John Brown Smokehouse

I'll admit the presentation was good. But we were disappointed. The bun,... It wasn't toasted!! Biting into a good looking sandwich with a cold bun is a big No No!! We tried the Spicy Beef and the Pulled Pork Sandwiches. The baked beans tasted like a can of pork n beans with bits of brisket. Best part of the meal...the french fries. Sorry I know this eatery is rated high, but not in my book. The place itself was nice and inviting..."where everyone knows your name" kinda feel. Sorry no pictures. Maybe we'll go back to try something else...who knows🤷‍♀️

The ribs are awesome. If you like smoke ribs that is the place to go.

Damn good Ribs deffinatly love the dry rub ...top ribs in the tri state area

At the moment you step in that restaurant the personel give you an agreeable feeling. Very congenial crew, it is a lovely place to go out with friends or with your date. yummy cuisine, skillful chef, competitive cost and courteous service. Highly recommended.

This barbecue is absolutely phenomenal. Seriously. Some of the best I've ever had.

As a Kansas City native, this is my absolute favorite spot for burnt ends outside of Kansas City. Also, usually a Boulevard or two on tap along with excellent other selections. As a bonus, there's a near-dessert-like cornbread that I can't avoid ordering.

OooooooOoo man how good is that brisket?! Only having ordered brisket and pulled pork with my friend Chester, I'm excited to try a little bit of everything on the menu! That hot sauce too is, really too spicy. Try with caution. It's a great date spot for couples who are on the way to Gantry Park and the servers are really kind and nice. Thanks for the great experience!If you like my reviews, hit the thumbs up. I try to put effort in these reviews to better prepare people for their upcoming experiences, unlike others who post up single word reviews just to say they are, "local guides."I appreciate all the views and love you all give! ❤

Burnt ends are my weakness... definitely recommended for anyone strolling thru L.I.C

We met with friends at this restaurant for a meeting. my friend recommended this restaurant. Well, it was a winning. The staff were extremely nice and we felt good. The meal was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed every moment and we shall definitely come back again. Warmly recommended.

Superb! Burnt ends were to die for. Ribs were excellent as well. Mac and cheese, pulled pork and brisket too. Good selection of craft beer on tap, very friendly service. Will definitely go back when I visit the area again.

Best place in Queens to get authentic BBQ outside of the South. I go to this place religiously with my wife she loves this place as well.

The food here is amazing and very quickly prepared which I was surprised you can see them do everything right in front of you the ribs are outstanding it's so good I'm salivating just thinking about it right now

I ordered a pound of burnt ends with a side of corn bread to share. The burnt ends were so beautiful I almost cried. It was a perfect mix between tender, fatty and crispy bits of brisket. There was a nice smokey flavor and it wasn't too salty so if you prefer, you can have it with BBQ sauce.The corn bread was served warm and it was also shockingly delicious. It was more like a creamy pudding with bits of corn! It wasn't too sweet and soooo comforting. I could eat many more if I didn't care for my waistline.I'm looking forward to return!

Best Kansas City BBQ on the east coast. Fair price outstanding food. Iwish they carried Gates, Heywards or other KC bbq sauces. The lady who works the back area cleaning and bringing food is the best in service and most friendliest.

Nice ambiance and very nice peiple. Sides were delicious, meat was good.
