    Never would've known this place has a sit down restaurant if my friends didn't tell me. Thrown off by all the advertisement like lash and weight loss papers on the table as mats. Note: there'd be even more at the bathroom. But advertisings aside, I think the food was good and pretty damn good for it's price. Need to buy a minimum amount of skewers to be cooked in front of you, which automatically rotates the skewers!! I think the quality was pretty good. Just note that they aren't seasoned. They do give you a spice mixture with salt on the table separately, which I don't mind since it's more DIY. If you don't prefer this you can have them cook it in the kitchen. Also note that once the charcoal runs out they won't replace it for you. Wish they informed us that so we would've eaten a bit faster. Other food we got was the potato pancake that was surprisingly super chewy. The beef pot that flavor was really good but be careful since it splatters a bit. Overall, the food is good and so is the price but don't expect too much from service. It wasn't terrible service but not great neither.

    This is an authentic northern China barbecue. If you order 20 or more skewers, you get to grill yourself and the experience is phenomenal. You could grill to exactly how you like. They have an auto skewer rotation mechanism so it's really easy. Remember to marinate the meat before since the food has only mild marination. The service is pretty quick, but there are kind of busy. The ambience is casual, a good place to go with friends.

    This is what is on their menu which isn't even available!

    Put in an order for pickup through GrubHub it was a combo of 5 meats on a stick so about 10 sticks for $16 not a bad price from their menu online....Anyway I put in the order and after about 15 mins they ACCEPT my order....it takes a little longer than they estimated 15-25 mins...I wait another 45 mins and finally they mark my order as complete! I show up to pick up my order the restaurant is empty, I approach the counter nobody greets me, they are just sitting down eating their lunch and staring at me like I have 2 heads...I just want to pick up my food and leave, finally someone pops out who speaks some English, and basically saying my order was not made! They saying I can't order 2 sticks of each meat and must order 10 sticks of each item instead which would like $90. I am like WTF, this was on your menu! After about 15 mins of arguing and back and forth he gets the manager/owner on the phone who offers to call the GrubHub to give me a refund which she never did. We had to call later to get refund. So why did you accept my order and mark it as complete ? You could have just cancelled the order. Kind of weird and shady on their part. They need to update their menu to what you can actually get. Not so much upset about the money but the wasting of my time; more than an hour. with all those nonsense. Bottom line avoid this place, is a waste of time and money....Plenty of other places in the area to try serving the same type of food .

    Beside they have the best bbq skewers in the town, Good food. Reasonable price. Good service. Open late. Lots of indoor seating. Curbside pickup available. What else do you need?? Hands down the best local soul-food restaurant of 东北老乡们。

    Good value and good amount of food! We ordered cooked skewers which served ready to eat. They tasted really good at the beginning, but were getting cold as we ate. Another option is to cook them on table. Service was just okay, as no one greeted us upon arrival and we waited a little bit to sit down even though the restaurant was half empty. However, I don't expect extraordinary service in Flushing anyway. I'll definitely come back for the skewers and the authentic northeast cuisine.

    Got turned away at the door, but the next party was let in no problem. Don't go here unless you know the owner I guess.

    I had choices and this wasn't a good one - save yourself the hassle. 3:50 PM on Thursday; Got here…read morewith no lines and barely any staff. 5 minutes in an empty seating area waiting to seat a party of 2 with nothing but empty tables 15 minutes into waiting; we finally were allowed to place our order; waited another 20 minutes for water and a marg in the rocks. While waiting I checked out the restroom and found it unpleasant. Thinking I'd have my food ready by the time I returned and no drinks and no food yet. The waiting continues - 4:30 I finally get our drinks; had to send the marg back - I think they forgot the alcohol in it. Still waiting on food; one hour later after being seated - still waiting on food. I mean if this is how Dallas BBQ wants to present themselves there's certainly much room for improvement. Food quality was great, my steak was cooked to order; shrimp and ribs were hot and delicious. Just needs some improvement in order taking and getting the drinks out as fast as possible. That would make a huge difference in the experience. Ambiance was fine; it was comfortable and the music was decent elevator noise. Things I'd like to see improved - times between first touch to customer - once you get the drink orders and bring the drinks be ready for the food order. Don't take forever to speak to the customers about their needs. Definitely would be a 3 or 4 stars if service was faster. Maybe we just had a newbie waitress

    Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I absolutely love this place! Really great value,…read morebig portions, well packaged whenever I buy takeout.

    We had such a great experience here! We ate so much delicious meat that we left completely stuffed…read more We especially loved the Iron Age steak--it was so flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked that we ended up ordering three or four portions. Honestly, there wasn't a single meat dish we didn't enjoy. The salad was also surprisingly delicious, with a very tasty and flavorful dressing--it's definitely a must-try. The corn was decent as well. For dessert, they went above and beyond. They surprised us by bringing out cheesecake, and they even brought us an extra slice when I requested it, which made our celebration even more special. Our server and the manager were both excellent, and the staff overall were friendly and welcoming. I really can't say enough positive things about this place. We will definitely be coming back!

    We had been eyeing Iron Age in Rego Park for a while and finally decided to give it a try. We were…read morecraving Korean BBQ and it seemed like the right time to go. It is an all you can eat setup for a flat fee of around $30, with roughly 90 minutes to work through as much as you want. I will be honest -- I have mixed feelings about the time limit format. At that point it is not really all you can eat, it is all you can eat within a window. The other consideration is that the meats cook at their own pace in the BBQ pit, which naturally slows things down regardless of how hungry you are. That said, my wife and I were both satisfied by the end of the meal. We ate our fill and left happy, which is ultimately the goal. The food was genuinely good -- good enough that I actually enjoyed this meal more than some of the higher end Korean BBQ spots I have visited. That says something. I will be back. The value is solid and the experience delivered. Though I have to be honest -- nothing in this city touches the hole in the wall Korean BBQ spots in Flushing. Those are in a league of their own.

(Just off the 7 /or walk from the Q104 / R,M - Northern Blvd. to Q18) It was just okay, not Amazing by what the socials say. Had the ($21) 1/4 Chicken & Ribs Plate, they threw in an extra 1/4. (I was overwhelmed at first and ordered a plain quarter chicken (dark meat) & 3-rib plate. The cashier was nice enough to recommend the #8 combo (1/4 Chicken, 3 Ribs) instead.) The cut of ribs were good but slightly dry. Was recommended the beans (good) with white rice (dry) by the cashier. Dark meat was the best. First bites of the white meat & ribs were dry, but got better towards the middle. The green sauce was watery and didn't have much flavor. Not sure why everyone raves about green sauce. Was expecting Mama's Empanadas level, but this was 1/4 of that flavor. The Cantonese-speaking cashier was so nice & chill! Communication was easy (English, Cantonese, or Spanish) & they had a steady flow of customers, of all backgrounds. I would get the food to go, the dining area is one long, narrow room and for whatever reason the floor was very wet. I guess it's good that they mopped at 4 PM? There were a few guys that were either workers or hanging out at the far back tables, one or two middle-age couples dining in. It was just kind of a sad ambience. The cashier recommended the Lomo Saltado next time. Maybe I went at a slow time, 4 PM Friday. First bite of food at home was decent, but nothing overwhelming. I would stick to all dark meat! Reheat the pink beans at home. Glad that they usually get their workers two weeks vacation (as per a sign in 2022) - shows that business is good! *Didn't realize they're connected to Caravan Chicken in Astoria. Might try them (closer to me) to compare.
