This vibrant local chain in Times Square serves up huge plates of flavorful meats, massive drinks, and a lively atmosphere perfect for gatherings.
"Come For: An avalanche of frozen drinks, plus a rib or two. The Henny Colada at Dallas BBQ is more than a cocktail. It’s a full-on meal, and it’s reason enough to visit this chain when you’re in the mood to suck down a concrete-thick dessert swirled with, maybe not the finest of cognacs, but one with great brand recognition. At this spacious restaurant, where life-size buffalo gallop across the walls, the mood is festive, communal, and slightly grim. The space could use an update, and the packs of out-of-state high schoolers do kind of harsh the partytime vibes, but the ribs aren’t bad. Don’t kid yourself, though. You're here for the drinks.

"As you glide up the escalator at the entrance of Dallas BBQ in Times Square, you’re greeted by a landscape filled with wild horses kicking up dust. That’s what freedom looks like. If you want to know what freedom tastes like, try the signature 32oz Henny Colada served in a heavy glass goblet that could fit a bowling ball. It’s a wonderful drink. More of a dessert, really, and not too strong. The brisket, on the other hand, tastes like it spent the night in an ashtray. Edible, sure, but not quite barbecue. Stick to the ribs, and try the chicken that melts in your mouth in a way that feels inappropriate. Dallas BBQ is a good time. Bring 40 of your friends. The food isn’t exceptional, but the drinks and portion sizes are." - Bryan Kim
