Bark Barbecue in Brooklyn was pretty good. The mac and cheese – it's legit. Creamy, cheesy goodness that I could eat all day. And the brisket? It was so tender and smoky, it practically melts in your mouth.
Now, the pulled pork with plantain was just okay, nothing to write home about. But honestly, with everything else being so good, it's easy to overlook.
The only downside? The wait. I waited for an hour before getting the food. Not too bad if you grab a drink from the bars nearby.
Overall, it was a solid experience. I'm not sure if I'd wait in line again, but those flavors are definitely tempting me to come back for more.
Waste no time and dive into an explosion of Latin Caribbean flavors with Texan BBQ domincan style. Their service is just outstanding. Their smiles welcoming. Their suggestions should not be taken for granted & the food will leave your body and soul absolutely filled with joy and happiness. Best BBQ in NYC hands down and the most amazing success story. Dale!
Simply delicious! We had heard about this wonderful place and during a quick trip to NY decided to stop by. Oh my goodness! Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The services is ????. The chef let us try somethings before ordering. The price reasonable for the location and the view. We had the Mac and cheese to die for! You can feel the Dominican Sazón! Brisket and the carnitas ????????on tostones just an explosion of flavors when it hits your mouth. I will be back to try the rest of the menu which I’m sure is just as delicious.
Big Disappointment not worth the hype over priced food. I go to Billy joes ribworks get 3 ribs and still doesn’t past over 55 dollars
Think they played with the scale when I was getting my food since when two ribs full of bone and fat cost 130 dollars? I went there with my brothers yesterday. I think $129.50 for 2 ribs is a bit too much specially how much fat they had no flavor and over cooked. It felt like the meat had no feature to it would just break down as you’d chew. I’m the receipt the lady marked it down as three ribs
Food placement wasn’t that great as soon as I picked it up a whole cut up sausage fell off I told them it was okay I didn’t mind it but they were nice enough to bring another one to our table. I’m happy for that. Sausages were good.
The lady at the register seemed to have an attitude towards my brother who is light skin and ordered before me then changed it when he left a good tip, and then me but nicer to me still not a good attitude treated me different because I look white to be frank but not nice until yet until she saw the tip also and he told me noticed she did the same thing to him. So I’m not just seeing and thinking things. My brothers a gun teacher and we met up after work to go there. We all young looking professionals not sure what her deal was.
They should have taste samples for people to taste and not let people taste all the food after they already ordered while orders are waiting in line.
The chicharrón was good. It had a nice Smokey flavor and crispy could be more crispy not bad.
The sausages were delicious
I got the ribs because the guy Recomended them saying they were really good turns out they weren’t I found out the hard way they looked like then were sitting there on the wood board for a while cold and meat was mushy
15 dollars for a small cup of rice? These people are out of their minds it’s a money grab
Mac and cheese was good but not enough Mc and cheese to charge 10 dollars for that was like a 5-6 dollar portion
As a Dominican myself and “Dominican inspired bbq” the food has no taste no flavor no Dominican seasoning. Cool concept not cheap food doesn’t live up to the expectations ????????????
We went to the TimeOut Market and saw a very long line. And when it comes to food, a very long line means very tasty food. We got a sampler platter and it had pulled pork, brisket, beef ribs, chicharron, an open faced fried plantain sandwich (cannot remember the name), fried plantain, and my favorite which was the sausage. Everything was really good. While on the line we were brought a piece of sausage to try. What an experience. That was a line worth waiting on. It was five of us and we shared the sampler and still needed a container for what we could not finish. Highly recommend.
When in Dumbo, Brooklyn stop at 55 Water st. And head to the 5floor. Bark BBQ is the place to sit and eat. The view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge is beautiful. The food is a little pricey but well worth it. Their tres golpes and chicharon are on the money. The Mac and cheese is on another level. They have a great selection of food. Will definitely go again!
Wao…just Wao. Found out about this place in an Instagram reel, and I wanted to wait to see if the hype was going to die and it never did. That’s when I decided to come in and see what was all about.
Two magical cooking styles came in together and BOOM amazing barbecue is served from Bark Barbecue.
The food here is on another level. The ribs, the brisket, the smoked carnitas with patacon, the chicken, I mean everything is freaking amazing. This spot is a place who easily got into my top 5 places to go eat and chill.
Be ready for a long line, but it’s all worth it. Try everything on the menu if you can. Message me if you going because I will join you.
The staff here is very friendly. I met Julio who told me “ everything here is good…it’s made with love”, and once you have love in the food equation food comes out amazing.
With no doubt I’ll return here.
P.S The Torta here is out this world. A must get.
Check it out…thank me later!
This place is located in the Timeout market 5th floor. It is basically in the food market where you grab own table and do self serve.
The line was really long when I went on Saturday around noon. I waited about 30 minutes on the line to order. But it was fun and enjoyable 30 minutes. Indeed, their strategy is very clever. The chef entertained people as he prepared the food. Sometimes, he shared pieces of meats to customers which made them even more appetizing.
I originally went to get sandwiches but I changed my mind while I was waiting on the line. I honestly couldn’t resist barbecue after watching chef’s show????
They cut the meats as people order so that people can leave with their order. I went back to my table with half pound of brisket and chicharron. They both taste so good. I asked for fatty brisket for personal preference. Their brisket was so tender and smoky. Dominican style chicharron was super crispy pork belly with skin. Overall, their barbecue was the best I haven’t had for awhile. Everyone must try their Bark Sauce. It is really good pairing with the meats.
