As far as BBQ sports bars in the city goes, this does a great job. Brisket and pulled pork won't be the best you've ever had, but it's certainly not the worst. Plates are big, sharing is enough!

Omg the frickles, the brisket, the cornbread, the sliders ....don't get me started on the drink. Everything was great the atmosphere was great and the staff was excellent

For the gluttonous, try out the chain's unlimited ribs deals, offered on Sundays. Try out any flavor of pork ribs or get a combination plate that includes all three. Read more

Larger and cleaner than their other outposts, but still serving the same delicious BBQ and DRINKS. Order from the happy hour menu for the best deals.

Everything was amazing!!! Go with CAROLINA COOLER for a pitcher drink!!! You'll love it! Great place to loosen up and get wild for a Friday, Saturday HELL... SUNDAY night!

As a professional nachos tester, I have to say that the nachos I had here last night were perfect! A lot of toppings/crispy chips/lots of beans guac/sour cream/perfection

I've never had anything overly positive to say about the food, but I tried their 3$ each sliders and the buffalo chicken one is out of this world. Even the classic burger slider was great. I would h

My favorite Bro J's location. Great to hang and meet up with friends after work. Grab some cheap tall boy PBRs and try the frozen Margarita

They have Cheerwine here. If you are from the South, you'll get why this rocks. If not, you must taste it's cherry goodness for yourself.

Get the pulled pork sandwich and add the Carolina BBQ!!! The fried pickles are also incredible.
Ricky SherrillJuly 21, 2015
The Monday Night special is all you can eat wings & beef tips. Plus ACC games on TV. Does it get any better?

Best BBQ and fun atmosphere in NYC... Their locations are killer too.
Justin DombrowskiOctober 25, 2014
Basically a pricey 90s college bar. Fine insofar as that goes, so a nice nostalgic place to watch games. But avoid the Mac n cheese: uses Velveeta.
Tim MesserschmidtFebruary 16, 2016
Had pulled pork with sweet potato tots - absolutely delicious!
Liz P.July 7, 2012
Great place definitely use the free pbr or marg from four square. Be careful if Ariel is your waitress. She screwed my friend and cousin over on the bill, charging $230 for a $30 meal

Great BBQ and happy hour good place to hit before Irving Plaza.
SNOCRUApril 6, 2013
Great BBQ food, but you gotta show up early to get a seat. Gets pretty crowded
Vanessa GuzmánApril 30, 2013
The place is fun but the margaritas aren't good. Go for the swamp water if you are here with friends!
Michael ONovember 23, 2014
Great cost shots gets really crowded and the BBQ is great and large portions
Judy NJune 3, 2016
Both my husband and I love the food, the drinks and the atmosphere
Scott InglesDecember 10, 2014
Pulled pork nachos, burgers, fried brussels sprouts, picklebacks and ACC basketball/football games
JoeyMarch 30, 2012
Burgers are amazing, sweet potato fries not so much. The bar is huge too so thats a big plus!
CompassApril 25, 2014
The sports bar was once a best-kept-secret in the neighborhood, but now attracts neighbors for its loud tunes and fireplace.
CBS New YorkJuly 7, 2015
They're serving a special cocktail called The Charleston and frickles during NYC Cocktail Week (July 13th through the 17th). Read more

You can reserve a table downstairs for a large party very easily b

Try the BLFGT - why didn't anyone think to put fried green tomatoes on a sandwich before?
Matthew McClureJanuary 27, 2013
They won't serve fishbowls after 10pm. Friend and I were in restaurant at 9:45, got sat right around 10, and were unable to order one (waitress came to table at 10:03).

swamp water is all juice. no matter how tempting, skip it if you're trying to get drunk.

No longer serving fishbowls or pitcher of concoctions after 10 pm. If you do get one, you can't have it by yourself. Only this location.
Nora BensonApril 17, 2016
Very strange combination of county style, sports, and club music
J.W. HarveyJune 26, 2012
The pitcher of sweet tea and sweet tea vodka was, well, sweet. In the best of ways.
Chris PinolaJanuary 26, 2013
Not the best barbeque I've ever had, but it was pretty cheap and they have some very tasty sauces.
Ken ManningOctober 14, 2017
Beware, we were served rotted fish here. (To add insult, the manager insisted on charging us) Hopefully, no one gets sick. The rest, dried chicken, pork, corp beer list, no hot sauce. Avoid.
Katie RuhlJuly 22, 2012
Don't drop money on the floor. We dropped a dollar bill and didn't pick it up right away and the bouncer snatched it. Otherwise, try the pickle back shot. True southern colors.
H BombzApril 9, 2012
Mac n cheese is awesome swamp water is a def go for ur pre-game scenarios !
N MartinAugust 9, 2014
Fishbowl Drink alone if you dare ... Burgers are great to

BroJays. Cornbread and Carolina BBQ. That about sums up the place.
Lelitza FordApril 20, 2013
Hunter is a banging bartender!!! Try the whiskey shot...with a pickle juice chaser!!!
Karin RendelmanJuly 6, 2011
Half price margs all night!! Sit outside and put some south in yo mouth :) And at least 3 margs!!
Valerie SDecember 30, 2017
Insanely cheap happy hour drink specials. Food isn’t bad, either.
Jason BrownriggOctober 21, 2011
Get the lunch special....a lot of food for only $15
Kate FurmanFebruary 24, 2016
Skip the brisket, get the frickles.
Kurt JeskeSeptember 5, 2013
Do you think there's good BBQ in NYC? You're dumb, there's not. This place is fine, but I wish there was a Chili's.

Great NYC BBQ. Great drinks. Good specials. Wished for bottomless sodas but no luck (hopefully we can change that).
Steph KatrinaFebruary 21, 2016
The drinks are better than the food.
Robin PoirierJanuary 13, 2013
The wait for a table isn't worth it if there's a sporting event!!!
