This place is huge. Tons of seating and parking. Beautiful outside seating along the river with views of the Green Island bridge. There was also additional seating outside under a tent with lights. The parking lot smelled like delicious smoked BBQ meats- always a good sign. We loved EVERYTHING we ate. The brisket was our favorite of the meats moist and flavorful- I tried all 3 BBQ sauces and preferred the original as the others were too spicy for my taste. The macaroni and cheese was yummy and while the fried bbq rice was exactly what it sounds like it'd be I was surprised by the flavor of fried rice and BBQ and how well it went together. We also enjoyed their fries and potatoe salad. My friend also enjoyed her chicken cheesesteak sandwich. The waitress was fast, friendly, and helped us decide what we wanted so we could try all the things I'd love to come back if ever in Troy, NY again.

Food was very good. Service was friendly. Wasn't too crowded. The brisket is the way to go.

Great spot to get BBQ in the capital region! The restaurant is located in a great location with nice views of the Hudson river from both the inside windows as well as the patio. I enjoyed my food, especially the Mac and cheese! The chicken and ribs were also good, but the ribs were a bit fattier than I'd like. The restaurant is cute inside, but can be a bit loud! Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive, and our food was brought to the table very quickly after ordering.

There is something about BBQ that makes you hungry! And when there's a hurricane ouside you might want to stuff your face -- this is the place. The 2 meat/2 side option hit the spot, and there's enough leftover for lunch! Fast service and they provide the take out containers with a nice plastic tote against the storm.

Have been coming here for over a decade now and I never get sick of it. Definitely one of the best BBQ places in the capital region and is a must try if you are in town. The portions are very filling and high quality. My personal favorite is the brisket. I typically get it in a pick two platter, but tried it in a sandwich today and was very satisfied. All the sides are very good as well, my favorites are mashed potatoes and the bbq fried rice.

I came here with some coworkers while in the area for a work conference. It is in a great location right on the river, and nearby to most of the downtown area. We went for dinner on a week night so it wasn't too busy. There is plenty of parking in the lot. The service was great throughout, and the vibes were great for a BBQ place. All of the food we tried was great, and well worth the price. I ordered to platter that had brisket and pulled pork. Both tasted great, and everyone else at the table loved their food as well. If I am ever in the area again, I would definitely come back.

I have been visiting dinosaur bbq on a regular basis, and almost every time they have been pretty consistent with their woods. Wings , deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, nachos are a must try. Yet to have a bad encounter with these orders. For entree ribs has been good most times but sometimes it tends to be on the dryer side. Chicken and pork sandwiches are also pretty good. They also have live music at times, most of the time it's busy, and they have quite a few screens with ongoing sporting events.

Recently hit Dinosaur BBQ in Troy to meet up with previous co-workers. It's been quite some time since I last visited Dinosaur and was unsure what to get for lunch. Happily, the server said the chef was recommending the fish and chips. I'm not a tartar sauce girl so I inquired if cocktail sauce was available. Yes! It is with a bit of habenero heat in it. Enjoyed the fantastic fish and chips. Enjoyed the company, the view. Parking is plentiful. Server was more than pleasant. It was a nice afternoon out connecting with old friends.

The food was insanely good here! The fried green tomatoes are a must try. I actually didn't care to order it but was pleasantly surprised at how delicious, crispy, and flavorful it was. Then, we created our own plate with ribs, brisket, chicken, mac and cheese, and cucumber salad. Everything melted in our mouth. It was more than enough food for two of us to share with leftovers. The service was kind and we were able to sit outside on the patio. Dinosaur BBQ is definitely a solid choice when in the area.
