Finally stopped by Fink's BBQ Roadhouse and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is super laid-back and the service was incredibly welcoming from the moment we walked in. If you're visiting, you absolutely have to try: * The Beef Brisket: It was incredibly tender, perfectly smoked, and had a great bark. Easily some of the best brisket in the area. * Fried-A-Que Chicken: This is a game changer--slow-smoked then flash-fried so it's juicy on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside. * The Corn Soufflé: Do not skip this side! It's creamy, sweet, and total comfort food. * Smoked Wings: They have a deep, rich flavor that pairs perfectly with their house-made sauces. The portions are generous and everything tasted fresh and made from scratch. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-visit for any BBQ lover! read more

Came in for a later dinner quick bite to eat. I am not sure what the energy was there tonight but it was not a great meal in anyway. Service was perhaps understaffed or the people they have waiting tables were missing common sense (or their brains altogether). It took over 10 minutes of people walking past us to get anyone's attention and there were ample tables open yet we were not seating until one of the tables being used left and was cleaned. We ordered appetizers and two meals. I ordered the loaded baked potato soup in a bowl, a cup came out and thank goodness. It was terrible. Tasted like pepper heavy cream some cheese and a few measly bacon bits. Our server or any server was nowhere to be found to even complain to. We ordered our go to Cajun rub wings which were delicious as usual except them came out with blue cheese. Our server didn't ask if we had a preference or ranch or blue cheese which is fine that was not much of an issue. I said we wanted to start with appetizers and then order meals in a bit once we decide and if we were still hungry. We order this way every time and it's never been an issue. I kid you not our server walked away for a minute tops after telling us to,"take all the time you need", asking,"so you decide yet?" We opted for a pulled turkey cheese steak and large pork and fries. My cheesesteak I had to coach thru the entire ordering process. I asked for a side salad. Was not asked the dressing type or anything. Once I main meals came out someone else brought them to the table. I had no salad dressing and all of the staff were nowhere to be found. So I started to eat the salad dry. Finally our server comes over and asks how everything is. I asked for salad dressing and he runs off and brings me back blue cheese without asking. I said no thank you I will not eat blue cheese I'd like oil and vinegar please. Getting the check took forever. Then once he dropped it off another maybe 10-15 minutes to get my card run. This is not the Finks we know and are used to and enjoy. The other server seemed to constantly be giving dirty looks and was vaping within the restaurant between tables, like are you kidding me extremely unprofessional?! Very disappointed in our meal and service. Especially the fact it was not even busy at all. We paid our bill and left just in time because the entire bar side smell of cigarettes was creeping over as if people were smoking inside. Safe to say I do not think we will be returning to this location sadly. read more

The food was / is good here, but the owner is an F'n toolbox. I heard they closed, but then I heard they reopened?!? Food is good, but the owner should stay in the kitchen. read more

Service was friendly. Note: We went at 3:45 so there's no brisket available until 5:30. Food. Ribs and chicken wings were good. I had the catfish platter. Catfish was fishy tasting. Fries were horrible. Felt old and mushy. Side dish: sweet corn souffle was very good. Moist and tasty. Mac & cheese. Yuck! Dry and flavorless We told the waiter and he said he'll tell the kitchen but did NOT offer to replace it. The side dish was about the size of a child's yogurt cup. So small. Not impressed with the food. Oonly liked the ribs. read more

Fink's barbecue is a Meat Lovers Paradise! I have been there quite a few times and It is my favorite barbecue restaurant! Everything there is absolutely delicious! This time, I had a pork belly slider and a brisket slider. The meats were so tender and flavorful! OMG! A must try is the corn pudding. It is a pure heaven and believe it if not, the main reason I go to Finks. Although it's not around the corner from me, it definitely is worth the drive. Service is always on point and it has a nice vibe. Definitely give it a try. You won't regret it. read more

The food is too salty and they leave bay leaves in the soup, ready to perforate your colon. They can only cater now due to lack of space.

LOVE to have fried catfish!! It's been too long, and Fink's definitely hit the spot! And for someone who doesn't much care for greens, I took my leftovers home! Very juicy, not bitter, and a nice flavor overall. I love the daily specials, such a great idea that's not seen very often. Really meaty wings, and next time, I'll be sure to get a regular sauce as advertised, rather than the dry rubs that I usually prefer. I also really liked the ambience, multi-levels, taking advantage of the uneven terrain it's built on. We did have to ask after our wings, since we'd already gotten our entrees before them, but they were promptly delivered. Can't wait to come back and enjoy more of the menu! read more

Hope they open up again! Miss that place!! Amazing food and great staff!! Parking kinda hard but if you know when to go its no problem!

Hot Diggity Dog let's get funky at Finky town. This is Linguini Bonotucci of Yelp Elite News reporting to you live from Fink's in Suffern. Regionally referred to as a motorcycle mattress and a headache of a parking lot, those who dare to enter leave ready to return in a few hours for entree number 2. Join me as I sit down with customers, maybe talk to some cooks and possibly order some food for myself! I'm here with first-time customer Bobby Ray, Bobby what are the vibes you're catching here you little spunk rocket, "Hey Linguini...", Call me Mr. Bonotucci. Respect me or you'll find out why you should... "Yes, sorry hello Mr. Bonotucci, big fan. The vibes are legit. I was a little scared to come into this spot but I'm legit happy to be here. I can smell what the rock is cooking, I can almost taste it. I'm legit slippin out my socks inside of my crocs I'm ready to let these dawgs howlllll." Alright sir come calm down, I'm going to 'legit' have to tell you to take 5 steps back from me and bury your cheeks in breath mints because your facehole smells like a pig pen you shameless hog. Oinkkkkkkkk. "Do I really smell that bad?" Don't speak until spoken to, do you understand Bobby? Shut it... I'm back on the air. You heard it here first, Fink's passes the vibe check. It's what you expect but also kind of more because most don't expect anything in here. Follow me to the booth with that lizard looking family of 6... hello folks what do we got here on the table? "We've done an assortment of the best appetizers as described by you Mr. B, to share amongst us. Smoked Wings, Gumbo, Tots and Porkenfries." Oh wow so just ordering apps today then? "No these are just the starters we'll get our meals after." Lord have mercy, how many toilets are at your house? Don't answer that... I'm sure Fink's will deliver a plumber to your house free of charge. Class organization. For those that have never been, the wings here ALWAYS hit that spot. The G one, or so I've heard. What do I recommend? I recommend you Cajun Dust me with that dirt you naughty ol' chicken... then Tango with me while we're lathered in Tangy Apple BBQ. YeeeeHawwwwww. Sorry, cut out there at the end. I'm here with Gal Fieri who is covered in pork. Lady, can you free your hands and mouth from that plate of pork to answer a few questions? "Nom nom nom nom nom" Ma'am can you hear me? Hello? No? Oh man bring the camera closer look at her eyes. She's possessed by the soul of the entire Pig she's consuming here. I brought a needle... bring that over here and watch as I remove some blood from her and test the contents. Huh? Is it sanitized? Idk. Just keep rolling... I found it in the bathroom it's not a big deal. Wow look at the "liquid" I've extracted... I don't even have to test it. That is coming out super slow, yes that is pure lard coursing her veins. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. I'm gonna be honest I'm getting pretty hungry here this lady doesn't deserve to be having all the fun does she? ~ (Linguini sets down his mic, unbuttons 10 buttons from his shirt, pulls out the insides of his pockets from his jeans, slightly undoes his zipper and dives head first into Gal Fieri's plate of pork. They are both just going at it, bite for bite it is a scene of bewilderment... seemingly lost in the pork they meet eyes for a moment and begin to French Kiss 6 ounces of Pulled Pork in and out of each others mouths. You'd anticipate the restaurant would begin to clear, but this is just a normal Wednesday night at Fink's.) ~ Hey guys I'm back, sorry just lost my place there on the prompter (wipes pork and mashed potatoes off corner of mouth and puts undershirt covered in duck lard back on.) The pulled pork is simply at another level here. It is always perfect by itself or in between two blessed buns. Corn Soufflé is the best side, Mac and Cheese is sublime, Quackie Tatties, some real nice baddies... just endless options... I'm just happy to be here. All the cheesesteaks are wonderful. They are huge, they are creative, they are customizable. They serve hot dogs. They come out fantastic. I feel like I'm a kid at a carnival here. My eyes are wide open, my smile runs ear to ear, I'm not wearing any pants. Life is simple at Finks. Smell food. Choose food. Eat food. Repeat until your belly rolls out of your shirt and you begin to foam out of your mouth whatever you most recently ate. Only then can you contemplate leaving. And at that point? You still may choose to stay. Thanks for staying through this review. This is Linguini Bonotucci of Yelp Elite News... until next time. read more

Fink's BBQ Roadhouse - Smoked Wings - American Near Me - Suffern, New York

Usually never come here and now I remember why, the food is mediocre and the service is terrible. When I went for dinner, there were two waiters and two bussers all about college level. We waited 10 minutes to get seated then after every single person kept leaving, there was about seven tables that they just left dirty, they didn't clean any of them. They ran out of turkey at 6 PM at night. Our waitress decided to up and go on break. Never came back to check on us. We didn't get any silverware and one of the guys were saying they ran out of knives and had to clean them then when they did clean them, they left sharp knives in front of my two-year-old. The portions were very tiny. And the overall experience was just terrible. I won't be coming back here again. read more

Amazing service and even better food. The chef takes his craft and applies it to all the dishes. Can't go wrong with pulled anything that's on the menu. Wings were top notch and Mac and cheese is to die for. read more

We really enjoyed our meal! Last minute decision to try Finks tonight. They were nut aware and fry in soy bean oil. Our waitress Allie was awesome and super nice. Hands down the corn soufflé is amazing as well as their dessert choices. My son thought the root bear was delicious. We all enjoyed our meals, standard bbq with good portions. We will come back. It is a 4 instead of a 5 because parking is horrible and my chair felt unstable (changed chairs and still felt that way). read more

Great BBQ and seasonal menu reflected Fat Tuesday offerings such as the brisket BBQ. Also, the cornbread soufflé is a local favorite for over 20th years. Not your typical cornbread and it was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend and would eat heat again if we lived closer. read more

Meats are solid. Brisket is good, good flavor, a tiny bit tough. Half bird is excellent, flavorful and crispy. We had the 2nd cut beef rib, it was perfect, we like it lean. Very nice Smokey flavor, use the bone to make a soup and it added so much flavor to my soup. Corn soufflé is amazing, wish I ordered a larger serving. Mac and cheese is thick and a little bit dry. Definitely one of the better bbq places in the area. read more

Everything you'd want in a BBQ joint and Bar. This is the best BBQ I've had anywhere in the Northeast and I think it just became my new favorite Restaurant in New York! It's seriously that good! I highly recommend going on Wednesday night for 75¢ wings but also don't forget to get the Duck Fat Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Corn Brûlée and Beer Cheese Macaroni! Oh yeah and their Brisket and Ribs are also absolutely incredible. Go and go often so you don't miss out on their deliciously creative specials like Pork Belly Lollipops! read more

TL;DR Version: - Exceptional service (Shout out to Paul!) - Dog friendly outdoor seating - Decent BBQ. Solid 3.5/5 for grub. Long Winded Version: Food: 3.5/5 - Brisket was a bit dry. May it was an off day. - Brisket sandwich had a bit too many flavors, brisket got lost Location: 4/5 - Convenient if you're hiking one of the many trails in the area Atmosphere / Ambiance: 5/5 - Nice and chill. Friendly customers. - Service is steller. Our waiter Paul was friendly and attentive. Quality: 5/5 - Solid food at a good price. read more

Fink's was on point. Kept hearing about the cheesesteak but it was more than just cheesesteak! Service, engagement, customer service, and the place as a whole. Walking in and figured sitting at the bar would give a vibe of how everything goes here. Ordered the classic at first and actually took one home as well. Good beer selection and more liquor than I knew what to do with. Krissy at the bar was inviting and had plenty of good conversation. With all the spots in the area, Fink,'s is a Dimond in the rough. Pay them a visit and tell them who sent you! read more

This place is bomb. Some of the best bbq I've had in the north east. Call ahead and make a reservation if you're going on a weekend. Everything I've tried here is incredible. Some stand outs are the quackie tatties, tater tots and corn soufflé. read more

... Would follow this man to the ends of the Earth for his BBQ and Gumbo. Pulled Pork consistently juicy, Ribs are meaty. The Pulled Turkey is a sleeper hit! Smokes his wings, so they're never flabby. And OMG - the Bacon Bleu chips... really, no words. Try it today. read more

As close as you can get to dumpster quality food. Ribs were dry and burnt beyond recognition. Tried to save it with bbq sauce. No chance. Staff aren't knowledgeable about how the pricing of their sides work. The ribs went back in the garbage probably where they came from. Place is unsanitary. Bathrooms are as clean as porta potty. I imagine the kitchen is just as clean. On the upside the soda machine works and the corn soufflé is decent. read more

Had to update this review as yesterday's meal was epic. Starter of cracklings that were actually crackling were amazing, well seasoned needing no sauce although it comes with it. The star of the BBQ show though, is the pulled pork. So so good that Pete Jones would be impressed. Sides of slaw and greens did not disappoint either. Our server was on point. Thank you for making it through the pandemic!! In Rockland so few BBQ places survive. read more

Food is definitely good, it's the service and staff that is just ok. More than once I've placed an order for pickup and when home realized things were missing from the order. Call to let them know and they are non apologetic. So while the food is good I recommend 1000% checking every time you pick up your order. read more

Fantastic barbecue, choose your barbecue, whatever you want. Pickled jalapeños were very spicy an incredible. Grab one of their local beers. Off the beaten path, but worth the ride. read more

This cheesesteak is legit! I went with the classic with peppers and beer cheese. The service is very friendly and attentive. The owner is buzzing around making sure everyone is happy. Nice guy. The space inside is very cozy and chill. We sat in the bar area and had a great meal. read more

We ordered take out from Finks and it was really delicious! We got the classic cheesesteak on a hero with American cheese and lettuce. We upgraded the order to French fries instead of chips. Also got Yesterday's Brisket with an upgrade to tater tots instead of chips. All we can say is YUMMY! Really good bbq food! We will definitely order here again. The restaurant looked really cute so next time, we will eat there instead of take out. Also, their coleslaw is very tasty. We ordered some beer cheese on the side and dipped our fries in it - game changer!! read more

not pictured are the fabulous cheese steaks we enjoyed because we were too busy scarfing them down.

Bbq is not bad. I wouldn't be opposed to return although don't come in with high expectations. Ordered a beef rib. You can choose one of 3 cuts which vary from $55 to $26. I got the 3rd cut (which is more on the fatty side, and the cheapest). The marinate which they added was really tasty, although I couldn't really detect much smoky flavor. Got the platter which came with a side of tots and beans. The tots were great. The beans were terrible though. Just a really weird taste and I couldnt detect any hint of smoke. I think the platter was a $8 upcharge. That was a little overpriced Parking lot is not huge and there doesn't appear to be any other parking close by Staff did a great job handling our large party. read more

Got there first time ever walked in bar on the left restaurant on the right waited a little bit at the door then I seated myself as an appetizer I had the Texas lollipop (4) with a white sauce to me tasted a bit of horseradish in there then ordered The Outpost Sampler the service was great Alex great service along with the team but I noticed that everyone who came left with a plate of food because portions were plentiful I was so full I couldn't order a dessert I had to tap out. A great place to relax & enjoy a great meal the coleslaw was good. A Rockland County BBQ hidden gem hopefully not long. read more

Great spot for solid BBQ and a good selection of beer. Service was well-paced and welcoming; our party of three was well taken care of during a weekday late lunch. We didn't have a lot of time, so I forgot to take photos of our food, but the baby back ribs, the duck and the burger we got were all very delicious and well-presented. Two of the people came in from NYC and they are definitely planning to return. Tables were clean and booths were cozy. BBQ with accompanying sides were all great. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I came here while visiting Suffern. It was recommended by a local business owner. This was the perfect find for our Friday afternoon. Amazing hidden gem. Very passionate chef and manager. The food is very fresh and flavorful. They have a lot of menu options, I don't think you can go wrong. They have a happy hour and I posted the menu. The bartender, Ella, was awesome. She was friendly, quick service, and able to suggest some must try items in the big menu. I loveeeeeeeee spice and was intrigued by the atomic onion topping. It was spicy. super spicy. But it was delicious as a topping. Be warned- hotter than Nashville hot have a drink on hand. Pat shared all the specials with us- one was wing night, another was hot dog night, and I think another was some type of brisket or something. They have outdoor seating and live music in the weekend. Pat encouraged me to follow them on fb and Instagram because they host cooking demonstrations and special events. I am now a follower We will def be back to try the dessert that we learned was made fresh in house! They also have a kids menu . Maybe we will go back as the family! read more

Maddie, our server, made some awesome recommendations, as this was our first time there. Appetizers: the Texas Lollipops and the Cracklins were excellent. Drinks: the Cherry Old Fashioned required a second round. Dinner: ribs were meaty and smoky As many times as we've been by here, I can't believe we haven't stopped before now. read more

I decided to splurge and get the First cut of the beef short rib... this was not worth $55 whatsoever. For $55 I can buy a giant porterhouse for two. I'm not sure what I was expecting but most of it was fatty and I felt like I wasted my money. The bbq isn't bad here, but whenever I go (I get food to go when I go here) they forget the sides in my order. Also they are often out of the sweet corn soufflé even when I order early. I'm more of a cornbread gal myself, but they don't even offer that- just the sweet corn soufflé, which isn't that great even when they do have it. read more

I was honestly expecting so much more from this place. The food was nothing spectacular. I had the brisket...it was tender, but just ok. The portion size seemed like it was meant for a child and I mean a toddler. I also ordered the spare ribs and again they were so small, I regret not getting a picture of it to post. I ordered it for someone and they were disappointed. I was told they were tasty and more meat than fat, but ridiculously miniature in size and too much of a small portion to enjoy or share. I was really embarrassed because I heard great things, but it turned out to be a waste of a drive and a waste of money. The cornbread soufflé was also very delicious, but again seemed like a sampler. This place has to do better for the prices and especially if you want customers to continue their support. read more

I ordered lunch I got expensive shoe leather. I wouldn't have even given the place a single star except the waitress did an adequate job and credited me 3 dollars off my bill . I wanted some corned beef and asked if they had any as it was end of March a few weeks after St. Patrick's day . The waitress said the Yesterdays brisket was the closest they had, I ordered it.... I know I shouldn't have ordered anything meat wise named Yesterday's brisket..Can't say they falsely advertised what I got , but it was BAD. The meat was tough ,like leather,and black and so coated in pepper-(which I Hate) that I couldn't eat it. I had also ordered the corn soufflé instead of chips- which was ok .I paid 26 bucks for what!!!! A soda, A corn soufflé the size of a half cup and shoe leather. The $26 included a tip for the waitress,who had to serve that inedible but aptly named crap. Never will I return and I highly recommend you not waste your money, Like I did- I should've known better. Man all I wanted was my moneys worth and a decent meal - I got neither.. read more

The best part of tonight's meal is the friends that we were with. The "giant ribs" were a bit under cooked, a bit chewy and fatty. The side of salad and the mac and cheese were welcome but just the 10% of the 90% of what we were expecting. Although we were disappointed (and this was a costly eat out), we do enjoy the food here from experience. Tonight, not so good. Deserts were good and the beer was cold. Nice Irish coffees and cocktails throughout. read more

My family loves this place. We have visited both locations and the one in Suffern, NY is our favorite. They have a more extensive menu and typically have live music. This location also has outdoor dining during the warmer months. They have daily specials and this time we went on hot dog night. The hot dogs came out hot and were very flavorful. My kid really enjoyed the mac and cheese. They also have a good kids menu, a bunch of TV's and a nice beer/ cocktail list. I shared the chili special and ordered my typical go- to, the chicken and rib combo. All of the food hit the spot. read more
