Decided to give this place a try. I saw a lot of reviews and the pictures look good. When I came in on a snowy evening, it was busier than I expected. I would say almost full house. I ordered the 3 meat combo and 2 sides. For the meats I ordered brisket, St. Louis ribs and sausage. The 2 sides were mac and cheese and mash potatoes. Everything was good. I would do sausage and ribs again. The brisket was a little fattier, but not bad. The sides were good. I'd order more gravy for the mash potatoes, I like it drenched. The restaurant was super busy, I did wish the server would have gotten to me sooner to check out, since I didn't want to drive in heavy snow, but ehh. It's okay. I'm also not a fan of the metal trays, have you tried using a knife on that thing?

So far, in this area (I'm originally from the Boston MA AREA), every time I have ordered the ribs, they were delicious! Service was fine and the place has been always busy (love watching people). :)

Food was AMAZING! If ever in the area, please come here. Service was good and ambiance is family friendly.

This restaurant has phenomenal pulled pork sandwiches. And I love the fact that it is located inside of the former Lehigh Valley Railroad Station. The station served a small branch line of the Lehigh Valley Railroad that only ran between Mendon, New York and the City of Rochester. The station was closed in the 1950s and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. Then, in 1995, it became the barbecue joint that we all know and love.

This place is always awesome. Walking by the smoker on the way in just makes you more hungry. The staff is always amazing. Attentive, helpful, and fun. The restaurant is always kept clean and it's nicely decorated. The food is delicious. I've never had anything bad here. The portions are a good size and very filling. Yum all the way.

Came in on a busy Friday night. We were originally told it was going to be an hour and a half wait but it ended up only being a 15 minute wait. Our waitress was quick and nice as well. Loved all the different options of BBQ and the combo plates. There is something you're sure to find you love. The cucumber tomato salad was so refreshing, I highly recommend it. Though not the best I had, the brisket was very tender and still delicious. I would probably skip the mac and cheese. Also be careful with the sauces, they can pack quite a kick! Overall pretty great spot in a Rochester for BBQ. My biggest complaint would be the lack of parking, but that comes with being in downtown Rochester.

Recently had dinosaur bbq at a catered event and was blown away by the quality of the food! The business had a smoking truck on site and you could smell the aroma of the food being prepared. Everything was so fresh as it was cooked on site. The employees who served the food were very generous with the portions provided and helped me get everything organized when my plate was getting too full. The best experience I have ever had with dinosaur bbq. Every item tried was perfect.

If I can describe this place in one word, it's be flavor! Dinosaur BBQ is an amazing BBQ spot in a great location downtown that embraces flavor through both its food and aesthetics. The brisket and pulled pork were done to perfection but the thing that impressed me the most were the sides, particularly the corn and mac and cheese. I was not expecting so much flavor in these! It was seasoned beyond belief and every bite had me amazed. Absolutely will be getting these again when I come back! The service was amazing, and I want to shoutout one of the employees who warned us about a parking situation right after we parked and helped us avoid a fine. Definitely went above and beyond for customers!

I always appreciate a venue with a great connection to local history and I loved hearing about how Dinosaur BBQ used to be an old train station. Our waitress, Casey, told us all about the fun ghost stories people had from working and dining in the restaurant. We got a great table with a view of the river and the little ducks fishing for their lunch. I had the ribs and a side of the corn and cucumber salad. All of it was delicious! Casey was a fantastic server who gave great recommendations and was very personal. Definitely highly recommend Dinosaur BBQ as a wonderful and delicious local restaurant in Rochester!
