in:Best BBQ in NYC 202413 pts
replying to u/sushicowboyshow: I don’t understand how this is even debatable. There are places around the city to get decent bbq, but Hometown is the gold standard“I love Hometown's food. It's fantastic.”

Get the and the . People say the beats the classic delis, but it's weekend only and sells out. Brisket is the split, some call it the best around and others got it dry and reheated. Expect a long line and high prices, around $40 a pound. Go to the Red Hook location, not Industry City.

“it holds it own against others especially being in NYC. I'm more a brisket guy but also enjoy their ribs but never have I left hometown thinking it was shitty BBQ.”

“Everybody has a bad day but i was shocked at how bad Hometown was on my first and only visit. Tepid brisket on what must have been its third reheat and ribs so beat to hell and shriveled they were more like “won’t come off the bone”.”

“Very good sandwich, though not necessarily a great one. This brisket melts in your mouth immediately, but I actually wish this were a little more toothsome.”

“If you dropped hometown in the middle of any state in the south it would hold its own. Anywhere outside of pockets of SC, NC, Austin, like 3 places in Alabama, and Kansas City it would be considered the best for hundreds of miles and have a line from open until they run out.”
