Review by Nedra Skiles

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Buffalo is a must-visit! 🌟 The rustic ambiance sets the perfect mood for a hearty meal. We kicked off with the Devil’s Duel spicy wings - just enough heat, though a few were slightly burnt. The brisket sandwich was tender and aromatic, albeit a tad salty.

For our main, we shared the combo platter; the portions were generous and the cornbread was heavenly. While I've had better BBQ elsewhere, the fast service and great draft beer made up for it. Great spot if you're in the area - definitely coming back! 🍖✨
