    This bbq location in Time Out Market is a tad overpriced and overrated! The food was ok but I've had better BBQ. Check it out if you're in the Dumbo area . The service was good overall once you got to order. The place is buzzing with hungry customers all day and the ambiance on a summer day is excellent. Try the brisket ( sells out 1st) and the honey glazed cornbread ...

    I'm a bit surprised at some of the lower ratings, but this place was delicious! We didn't get the slaw that's supposed to come with the sandwiches, but I don't eat it so I was fine with that. There was a decent line at 2pm on a Friday, but by the time we sat down and ate...the line had doubled, so it seems the earlier you go, the better. I liked that you can tell them what cut of the meat you want. I don't like the fatty parts so I was able to tell them and they cut the exact right piece for me. The Mac & cheese was surprisingly delicious and the cornbread was a bit different but good. Very sweet. Beautiful views of the bridges and great place to hang out

    Not impressed overpriced dry BBQ ribs and overly seasoned with salt , the only thing I enjoyed was the chicharrón which is almost impossible to mess up and the Mac and cheese was good nothing out this world but the fried cheese had a little bit too much shruo whatever it was tha the put on top that maes it sweet , can't talk about any other items than what I purchased but there's many other BBQ places in NYC that get doe for real maybe this place lost it touched from when it opened but was not impressed , staff was nice but not much interaction to day negative or positive review pretty neutral

    MY DELICIOUS SANDWICH. Only bad thing is it ended.

    So asked my son what he wanted for his birthday and all he wanted was Bark. We got there and OMG. it was better than the last time. We had the brisket, Mac and cheese, rice, maduros, a chicharron/brisket sandwich and a chopped brisket sandwich. We ate that food with so much joy and content that it was almost heaven. The juiciness, the flavor, the quantity they give you - yes, yes, yes. The wait on line was so worth it. The train ride there was meh but was worth it. Go there fast and go there often.

    WHEN: Sat @11am It was our one day outing in Brooklyn so chose Bark BBQ to have lunch! I've never had Dominican Texas style BBQ before! It's located in the very lovely Time Out Market, a section amongst other food vendors that does not open until 11am. We got here just before they open, with 2 parties ahead of us. The only reason there was a delay was they needed to replace the warming light bulb. Otherwise I'm sure the line would have moved much more quickly. No biggy. Meats here are priced by the half pound which is a good amount for 2 people to try. So between my partner and I, we ordered: BRISKET - $19.50/0.5lb - 2 slices PORK RIBS - $16/0.5lb - 2 pieces Both meat selections were well seasoned, tender, and rich. SO GOOD!!!! Wow, I was so impressed by this! The 2 sauces to dip in is a must but even without them the meats were good! MAC & CHEESE - $6 (small) The sides come in 3 sizes and the small is plenty for 2 people to share as a side. It was really good, and I love how dramatic it looks with the cheese sauce overflowing, and the cup filled to the very top like a mountain. Cheesy, creamy, and everything you'd expect from quality Mac n cheese! TORTA DOMINICANA - $4 Cornbread and Honey Butter Definitely get this whether you want it with your meats or later as a dessert because it's really good and gooey. I enjoyed this hunk of moist corn cube. It was such a nice day out so we sat outside. With the place being a rooftop, we had a fantastic view of the bridge!

    My friend and I rolled up while browsing time out market and the sound of Dominican bbq was irresistible to me. It was a good sign that there was a decent sized line too. Very casual place. If you've never been, it's in a cozy food hall type of place. Chill. Great views of the water and bridge just outside. When you first rock up there is a guy who slices of a piece of brisket for you to sample. That was a very nice touch but I've had better. The brisket flavor was there but it wasn't tender whatsoever. It was on the lean side for sure. I ordered the larger of the two beef ribs that were on display and it was monstrous, absolutely massive. I had a late breakfast so that was more than enough food for at two meals. My friend and I got our meals to-go. She ordered the maduros (cooked plantains), brisket, cornbread, and chicharrones (which were delicious). The longanisa was good albeit a bit spicy, definitely well seasoned. My friend LOVED the mofongo (both of our first time trying it). It isn't always on the menu apparently. I thought it tasted like Latin stuffing haha. Not my cup of tea but the flavors were there and it was very interesting haha. All together my Mofongo, beef rib, and longanisa totaled almost $75 before tip which is pretty hefty must say. It is a ton of food though and you're definitely paying a premium for the meatier items. My friend wasn't impressed by the cornbread and only had a bite or two. Same with the brisket. Too dry. We all enjoyed the chicharrones and longanisa and beef rib though. I'd recommend this place for some things but skip the cornbread and brisket. I'd like to go back to try the pork ribs and dine in instead of get takeout.

    Bark Barbecue is located on the rooftop level of the Time Out Market. There are a couple of other restaurants on the same level. Once you order and get your food, there are a lot of seating available (kinda cafeteria style). There's also outdoor seating where you can get a beautiful view of Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline. I ordered the Beef Brisket (which you order by weight). I thought it tasted great and the BBQ sauce was delicious! Also ordered the Maduros, which were really good. On a busy Friday night, I was surprised to find almost no line to order. The food was very good, and the view outdoors was spectacular. Will definitely return.

    Mac and Cheese
    Jamie D.

    I don't usually write negative reviews, but I was really disappointed with both the service and the food during this visit. When we first arrived, we weren't greeted and stood there for a while before anyone acknowledged us. After placing our order, we were told there would be about a 20-minute wait for the mac and cheese, which I had no problem with. They brought out the rest of our food while we waited. However, the person who took our order never gave us a receipt, which I didn't realize until it was time to pick up the mac and cheese. Unfortunately, that employee had already left, so when my friend tried to explain that we had ordered it, there was some pushback from the staff (which they wouldn't have known so it's no fault on them). We eventually received the mac and cheese, but it was disappointing. There was far too much cheese compared to the noodles, which made the texture very thick and heavy instead of creamy. Making it gummy like. Overall the food was mid except for the sandwich. While we were eating, the employee who originally took our order came back and told us we "didn't order that size," then walked away with an attitude. I didn't appreciate the tone or the approach, especially since we were never given a receipt and there seemed to be a lack of communication between staff. She also never asked me what size mac and cheese I wanted, I simply said I wanted mac and cheese. And all my friend did was do the same to the next set of staff members. This was my second visit. I wanted to give the place another chance because I had heard good things about the sandwich, which I did find delicious. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience didn't live up to expectations. Everyone's experience may be different, but sadly this one was disappointing and I don't think I'll be returning. I love the lay out of the rooftop. You can grab a drink at the bar while you wait.

    Pork ribs
    Alex M.

    Bark Barbecue in the Time Out Market in DUMBO is an absolute must try. They are located on the 5th level of the building, and while you will probably see a long line, do not let that deter you. Take it as a sign of how good the food is because the wait is absolutely worth it. Before I even get to the food, I want to highlight how friendly the staff was. Even the person who was not serving me made sure to greet me warmly, and both servers offered me samples of the brisket and sausage, which if anybody knows me, know I'm not turning that down. For my order, I got the pork ribs, rice and beans, and the torta Dominica (not pictured). Everything was amazing. I love bbq, and this place did not disappoint. I cannot say I fully understand what officially qualifies as Dominican Texas bbq, but whatever they are doing, it works. The flavors were on point and I was well pleased with my order and my overall experience. Honestly, I think it is time for Bark BBQ to consider opening their own brick and mortar location. If that day ever comes, I will gladly support it and recommend it to anybody who loves great bbq. Job very well done.

    Super cool spot on the terrace/rooftop of Timeout Market in Brooklyn. Located in the upper food court, this is one of the spots you can't order online so you have to queue to order food. The line moves relatively quick and you can get bevies from the bar for sips while you wait. We got the longanisa, beef rib, and brisket. For sides we got the mac n cheese, pickled veggies and corn bread. The meats were by far the best I've had when compared to the other southern bbq spots in the city - extremely tender brisket, flavorful sausage with the perfect bite, and the beef rib was just plain impressive. Overall cool location and delicious bbq!

    I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS BUT I FEEL I HAVE TO. For those who came here to complain about price, stop crying. I bet you have a $10 coffee addiction, don't ride the train and would never go say these things to the owner's face. You knew the prices because they're clearly listed before you order(see picture). So bring tissues next time. I don't know what food some others had because nothing was lacking seasoning or flavor, and nothing was dry as the food is literally removed from the ovens and cut up in front of you, when you order it. My party of 9 enjoyed practically everything on the menu. The brisket was cut hot and was juicy. The pulled pork was excellent, the rib tips very tasty, the chicharron was my personal favorite. I've been eating chicharron all my life and this is by far the BEST!!!!!!! Juicy, tender, crispy, not all fat or dry like other places, it's a must-have!!!!! Someone else claimed the mac n cheese was flavorless and that's when I knew they were lying. It was cheesy and seasoned well. The cole slaw and cornbread were delicious and great side options. Definitely get a Country Club soda to round out the Dominican experience. SALUD!!!!! Staff is welcoming, accommodating and friendly, give them a try. I can't wait to go back!!!!!

    Got here around 6pm, the wait was a bit long but the line moves. The other half of our party had to hunt down somewhere to sit because it was crowded. The longaniza was probably one of my favorite bites. The ribs were tender and peppery. The chicharrones were crispy. They sell out quick of certain items. The mac and cheese was good, the maduros were crispy and sweet. The cornbread is dense and the honey butter on top is very sweet. I do still want to try the brisket and carnitas so I would definitely try it again.

    Tres Golpes Sandwich
    Christiane W.

    Dominican Texas-Style BBQ? Say less! I'd heard all the hype about Bark and finally had to check it out. Located inside Time Out Market on the 5th floor in DUMBO, Brooklyn, it's worth the trip--plus they've got rooftop seating with killer views of the City and the Brooklyn & Manhattan Bridges. At lunch, the line was long (about 20 minutes), but once you order, food comes out quick as they put your order together right in front of you. I went for the Tres Golpes sandwich--pulled pork, fried cheese, maduros (plantains), and bark sauce on a fluffy bun. So many layers of goodness! Honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Juicy, flavorful pork, crispy cheese, sweet plantains, and that sauce? Next level. Highly recommend grabbing an extra side of it. Paired nicely with a cold refreshing watermelon cucumber margarita from the bar! The menu is loaded--meats by the 1/2 lb, sandwiches, sides--and prices run about $25 per person for a meal, standard for the area. Solid service, great food, and those rooftop views seal the deal. If you're in NYC, definitely make the trip to Brooklyn for this spot.

    Where can I park there during the week?

    There's street parking and possibly parking garages around

    What are the prices like?

    Between $30-$50 pp, depending on how much you're ordering with your eyes. You can start conservatively, then add if you want more.

We added an extra half chicken, and thought "that's a wrap". However, there was an appetizer special of thinly sliced octopus prepared Peruvian style that needed to be ordered too. The service was excellent. Not overwhelming, but just right. Dishes were cleared, napkins replaced, straw wrappers taken away as soon as they hit the table.
