My experience at Dinosaur BBQ was nothing but a amazing .. food was seasoned perfectly, restaurant was clean and spacious.. and our waiter (Marvin) was awesome.. if you love BBQ this restaurant is highly recommended.
Jerk wings were so good and the drinks were bomb. My entree came out cold but the manager took care of me right away
Everything was great. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
Place is good and being adapted for summer time. Servers are very responsive and well behave
Went there today with my whole family. Food was absolutely fantastic - and I've eaten BBQ at all the "best" places down South too. Ron, the bartender, gave us terrific service too.
Delicious food and great service
Good food good service, nice casual meal. Thumbs up, recommended
Love my visit! Food was Fantastic..
Fun atmosphere. Disappointing mac n cheese and beans. Good bbq.
The food is so well Cooked...So much Flavor.
Pretty good for New England BBQ. Definitely get the jerk sauce wings !
Average bbq, excellent staff
The meat is amazing! The side dishes weren't bad and the sauce needs improvement, but the atmosphere was nice. Staff was friendly too
Good food, friendly staff and decent prices.
Ambiance was great, the smell of real pit bbq wafting through the air upon entering. Food was terrific! Had the chicken and ribs combo, the meat was so tender, it literally fell off the bone. Will definitely be back! A new favorite!
Ordered the kids sliders only to find out sliders means one small burger! Does that mean chicken fingers only come with one piece of chicken? They comped the extra slider we asked for, but even then if they didn’t it was $4.25 for an extra slider on a kids menu when it’s $6.50 for a meal. It’s not sliders if it’s one burger. Horrible service to top it. Our food took over 40 minutes and their excuse was they had a big order before we arrived. Not our problem.
First timer i loved it!!
This place is so....so....so good. I over eat every single time.
Great food and atmosphere. The sauces are DINOMYTE.
Ample parking. Typical country ambiance. Awesome staff and service. Delicious lip smacking food. I personally appreciate and enjoy a place that serves different sauces. From the mixed drinks to the desserts and everything in between - worth the drive if your not close. Highly recommend.
The brisket was amazing! Loved the collard greens and peanut butter cup pie as well. Would love to come again to try more off the menu.
This is an attractive place in Stamford, catchy name, close to I-95. Usually the service is good but it was an off night, they ran out of many items and a burger arrived very late. The food is good in general, with chicken, ribs, and all the fixin's.
Awesome atmosphere, service and food!
Not bad, but not exceptional. The service, food, ambiance, and pricing are quite average. It's a perfect place for compromise, but not very memorable.
good BBQ. moist brisket. great mac and cheese. fried green tomatoes. awesome staff. definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some good bbq
Good comfort food, great beer selection, ribs mostly 10 out of 10 with tenderness, although sometimes a miss. Same with brisket.
Meat, meat, and meat! Don't have patience or time to bbq or marinate on your own? They have the best flavorings, and you don't have to wait as long as you would at home. All groups of people fit in, though it's got a bar with sports on TVs, so it tends to attract men and couples more so than groups of girl friends. Mix and match options are GREAT
You want the real thing with elbow room to boot. Great food and staff.
Great atmosphere and good, fresh food.
What a sad evening at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que! We had not been there in a few years and I was excited to finally get to revisit. It once was a place where the food was perfect, with delicious sides, and a great atmosphere. Not anymore! We were a group of 8 and none of us enjoyed our food. We're we able to eat it? Yeah but more because we were hungry. Man and cheese had a sour taste and no one could get down more than a few bites. Corn bread was lacking in flavor. Garlic butter was nothing but salty. Greens were cooked probably for 3 days as they were limp. Chicken was good but nothing special. Ribs were dry. About the only thing that treated good was the cold slaw. This is so sad as the decor is perfect and there is plenty of parking. Service was on point and everyone was attentive. I will never go back as there are plenty of other places with better food and better prices. This place may go the way of the real dinosaurs.
Great Stamford find. Good for a fast healthy lunch..try the black bean salad. or a nice dinner. .. nice beer selection..and always some good IPAs on tap. and not too expensive.
The best thing about this place is the ribs. The cucumber salad had cilantro in it instead of dill. Taste terrible. The barbecue rice was dry and cold. Extremely small portions of sides. The water was good.
Didn't realize they had opened in Stamford. Same experience as Rochester location, fun place with good food. I'd recommend it if you want some good barbeque.
Very good bar-b-que and great people taking care of the food and especially taking care of the diners
I never expected to find tasty vegetarian options at an American BBQ place. But I was pleasantly surprised to find they were so delicious I wanted to go back a second time.
I LOVE THE WINGS HERE!! I drive about 40 minutes to eat here and it's worth it! These are some of the best wings and ribs in CT! I recommend this place to everyone when they ask me about good BBQ or wing spots in CT. However, I will say that all of their servers aren't the most attentive. I've had a sub par waiter at least once for every five times that I go to this restaurant, on average. The food is still great though!
Had the 3 meat combo for lunch, brisket and pulled pork were really good but the baby back ribs are outstanding. Spicy black beans with rice and crusty topped mac and cheese and I'm ready for a nap.
Your typical BBQ fare in Stamford, CT. A great and attentive staff. The portions are a bit on the skimping side for the price point. The atmosphere was great overall. Definitely would come back here. *update* The servers are so great here. So polite and friendly. They're attentive. They're always smiling and giving great recommendations on the menu. They make this place worth the visit.
placed an order online through GrubHub at 7, arrived at 7:15. i fully paid for my order ahead of time. at 7:30 they told us there was no record of our order. we then waited until 8:10 to get our food. the food was excellent but we were late to. our event by 30 minutes and never received an apology, explanation, or any money back. Dinosaur is from my hometown so i was excited to stop and the food didn't disappoint, but the service we received was terrible.
Great BBQ which is reasonably priced. The wings and brisket are phenomenal, just the right portion to ensure you're getting a good value. The server were super nice and friendly to offer suggestions. One thing that did disappoint was the Mac and Cheese, its only a side dish but does need some improvements.
Nice happy hour choices. The poutine is very good and you can't go wrong with the wings, brisket or pork.
the food was amazing!!! so yummy, you guys gotta try their brisket, its to die for :)
Tables were sticky. The greens were too sweet. Catfish coating too crunchy.Enjoyed potato salad. Food taste has changed since opening. We were a group of 15 the waitress was great!
Had a great lunch of B-B-Q wings; a favorite. The restaurant is well-known; thus, it fills quickly even at lunch. More-or-less during diner. Try the ribs and brisket; they are great! There is good service when not a full crowd.
Great food,atmosphere, family friendly
The food here never disappoints me. Get the devil’s duel wings if you like spicy food. Ribs are superb, pork belly is delicious. Always have trouble choosing what to get.
Great place. Amazing food. Awesome vibe and admire atmosphere. The ribs were the best I've ever had. Wife had pulled pork sandwich... We all agree. Excellent place
Here with some friends and family today. Loved the decor, good music playing and it had friendly staff that were quick and attentive. Ordered a few appetizers to share and had an entree of the ribs and the BBQ pulled salmon. The salmon was cooked well but the star of the plate was the ribs, they fell off the bone and were delicious. The cornbread was awesome and my side of BBQ fried rice was surprisingly tasty. Great meal and experience. I'd recommend a visit!
We enjoyed it! The service was good and the food was great! We simply loved the chicken wings, pretty flavorful! Those wings was one of the best that we ever had. I like the idea that they offer "flyers", we could choose 4 beers to try. Definitely, it's a place that we will return.
Great BBQ! Awesome Mac and cheese! Love the Wango Tango sauce!
These folks catered my friend's wedding. I was so blown away. The meat was so tender and properly seasoned, they have the best Cole slaw I've ever had. Everything was so great that I will be going out of my way to have it again. If you like good meats and good eats, check this place out!
Love it, so much meat!!
The food and service is very good i definitely recommend it
Great food. Fast and service
Food was great, the deviled eggs and brisket was my favorite. My southern grandmother would definitely approve the greens. Great atmosphere definitely will visit again on my next trip to Connecticut.
I'm bias I work here. The food is Great. Family friendly.
I had always like the food here but tonight I ordered 3 orders of the 13pc of wings. And they only send me half of my order. I waited and hour for my order. And my order was incomplete. Plus the wings were ice cold. Really disappointed tonight!!!!
Big place with good feel. The BBQ is ok but nothing to rant about. To be fair I love BBQ and can be particular. I've tried most their meats and nothing sticks out so I can't say there is one type of meat I would recommend. The corn bread is pretty solid and the Mac and cheese is decent.
Best lemonade and mushrooms burger!
Great bbq place! This is my second time going to Dino Bbq. We went there for happy hours. They had 6$ appetizer, 4$ bottles beer, 5$ drafts ,7$ for hard liquor. The place was large. Do try the smoked brisket. It was really good. The sauces are great to try the meats with. Service was also fast. They have free parking They have outdoor seating arrangements They have happy hours
Love it didn't expect it to be here. I knew about the one in Brooklyn. Amazing taste
Good food and decent price
This place has a great atmosphere, bar, and really nice people. But this isn't actual BBQ if you're a Southerner. The meat is good if you don't get any sauce. The sauce is like they just tossed in all the different regional BBQ sauces and called it a day. It was disappointing to say the least. I give 4 stars because what they lack BBQ they make up for in friendliness and a good vibe.
Solid eats. Mac n cheese, greens, chicken, ribs, pulled pork, corn bread... All fantastic
Malcom, the kitchen manager was awesome! He was super friendly and helpful with all of my needs and restrictions
Amazing!! We'll definitely be back soon.
Good beer, and good nachos. 10 bucks for a tray and feeds "2-4" . Reasonable table hiding in back, behind the bar, if you need a comfy spot for a meeting.
Enjoy the atmosphere each time i visit this location
The food was great ! I ate Brisket , beans N rice , cornbread bbq chicken wings and what they called HARLEM POTATO SALAD. Surprising ,it was delicious. Over all rating a 10.
I come here all the time. Food is good. Kind of expensive for small portions of food. The jerk wings are my favorite and their mac and cheese are extra good.
Excelent place. Some of the best places to eat and chill
Great BBQ and service, especially ribs and sides. Clever atmosphere for a BBQ joint.
Last week we had the best nachos ever. Bbq is good and a always have the Cuban sandwich but have tried just about everything in the menu. Also, this last visit we had the best server we ever had. We didn't have to request a single refill of our drinks. He was on top of it and would refill them everytime as soon as we ran dry.
Good barbecue and friendly staff. We showed up with our poodle and they welcomed us to sit outside on the patio, opening service there that day only for us, including turning on their outside heater and bringing water for the dog. Wee got pulled pork, pork belly, and some sides. All relatively good, nothing so great that we would insist you go and order that one dish.
Great ribs, loved the greens
The best pork belly I have ever had. Getting two orders next time.
Decent bbq. Not bad pricing. They had a live performer covering Floyd and others.
The food is fantastic, I came here with my friend's for an anniversary dinner. It was suggested that we order the family meal since the food would be quicker to get. Our waiter was fantastic, he checked on us to make sure everything was good with everyone. In the future I would definitely come back here.
after looking at all of the positive reviews on google and hearing good feedback from family members, me and my wife decided to give this place a try and was let down, the only thing that we enjoyed was the spicy wings from the appetizer menu and the rib's that came with my main order. everything else fell flat the Cajun salmon was dry as hell, the cornbread had no flavor etc. our waiter kind of forgot about us too and the place wasn't packed at all the decor was nice though.
Service was ok. But the food was was really worth it. I ordered the brisket plate. The brisket was great and the collard greens had an good interesting twist to them fries weren't anything special still good and hot but the Mac n' Cheese wasn't really worth the buy. But overall the atmosphere was great and would definitely go again
Yummy flavor implosion
First time here but heard great things about the one in Harlem. Very good service and the food was great! If you like southern dishes this is your place. The BBQ was slow cooked and delicious, collard greens wonderful( alittle sweet) and the corn bread tasted homemade. We started with the fried green tomatoes, and have to say, after having them in many a restaurant down south, these were the best we have had!
Terrific food good prices. The wait staff was pleasant and very attentive. Love this place
The wings were one of the better items they had a good kick to them. They have no breading on them more of a glaze of the sauce. The brisket was tender and although it didnt have the smokyness I expected it had a punch of heat that helped the flavor. The ribs had a dry rub on them but they were kind of dry overall.
The food is hit or miss. It’s not as good as their upstate counterparts but still worth checking out.
Great food. Best wings. Service was beyond good. Very friendly
decent location, great food! I will return to jam and eat when they get live music. Order the ribs!! bring napkins
Beef brisket was bomb. Easy parking. Good venue.
Amazing BBQ. Had a great time with some great friends. Good service. No complaints.
Customer Service could have been better. Food was ok
We went here twice within a week. First of all portions are HUGE and everything we have tried so far has been AWESOME! The bar b que chicken is to die for.It is moist,flavorful with a tang that will make your mouth HAPPY! We also had the pulled pork nachos.The tortillas were hot and crispy.The pulled pork was plentiful and scattered all over.The raw jalapenos were nuclear hot but also easily removed.These were some seriously tasty nachos! Finally the peanut butter pie...We have all had peanut butter pie.You havent had peanut butter pie until you have had THIS peanut butter pie!The BEST EVER!It is freaking amazing.If you like peanut butter pie you will love this.BRAVO! The service was great.Wide selection of craft,foreign and domestic beers.The place was busy but the food came fast. Over all AAA+++!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Even if you don't order BBQ, the food is delicious. We had catfish and a new menu item fried chicken with a spicy honey dipped over it. Not too much. Chicken was moist and crispy.
Service was excellent, food was great. Marvin, the waiter was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend this place.
Yummy mac&chz and wings! Delicious drinks, too with friendly bartender!
Nice place great parking and the food was as expected. Also the drinks are quite moderately priced. The only issue we had was our server. He was not present for the first 10 minutes then he was in a rush for us to order food not even asking about a drink after he brought water. He was in such a rush he wasn't even listening my friend said fireball and he heard tequila very different things. Before I could order a second drink he had already did a drive-by and dropped the receipt and at that point we went to another bar for the next round.
As soon as you walk in, there's a special level of hospitality that the staff demonstrates. Such a friendly group of people who truly care about their customers. And the food.... simply incredible! The pork belly was a personal favorite, but brisket is also a must. Plus the mashed potatoes, so good! Great environment, great aesthetic, great people, great place!
Good spot to hang around Food was good though they could have a few more vegetarian options
Awesome place never a dull moment here staff is awesome always food always tastes excellent
Not great barbeque. Would not recommend.
Good diverse menu. This was my first visit. I am sure to return.
Great food and equally great staff. Is an ideal place for a weekend dinner
Sat outside and enjoyed some lively music with a guitar player, having some nice beer and a family food platter enough to feed a small neighborhood. Left sick because we ate so much. Really great meats, all of them, and the atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable.
Delicious food, great service. Very satisfied.
Pheasant dining environment. Good good. Fantastic beer.
This place has a good happy hour with stellar wings and brisket sliders on that menu, plus attentive bartenders. Aside from being a bit cold it's a @ good place for a business lunch / drink.
1st time visit and I live in Orange county NY and I will definitely be back I went with 5 family members and sampled their food and everything was good..
This is one of the best place to eat if you like meat. Very Convivial environnement.
This might be the best BBQ place in Stamford because of their BBQ sauces that are loaded with flavor and a fantastic range of heat. The wango style wings and their brisket are delicious and the turkey neck greens taste like they were imported from the south.
Amazing service and food
The food is excellent, and the workers there are equally fantastic. They are polite, professional, efficient, and witty. The beef brisket is absolutely wonderful.
Service was great and big family confusion was not a problem. Ribs were awesome
I do enjoy the food. The pulled pork nachos are terrific and the wings are surprisingly good.
Dim lights, great ambience and amazing BBQ chicken. The waiters were quite nice. Pretty good service. Food arrived fairly quickly even though it was a busy Friday night. BBQ Chicken and ribs were among the best I have tried in USA. The BBQ platters are great for big groups. The veggie burger wasn't that great though. I would totally recommend this place for great food and to have fun hanging out with friends.
Your mouth will start watering as soon as you open the door! Great place!
Great inexpensive place for lunch with a casual atmosphere
Love this place. Great atmosphere, good food!
Great service! Loved both the esthetic and the food!
The wait was too long.. And the food wasn't that great.. Our table was shaky
The food tastes great, but the service is probably the worst I have ever experienced. We go in and are told that it is a 10-15 minute wait. For 45 minutes, we stand at the bar looking at all the empty tables no one has cleared off since we got there. It was not even that busy. Eventually we just sit at a table. After 30 minutes, no server comes to talk to us. We pull over a server from another table who takes our drinks and appetizer order, says he will get our server. 30 minutes later, our waiter comes with our drinks. Another 30 minutes go by and our 6 wings come out. We place a dinner and drink order, wait 45 minutes for the drinks and 57 minutes for the food. As we are about to walk out the manager comes over to apologize. I used to work at this restaurant, I don't even think the server put in our order until we talked to someone else, they have clocks that time each order and how long its taking. We watched as all the people who got there after us got their food 30 minutes before we did. Luckily, the food came out right as we were about to leave, and we were hungry after 3 hours of waiting. Dinosaur BBQ, you guys really have to fix your staffing issue, this was the worst experience I ever had in a restaurant.
Friendly, great cornbread, serves half pints, decent brisket sliders - will be back again!
Friendly wait staff, food was good and came out quickly, there was plenty of parking
Fun BBQ spot. Good service, nice atmosphere. There's a nice selection for the kids menu. Across the board all the food was way over salted, and there were no breaks from it. The amount of salt I just interested in giving me a headache. I'd recommend the ribs and pulled pork. BBQ fried rice was a good side, about the Mac n cheese.
Well...Its all just so damn good!
Good food. Nice atmosphere!
Great happy hour 3-7. Delicious food good service
BBQ Heaven 5 Stars...EZ Choice, GREAT Small Chain, consistently good service, EXCELLENT FOOD. We ate dinner early, so that helps in a place like this that probably gets very busy. This food has been cooking low n slow all day, so this delicious plate of food came out pretty quick. It was fingerpicking good. I had st louis ribs that were tender n tasty, 1/4 chicken combo with mac n cheese & collard greens. If I went back I would order the same thing ;-)
Big bar and very nice area to stand and enjoy your food drinks. I've looked ved in Texas for a while and would put this in the higher end of the BBQ food experience.
I came during vacations with my family. Food is ok, but very bad service. Personnel, far too slow. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, it was empty. Between taking the order, and bringing the check they took more than 15 minutes. Waiter didn't return to the table for the drinks refill.
Very nice place to go eat and hang out. The food its delicious, and the desert it's even better. Try the chocolate pie, u will not regret it.
Great can't wait to be back to Connecticut
I go for the pulled pork sandwich, it's good stuff.
The best poutine I've ever had. Ribs, pulled pork and fried chicken really great too.
Good food and great service. Wings and fries are great.
My family took my elderly Mom out here for her birthday. The ambiance is industrial, but the place is exceptionally spacious, with tables several feet apart. To me this is a real plus. Everyone but my wife and I ordered Bloody Mary cocktails. Everyone said they were very good. I chose the brisket plate, and the portion they served was generous and delicious, the meat tender enough to cut with a fork. The jalapeno relish was a nice touch, but wasn't needed since the meat stands on its own. For sides I had french fries and baked beans, both just fine. I tasted the ribs and belly since my wife ordered a combo and let me take a taste. The ribs were delicious and perfectly cooked, tender but not falling off the bone. The belly was perfect: tender, smoky, and flavorful. Mac and cheese is a big deal these days; theirs was good but nothing special. For appetizers I had wings with all three sauces. they were flavorful, huge, and meaty. Really nothing exceptional, though. The fried green tomatoes were a surprising treat. I couldn't believe that food of this quality was available from a chain restaurant. I'm so glad my sister picked this place instead of her usual choice in the mall where the food is so ordinary but the place is so popular and crowded.
Love this place . Had wings , deviled eggs , fried green tomatoes , shrimp , pulled pork , brisket with jalapeños and ribs . Not all for me but the table . All was great . Would definitely return . One of my fav bbq places in the area . Outdoor seating is nice too.
Family took me for a birthday dinner and we had a great experience. Great food, very reasonoable. Loved the outdoor seating! Good service too. Food took a little longer to come but well worth it.
Excelent place, the recomend
Great BBQ - like Texas. Try the brisket... even the wings are good.
The waiter was the slowest and nastiest person I’ve ever encountered. Slowest service I have experienced. Was there two years ago and had a bad experience also. I don’t recommend it.
Good food but not awesome, a little bit expensive but could certainly be worse. Nice beer selection
Great food. Last visit they couldn't make a few of their drinks bc they didn't have the required ingredients which was odd. So it took 45 mins to get my first drink. Also didn't have enough burnt ends for our group of 4. Maybe it was just a slow day or something. Usually pretty good. Wings are awesome.
They have some pretty good BBQ here,. the prices are fare and the service is great. the staff are wonderful. very welcoming place to dine at
Ordered delivery, the food I got was gross and not what I ordered. The pulled pork was mainly burnt, the ribs are overcooked, the brisket was all fat. They no longer carry shrimp so they gave me a ton of overcooked wings. Take a look at this brisket taco, it looks disgusting. How can you serve this?
Good food, nice looking place but music it's too loud for me.
BBQ artisans. All meats and sides are meticulously prepared -- fresh -- at the restaurant. If you get a chance, get a tour of the kitchen (and the bank of smokers). Facility is large, beautiful. Solid drink menu. Could be best BBQ spot in Fairfield County.
Family BBQ package meal was great for the price. Fed 4 adults and 2 teens with some left over.
Friendly staff, delicious food. Natalie rocks
Great food but not a place to go if you are pressed for time. I’ve been here twice and the service is a bit slow. Staff is very friendly and helpful though
Very good food. Service was a lil slow.
Not as good as it used to be...something changed with the recipes or chef.
This place rocks! At the recommendation of our server, we got the family style dish, which VERY comfortably fed 5 people (with food left to spare). We chose half the brisket and half the pork, with sides of potato salad, sweet and sour cucumber, and fries. The fries are delicious! The cucumber side really compliments the meats; the potato salad was really normal - but I can’t complain. The staff was lovely, our server Natalie (hope I spell that right) was not only really kind and patient, but she was pretty witty too with a comeback, and we loved it!! What a solid place, we will be back. My other experience was with one of their BBQ’d thanksgiving turkeys - it was a family favorite, and everyone agreed it was the best turkey we had had. Perfect balance of flavor and moisture. Perhaps not a traditional thanksgiving turkey, but I got over it ;)
I will give 3 1/2 stars. The food was great, very yummy. The waitress was a bit hectic but given that she's new. The atmosphere was good, has a live band outside when we visited.
Tasty BBQ, especially the brisket. Unacceptable service. Saturday night 5:30pm, birthday dinner with my kids, and was told "we have NO MORE FORKS" !!??? I guess that's why they call it "dinosaur" - patrons are forced to eat like animals by mashing their faces directly into the food. Didn't even offer me a complimentary slice of cake. Bad business people.
Great food and atmosphere! Shout out to my bro Richie! He runs this place well!
Really loved the atmosphere and the service. Ordered nachos for an appetizer that were bad, they just weren’t what I what expect and want in nachos. For my entree I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with French fries and Mac and cheese. The sandwich was very tasty, as were the sides. The fries were veryyyyy salty but I was able to dust some of that off. My whole family was very happy with their meal and we will be going back.
Great food. Great atmosphere. Definitely going back
Service was phenomenal food is what you pay for kid friendly
I do enjoy the food. The pulled pork nachos are terrific and the wings are surprisingly good. My complaint is with the bar staff. I order gin neat with extra olives. Out comes a rocks glass with 1/2 inch of alcohol and 2 olives. For my next drink I asked the waitress to tell the bartender to be a bit more generous. Out comes a rocks glass with 1/2 inch of alcohol and 2 olives. Really guys? Does the alcohol come out of their paycheck? Its unfortunate for the waitress because she only got a 15% tip because of it.
