Dinosaur Bar-B-Que/A Genuine Honky Tonk Rib Joint

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que/A Genuine Honky Tonk Rib Joint is the original Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Syracuse, a barbecue restaurant that grew into a national name. It was voted Best Barbeque in America in an ABC Good Morning America Weekend poll, and its funky wall art and weekly blues lineups are part of the draw.

The sauce shelf runs from Wango Tango Habanero BBQ Sauce to Mojito Marinade and Garlic Chipotle Pepper Sauce. The kitchen also caters, from pickups and deliveries to pig roasts and full-service events. Upstairs, a banquet space with two rooms handles private parties, from small meetings to big rehearsal dinners.
