The Best Barbecue in New York, by the Record
The best barbecue in New York, by the professional record: Michelin Guide and Time Out have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Hometown Bar-B-Que comes out on top, and the record runs deepest in Brooklyn and Queens.
Bark Barbecue and Dinosaur Barbecue hold the next two places. Time Out shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Michelin Guide next.

Rank 1. Hometown Bar-B-Que
Barbecue
Wood smoke hits you on Van Brunt Street before the warehouse comes into view, which is a useful heads-up to adjust your plans for the rest of the day. This Red Hook BBQ shop runs counter service out of a sprawling industrial space with communal tables, where the brisket has the smoke ring to back up the reputation. The Michelin Bib Gourmand is on record, and the banana pudding tends to disappear fast.
