The best part of Dinosaur isn't just the BBQ.
It's the people❤️

What's the first thing people talk about after a party?

The food.

Make sure it's worth talking about.

Whether you're hosting a graduation, birthday, office lunch, family reunion, company picnic, or backyard get-together, we'll take care of the BBQ so you can enjoy your guests.

Every catering order starts the same way: smoked low and slow, sliced fresh, and packed with care before it leaves our smokehouse.

Some of the best memories start around a table like this. 🍖☀️

Summer's here, pile on the brisket, pass the ribs, grab another piece of cornbread, and don't forget the mac and cheese.

Good BBQ is meant to be shared.

Ever wonder what makes our St. Louis-style ribs so good?

Our ribs are smoked low and slow over pure hickory for 4 hours, then finished with our signature mop sauce.

It's a process that takes patience, but around here, great barbecue always does.

That's the Dino way.

Honored to be featured as one of New York’s small-town restaurants worth the trip in 2026. From the smokehouse to the sauce stains to the memories made around these tables… we’re grateful for every guest who’s made Dinosaur part of the journey.

Still worth the drive.

We’re bringing back a favorite from the Dino recipe vault for 🔥🥚

Creole Deviled Eggs have been a longtime favorite of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que founder John Stage ever since his mother made them for family cookouts growing up.

Creamy. Tangy. Hit with Creole mustard and Cajun spice.

The kind of side dish that somehow disappears before the ribs even hit the table.

🔖 Save this for Memorial Day Weekend.
