BBQ in Kingston, NY

[SRogers76]

As a true southerner, I was always sad that my new home in Kingston didnt have a BBQ restaurant. Sure, Max's in Rhinebeck was awesome - but too far for lunch. Hickory on Rte 28 just wasnt my style - I like some sauce, not a dry rub. I wanted collard greens and cornbread. On Sunday - I was answered.

Right across town on Broadway - right near the train overpass - an old fashioned BBQ has opened! Its not much to look at. No fancy sign, just some posters in the window (hand drawn with a marker). But inside is some of the tastiest BBQ Ive had. Plus - its CHEAP!! Ive been twice since they opened, because the first time I couldnt believe it! Now, its simple. You could go in wearing greasy work clothes and get the same "Baby you want some cornbread with that?" that I received. Todays special, Fish and Chips - thats whiting,battered in house, served with fries for only $3.50. My husband raved! I went with a pulled pork sandwich, on a roll with coleslaw, served with fries. That set me back $4.50. I strongly recommend the collard greens. As soon as they get some fresh brewed sweet tea in there Ill know Im in NY to stay. Give them a try - think more fast food thats real food - than "nice" restaurant. Still a great addition in Kingston.

I admit to being tempted and confused. Is this place on the same side as Mariner's? Is it a branch of Hickory BBQ or is it a new place? SRogers76 can you help?

they have an uptown outpost now, I believe, on Wall Street.

The Wall st branch has been closed. They only have the place on 28 now.

Unfortunately the restaurant in midtown Kingston near the railroad overpass closed several months. An Indian restaurant is now there.

it's downtown 1/2 block up the hill from Mariner's I thought the food was good but Iwas there the week before the official opening ans service was bad. But i'll go back again for the food

Yes, I have to agree with you there...the service was horrible...actually, just the waitress. The host was very nice.

A new restaurant, called Pier 23, down in the roundout area just opened on Broadway. The food is "neo-soul". They do have collard greens, yummy mac and cheese, fried chicken, and a few nice BBQ dishes. You can also get a BBQ combo dinner. They also have small flat screen televisions in the booths...it is pretty neat. I think this place will be succesful.

Steve - what an exciting find! Just trying to center in on the locale: is this over by Monkey Joe's and the hospital? Can you pinpoint the locale? I'm going up to Jeto's to whack some baseballs tomorrow and I gots to have me some of this cue.

Downtown about a 1/2 a block from Mariner's just up from the water
