Hometown Bar-B-Que 454 Van Brunt Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

"Went for a BBQ Thanksgiving with some friends and had an amazing meal and a fabulous time. The bloody mary is dangerously delicious, especially the candied bacon garnish. brisket is always a win, but this Thanksgiving, my friends and I all agreed that the beef rib was the best meat in the house. Mac n cheese, mashed, stuffing and pickles were delicious but forgotten as all the attention was on the meat. We also had some fabulous turkey breast with gravy, jalapeno cheddar sausage and pulled pork, but the beef is all anyone remembered after the food coma."

"Some delicious BBQ Pulled Pork. Came in for a lunch on Wednesday with a friend who has been wanting to try the place. We both ordered a pull pork sandwich, split some brisket queso and chips and coleslaw. The pull pork sandwiches were delicious and huge. The queso was good but went cold fast but the chips were excellent and well we probably shouldn’t have ordered the coleslaw but it was good. Definitely some of the best pulled pork I have had in sometime. We are out on the picnic tables but there was plenty of space inside if we wanted to sit inside. On weekends I here there is usually a line up but it would definitely be worth the wait."

"First time here and I have to say I loved it. Very reasonable prices especially for the amazing quality of food. I had the pulled pork, small Mac & cheese and, honey cornbread and the wife had the Korean BBQ ribs, small Mac & cheese, small collard greens, and honey cornbread. There was live music which just added to the amazing atmosphere. I am definitely coming back to try more things off the menu!!!"

"The food here is amazing! My favorites are Korean sticky ribs and Billy’s housemade Italian sausage. For the ribs, the meat falls right off the bone when you take a bite; then the sweet sticky sauce hit and it’s the most beautiful experience. The sausage is very flavorful and juicy. Both of these options are more impressive than the brisket they have, which is surprising to me. The bacon is also a great option. The sweet cornbread is a perfect addition to any meat options here. The restaurant is large, with outdoor seating and an indoor bar. You place your order at the register and they will bring you your plates. It can get crowded on the weekends, especially during summertime; but if you go on a weekday, there’s usually not a line. Service is friendly. This is a great spot for large group gathering. Definitely worth visiting in Brooklyn"

"This place makes me wish I had it in my hometown. It is without a doubt the most beautiful Barbecue experience in New York City. You’d think they couldn’t nail everything on their menu but they just do, you can choose anything and you’ll be chuffed! Although there are places with better individual pieces, Hometown is the most complete Barbecue platter you can get. Stand out for me was the honey drizzled corn bread - no where else has come close. The best bread I’ve ever had. The service is quality as well, they know they’re stuff and they’re happy to share it. You tell them what you like and they’ll sort out the platter."
