I would've given this place 5 stars because honestly, I loved almost everything about it. The atmosphere, the music, the cherry bourbon, and especially the food were outstanding. I ended up taking my meal to-go and ate it later -- absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the bartender completely changed the experience for me. She was a redhead working the bar around 7:30 PM, and from the moment I sat down, she was noticeably unwelcoming. I was literally the only person sitting at the bar, yet she barely checked on me, offered no conversation, and honestly came across with an attitude the entire time. As someone who has worked in the bartending industry myself and who travels often visiting different restaurants and bars, hospitality matters. A bartender sets the tone for the entire experience, especially for solo guests. Sitting alone at a bar can already feel awkward enough, and a warm, welcoming attitude goes a long way. I still tipped her generously despite the experience, because that's just who I am, but management should really pay attention to how guests are being treated behind the bar. It's disappointing because I truly loved the place itself and wanted to give it a full 5 stars. With better customer interaction from the bartender, this place would easily deserve it. The day I was there tonight, which was May 18th 2026. I arrived about 730 and left about 845. read more

Its a nice place probably for a drink and an appetizer, but even than the spinach dip is not it! The Brussels was gross. My ribs were good. Not enough for me to visit again. The cheesy patatoes, no, I wasn't empressed by the food. read more

Came in for dinner and was able to sit in the bar area. The peanut butter pie was delicious. We thought we would give it another try thinking maybe the food was not hot last time because things were slow on a Sunday afternoon. Nope. Everything came out lukewarm. The "double on the rocks" was shameful. The service was ok at best and the seating is cramped and very loud. Not my kind of place anymore. read more

We ordered DoorDash from here as a large group. I got the pulled pork sandwich with Mac and Cheese. As a southern girlie, my pulled pork sandwich was really good and I liked the BBQ sauce provided. I also tried the Dyngle fries and chips as my friends got them to share and it was good. Overall, the food was tasty and o would recommend. I would like to try some other items on the menu that sounds good, so I hope to return soon. read more

Barry Dyngles - Pulled Pork Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Seemed like a lively place. Tons of people. Large outside area and inside. Tons of TV's. Unfortunately the food didn't impress. The brisket was the worst. Kc ribs weren't great. Baby back ribs were decent enough. Mac and cheese was horrible. People on this part of Ohio might think this is good bbq though. You shouldn't need a large knife and a lot of effort to cut thru brisket. Waitress was nice and friendly though. read more

We came here after granddaughters graduation from YSU. It was so noisy and loud that you could not converse with people at your own table. Food was lukewarm, and they did not bring one of our parties meal out until we were done eating. They did not charge for the meal but by then it was a to-go meal. In addition, I dont know what is going on with their tables but the entire tabletop was sticky and gross. Overall, we would not recommend due to loud atmosphere, mediocre food for the price, and service that was sub par. read more

I stopped in to get dinner with my cousins. The food was great and portions were huge. I particularly liked the Reuben Sandwich. Others got great pasta dishes. Prices and service were good. It's not cheap but it is a warm and inviting experience. Definitely recommended. read more

Best bbq I've had in town recently. I've been here 2 or 3 times and it has a lot of seating and plenty of choices for your bbq needs. Pretty sure they recently renovated & have some more outdoor space but I haven't seen it in person yet. Casual and chill spot. Star removed for wait time and feeling not attended to during a lowkey dinner with 8 of us that we had a reservation for. read more

Reviews and voices was over hype about this place, me and my wife decided for date night try something new for the first time, server was nice and all kept my drink full, but not gonna lie this place is very loud not enjoyable for date night, then food came wife got the black pepper chicken and I got brisket sandwich, brisket was ok tender but no flavor at all had to put bbq on it and wife chicken was small with A LOT of noodle sauce was watery, don't have that southern feel to it more like modern bbq place, all waiter and waitress was dress like they golf, nothing southern about it. then when the check came wow this place is expensive 67 buck, then we saw our card was charge 70 we was confuse then server told us to run a card there a SURCHARGE like what that crazy already spent 67 now the place want more I'm sorry decent ok place but expensive and will never come back to this place again read more

The food is always so good! They also are very accommodating! I had an anniversary with my gf and called them to request anything special, they then sat me in the only private booth they had! The manager is so kind too. I will say it's open floor concept so.. it does get loud. But overall amazing place! Super cool decor too! read more

Garbage food. Cooked days ahead of time and served cold. I ordered a half rack of baby backs, baked beans, cornbread, and a baked potato. ALL TERRIBLE! The baby backs were at least a week old, dried out, tasted like the refridgerator, and were tiny. Six tiny ribs from perhaps a very small (baby?) pig. Not fit to eat. The baked beans were pork & beans straight from the can with a dash of garlic powder - and were cold. Not fit to eat. The baked potato? They were sold out and the waitress said they've been out for several weeks; so I got fries. They were ice cold and had been sitting for several hours. Not fit to eat. The cornbread? It was cold so I asked for it to be microwaved. It came back hot but literally fell apart when picked up and crumbled when a fork was used. It too was old; made days ago. Again... not fit to eat. So... we left the trash food on the table, left a tip for the waitress (a nice young lady), and it cost $40. This place says they're a BBQ joint?? This was truly garbage - not fit to eat. read more

I have tried this restaurant a few times and have also tried to like it. The atmosphere is nice and upbeat but the food can definitely use some improvement. Both the brisket and the ribs have been very tough each time I have ordered them. The safest bet is the pulled pork. Service is hit or miss and usually on the slower side read more

In town for class reunion. Last night together was dinner at Barry Dyngles. Wonderful layout, attentive & friendly staff. The food, the food!! If I see brisket, I'm ordering brisket. Wow! We had 4-6 apps at our table and each was as delicious as the other. Deviled eggs were my fave. Will be back on next visit. read more

The service at the outdoor bar is shockingly sub-par. I continue to go back because I enjoy the food and the vibe. I've experienced and witnessed countless empty cups and bartenders intentionally avoiding eye contact with patrons. You shouldn't have to ask for another drink let alone flag someone down to pay your tab. I really hope this improves and doesn't detract from the food and atmosphere. read more

So disappointing. Food here used to be so good I always loved the Carolina chicken but this time the pieces were so small and dry The sides were not good and for the price I would not come back read more

I got the pick 2 KC ribs, and Pork.. the ribs were flavorful but I wish they were more fall off the bone. Pork was great. This also came with two sides. I picked baked potato and then the italian greens, I wish they were softer (steamed more?) and less crunchy. I also added a photo of the kids menu because when I went to look at photos & the menu I couldn't find one. Waitress was very polite. Very cute and clean establishment!! I would give it a second try when in the area again. read more

Enjoyed a meal at Barry Dingles last evening. They had an incredible special which included ribs,half chicken, brisket and 2 sides for only 24$. Great deal! Food was very good, great flavors and cooked to perfection. The vibe of this restaurant is interesting when you first enter it feels like a traditional bbq restaurant with lots of wood and a country feel but we were seated upstairs in the back and it was more modern with a artificial ivy wall with and LED signage. Our service was great, our waitress was very friendly and helped with the menu because it was our first time dining. Overall awesome experience and would definitely recommend, will be back for sure! read more

I ordered the Chicken Kabobs. The chicken was cut thick but lacked flavor. Needed a seasoning rub or some BBQ sauce on it. Also the rice that accompanied it had no flavor either. It looked like Minute Rice. read more

Okay had mediocre reviews but the name was hilarious. Looked at the menu on Yelp and we thought we'd try. Saturday night the place was packed. Not a bad wait though. Just 30 mins. However, we snagged 2 seats at the bar. Bartender was nice and attentive and it was pretty busy. We asked a few questions on the menu and ordered the chicken tenderloin dinner for me. And Kathy got the Carolina chicken. You get 2 sides. I got a salad and sweet potato fries. Kathy got the cheese potatoes and a salad. Salads came out first. Recommend the creamy Italian. Really good. The food came out soon after. Now I have ordered sweet potato fries in a lot of places but these were really crispy which is rare. Usually they come out kinda soggy. These were good and crispy. And as far as chicken tenders go, I got 8 huge pieces. They are huge. 2 people can eat this. They were crispy and really awesome. Better than Canes or anywhere else. I ate 4 and took 4 home. Honestly huge. I would get that again without question. Kathy got the Carolina chicken and the cheese potatoes. Good BBQ sauce and nice size half chicken. She really liked it. The potatoes were like cheese hash browns. Unique but good. Bartenders was nice and attentive. There were 2 women holding down the fort. Doing a great job. Place was pretty hopping. Parking was tight but all good. Honestly, first experience was a great experience. I'd go back and get something else. Also get what I got again. The BBQ sauce is mild and really good. Smells awesome when you walk in. I don't live by here but I'd make a trip back. Prices are average for BBQ. You get a lot of food. So it's almost 2 meals for most. They are COVID safe. All good here. Definitely try it. read more

Everyone said this was the best BBQ in the area. The brisket had no smoke ring. The baby back ribs were overcooked falling off the bone There should be some tug when you bite into them.

Recently tried Barry Dingles for an outing and boy did it turn out to be tasty! We started with the peppers and oil, which I've found out is a Youngstown icon. They were absolutely delicious! They had the buffalo chicken salad on special, so had to try that with a garlic ranch, so delicious! The service was great and we were checked on thoroughly throughout the meal. The building was very well kept and inside had a great vibe. Overall, very nice restaurant to give a try if you haven't already! read more

First time in Austintown and a friend recommended here. I love barbecue and I have enjoyed it in many states! Unfortunately, our experience wasn't very pleasant. My husband and I both had the Pick two. He had the KC Ribs, smoked Turkey and I had the pick two with smoked turkey and the garlic sausage. The Turkey was so dry - I couldn't eat it. The sausage was nothing like what you expect to get in a BBQ restaurant- it was almost like a fancy hot dog with garlic in it. The ribs were full of fat - very little meat. The baked beans were excellent- the cornbread was like yellow cake - overly sweet. It just wasn't worth the $50 spent for lunch. Barbecue should be easy - and not taste that bad. read more

I love this place... My only complaint is that the music is so LOUD in the dining area that you can't even hear someone talking. Not a good place to have a group and carry on a conversation. Why do we need such Loud music at a lovely restaurant, it's not even good music. The food and service is outstanding. The music is the only complaint. read more

After a long week, went to a nicer bbq establishment. Dangles was a pleasure. Did a three meat (close to 2 pounds), brisket, pulled pork ann KC ribs. Sides of remashed potatoes with a little kick and the baked beans infused with burnt ends. Manager came and checked on me and gave me a special chopped sport pepper olive oil topping. I would definitely come back! All so good. Meat falling off the bone. And all had just the right amount of smoke. #spicemeister approved. read more

So we ordered Dingle chips, they come with an Amazing dipping sauce. The corn bread is so Fresh and moist it doesn't need butter. We ordered the Bow Tie pasta and greens. Huge portion enough for two people to share. The food is amazing. I ordered it to go, and when I told the person on the phone I had a cast on and was there a pick up area she told me where to wait and she brought it out to me with a Huge Smile. Everything packed up very well. I cannot say enough about the quality of the food and the taste. One of my favorite places. Hope to try other things at some point but Love the Pasta so will be awhile before I do. The pasta reheats very well for another meal. They do not skimp on anything. read more

A taste of The Carolinas & Kansas City in the Mahoning Valley! Barry Dyngles is nothing short of fantastic. The place is always busy & for good reason. Their barbecue is nothing short of inspired, but it doesn't end there. The entire menu is thoughtfully curated, with delightful sauces paired expertly with entrees, and artisan rolls/breads that perfectly compliment the sandwich they bookend. You needn't worry about venturing beyond their succulent smoked meats. Their steaks, sandwiches & burgers are some of the best in the valley. The owner (apologies, I don't know his name) is always present, always politicking/schmoozing, always making the rounds to insure his clientele is having a great experience. Such a throwback to a better time in the restaurant business. They have a sizable, well apportioned bar, but the dining room is far enough away to keep the family friendly vibe intact. BDs gets crazy busy nights & weekends, so be advised. It's a great barbecue place, a great local pub, & a great foodie location. I can't say enough good things about 'em. One last thing. Our last trip here, our server was Sara (Sarah?) and she was terrific! A dining establishment is only as good as their people, and their staff kicks ass. read more

I love this place. Years ago, was not this great. Over past few years, it just gets better and better each time I visit. My go to is the wedsnesday and Thursday half rack specials with two sides. Between 11 AM and 3 PM they have killer lunch specials. This place is killer every time. And again, if you are here years ago, and said "meh", then come back, this is unreservedly great BBQ, and being ex Air Force, where the majority of the bases are in the South, and where I would get good to great "Q" from South Carolina to Texas, this place stands up! Great food! I may just be lucky but always great service, never gone wrong here! And.... Feb 27 2020; $12 Baby back rib special. This place is newly remodeled and is just as GREAT as it has always been. I'm gonna throw in a couple pix, or not. I mean, it is just SOOOOO GOOOOOD! read more

*looks into the camera* Northerners know how to do BBQ, legit BBQ. This isn't a dig, it's just a pleasant surprise as I've had some questionable BBQ north of the Mason-Dixon line and Barry Dyngles has been a pleasant and welcomed surprise. The ribs are tender and delicious, they come with sauce but you can request to have one of the other sauces used in lieu of the house one. They also have weekly specials that are usually on point. The staff is friendly and makes the experience here along with the atmosphere very welcoming and warm; I can't find any faults here - even the delivery/take out is set up with a stand right at the front door for quick pick-up. read more

Of late I've been on the search for good BBQ. Seems like I'm in a different state once a week, but I can't seem to find a BBQ restaurant that I say say is top notch. I've tried BBQ restaurants in Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, etc. well tonight I found the BBQ I've been looking for. This week I'm in Youngstown, Ohio on business and came across "Barry Dyngles". It looks like it's undergoing a renovation or a reconstruction. As you walk in your at a pair of hostess stations. I requested a booth, which was no problem. There are several long tables large enough to hold large groups, and tonight there were a number of groups dining. After looking over the menu I know immediately what I'm having. Kansas City BBQ Ribs. I give my order to a young man and before I know it my meal is in front of me. It's a half rack which considered of about 8-9 ribs. Very meaty and , fall off the bone, tender. BTW, my meal came with two sides. I chose baked beans and baked potato. Each booth has its own TV. Mine and from what I could see all others has an ad for vacationing in the Dominican Republic, a place I don't think I'd go to but the ads were pretty inviting. Hey, never say never. Yes this is real BBQ, the real deal. If I lived in this area I'd be a regular, maybe even have my own table. The only reason I couldn't give a full 5 Stars was the on going renovations. A little messy. You may think denying 5 stars isn't fair but ......... read more
