Yankee BBQ Smokehouse & Tavern

I want to say 4.5 stars. We got the large sampler platter and the loganberry burnt ends. Ribs and smoked turkey were the top favs, along with the corn bread and smoked Mac and cheese. Some of the side dishes were a little dry (hence the half star deduction) but the flavor was great on everything. The server was very friendly and attentive and the prices were super reasonable. We will be back.

Excellent barbecue joint. Brisket was on point and delightfully incorporated into a cheesesteak sandwich. Beans were solid, but maybe a 3 1/2 out of five. Wednesdays is wings day, so gave those a dance. I would call them an acquired taste and far from the norm because they are smoked first really enjoyed Yankee. Barbecue will definitely be going back.

This is my new Favorite BBQ place in Buffalo. I’ve been here twice so far and both times were amazing. The first time I had the Brisket and Rib combo with mac and cheese and slaw. The ribs were super flavorful and moist. The Brisket was out of this world. It was super juicy and just the right amount of smokey and savory. It was fall apart tender. The sides were also very solid. The second time I had the Pastrami Sandwich with Cheesy Potatoes. This was the best Pastrami sandwich I’ve ever had. It was so moist and tender it basically melted in your mouth. The Sauerkraut topping was just the right amount and super tasty. The staff has been very friendly and efficient both times. Live this place! Great food Yankee BBQ!!! P.S I’d like to add their menu isn’t super big which tell

This place is legit! As someone who loves to throw meats in the smoker, and who has developed their own rub over the years, I know what BBQ should taste like. All of the meats they serve are crazy good from the turkey, to the brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and hot links. To go with the meats i had some of their sides like beans, Mac and cheese, cheesy potatoes, and coleslaw slaw. All were very good. If you haven't eaten here yet, do yourself a favor and check them out. The food is delicious and the portions are generous.

Oh my oh my. The food here is so awesome and dare I say almost better than sex. The brisket is tender juicy full of flavor. A bark that is crispy and ignites the taste buds with each bite. The smoked turkey was full of flavor throughout and tender and juicy. The ribs are fall off the bone tender. I tried them with the original bbq sauce and the Loganberry sauce. They Loganberry added a layer of sweetness and flavor that was amazing. All of the sauces are excellent. The sweet sauce complimented the turkey very well. I didn't dare put sauce on the brisket and ruin the flavor. The sides were generous and full of flavor. My boys had a sandwich. The one had the brisket and didn't add anything too it and my other son had the pulled pork with just a little sauce. The flavor and smokiness shines
