Hill Country Barbecue Market - New York

Great Happy Hour menu Love their outdoor dining section!

This was our second visit. Our first was on the weekend and at the height of the dining hour, and everything was terrific. This visit was on a weekday at 5:30, the service was just OK, and our food was lukewarm to cool. Only two other tables had patrons, so we can only assume the kitchen wasn't up and running. They were beginning to add meats to the oven in the back, so we suspect ours was leftover from the lunch crowd. Disappointed since they made a reservation for that hour for us as though they were at full speed. Our daughters often frequent The Hill and were surprised that we were disappointed. Go later in the evening when they're busy.

If you want spareribs or brisket this is the place to go to. The food was excelent, and so were the service and prices.

The ribs, chicken, brisket were all good but they need to ensure that a complete selection of side dishes is available at lunch. It's disappointing that they didn't have mac cheese orpotato salad and don't allow a substitution of fries with the Cue Two lunch special.

Our server, whose name I think was Cal? (Tall white guy with reddish hair) was literally the nicest, most efficient, enthusiastic, happy server I've ever had in my life. I want to clone him.
