Dinosaur BBQ Brooklyn.

     Dinosaur BBQ has been an experience with ups and downs with their main BBQ dishes. Today was my 1st time dining in at Dinosaur BBQ Brooklyn, however the first time was at the Harlem location. When I first walked in for a late lunch hour the hostess was very kind offering different places for us to sit down of our choice. It was a good choice for us to go around 1:30 pm because there were not too many people so we were sat down immediately.
     When we sat down we were bombarded with a lot of different foods on the menu mostly ranging from BBQ items to sandwiches and different starters. After some deciding we first went with an Abita Purple Haze beer (yes I avidly believe in beer and BBQ). For appetizer we just went with an order of 3 deviled eggs, however it is not 3 full eggs, it is 3 egg halves. However this has to be one of the best deviled eegs I've had in a long time. The yolk is made with a very creamy texture that just melts in your mouth with a little kick from the cayenne pepper mixed in and sprinkled on top. Next we moved onto our main dish of The Combination of Brisket, Ribs, and Pulled Pork and sides of Mac and Cheese, Harlem Potato Salad, and French Fries. Let me begin with the best part, THE SIDES! The mac and cheese was wonderfully seasoned with a little bit of cayenne pepper, it had a amazing creaminess to the melted cheese and not grainy or too  dry, personally my favorite. The Harlem Potato Salad gives great reminder to my best friend of a Jamaican style potato style, a little tangy with a kick of cayenne pepper. It has very creamy texture that reminds of the deviled eggs I had as a starter. Last of the sides were the french fries, thick cuts fries that were fried but did not seem to oily. They give you an abundant amount, more than enough to feed 2-3 people. They were seasoned well with salt but could be dipped in their numerous variety of sauces. Next on the list is the main dishes, first thing we took a bite into was the Pulled Pork. The pulled pork was the biggest mistake of our order. The appearance in the beginning alone was not appetizing at all, it looked like cat food. The first and only bite was mushy and had no taste, almost like canned tuna. After we tried the Brisket, I must say it was very moist and tender. However it lacked the taste of the smokey barbecue i was expecting. Another slight disappointment in my trio we were trying. Lastly of the main dishes we tried the rack of ribs (4 ribs), the best of the trio. It had the smokey taste I was hoping for, it was seasoned well with the barbecue flavors and not too dry either. It fell off the bone very well which I was happy about. Lastly a small cornbread that came with the meal, with the first bite it was grainy and dry. It also did not taste like much of anything but the usual cornbread flavor.
     Overall I believe the Dinosaur BBQ Brooklyn location is average. Their service was good, hostess and server were both very accommodating. Will I come back? Sure, however the next time I'm coming I will only be spending my money on the sides and possibly the ribs. They do however have an ample beer and liquor menu for the adult crowd to enjoy and try.
