First time visiting Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and I had high expectations. Everyone told me this is an…read moreiconic spot in Syracuse, and I was not disappointed. I was upstairs with a private event. The space is massive, could likely hold 300 people comfortably. There's even a stage space, great for karaoke or a work event. We were served buffet style and everything was INCREDIBLE. Things easily dry out on a buffet line, but not here. Everything was fresh, juicy and tender. My favorite was the pulled pork and mac and cheese. I'll definitely be back the next time im in the area!

The inaugural one for syracuse had to be dinosaurs. Sit down or takeout the food was hot, flavorful, large enough for 2 meals and felt like I got the most bang for my buck. The tres Nino platter acts a sampling of Pulled Pork, Brisket, and Ribs. With it I got both Mac Salad and Mac N Cheese as well as a piece of corn bread. The Pulled pork was the smallest portion of the three but still worth all 3 bites. The slices of brisket were filling. The mac n cheese has always been my favorite side from them with its size and addition of BBQ seasonings its unique and never disappoints. The ribs and Mac Salad were tasty and large enough they will make a second meal. There is a reason people come from all over for it.

It started off strong by being greeted by a friendly waitress and delicious loaded fries, but what should've been the star of the show was lacking: gumbo. Not only was it a small serving for nearly $30, but it hardly had any chicken or meat and was lacking flavor. My partner enjoyed his meatball sandwich a bit more, but again was disappointed with the smaller size of his meal. Perhaps there are better things to order that we should've!

Seemed like a very authentic hole-in-the-wall, and I will definitely be back. I had the beef soup. It was pho-like, in a huge bowl with very thin beef (but lots of it) and filled with spicy peppers. Get some water, those peppers pack a pleasant punch. I also had bbq chicken, lamb. They both were like smallish juicy skewers. The chicken was actually better than the lamb, but both were delightful. Finally I tried the BBQ squid. It was tough to describe. Firm, but not too tough or chewy. It came in a sauce that was like the chef had gone to heaven and brought back some soy sauce just for you. Overall great experience.

We are regular customers since it's been open, mostly for takeout (lunch and dinner). Our regular…read moreorder is beef sautéed handpulled noodles, shrimp sautéed handpulled noodles, and an order of lamb skewers. Order is ready within 20 min of the call, we pick it up and everything is piping hot and fresh. One order of noodles is good for 2 people, and we save the rest for the next day. There is a variety of veg in each order as well - cabbage, carrot, brocolli, mushroom, and a few others I'm probably forgetting. We opt for the shrimp instead of the seafood option because you get more shrimp and less fake crabmeat. It goes without saying that the quicker you start on the noodles, the less soggy they are (this isn't usually a problem for us). Flavor is nice and light, not excessively salty and a good taste of garlic and sesame oil. You get three skewers in one order, there's not a ton of meat on the stick but it's nicely roasted with a dusting of the chili salt seasoning that brings back memories of street food in China. My husband mainly gets it for nostalgic purposes haha - but it's a nice snack. Total comes to $26, which feeds two people two meals, so really good value. Great for a night off from cooking.

We got the hot pot and the bbq. Definitely take sometime to explore. We missed a few things til almost the end.

I had the mushroom base with ramen noodles and 3-4 different kinds of mushrooms!! The Korean BBQ was the star however cooking it right at our booth in the table!! The hanger steaks are amazing, Ribeye was good but the pork ribs....YUMMY!! Pricey but you don't leave hungry!! All you can eat over 2 hours and they have some sweets for dessert

I believe they focus more on take out than dine in. When I walked in all the lights were off and the place seemed empty, but then I saw a worker and said I was there for a pick-up order. My order was ready when they said it would be so I appreciate that. I decided to try their fried dumplings and red chili chicken wings. The sauce that came with the dumplings was lacking flavor but overall the dumplings had a good filling and nice crisp.
