Reviews for Hometown Bar-B-Que in Brooklyn, NY
Beef better than pork here. Found the pork to be dry, but the beef ribs to be excellent. Bacon was not bad. Bar has small but... excellent choices. Tons of outdoor seating. The live band made the experience so much better. Read more
This place was alright. I was disappointed that by the time we got to the line to order, they'd run out of certain food options.... It definitely reminded me of a farmhouse bbq place, especially with the lighting. Some of the food was reasonably priced. Butothers, you have to steer clear of and not order at all. Still, pay a visit and have some nicely cooked BBQ. Read more
Delicious food in a great neighborhood. It's not the easiest place to get to, but it's worth the trip! There's a queue to order... food where they prepare some things immediately, then the server will bring out the rest. Separate queue for the bar. Meat isserved by the half pound. We had brisket, Korean ribs, Vietnamese wings, and bacon, which were all delicious! The Mac n cheesewas perfect. Also added a side of sweet honey-soaked corn bread which was phenomenal. If you're traveling to the area for this,be sure to also check out Key Lime Pie around the corner for dessert! Read more
Really phenomenal BBQ, the best I?ve had since being in NYC. The meats and sides are absolutely amazing. It?s a really nice... location too - a bit hard to reach from the city (45 min by ferry/subway), but it?s really nicely decorated with plenty ofspace. Wish they had more fans because it is HOT in the building, but would be fun to come at night when it is cooler out (andthey have live music!). The cornbread, pickles, and mac and cheese were delicious. The brisket was super juicy and I liked theturkey too. The ribs were a bit dry but still good. The line gets super long during the day (was about 30 minutes on a Saturdayat 2pm) and I imagine it?s longer at night. I will 100% come back here, had a great time and would highly recommend.

Came here around 6:30 and finally got to order at 8:30. The long wait here is pretty normal for hometown so that was expected.... However, when you do order make sure they charge your for the right amount that you ordered. I ordered 3 lb of brisket but gotcharged for 3.5 lb. The brisket here is pretty good. They cut you nice thick cuts that are very juicy. If I come back I'ddefinitely be getting more of those.The ribs we got were pretty lukewarm and pretty tough to eat honestly(especially the endpiece they gave to us). The smokey taste was definitely there though but overall I think they can be better. We got a bunch ofother sides that seemed pretty average. I liked the Italian sausage but wish they had more snap to them since they seemed mostlysoft. One other thing to note was how the corn bread was so dry and hard that it bent the plastic fork we used to eat. Read more
The experience was good - with the music, outdoor tables and some nice staff. The food is disappointingly underwhelming. All the... food was served cold. The brisket is forgettable without discernible smoky flavor or any flavor. The ribs were slightly betterbut mostly just salty. The chicken wings were at least spicy. The potato salad should be called/described as mashed potatoessince food is about texture not just flavor and it is mashed. The chili was a bit spicy but otherwise uninteresting. The cornbread is good and except for the way too sweet bacon in it the Bloody Mary is excellent. Wouldn?t spend the money again. Read more
One of my favourite barbecue restaurants in the world. I was in NYC for a 6h layover and spent the whole time rushing here... grabbing a bite then heading back to the airport. It is a fantastic brisket and amazing coleslaw. The sausage was a bitdisappointing as it was not as ?smooth? tasting. Pulled pork also brilliant. I have tried almost everything on the menu and Ihighly recommend going again. I do wish they sold their sauces in easier to transport containers, I don?t live in the US sobringing it with me would be a dream. Highly, highly recommend. Read more
Phenomenal time we all had !! A bunch of coworkers came here to celebrate a birthday. The food is a bit pricey but so worth... every penny, from the meat to the drinks everything was incredible & everyone of us enjoyed the night !! So much food left totake with us as well.. Loved the rustic & family feel when you're here as a group ! If you haven't tried Hometown I highlyrecommend at least once ! Read more
