– This place came recommended from a close friend that lives in the area. We went on a Monday and the place wasn't very packed, but not empty either. Out waitress, Cici, was very attentive and on top of everything. A basket of miniature cornbread muffins is brought to the table free of charge served with whipped butter. VERY GOOD. My guests and I ordered Texas Style wings Hennessy style and I had the Coconut Curry Chicken & Shrimp. Their drinks are also stronger when served fronzen! It was amazing. Overall I really enjoyed the restaurant and will come back again.
Been coming here since I was a little girl. Their food has always been on point! I normally get the Hennessy steak when I'm super duper hungry. It tastes like heaven! Their bartenders are awesome! The drinks had me feeling all sorts of awesome paired with their live DJ. Say what you want about this place put their portions are very generous.
I'm a fairly honest person so I can admit that this restaurant is in a less than desirable location. However, I'm only aware of that through word of mouth and through reading reviews not because of anything I've seen. This place has three things I really like – pretty girls, good food, and large portions. I want to say at least 2/3 of the waitresses are really pretty and I know that doesn't matter when it comes to quality but I like what I like, okay? Also, the food is bomb. The drinks are huge and pretty hit or miss. I've had some STRONG drinks here and some watered down ones but for a few extra dollars you can get an extra shot of whatever to give you a buzz. If you don't pace yourself or eat beforehand you'll probably leave feeling pretty nice but you'll also probably get really full. They serve corn bread muffins that you can snack on while you order and wait which are so good, also, they come with whipped butter and I love me some whipped butter. I've been here way more times than I can count so I've tried a lot of things and I ALWAYS go back to the rasta pasta. In fact, I get disappointed with myself when I don't order it. I always get it without the peas because gross. But I've also ordered the shrimp Caesar salad, chicken and waffles (so, so good), the coconut tempura shrimp, fried mac 'n cheese balls, the coconut curry shrimp and chicken – I've always been satisfied. The servers are always pretty attentive and they wear hair nets which I thought I was a little odd but thinking about it, that's great. I actually came here for my 24th birthday and I had a coupon (lol, of course I did) for a free birthday cheesecake and they sang to me. I guess they could see it in my face that I was overwhelmed and my waitress actually apologized afterward which I thought was so cute. You didn't do anything wrong, girl! I'm just a lot. Anyway, if you're not scared of the neighborhood, I'd say go for it. Mind you, I haven't been here in over a year but I'm planning to go back soon.
I used to frequent this location about 3 years ago and it was the spot. Lots of young people hanging out in the bar area, bartenders were cool which equated to great drinks and the bar bites were decent. My friends and I would always have a good time.
Fast foward to now… I stopped in last night with the idea of having a few drinks. Once we were seated though my stomach had other plans. Im a sometimes conscious eater and should have known there wouldnt be many food options on the menu for me. My husband and I stared at their extensive menu for 15 minutes trying to "settle" on what we would get.
The food we ordered was less than mediocre. My crab stuffed shrimp were tiny shrimp with a wad of "crab" stuffing. The stuffing tasted like flour, it was just bad. Hubbys chicken tacos were decent but overwhelmed with onions and tomatoes. Lettuce was little to non existent. We both had rice and beans as our sides and agreed it was the best tasting thing on our plates.
Ofcourse our drinks were good. Big, strong and had both of us feeling nice at the end of the night. On top of that, we downed the Henny and Malibu shooters we ordered right before we left.
The bar area here is not my scene anymore and table service just for drinks, I think, would be a bit weird and unexpected. Only benefit is you get their cornbread when you sit at a table, hopefully they can work on making sure it's warm when they serve it to you.
Bronx BBQ might be in a sketchy area, but the meal we had was legit. I was with my mom for lunch and we had the early bird special. We were greeted by our delightful server, Shanae, with warm mini corn muffins and whipped butter…off to a good start!
Our huge–and very easy on the wallet–meal consisted of 2 half chickens (moist meat with crisp skin–so good) served with zesty BBQ sauce and warm honey sauces (a nice touch) to dip in, with a side of crispy, piping hot, and nicely seasoned fries (mom had Spanish rice & beans) for $13.99. Because we were
extra hungry, we also ordered a side of Mac & cheese, which had good flavor, and was browned crisp on top (which I appreciated), but a little overcooked and mushy in the noodle department.
The menu is extensive and I was interested in the Hennessy glazed ribs. I'm sure we will be back to try those in the near future.
After dining here while a murder occurred outside of BBBQ roughly 6 months ago, I vowed to never return. However, that incident had 0 to do with the restaurant, skilled bar staff or Food. That incident didn't stop me from returning for the Texas sized cocktails and meals.
I returned yesterday and one of my favorite managers was working. The girls on staff were competent, friendly and had pleasant singing voices (as they performed throughout the night…Turn this into a partial strip club already!!!!) In an area dominated by chain restaurants, with TERRIBLE bars, BBBQ was my only saving grace for Bday drinks with my fellow Yelp Elite and good friend. We ordered The Rick Ross (Hynotiq, Patron, and…rum?) and a Cadillac Margarita. Several sips in…I was 1/2 way trashed. Luckily, I know my poor tolerance and I ordered buffalo wings and Crab Wontons to absorb my alcohol content.
The Music here never fails. Any day of the week it's a TURN UP. The staff is always pleasant. The food has been consistent for me. When ordering appetizers and meals: STICK TO BBQ Basics. Hot Wings, fry samplers etc. They also do very good Asian dishes here. My friend ordered the Samurai Stir Fry and it was very flavorful with fresh vegetables. For Meals: I highly suggest the Honey Fried Chicken, Asparagus and MAC N Cheese. Their Mac and Cheese is comparable to my Mother's. That means it's damn good.
DRANKS- Get the Hennessey Coolada, Run Punch OR Frozen Green Apple Martini. Give the extra test tube shot to the Bday Girl or Guy.
I have been here on numerous occasions for Late Night Dates and Girls Nights for cocktails and bites because of the atmosphere. It's a FUN one. The ambiance is dim lighting and sexy and the live DJ makes it more interesting on weekends. They have a bar area that is very much separate from the main dining area and I appreciate it. While the rowdy ratchets watch the Knicks and Giants game, I can enjoy my Henney Coolada in peace.
BBBQ has won a special place in my heart. I'd like to see them bring in more skilled chefs and introduce a new menu sometime soon.

Born and raised in the Bronx. BBQ always been in my top ten restaurant dinning. Here today for lunch celebrating my birthday. I actually love the doors to enter. The wood work is elegant. Wish I had them on my doors. Once you enter. The bar location completely separate from the dinning area. We were the only ones there for dinning. Our hostess walked us too our booth. Immediately she offered drink options. Omg what a glass presentation. Still sipping. Lol. I ordered curry shrimp and chicken with yellow rice and unfortunately wasn't able too finish it all. Container to go was my option. Decor of the place makes you feel like your in a dungeon. Fire flaming lights too their cozy booth. Everything layed out so no matter where your dinning you can see the television. Staffing very friendly.
I did take out, actually ordered through my phone using the yelp site (smiley face) took about 20 mins checked the food and everything that i ordered was there. I order honey fried chicken buffalo spicy wings a side of mash potatoes and corn bread. When i got home the first thing i ate were the buffalo wings they were delicious not too spicy or hot the carrots that came with it stucked. The honey chicken was literally friend chicken with with like the honey sitting on the bottom of the container. it didnt bother me much because i think i was hungry lol. but it was fair the mash potatoes were delicious nice and seasoned with the red skins still in them. I think the whole honey just sitting there is what kinda bummed me
