My wife got the foldie again with the barbacurry and a side of the shells with cheese too. The food is absolutely incredible here. Ryan and his team do a great job with their service and their food prep to make it run smooth and taste delicious. The place was steady with customers and it was nice to see the outdoor patio being used on a warm Fall night and there were plenty of tables available. The bar had some folks in it too and it just felt like a nice cozy spot to eat. Do yourself and your tastebuds a favor. Check out this spot and become a regular. You'll be happy that you did! read more

We wanted to cross the border back into the US before finding a place to eat. We searched around and found this place with good reviews and wanted to give this place a try. The restaurant is more of a long bar, with the dining area being in the very back. The place is themed after Texas, with the state's symbol and various items like album covers and posters adorning all of the walls. The bar in the front was packed when we went, but it was relatively quiet in the back dining area where we sat. The restaurant is small, though that may be because the place is split up by multiple white walls. We sat at a 4-person table, which was situated next to three green booths. In front of our table was one of the many white walls and beyond it were a few more tables that ranged from 2-seaters to 4-seaters. The restrooms were located in the very back and are dark. We got here on a Sunday and was told that they were serving brunch and that no other items were available. That was fine. We got the Sunday Brunch Trio for $20: Carnitas - smoked pork, chiles, cilantro, orange, red onions The Bird- spicy smoked chicken, spinach, butter chicken sauce and queso TVM Central - barbacurry, masala potatoes and mint sauce Daughter said she liked all three tacos but her favorite was the TVM Central because of the mint sauce. Hubs thought all three tasted similar but he agreed with daughter. He said that the mint sauce separated the flavor from all three of them making it slightly different. The barbacoa was softer. He thought that the Bird was a little overcooked, though. We all got aTexas sized cinnamon roll, which is homemade milk roll with cardamom whipped cream and candied pistachios. Daughter and I loved it a lot. She wanted to keep eating it but she had to stop. LOL. We also got a Brunch Foldie, which is pastrami and kielbasa with salsa, cheddar. Daughter and Hubs liked the sausage over pastrami. The workers claimed that the sausage was from the night before but it tasted a little too fresh for that. She loved it a lot. Service was friendly and quick. It is street parking and we managed to find one right outside the place. Will definitely return another time during the weekday to try the rest of the menu! read more

Ok so the burger uyyyyhhhhhhhhh my goodness I cannot describe how delishhhhuuussss.eeee like top tier and the cinnamon roll wow. Yes it's like $12 and I got TWO (big back) but so worth it. Like the cream on top is the perfect balance prolly top cinnamon roll I've had to be honest. The dude who took my order was a king. So friendly and while they didn't have everything that was included on the Sunday brunch, he was still nice about it. At some point I kept waiting for my biscuit and gravy and sausage and they never brought it out and then I told them and they said I already got it but I genuinely did not receive it !! Roll the cameras because SOMEONE ELSE ATE IT!!!!! They ended up taking my word for it and providing the food. Def recommend !!!!! Uuggggg read more

Top 3 BBQ joints I have had in the country and its a lot of BBQ joints tested. The ribs are the best I have ever had....good crisp bark, bite on the bone and tender meat...the perfect bite. The sausage was quality meat ratio with a crisp casing, the brisket was really good and my buddy got the turkey and that was great too, ton of flavor. Sides we had were the Brisket Biriyani, had so much depth in flavor, some nice kick and my favorite of the sides we ordered. The mac n cheese has some sharp flavor to it, which is a huge plus for me, and it was saucy and delicious. My buddy got the brisket beans and they were really good, you can tell the beans arent canned and have a good chew to them. Another huge thing, was the time taken by the guys putting the plate together....every detail, from brushing the ribs with sauce individually, slicing the meats with precision and placing the meats, ensuring the toppings on the sides were on point, and explanation of the sauces. The vibes were great in the bar area, solid beer selection and a full service bar is something you dont see at traditional BBQ joints and the bartenders were prompt with the drinks and made sure we had everything we need. read more
