    Great service. Food was mostly good, but given big crowd of pre-game Jets fans, not all dishes were piping hot.

    Watched the NLCS game 2 while pre-gaming for the Jets / Bills game at Metlife. Had a wonderful time. Excellent service.

    Good food. Could have been hotter. They need to add a sampler plate to the menu. Two of us ordered platter for four since that was the only way to try a little of everything. Brought home 3-4 lbs of meat.

    They need to get different bbq sauce. If they did, one of the few places in the NYC metro to get good ribs.

    Food was not fresh, came out somewhat cold. Brisket and ribs had no flavor. BBQ beans were not bbq beans, very bland. Not an ideal place to eat if you are looking for good bbq.

    Way overpriced for what you get -everything is al la carte. Order a pulled BBQ sandwich for $15, with fries - add another $6. For an expensive meal - flimsy plastic cups and plastic plates did not go w/the vibe. I get wanting to channel a laid back, country feel - but it felt cheap and overpriced. The music was so loud, for a restaurant, it was louder than being in a club. You had a to scream at the person across to have a conversation. We had to leave early - there are so many better options at American Dream

    Food was basic, nothing to bring us back. Food came out quickly. Food was NOT hot, it was room temp. However, we did like the brisket. Loud depressing country music. Plastic cups and paper boats. Staff looked exhausted and half asleep. No vibe. For what we spent, not worth it at all.

    First time at House of Que and it will not be our last! We came over right after snowboarding at Big Snow (steps away- perfect to refuel!) and were seated immediately. Our server, Christian, was PHENOMENAL. We are looking forward to our next visit - the Texas roll and pork belly are absolute must try’s!
