    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.

    Amazing texish bbq as they say, and they live up to the hype, phenomenal brisket and ribs, great brunch as well including hugeee cinamon rolls and breakfast foldies on paratha bread Highly recommend

    Brisket, brisket biriyani, pickles, pickled red onions, and chammandhi slaw. Delish!

    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!

    2 meat platter brisket and ribs with potato salad and mac n cheese

    1st off this place is amazing I was in town looking for some good bbq and this place was definitely that. They were super welcoming and engaging and the food was amazing. The ribs were literally fall off the bone and the brisket was super tender and tasty. The mac n cheese was simply amazing I will definitely be back here.

    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! ;)

    Love this place so much! Photos are from a couple different visits because I love it here so much, I'll keep retuning. Bartenders are some of the best around and the BBQ is unmatched. I love when I'm lucky enough to get a seat at the bar to enjoy their delicious and unique cocktails. Sometimes there is live music out back also. Don't be surprised if you see a line down the sidewalk! Worth the wait

    3 meat platter: brisket, flat iron & sausage. Sides- slaw & rice. Also featured Texas Twinkie.

    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...

    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.

    I got the rice , chicken , brisket , Mac and cheese , ancho bbq and corn bread.

    I left one review alright but I need to leave another one for Lydia. If you are wondering where to get your catering from for your wedding I will say 1000000% Southern Junction !!! We were able to try everything on the menu avaliable and she was willing to work with us for things if we wanted them included The service she provided was wonderful and welcoming and I am extremely excited to have them for my wedding next year !

    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!!

    Two meat combo with turkey and brisket, Mac & cheese and cornbread

    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

We got a brisket sandwich, a half rack of ribs and then an order of the BBQ eggrolls. My son loves the ribs and will eat so many of them. My wife finished his ribs and had the BBQ eggrolls which are incredible. And I got the brisket sandwich this time and it was great. The brisket was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Everything was delicious. When I walked in to pick it up, they were just finishing up my order and were super friendly. The inside of the restaurant is great and has that classic BBQ spot vibe so we will definitely be here more to dine in too.

I know what I am looking for. I will start by saying the staff and service at TSG are above par. Friendly, helpful, and fun. I stopped in to grab a to-go meal. Two meats and two sides. Ordering was easy and staff were helpful. Food was ready to go quickly. I didn't stay to eat, but the space looks like it could be very enjoyable with plenty of outdoor style seating. I ordered ribs and brisket with a side of coleslaw and tater tots. The servings were VERY generous. I was surprised at the weight of the bag. Tater tots beat expectations for a MN boy, and coleslaw was quite good. Ribs were fall-off the bone, if that is what you are looking this is for you. Me? I am looking for a little "tug" on my ribs. Even though they were falling off the the bone, they were surprisingly dry. Brisket rub was unique and delicious. The brisket on the other hand was so dry I needed liquid to get it down. This is the second time I have visited TSG. The first was shortly after they opened and my memory was that it wasn't for me. This visit confirmed it.

It was an easy task. The sandwich was very good. Smoked pork with the satisfying sweetness of bbq sauce?! I couldn't ask for more... but there was much more! I had to taste everything that we ordered. The Brunswick Stew is a must try. It was actually the only dish which was heated to a satisfactory temperature. The Hog Wild is a good way to sample four meats. Everything was beautifully served and presented, but the food wasn't warm enough. The flavor was there, no complaints. I can imagine how wonderful the chicken is straight out of the smoker pit. Ours was dry, not fresh. Oh! The potato salad brought back memories of my early days discovering the flavors of the States. It's exactly how my mother-in-law used to make it. I loved it! You can taste all the ingredients combined in perfect proportions with a mayonnaise-cream dressing. I could eat a whole bucket of this :). Mac & Cheese could have used much less butter. I believe, for some, it is just the right amount, but too much of a good thing can be overpowering. It's definitely a five star restaurant, but possibly not on Mondays. No one here wants to be particularly picky, just honest. The B&B BBQ is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Either way, we left full with plenty of leftovers. The owner made us feel welcome and invited. It's a great place to stop by if you're in the area.

This place also had exemplary reviews and unlike another BBQ joint I was considering due to their also very high reviews, they actually deliver. Only bummer was that I was looking for ribs and this place didnt have any to offer on their site. However what they do offer is very good. I had the brisket sandwich with greens and baked beans. The brisket was tender, flavorful, with a generous amount of meat. The bun complimented well as it was soft and gave me thoughts of old school BBQ with just meat and a plain slice of bread. I saturated it in the hot BBQ sauce. The sauce was thick, spicy but in a balanced, not overpowering way. The beans were thick, almost pasty, but good. The greens were my least favorite and I assume cooked by someone who doesn't understand the soul importance of this soul food staple, known as greens. Perhaps I'm being a bit dramatic, but they were the most al dente, undercooked "greens" I've ever experienced. Literally the crunchiest! Ordering was easy and delivery was prompt. Pricing was ok. The sauces were also good. Overall very good, would definitely have the sandwich again and again, but avoid the greens like the plague.
