Go to BW's BBQ, its not far from the stadium to. True for Smokey Bones but not Dinosaur. They are a regional chain and not run like a chain. I have not been to other Buffalo places but would recommend Dinosaur. They are easily the best you will get in the North.

bourbonboy Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Another vote for Dinosaur BBQ - I don't think of this as a chain even if there are a few others, and also has advantage of decent beer on tap selection.... (Tip - try the Big Ass Pork Plate, with beans and rice!) Edited May 1, 2019 by bourbonboy
PaattMaann Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Used to be HANDS DOWN Kentucky Gregs....unfortunately he has since closed down. Fat Bobs used to be really good like 10 years ago, then the husband and wife divorced and the business went downhill...I know people still really like it and I have no idea why (dry, sides are bland). BW's is OK. I would say drive out to Lockport and go to One Eyed Jacks or if you dont wanna make the drive, just go to Dinosaur (its a "chain" but a local chain). 2 2

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 If I’m in Buffalo, Susie-Q’s. If on foot downtown, Dinosaur. If I’m near Rochester, Sticky Lips BBQ Juke Joint. 1

Plenty of good BBQ places in B'lo Dino BBQ is a Upstate NY chain 3 or 4 spots, so not a national chain like Smokey Bones 8 minutes ago, badassgixxer05 said: This!

That made me think of comments I responded to regarding a venerated local watering hole: Customer: “The food was cold and the waitress was bitchy”. Me: My wife is serving lunches now?! 1
Bills Fan in Beantown Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 I just went to Dinosaur for the first time in Rochester and thought the ribs were pretty legit.

One-eyed Jack's is excellent as well. i have heard really good things about Smokin' Little Diner in Depew, but have not tried it yet. http://smokinlittlediner.somegreatbbq.com/

I was going to say Kentucky Greg's then saw this. I hadn't been there in over two years. Really disappointed to hear they're gone.
Buffalo716 Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Dinosaur is definitely not a real chain... and they do things right .. I would go there over Smokey bones 100-100 times Also Fat Bobs or Suzy- Qs 5 minutes ago, K-GunJimKelly12 said: I was going to say Kentucky Greg's then saw this.

zonabb Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 Had nearly all mentioned. Smoke on the Water in Tonawanda is where I'd go if I had to get the one I liked best, not the one closest. Had BWs most recently, it was decent.
