This Dinosaur Bar-B-Que location is part of a chain serving Southern-style smoked meats and draft brews (~25 options) in a dark wood, inviting, relaxing retro setting. They are located right along the Hudson River in the historic area of Troy and have seating (inside and outside) that overlooks the river. Otherwise, their interior is quiet huge, with seating on the bar side (at the bar, hightops, tables) or in the family area (tables, booths). They are appropriate for singles, couples, families or groups (two private rooms). If you cannot stay to eat, they also provide carryout options. They have their own lot, with plenty of off street parking. Inside they have TVs spread around for viewing current sporting events. Further, they have live music (Friday & Saturday evenings). Of course, they feature smoked meats which include wings, shrimp, pulled pork, brisket, sausage, salmon, chicken, and ribs. And of the latter are available meal options. For those that cannot choose just one - have a platter or two or three. They too offer burgers or their smoked meats in various sandwich options. Sides include BBQ beans, fries, BBQ fried rice, Mac & cheese, chili, greens, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, coleslaw or potato salad. We tried their Vegetarian Smoked Portobello sandwich, BBQ Ribs, smoked sausage, smoked chicken, pulled pork and brisket. We loved all of their smoked options. The sides too were excellent. Added to the nice food, the service was too superior. We look forward to our next visit.

Once we received our food, it actually wasn't too bad. It basically took 1 full hour to receive our order even though we were maybe 10 people in total in the pub who ordered food. And we are talking about fast food orders like chicken wings, club sandwich, fries, etc. First time going there and the last time. Only reason I don't rate it lower than a "3" is because the quality of the food was ok.I am so sorry the waitress / bartender should have told you that it takes 20 minutes for chicken wings. We do not precook our wings, which makes them really good but takes longer. We have hired more help so our service is much better now. Hope you give us another try.
