Greco Bbq - Garden City

We had a big party of 17 and the service was excellent. The staff accommodated the large group and our waitress. Melanie was superb. The food was delicious and we did not have to wait considering our large group.

I truly enjoy good bar b qued food especially ribs. so yesterday I drove to Garden City and bought 2 full racks of the Smok Haus ribs. There were 4 of us for dinner and after reading their reviews on tripadvisor we were all looking forward to a nice meal. Unfortunately that nice meal never happened. First the good news: the ribs were meaty. Now the not so good news: the meaty ribs were not very good and considering the cost they were not worth half the 100 dollars I paid for the 2 racks. I never have a problem spending money for good food and that is why I refer to Tripadvisor as a guide when searching for a restaurant that serves good food. Unfortunately my party of 4 strongly disagree with many of the people who reviewed this restaurant. I won 't review the sides because they were just okay. my primary concern was the Smok Haus ribs, The first word I used to describe their ribs was MEALY . I know what very good ribs taste like and the word mealy is not it. Then my son came up with the perfect comparison...As he consumed his first rib he said Texas Roadhouse ' We all agreed, the Smok Haus ribs were an expensive version of the ribs served at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant which is why we no longer go to that restaurant for ribs anymore. Note: My review is limited to their ribs.

First, the five star part of the review: The Brisket. Perfectly smoked. Juicy and tasty. Didn’t need any of the sauces. Picked veggies on the side were crunchy delish. Four stars to rest of the meal. Porchetta was less of a hit than the brisket. Nice and fatty, but parts of the meat were over cooked. Expected better. Collard greens and corn side dishes were ok, nothing great. Servers were mostly young and inexperienced, but all engaged with trying to please the customers. Solid four stars. Now the bad part, the bees. We were seated in a lovely little outdoor spot behind the restaurant. Bees were literally feasting on the food and drinks. Some people chose to move inside. We toughed it out, but really, it wasn’t a pretty sight watching bees come join the feast and seem to enjoy the meat as much as we did. Lol. Might be a little unfair to say all this. I really liked the place, have gotten take out before and will do so again without reservation.

This is not our regular BBQ place but we wanted to try somewhere new. I saw this on TripAdvisor and in LI dining FB. It was also hailed as the best BBQ in Nassau County for 2021. They did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service was great. We will definitely come back.
