Hometown Bar-B-Que - Brooklyn

This review is strictly for the brisket tacos. Two tacos after tax were a little more than $14. This is what you get (see picture). Small portion of brisket for the price. The tacos were tasty, don’t get me wrong. However, I wouldn’t order them again based on the value/serving size. The outdoor seating was plentiful. Great place for large groups.

The food here is amazing! My favorites are Korean sticky ribs and Billy’s housemade Italian sausage. For the ribs, the meat falls right off the bone when you take a bite; then the sweet sticky sauce hit and it’s the most beautiful experience. The sausage is very flavorful and juicy. Both of these options are more impressive than the brisket they have, which is surprising to me. The bacon is also a great option. The sweet cornbread is a perfect addition to any meat options here. The restaurant is large, with outdoor seating and an indoor bar. You place your order at the register and they will bring you your plates. It can get crowded on the weekends, especially during summertime; but if you go on a weekday, there’s usually not a line. Service is friendly. This is a great spot for large group gathering. Definitely worth visiting in Brooklyn

All of the meats were tender, juicy smokey and flavorful. Get some side dishes like cornbread/greens to give variety to your palete. there’s lots of seating. Wait time on the weekend may exceed over 45+ minutes. Once you order, you get your food almost immediately. Parking is relatively easy. there’s decent parking spaces out front or in proximity.

Wow the queue was extremely long, queued for about an hour but the good thing is that you do get your food immediately upon order. The meat though was immaculately barbecued and they were super good. Love the vegetables on the side as well!

Absolute hands down best BBQ joint in NY and perhaps best I’ve ever had. All the hype about Hometown is on point. Super casual and super friendly staff. You have the choice of both indoor and outdoor seating. 80’s music blasting was definitely the kicker. Every item on their menu is to die but the ultimate is the pastrami sandwich. YES you heard me right! This sandwich is even better than Katz’s. More bark, more tender, juicier and let’s not forget the buttered rye bread. Shame on me for waiting this long to try Hometown.
