New place for us we really enjoyed it! The bartender/server was great very welcoming and friendly and the food was fantastic. I really enjoyed the Logan berry BBQ the best which is interesting because I don't normally care for that kind of sauce! The eggs and chili were fantastic different I've never had anything like it but it was super good! We'd definitely come back again read more

This was our first time here and we had a wonderful experience! The food was amazing! I tried the Loganberry BBQ wings which is a homemade BBQ sauce. Our waiter was very attentive he did let us know it was only his third day but based on his recommendations and knowledge of the menu which turned out to come to our advantage when it came to ordering. read more

Gotta give Yankee "5" - Parking lot was slammed when I pulled in. Grabbed a seat at the bar to look at the menu and watch football. The staff was in hustle mode but everyone was being taken care of and some folks were obviously regulars. The service was friendly and on a personal level with the regulars. Everything was clean here - Often everything you touch in a BBQ joint is sticky. Thankfully, not an issue here. Brisket- 11/10 Turkey- 11/10 Potatoes- 9/10 Mac & cheese- personal preference, I like mine on the gooey side. These were a bit firmer. But the reason people go out for barbecue is for the meats and Yankee's meats, by far, blew away any BBQ around town. Super moist, great texture, not overly smoky, just luscious. read more

So this was the 2nd visit in 3 weeks. The smash burger was outstanding. I asked for the sauce to be on the side. Amazing with fries. I also got the 2 meat and 2 side to go. This time I chose the brisket and ribs. Exactly what I wanted. Fall of the bone ribs no sauce needed and the brisket was excellent just like the first time. Mac and cheese and corn bread was right on point. Will definitely be back read more

Yankee BBQ - Small Sampler Platter. Onions, Tots, Hot link, Pulled Pork, Ribs, Smoked Turkey with Brisket underneath - Barbeque Near Me - Hamburg, New York

We loved Yankee BBQ at their takeout location on Route 5 in Hamburg, so we were excited to try out the new location. Parking appeared to be shared with the business next door. It's floor to ceiling Bills memorabilia inside, and there are a few TVs around. The bartender and hostess greeted us right away, and the server came by shortly after we sat. We decided to split a large sampler. It's more than enough food for 2, Loganberry BBQ Sauce goes with everything, the turkey and cheesy potatoes were my favorite- that hasn't changed from the old location. We had quite a bit of spicy sausage leftover, it's loaded with jalapeños, it has some hang time. I'm sure someone likes it, just not me, too spicy. read more

Food was good... as always! However, portion wise it was not worth the money. I spent $66 on the large sampler but you get more buy 2 of the $33 3 meats 3 sides sampler... the sides were very small. The service was good. Order was taken immediately and food came out quickly! They've only been open for 6 days so there were some small issues but it did not effect the service such as being unsure about Apple Pay and using the phone for payment, but no biggie bec I had my credit card. I do miss the traditional Texas line for the food where you order the food as you work your way down the line than grab a seat. The new location is more of a bbq restaurant with waitresses and an actual bar. Looks amazing inside. Beautiful wood through out the place and decent size bar with tvs. I'll be back but I'll order the combos instead of samplers read more

We have always wanted to stop but seem to forget about it! We are so glad we stopped for dinner today. The smoked turkey and brisket were delicious and fork tender. The beans and mac and cheese were also really good. My husband had the fries and they were odd, they were fresh cut but seemed like they were cooked and then heated up and got really over cooked. The food came out room temperature not hot which was less than ideal also. We will be back again. read more

Yankee BBQ - Smoked turkey & brisket with baked beans and Mac & cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Hamburg, New York

I ordered a brisket sandwich on Sunday past. Very much looking forward to enjoying it. When I got home (a two minute drive) I was sorely disappointed. The meat was absolutely tough and without any moisture. It was definitely leftover and old. Even the baked beans for my side were dried out. It was 5pm....not late at all. Just unacceptable. read more

I was really looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately, I was disappointed within the first five minutes of walking in. The restaurant wasn't very busy, yet we still waited about five minutes to be seated--even though the host clearly noticed us. Once seated, I started a stopwatch out of curiosity. It took 10 minutes before anyone came over to acknowledge us. It honestly felt like we were an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. While our waitress was polite and kind, but yelled across the restaurant to see if we were ok . The other floor staff were openly discussing internal issues and complaints about other restaurants right in the dining area--definitely unprofessional. On a more positive note, the cook who brought out our food was courteous and professional. He was also the only one who asked if we needed anything else. As for the food: I've been barbecuing for 30 years and have tried BBQ in over 15 states, so I know what to expect. Unfortunately, the ribs were underwhelming. The bark from the rub was too heavy and tasted burnt. The brisket was decent--flavorful, though it had a bit too much fat left on it, and again, the rub made it taste slightly burnt. The standout items were the sides. The baked beans and mac and cheese were excellent--definitely the highlight of the meal. Our group also ordered the wedge salad with pulled pork, which was very good. Overall, the food wasn't terrible, but the service needs serious improvement. I plan to give it another try in a few months, possibly at a different time or on a different day. However, if the current issues persist, I'm not confident the restaurant will be around for the long haul. I truly wish them the best of luck, I would love them to be in business a long time, but their service needs A LOT of work, and more training. read more

2nd visit to the new location. Much better experience today. Working out the kinks! Dining room has a very cool vibe. Clean and comfortable too. Service was great and food came out pretty quick. Loaded fries with brisket for me. HUGE, the tray was full! Easily could have fed two adults. Wife chose the brisket sandwich and smoked mac and cheese. She loved it. Prices were super reasonable in my opinion. Especially for the quantity and quality of food we got. Give em a try! read more

Very happy with their new location! We went on a Friday evening, plenty of tables available. Our server was super friendly and was able to recommend a few things. We decided to split and I ordered the smash burger and hubs ordered the three meat platter with baked beans, tots and mac and cheese as sides. Everything tasted great. Beans were beans (I don't eat them) and I wouldn't write home about the Mac and cheese, but it was a solid 7. The meatssss. Turkey, pulled pork then brisket in order of preference. My smash burger was also really good! I got fries and hubs ordered got tots, perfectly cooked. read more

Giving 4 stars for what feels like a new or up and coming restaurant that doesn't quite yet have everything together. I sat at 3:45 and was only given the option for the lunch menu, dinner started at 4. I feel like my options were a little limited. The menu seems a little all over the place and is a little confusing to be honest. The sausage was pretty decent, but besides that everything was bland and just meh. The Carolina bbq sauce was decent, but I actually hated their house sauce. It was very weird. Smoked mac n cheese was super bland, super dry. Service was decent, except the food runner when setting my plate down spilled my sausage on the bar top and just looked at me until I put it back on the tray myself. Id like to go back and try some actual bbq, hopefully I get there 15 minutes later next time. Giving 4 stars because I don't want to hurt their business but things need to get tightened up. read more

Yankee BBQ - Sausage, fries, smoked mac - Barbeque Near Me - Hamburg, New York

We arrived just as they were opening for the day and we were told we could pick any seat we would like. First impressions , the new home for yankee is really quite nice inside, very clean and well decorated with all kinds of bills memorabilia. The staff was super friendly and had our food and drink request within a few minutes of sitting at the table. We both opted for the two meat, two side. I chose the brisket, pulled pork , fries and cheesey potatoes. The misses selected the turkey, pork, tots and smoked Mac. The food came out rather quickly, but the only downside was it was all lukewarm at best. Now I don't expect bbq to be piping hot (nobody wants overcooked meat), but at least a little warmer than it was would have been nice. Flavor though was good (the misses remarked it was heavy on the pepper), portions were definitely a little on the small side for the brisket (3ish slices total) and the sauces were all great. We also got some cheesecake to go, but that has yet to be sampled. Cheesecake has been sampled at home and it's definitely has a really peculiar flavor with the smoke and fairly strong aftertaste. read more

BY FAR, not even close, the absolute WORST barbecue I ever had. it was dried out, looked like it was made the day before and tasted like it was made two weeks before. The coleslaw had so much black pepper in it that we couldn't eat it. I really don't know what else to say. I would normally contact the restaurant but I didn't want them thinking I'm trolling for a free meal. There can be no redemption. It was BAD. read more

Went for lunch at Yankee BBQ today and had a combo platter. Meat was awesome, brisket and pulled pork, but the sides were terrible. I got Mac and cheese and cheesy potatoes and they were both Luke warm and looked old, not fresh at all. Unfortunate because I was looking so forward to going there. read more

I really want to like this place but i unfortunately did not. The servers were friendly and the atmosphere quiet. I feel like for $22, the portions are very small. I ordered their 2 meat 2 sides. I got 3 tiny ribs the size of my index finger, with not allot of meat- although what was on it was fall off the bone and delicious. The 5 pieces of brisket were very dry. The Mac & cheese I didn't like either, it tasted funny. Everything had too much pepper. The tots were decent read more

All the meats were smoked well! The hot link is not for the faint of heart, and I loved it. A surprise cheese inside. All the meats were so juicy, definitely not dry. The beans were great and meaty and the cheesy potatoes were delicious! read more

My brother first told me about Yankee BBQ and I'm so glad he did! When you walk in, the ordering counter is in front of you, menu & kitchen to the right and a small dining area (about 10 tables) to the left. The staff was friendly & you could tell they cared about your experience. The menu has sandwiches, sides, mixed platters, dessert, beer & more! We ordered the sampler platter for 4, which came with turkey, brisket, pulled pork, hot sausage links, ribs and 4 sides (we opted for Mac & cheese, baked beans, cheesy potatoes and slaw). All the meats were smoked wonderfully, very flavorful & great texture. I loved it all, but the star of the show was the brisket; it had a smoke ring so beautiful it could bring a tear to your eye! Second runner up was the hot sausage... It was spicy, but not too spicy, with great flavor and little cheesy bits throughout. The special on Wed was Loganberry burnt ends. The customer in front of us said they're amazing! I would definitely visit again. Make sure you get there as early as you can for the best selection. We arrived around 445 or so and were able to order anything, but when we left a little after 5, the brisket was sold out! read more

Really tasty bbq, good service. We have been in a few times and will be back again. I liked the turkey sandwich.

I have been wanting to try this small but busy BBQ place since I moved to WNY. I finally had the time to come in and try their food and drinks. Lots of Bills memorabilia. As they should. Not super noisy and the music is there just not overwhelming which makes for great conversations with your company and the waitstaff. These ladies are so sweet. They do not split checks which I'm super fine with so bring enough to split in your own or hit the ATM in the corner. Don't threaten with a bad review just cause. Any who check out the photos we got the Smoked Meatballs, Smash burger, and smoked and fried wings! Yes! They are smoked annnnnnd fried!!! The drinks are great the Radioactive Iced Tea is sweet so I had mine with soda water. read more

Delicious bbq in a blink and you will miss it building along Route 5 in Blasdell. I shared a small bbq platter that included 5 meats and 2 sides for $34 (actually quite reasonable of a price for the portion) . My favorite among the meats was the pulled pork and smoked Turkey . The beans were really good too ! The staff was quite friendly and helpful with giving us suggestions and showed a definite interest in our visit . I would definitely recommend them for your bbq needs ! read more

We had Yankee BBQ cater our family reunion in August. We ordered for 45 as we had 40+ replies. The food was delicious , hot an ready to serve. We had many compliments on the pulled pork and mac and cheese and more questions on"where is this place!" Would gladly order from there again! Brian and his staff were great!

After reading reviews, wanted to give it a try. We were the only table at 3pm on a Saturday. Our server was pretty much non existent, with an empty restaurant? Could hear the other severs sitting at the bar talking. Our food took 35 minutes. And not hot. The BBQ was okay. That's it. Okay. The wings were enjoyed, the salad, but the BBQ was dry/bland, even with sauce. Small town so not many choices. Wouldn't return. read more

Decided to try Yankee bbq for takeout. Ordered wings for an appetizer they were good but I've seen bigger wings on a sparrow. My main course and reason for going there was a smoked fish fry. It was small in size by buffalo standards and was dry as leather. The sides were tasteless beans an inedible slaw will never go back. Paid over 60$ dollars for this disappointment read more

I really wanted to like it. Everything I had was way too over peppered - I can understand the rub on the brisket. There was sooo much black pepper in the coleslaw - all I could taste by the end was pepper. It killed it. it would have been nice for something to balance out the rub on the brisket... Maybe I will return and try the pizza or wings. read more

Meat was tender. But sauce was not tangy enough for me. Mac n cheese and coleslaw had no flavor at all. French fries were terrible. They were overcooked and stiff. I'm from the South, not so sure Yankees can do BBQ. Don't hate me. read more

Yankee BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Hamburg, New York

(Out of 5) Wait Time = 5; food flavor and cost = 3.5; service = 1. Our assigned waitress walked around to other tables, greeting them and welcoming them, talking to them openly as if they're neighbors. Compliments about their high school years, outfits, hair, etc. 15 mins later, after placing our order to a different waitress (long black hair), our assigned waitress (blonde ponytail) greeted us. No compliments or greetings except if we're ready to order. Placed our order and it came out within 15 minutes (which was nice!) Brought out by the other waitress who got our drinks though. Who also grabbed napkins and condiments without hesitation. Original waitress only offered a single refill, but continued to talk to other tables extra-friendly. In addition, I felt pressured to tip. Original waitress had a handheld POS pad for card transactions. At the "friendly" tables, she would leave it for the customer to tip and walk away, without supervision and no added pressure. For our table, original waitress held the POS pad in her hand when it was on the tip-screen. Could I have selected 0? Yes. But that felt inconsistent, and borderline manipulative. So I offered a tip, even though I didn't want to. As new customers, it would be important to make us feel included too; after all, newcomers are the ones who tell neighbors and family to come over to new places. Food had good flavor and great tenderness, but was extra peppery. 3 options for BBQ sauce at your table, but all were savory and sweet. No heat as an option. Prices could have been less, but since it's a new location, I understand if they need to upcharge. I usually give benefits of doubts to places, so hoping to give it an honest 2nd chance in the future. Probably not for a while though. read more

I love BBQ and have eaten it everywhere that matters; Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kansas City. . . What Yankee BBQ is doing, captures the best elements from these regions, and excels! The BBQ meats reach a tremendous level of excellence in texture, flavor, tenderness, and the bark on the brisket is difficult to find anywhere. Service is great, friendly, and helpful. Food comes out fast. Looking forward to our next visit, and to sample more items on the menu! read more

Absolutely delicious! If you're looking for great Texas BBQ, you must try out Yankee BBQ! The pulled pork is fantastic, the brisket is melt in your mouth, delicious sides, and their special loganberry BBQ sauce is so good!

Hello I finally got to visit your establishment today, I wanted to get a rib dinner with beans and cheesey potatoes, however when I walked in, I was welcomed like I matter, the greetings and the customer service I received was excellent and the young man explained everything to me, and the young lady was excellent also. I'm saying this because of their wonderful and outstanding quality of customer service, I ended up buying a slab of ribs, brisket, cheesey potatoes and beans, and a red pop. On my way home, I pulled over and started tasting everything. I never really cared for smoked meat because some places over smoke it, but this was excellent. I'm so happy with the service and food. I was on lunch and had to get back to work, or i would have stayed and enjoyed my lunch there. The restaurant is clean and very inviting. Thank you so much for making me feel welcomed read more

I've been smoking meat close to 30 years. Started with turkeys and smoke all types of meat on all types of smokers. I heard Yankee bbq uses offset smokers. For me that's the best way to smoke food. Yankee bbq is the real deal. The meats I was impressed with were the brisket, turkey, pulled pork and the jalapeño cheddar sausage. The ribs although cooked well lacked in flavor. Maybe just the batch I got. I would have to try them again. The coleslaw also needs a little help. It was dry and peppery. Maybe some mayo or enough mayo to make it creamy. A little sprinkle of smoked paprika on top. The Mac and cheese and cheesy potatoes were good but tasted similar. You know it's great bbq when you don't touch the bbq sauces on the table. I had to try them. First I tried was their regular bbq sauce but there was way too much cumin seasoning in it making everything taste like tacos. The sweet bbq sauce is a mustard based sauce that screams Carolina than a sweet sauce. I would scrap those 2 sauces and start over. But I didn't need them and you shouldn't if the meat is good. Good bbq doesn't need sauce. I can't give an honest review of the beans because I forgot about them. Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant. The meat shines as it should. This bbq restaurant crushes any bbq restaurant in western New York that I have tried. I would definitely go back. read more

Yankee BBQ - 5 meats and 4 sides. - Barbeque Near Me - Hamburg, New York

Awesome local BBQ! This place is new and opened during Covid. Such an awesome addition to the Southtowns area. We have been meaning to try this place because we drive by often and can smell the smoker going to work in the parking lot. We finally had the opportunity and were impressed! They serve Texas style BBQ and even store different wood varieties in the entrance of their storefront. I have learned a lot about the importance of mixing wood varieties, for the perfect flavor, from watching cooking and chef shows during covid. So when I saw this, I knew these guys knew their craft. They have a variety of meats which are all sold by the pound. It's cool to be able to try a little of each meat and not to commit to a full meal. They serve what they have each day until they run out. This place is casual and once you order and check out there is a small indoor seating area or you can opt for take out. We chose the pork ribs, brisket and smoked mac and cheese. The meats were delicious, fall off the bone tender but had just enough outside char and chew so they weren't mushy. The BBQ sauce itself was also to die for. My significant other said it's the best sauce he's ever had. We will see if we can buy a bottle to keep at home next time we visit. Everyone was wearing masks and there were instructions on the exterior door to not crowd the entrance due to pandemic guidelines. They were keeping the place clean And we felt safe to eat here. read more

Just fed up with this place. I've tried hoping but not at an ideal day or time. no parking it was packed. I mean that's a good sign if you're able to eat their food. They need a serious shot of stragetizing their approach to a business that has a great chance of success. Piss enough people off and no matter how good your food is it'll hurt them. I thought hey maybe they offer online ordering of sure great one problem it's not up and running another F up. Phone they never answer , There's no legit meno that I can find. THEY BEST GET THEIR DUCKS IN A ROW OR THEY'LL BE LOSING OUT. read more
