"I have very fond memories of going to Dallas BBQs in the West Village when I was a teenager, and many years later in Times Square. However, after the chain closed down key locations and my culinary interests expanded I confess I rarely went. For context, my last visit to a BBQs was to the Times Square location somewhere around 2019 or thereabouts. One night, while trying to find a quick bite in downtown Brooklyn, I suggested BBQs and my friends were all for it. This BBQs is pretty much the main show on this block. Sandwiched in between other tall buildings, you could be forgiven for missing it if you walked by too quickly. There is a waiting area inside but we only waited a few minutes to be seated. Once we sat down, it was kind of like visiting an old friend. The dark wood tables and chairs. The carpet that looked like some odd, dark color that is hard to define. The odd lighting that creates both dark corners and really bright spots at the same time. And of course, the paper menu on the table. This was definitely a BBQs and it felt somehow comforting to my 16 year old self. Our waiter was...very busy. I got the feeling this person had many more tickets assigned to him than one would normally have. He always seemed to be dashing from one place to another, and once we had our food, he basically vanished until we were almost done eating. I don 't blame BBQs specifically for this. I think this is an artifact of the current staffing issues many restaurants are having. I will say that flagging employees down to help us out was not a problem so I had a good experience overall. So what about the food? It was a sold B experience. I had a quarter chicken with corn bread and of course the Whiskey Wings. I was happy to see that after all these years the wings are still gigantic and wonderfully crispy. The chicken was moist and having some BBQ sauce to dip it into was nice. All of us kind of made a mess of ourselves with the wings, but we enjoyed the heck out of them! I wouldn 't call this a go to place in BK, but it definitely did the job in a pinch and I would go back."

"Once inside, we spoke to what appeared to be a table coordinator. She moved us to the front of another queue, informing those who had been waiting that we had priority due to our reservation. This understandably upset the people who had been in line without reservations. The organization was lacking, as we ended up waiting another 10 to 15 minutes for a table to become available, despite seeing many people leaving from a busy area further back. When we pointed this out, the coordinator seemed confused and didn’t grasp our suggestion that we should check for available tables down there. I asked if we could inquire about those tables, but she insisted she would be informed via her radio when there was space—whatever that meant. I couldn’t help but wonder why they allowed reservations if there were no available tables and why people without reservations were allowed to queue, potentially taking reserved tables. The coordinator had no answers and simply shrugged, saying she didn't know. Additionally, no one checked our reservation, so we could have easily claimed we had booked without consequence. It felt rather chaotic, but we finally managed to snag a small table on the left. A waitress approached us—she was polite and friendly—but she kept getting distracted, shouting orders to other staff about food being taken to the wrong tables. It was quite noisy, with a lot of shouting, but the restaurant still managed to have a lively atmosphere. As for the food, we ordered a variety: Hennessey chicken wings, sticky boneless wings, spicy wings, pulled pork burgers cooked well, and brisket burgers cooked medium-well. The portions were generous, and everything tasted good, although the brisket burgers were a bit more rare than medium-well. We couldn't finish everything and took the leftovers in boxes to give to people in need on the streets. Overall, the experience was decent. The prices were reasonable, and the portions generous—consider sharing if you go! The frozen drinks were delicious, but the reservation system and general organization at the entrance definitely need improvement."
