This is one of the only real smokehouses in Manhattan. When the other places say BBQ, they usually just mean grilled and drenched in some kind of BBQ sauce. This place has fabulous smoked food! mmmmm... My boyfriend's parents were in from Texas and loved it!
The last time I came to this restaurant, however, they refused to seat my part of six until all the individuals arrived. Despite the fact that it was the day before Mother's Day and I had my 78 year old grandmother with me!!! It is a bit of a tourist trap with extremely rude hostesses (but accomodating managers that go out of their way for you)...
Pros: real smokehouse, great atmosphere
Cons: a bit touristy, a bit expensive
