Cool Hand Lu says; "Tasty bbq. Will do in a pinch. Sandwich could have been a lil bigger though..." I had a taste for bbq and happened to walk by and decided to grab a bite. I ordered the brisket sandwich and some greens. The sandwich was very flavorful and the two sauces they have made it even better. I could have dealt with the sandwich being a little bigger as I felt I was done eating too soon after starting. The greens were nice as well and even better with a bit of hot sauce. The only off putting part of the meal was the server taking items off the table while I was still eating. I'm sure no harm was meant by it but it's still a bit unwanted to have a hand reaching in while you're still eating with no forewarning. All in all, I had a good meal and I'll be back to get my bbq fix. read more

I witnessed three people in the kitchen without masks had to get money back, Management said they did even though I could see them. Don't go here is not sanitary, they even only sanitize with windex. read more

Amazing waiter! The brisket nachos were good. However the Holy Trinity was subpar at most. The ribs were served lukewarm and everything else didn't fall too far behind. There was nothing special about the brisket and the cornbread was basically fruitcake. Why serve your cornbread cold? Finally I was cooked new ribs but they were just aight. For a $38 plate, was definitely expecting more read more

Service was really great, food was delicious and the bbq was just excellent. Wish y'all had some ranch dressing for the smoked wings () Overall very much enjoyed eating here! read more

Horrible service. Me and my 3 year old son sat down for a meal for my birthday. We waited 20 minutes to get noticed to receive a menu and no water. Meanwhile a white couple with another baby who came 5 minutes after us received water, a menu, and their order taken before we even were noticed and attended to. On top of that when we finally got to make an order and they were out of the fatty and the lean brisket. Would have appreciated a heads up before we were ignored for 20 mins. Thanks for ruining the day :) read more

I have been walking-by this place for months, waiting for it to be warm enough to sit in their very big outdoor section. We ordered the classic mac, corn bread, a Cobb salad (with no bacon) veg tacos and my friend 1/2 lb of fatty brisket and ribs. The Cobb and the corn bread were really good, but the rest of the food was just okay. My friend said the BBQ was just average. It's a decent option for BBQ style food, but it was just okay, overall. read more

I've been to most of the BBQ places in Brooklyn, Morgan's is still #1 when it comes to food quality in my opinion. The brisket (fatty & lean) is definitely the highlight, the turkey and chicken are also delicious, and it stays true to how BBQ should prepared and served. We lived around the block from Morgan's for a few years, we ate here at least once a week and make time to eat there whenever in Brooklyn. read more

I've been here a few times when they first opened, was so good.... Now it's a few years down the road...dry, dry, dry. Everything that should absolutely not be dry.. is... you guessed it: DRY. HUGE disappointment. And restaurant was so hot inside on a 60' night, that the only thing moist in the place was us sweating. Never again. It's over Mr. morgan. read more

I love this place. I have ordered twice on Uber Eats and had great experiences. The food arrived warm, everything was packaged nicely and neatly, and the food was delicious. I feel like they definitely could give a larger portion for the cole slaw though -- $7 for the small cup is a bit pricey. Can't wait to try this place in person one day! read more

Be warned........THEY CHARGE $12 FOR A CAN OF MODELO BEER ! This place is one of the biggest ripoff's in NY. The portions are very small and the prices are extremely high. If I am paying exorbitant prices for shitty food, please have the decency to serve it to me on a plate, instead of a paper dish. Also, the service is horrible. Sat at the bar, and the bartender ignored us for 10 minutes. The place was in utter chaos and I could tell that the food was going to suck. As it turned out the food was cold, dry and tasteless. I seriously do not understand how this place is still in business. If I was a gambling man, I will say that this place will not last another year. There is no way they can stay in business with this type of business model. Time will tell......but they are not getting another dollar from me. read more

Stopped by this place for brunch at about 12 pm on a Saturday. They have outdoor and indoor seating and adjoin the Elbow Room. I think they share a menu with the Elbow Room. They were pretty empty when we arrived they had a single server tending to the tables, she was quite friendly and took our orders in good time. The drinks came out to us in good speed. I had the watermelon margarita and it wasn't something I'd write home about. I had the fried chicken sandwich with fries and my wife had the breakfast burrito. The sandwich was good, th fries though were slightly on the cold side as if they were sitting there for a while. My wife liked her breakfast burrito. The place itself has a rustic feel to it. Like most Brooklyn restaurants the tables are small and squeezed together. Th place is worth visiting for their BBQ. read more

Anyone who thinks this place is decent has no tastebuds. Seriously. Stop writing reviews. The drinks are decent but again, portions are ridiculously small here. $11 for a cup, yes I said CUP of Mac and cheese that was under seasoned. You taste cream and macaroni and nothing else. The collard greens are delicious, but I've had better at Peaches Hot House. The chili was ridiculously salty, I couldn't even finish it. Three tacos for $14 yet you can't choose 3 different flavors? Lame considering how insanely tiny they were. Children's tacos is more like it. Two bites and you're done. As for the pulled pork? This is not a real BBQ place. The most unseasoned, underwhelming pulled pork I've ever tasted PERIOD. It was wet meat. Literally like they soaked it in water. It had no flavor whatsoever. You're better off eating cardboard. And their so-called homemade bbq sauce in sweet and spicy? Trash. The sweet tasted like maple syrup. It was sweet like candy and unpalatable. The spicy was barely spicy and tastes more like McDonalds bbq sauce than anything. Just don't go here. Don't do it to yourself. Don't read this thinking "hmm I might have a better time". You won't. There are much better places. The service is terrible too. We sat at our table for 20 minutes before the waiter serviced another table that came AFTER us. So take it how you want just don't ever go here. read more

Morgan's BBQ is located in a very bustling area a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Barclays Center. It's in a fairly centralized location so it's a great place to meet up with friends. This past week, a friend and I met at Morgan's for happy hour. I must say it was one of the best choices we ever made. I arrived at 4pm and seated myself outside. There weren't many customers but people started to trickle in moderately as it became closer to dinner time. The server quickly brought over ice water with a couple menus. The service continued to be friendly and attentive. Upon looking at the draft beers, I thought I entered beer heaven. I wanted to try every single one of them. They all seemed to have some kind of fruity element. The server was able to tell me a little bit about each one of them and which ones she suggested. I ended up getting 2 draft beers ($4 each for the happy hour special). Once my friend arrived we ordered wings along with chips and queso. The wings can't with buffalo sauce and blue cheese on the side. Everything was absolutely delicious. The wings and the queso were super flavorful. This place left a very positive impression on me and I'll definitely be back! read more

Morgan's Brooklyn Barbecue - I want to try every last one of these drafts! - Barbeque Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's a decently solid hipster BBQ joint in Brooklyn. I'm always up for some BBQ meats. You can't go wrong with a sliced brisket sandwich. As we had just come from the Brisket King NYC event and this place was close by we decided to drop in for a few drinks and eats. Juicy tender meat with good flavor. Cole slaw on the side. Had to pay extra for potato salad which was also ok. For $12 it was a reasonable sandwich but perhaps a tad overpriced especially when adding in a side. Nice service and looks like they have a great bourbon and whiskey list. The beer selection was so-so. Overall, I guess it's ok for the Brooklyn locals but I have had better. read more

Place was actually chill not packed. Staff was very friendly. Really enjoyed the chicken and waffles. Chicken wasn't too salty. The mac and cheese is just ok . The collard greens taste real fresh. Cute casual place. read more

Happened upon Morgans because the restaurant I wanted to go to had a 30 minute wait. As soon as you step in through the tall wood doors, the aroma hits you! The BBQ! I ordered half a pound of pork ribs (which turned out to be about 3 bones), the collard greens, fully loaded potato and Mac and cheese. The ribs are delicious. They're plain, but there's a bottle of their signature BBQ sauce on each table. The collards were also amazing as was the baked potato. The Mac and cheese left much to be desired, though. There's a full bar in the front, but the drink menu they gave us was very limited. I asked for 2 things and was told they had neither so I just stuck with water. There appears to be outdoor seating for the warmer months and this excites me! I can't wait to come back with my daughter. She's going to love it. read more

To all of my vegan comrades out there: I know you have friends who love BBQ. I know you basically never go out with anyone that eats meat these days for a variety of reasons. But if you're like me and just want to spend time with your friends over a meal, you can handle this BBQ joint with the aid of their absolutely DELICIOUS vegan mac and cheese. This is where I am going to bring all of my meat eating friends who want BBQ just so I can eat that mac & cheese again. It's really heavy/comfort food style with nacho strips, bread crumbs (?) and jalepeños on it, so you really don't need to invest in the 2 other vegan options (which are both sides, the collard greens and the beans.) So vegans, go eat that mac & cheese and indulge in the irony that is being a vegan dining at a BBQ restaurant. read more

Two of my friends raved about this place this past summer. They got take out and parked themselves at my house and I was impressed. I finally made it to the actual restaurant with them one super late Saturday night. I was tired but perked up a bit when I smelled all the BBQ that greeted me from the door. I didn't want anything to heavy b/c I felt if I even had a bite of a rib I would be laid out on the table from a food coma. I ordered the baked sweet potato w/ roasted turkey on top and I didn't think it would be at good as it was. My lovely friends ordered darn near everything on the menu to share and I think they only left scraps. We were able to speak with the owner who was definitely a cool personable guy who you could tell really wanted to make sure his customers were having a great food experience. He was even kind enough to offer us dessert to share on him. I think he really wanted me to pass out which i almost did when I tasted that new apple crumble cobbler and brownie...SOOOOO GOOD! However, if you know me i always looking for bread pudding...which was told is seasonal :(. I'll definitely be coming back and hoping bread pudding is in season! read more

We went there yesterday they asked us for reservations even though the place was empty!! They put us at a kindergarten table by the bar I really wanted to support this place but we left they didn't even care.We passed by half and hour later the place was still empty smh!! read more

Nothing blew me away. There's outdoor seating, which is nice enough. The inside is quite small, and mainly bar, to be honest. The decor is nothing interesting, which is also fine. The fatty brisket was good, no doubt, but nothing spectacular? And the sauces, again, were very delicious, but was it all the sugar that helped? The nachos with cheese was a whole lot of melted which, which isn't a problem for a value seeker, but didn't seem to have a lot of ingredients in the cheese itself. And the chips were weak. It's a fine BBQ joint if you're in the area and neeeeed BBQ, but otherwise I've had better. read more

Unfortunately ,they changed their recipe for the Kale Caesar salad and the macaroni and cheese and it's a disappointment ... why mess with what's great and delicious ??? Been coming here for the last 2 years and it was our favorite restaurant The former manager/owner was excellent but I think he moved to the Baltimore outpost - Since new management has taken over , the restaurant has lost some of its appeal and sparkle. Change is not always for the better read more

I love the bbq at Morgan's. The fatty brisket is authentic and my favorite. It reminds me of home. The wings and mac and cheese are pretty good as well. The service has always been good. My only regret is that it's not closer to my apt. read more

Ok, so have you ever dined out at a restaurant and didn't review it because you wanted to see if you could double your pleasure. Morgan's Barbecue is just the place. Me and a good friend dined here over the summer and I was very impressed - impressed - impressed! For a BBQ spot, I was most (yes .. wait for it) impressed with everything that I ordered off the menus. I was curious to see if this was a fluke but today's trip confirmed my initial feeling about this BBQ eatery. Before I say another word, my bartender Kate was simply amazing. If you are so luck, you may get the chance to meet Kate. Service with a smile and her ginger lemonade was to die for. I had two and wanted a third. The good news is that the whole staff is dynamite. You would be hard pressed to find a better run restaurant. I just wish they had more space to do their thing. I wouldn't want them to move but I wish the place was a tad larger. You will have died and gone to BBQ Heaven if you eat here. Trust me on this one, I know BBQ. read more

This place is gross- don't waste your money. It's overpriced and the service is HORRIBLE. The tables and chairs were filthy and no one cared when we told them. read more

I'm so sorry to say it, but this place is really nothing special. I was so excited to have a barbecue place that's a block away from me, but I've come here 4 times already and still have not been wowed. The meat is typically dry and all you can taste when eating the tacos is spice. The only good thing about this place is that you can order from the elbow room next-door and have it delivered with your meal. Sadly, I've heard that the mac & cheese is not so great either. Skip this place and go to Dinosaur BBQ instead. read more

Four and a half very high. Pretty certain this is currently the BEST BBQ you can find in NYC. Stopped in once a few weeks after it first opened in September and was disappointed to find they were awaiting their liquor license and were not permitted to allow BYOB either. We toughed it out nonetheless, and I was impressed by the food. Went back again last weekend when the full bar was in full swing during a Texas college football game, and was considerably more impressed. Everything was excellent all around when it came to the meats. Of particular note was the succulent and moist turkey, a rarity in NYC BBQ spots to say the least, the fine pork ribs and pulled pork, usually reliably the most underwhelming option at a BBQ place for me, in this case quite good and not dried out. The star of the show however for me was without a doubt the brisket, particularly the fatty, which was astonishingly good. Its infused with a wondrous deep smokiness, and melts in your mouth. It is better than Brisket-town's version, my former NYC brisket benchmark, by a considerable margin. As I mentioned the scene was quite boisterous to say the least, in large part due to the college game but enhanced even more so by the high energy staff whose antics verged on theatrics, in an entertaining way. The food was so good that the friend I dined with and I returned during the week for lunch and got the brisket and pulled pork tacos, served in the traditional Austin style on soft flour tortillas with Tex-Mex fixings. They were uniformly excellent as well. The scene was decidedly mellower this time and we were lucky enough to meet the pit master who proved to be a great guy who along with another Texan staffer gave me some valuable advice on which establishments I cannot miss, and which I should skip on my upcoming trip down to Austin. The place is fantastic and judging from my twice in a week visits here this week, quite dangerous for me to have this close to my apartment. read more

Go to delivery for my family of men who are mostly keto and very carnivorous almost pre-teens . We've ordered the smoked turkey, and pulled pork- both of which are delicious. However, the brisket is by far the best. The bbq sauce is soooooo good! Tangy, rich and the perfect complement to the brisket. Way better than Dinosaur bbq. Brisket and the bacon Mac and cheese are must orders! Their fries are also surprisingly fantastic, And withstood delivery, which is rare. Always pleased with the consistency and the portion size for the price. read more

Another great bbq, top 3 for me personally right now. Just saw that their closed due to a fire( good luck, hope your able to bounce back soon) brisket, ribs and pulled pork is really good at this spot and definitely recommend it when they open back up. read more

Made reservations for 8, but was given a table for 6 that we had to squeeze in 8 people. Got bacon and cornbread for appetizers, both were good but nothing to write home about. I got the smoked chicken for entree, it was bland and dry. The side of potato salad was pretty good. Other people in our group were happy with their food. Nibbled on some fried chicken sandwich and Mac and cheese, both were decent. Kinda disappointed that I was the only person at our table that ordered BBQ food at BBQ restaurant and ended up the only one unhappy with the food. read more

The restaurant has a very weird entrance area. You come threw a curtain and there's no hostess stand. I recommend having a reservation as the place is small and packed. I came for restaurant week and right when we were seated the waiter immediately told us about it. We both ordered from that menu. My bf got smokey wings, meat platter (brisket and pulled pork) and molten brownie. He was able to order lean brisket. I got the chicken nachos, chicken sandwich with no bun and extra lettuce, and molten brownie. We also ordered the corn bread. The corn bread didn't taste like cornbread at all. It was bland cake. The smokey wings were great with alittle spice. The nachos were good. I just thought the bean choice was odd. Both the brisket and pulled pork had no seasoning. Just plain meat. The piece of chicken for my sandwich was huge but also not seasoned. I asked for extra lettuce to make it a sandwich but the lettuce was shredded so that was a bummer. The bacon was crisp and alittle spicy. I did like the chicken sandwich dish. The molten brownie was a very fudgey brownie. I'm not sure why it's called molten. The food came out very fast and not much of a wait between courses. The waiter was very busy but he tried to check on us when he can. read more

The ribs were fairly good. The brisket was tough and dry. And I ordered the fatty brisket, but it had no fat on it. The pulled pork was abysmal. It was drier than crackly calloused feet. And it tasted like them, too (maybe even less flavor). It was inedible. I put some sauce on the pork on an attempt to salvage it. The sauce was super sweet and didn't help at all. The macaroni from Elbow Room was the best part of the meal. read more

We ordered buffalo wings, Mac and cheese, I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and she ordered the fatty brisket with cornbread. FAT GIRL SHIT! LOL and everything was good. We didn't finish it all but it was definitely tasty. We sat outside which was nice. I wish I got the waitress name but she was really dope! She really didn't bother us while we were just sitting there, she didn't rush us to leave. She was just awesome. Will come back again soon! read more

Morgan's Brooklyn Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Wow. A snug spot with a triangular bar that wraps around the kitchen. Outdoor seating could be pleasant in warm weather. Extremely friendly servers are all very willing to help. We were four people sharing an assortment of pounds, half and quarter pounds of meat. They were out of the giant beef ribs we saw being served at another table by the time we arrived, a shame as they were truly Dinosaur bones and appeared from afar to be fine specimens. The fatty brisket has a heavy rub that runs into the delicate meat. The meat is juicy and flakes apart easily. Smoke flavor is strong but does not out shine the expertly finished meat. Turkey slices are sliced thin and running with juice. Tender, these slices have a nice smokiness in each bite. Turkey tails are fatty and have a very thick skin. A slightly sour flavor is somewhat overwhelming although the meat is moist. Spare ribs are flecked with salt and pepper and smoked to a thin but crisp "skin" like exterior. Not much bark but a perfectly cooked piece of meat. Pink flows almost to the center and the cartiledge is just beginning to dissolve. The meat tears easily from the bone without canoeing. Pulled pork is thick and freshly pulled. Liquid love (juice) coats the pink and grey meat. Chunks of rub are mixed in. A cup of chili is rich with beans and meat. Corn bread is moist. A totally excellent bbq spot bested only barely by Hometown and Brisket Town, but just barely. read more

Definitely one of my favorite places in NYC for barbecue. But I may be biased since this was where my boyfriend and I went for our first date! I remember we got the pork ribs, pulled pork and brisket (I went for the "fatty" cut, which he says is when I won him over ;D ). The brisket was amazing and the tender pork ribs easily fell off the bone. The pulled pork didn't impress me and was too dry, but the brisket and ribs totally made up for it. We ended up coming here on a Friday night after Dinosaur BBQ had a long wait for walk-ins. There was ample seating for us here and we even saw the owner too! Good thing Dino BBQ was too crowded as Morgan's is way better (I've now dined at both). If you're curious, Mighty Quinns in East Village is my other favorite barbecue place. read more

One of my favorite BBQ spots in NYC - especially in the summer because of its outside seating right on Flatbush Ave (downtown, one of the busiest areas in Brooklyn). I've always gotten the chicken platter. Collard greens are great. They recently changed their macaroni and cheese recipe so if you're looking for a "macaroni pie" this is not it, their macaroni is more loose and slippery. Always a great time here, and the the manager Jason made sure of that during our last visit. Our waiter Sam was also amazing. Great hospitality and great food. read more

Morgan's Brooklyn Barbecue - Pitcher - Barbeque Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

There really and truly is no better barbecue place in NYC. If my opinion changes, I will gladly update this review (because it would mean I found more awesome barbecue). But let me be clear: Mighty Quinn's, Hill Country, Dino -- all fine and dandy, but Morgan's is on another level. The fatty brisket is probably the best brisket I have had anywhere, period. Perfectly moist and full of beef flavor without being overwhelmingly fatty. Beef sausage: up there with some of the best places you can find in Texas. The pulled pork is just right too, peppery and salty (which seems to be their approach to barbecue in general, lay on good quality salt and pepper to cook, and let the customer handle the saucing.) If there's a weakness it might be the ribs -- but I'm not a huge rib guy anyway, so I'll let it slide. And ohhhh the sides. I could eat the roasted corn with cheese and lime every day. Add in great smoky pintos and collards, and you have a complete meal. (Kind of.) Drinks are a plus too, great selection of bourbon and beer, as a barbecue place should have. I haven't had a dessert yet, and I doubt I will, since I would rarely leave room willingly. And now that the outdoor seating is open, it's a heckuva lot easier to get seated, and you can enjoy your food on sunny picnic benches watching the foot traffic on Flatbush. Whatever Morgan's is doing, I hope they keep doing it. read more
